Do HAMs use the explosion velocity skills?

So I've seen some really old threads talking about how skills like "Guided Missile Precision" don't apply to HAMs...

Is this still the case? Or has this changed?

The skill says:
Quote:
5% decrease per level in factor of signature radius for all missile explosions.


The "all" leads me to believe that it does apply to HAMs, am I correct?


There is also Target Navigation Prediction:

Quote:
10% decrease per level in factor of target's velocity for all missiles.





Do these apply to HAMs?

Since December, Guided Missile Precision has applied to all missiles. At the time CCP talked about changing the name... but that obviously didn't happen.

Target Navigation Prediction has always applied to all missiles.

While we're on the subject, those same threads that told you that GMP didn't do anything for rockets/HAMs/torps will also tell you that Warhead Rigor Catalysts also didn't help them. This is similarly no longer true: rigors and flares now affect all missiles equally.

Thats great news.

Thanks.


Now because of these changes... How well are HAMs vs frigates and/or destroyers?

I'm eyeing the Caracal, Bellicose, and Cyclone... Just need the missile skills.

Better than it used to be (truly considering reworking my pve tengu to a hammie)

Side note if you are going to be fighting predominately small targets the Rapid Light Launcher on a Caracal is REALLY fun (especially with high graphics and individually assigning launchers to targets)

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Intresting, I'd have to keep them grouped for pvp though Smile
