As the title says, which would be better for running C3s or C4s with a gang RR Tengus. As I understand it HAMs are short range high dps while HMs are long range good dps. I am leaning towards HAMs because I could fly a HAM Legion (and I really want to fly a Pilgrim as well).

Eventually I might get HMs but there are other things I want to train before that.


EDIT: I know there is a certain someone who will come to say "live in a C5, or anything but a C4", and one of those things I want to train before HMs (or even a Tengu) is a Naglfar :)

I dunno bout c4s but I absolutely hated HML tengu in c3s against the frigs, and thats with decent missile skills, before the hml nerf. At least they had the range though, I dont think hams would end well.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

HMs for RR gangs cause slowboating around with your entire gang in tow to get into range sucks.

HML. sleepers will often spawn at long range and the time traveling to get them into HAM range wont be offset by the increased DPS. not by a long shot. This is especially true for c4's btw where spawns sometimes spawn 4 systems over and you have to wait a few hours for them to get close (in pocket warps are awesome)
