hmm i dont think it was hitting the hull. I rarely see such big difference in damage between volleys with faction or T1 missiles. Are the rage missle like a roll the dice where u either have max damage or bare mim? i am kinda lost at why am i having such low volley damage sometimes

Angels tend to have the same resists between shield and armor. Assuming you were shooting at a Gist Commander (16,434 EHP versus explosive) at its orbit speed, you should have been able to two shot it pretty easily. Odd.

As Lady Naween pointed out, you may have been a victim of the 99% hull resist bug.

just did angel cartel spies one of those warlord bs was at velocity 270 or so took like 1200 damage . i am pretty sure its not the 99% hull resist bug.

Also when i use faction or t1, i never get this low volley damage. The only think i could think of is the exp velocity difference between rage and t1/faction. but the diference is 71m/s(faction/t1) and 61m/s(rage)

then again, when i use fury cruise missiles exp velocity is 59m/s i never notice volley as low as rage torpedo.

lastly i dont think it is exp radius because i have 3 tps on the bs all the time.

Whats your Marauder skill?

Painter skills?

Ttry using Cruise, Torps DPS above cruise, for the range difference, just inst worth it.

Rage Cruise with paint can give nice dps, with good range too.

Confirming I have seen the resist bug in action and now only use sentries and t1 ammo.

Rage torps are terrible vs rats. Don't use them. Anythign fast or small will dodge most of the damage.

I would surmise that your first volley hit before the BS rat got to full speed. Just use T1. Or cruise missiles. Much better range.

don't listen to them carebears, torps are awesome. Rage torps for pve are really only useful in a few select missions like EA where it makes a difference of 2 or 3 volleys per BS, rest of the time use t1 or faction torps (or javelins if your range skills are still low).
