HAMs are meh against frigs, and I need something with some serious tanking ability. Can the sac pull off a decent RML setup?

the only problem of rlml launchers is DPS. if you're ok with destroyer level DPS on a 200m hull, go for it.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Seeing as you would be wasting two hull bonuses I would say bad idea. Get a Cerberus instead if you want a RLM HAC.

Oh right. Forgot the added bonus was to heavy missiles. Read it as missiles for some reason

For fighting frigs? Rocket Cerb > All

To be honest it's worth slapping RLML on it in game and seeing if any of the ships bonuses apply. CCP makes mistakes from time to time some on purpose some not. For example the lovely HAM and HML velocity bonus the osprey navy issue gives actually applies to RLML without any mention of it in description. So I suppose if you could sneak some bonused RLMLs on a sac it would be a surpise to all. However cerb is still obviously superior.

Wrote something more detailed here about the damage application of HAMS if stasis webifier is applied to an afterburning frigate. However the forums EAT my post. Eve search might help but Im to lazy to look.

Sac will do 100 damage per second to an afterburning frigate with no damage mod and stasis webifier applied. That's missiles alone and ofc it can also use drones. So, you're much better off in a sac close range against frigates than most other hacs bar maybe Ishtar and certainly Cerberus. So ham sac with no damage mod does 1 third of its damage to an abing frigate.

A ham Drake will do around 200dps without drones. Point is this thing about hams being bad against frigates is not all too accurate. No doubt without a web the damage is P!SS poor but with web it good. Not to mention light missiles don't do full damage to abing frigates either. They lose from 35 - 20% of their damage shooting at an afterburning frigate or a ship bonused for sig reduction like a Talwar, Interceptor or Assault frigates.

So! Hams are good with 1 web applied and even better with 2 webs applied. Same with HML's and sh!t. Check the numbers yourselves and what not.
