How good are drones (Warrior II in my case) at taking out other small drones? Does it take too long to be worth it?

If I am using 220 AC will I need to web (or double web) attacking drones in order to hit them?

Or do I just ignore the attacking drones and pour all of my DPS into the opposing vessel?

it depends greatly on the situation, using smaller 'small' auto-cannons will result in better dps to the tiny and fast drone targets.

However, this will reduce your dps vs bigger targets (such as a cruiser).

Also pay attention to the damage type done by the drones. warrior 2's do explosive, better against armour tanking frigs. where-as hobgoblins do thermal.

caldari (as is their racial flavour) have big shield tanks on their drones, and thus are quite good at resisting an attack by mimitar drones, gallente drones on the other hand do not.

While everything the poster above said is true. You will find that in PvP 99% of people use Minmatar or Gallente Drones...and your Warrior 2s will chew through Hobgobs/Hammerheads with great ease and speed...
