Guristas Forlorn Hub is now one of the best anoms to run in guristas space because its almost only BCs, BSs and cruisers so I thought this might be something the tornado can do with some efficiency so I went to sisi and played around for a bit with fits.

This manages to do it if you kill all the cruisers and BCs quickly (except trigger ofc) but i want to do it faster, any suggestions? I ran out of ideas.
The tank needs to be this good at least because it hurts like hell sometimes.
There is some ECM in the site so sensor backup array or eccm is a must have if you wish to ever finish that wave.

What Bouny Ticks are you getting with that?

Becuase of the fitting limitations with that ship, Maybe the only way to really improve is to skill tech 2 guns, use implants, faction mods, etc.

The obvious comment is to use a maelstrom. It is more designed for that purpose with its shield boost bonus.

Minmatar's lack of kinetic damage will also hold you back.

Get a Machariel with assigned fighters. Or get a Carrier. Or get a sniping Ragnarok with a Huginn for webs and paints.

Or get two Machariels with assigned fighters, I don't know.

How to get more money ? By doing more damage. How to do more damage ? Get better ships. What's better than a Tornado ? A Machariel. What's even better ? A Machariel with assigned fighters. What's even better ? A Machariel and a Carrier.

It's not rocket science :/

And ratting with a tier 3 is hilariously bad, sorry. I mean, get a Maelstrom, it's 200% better.

It tanks better, it does more DPS, it does have drones...What else would you want ?

Newer players usually dont understand well the "tracking" problems and usually have no high skills. They keep asking why his med guns are so "bad" and why cannot hit frigates and you are suggesting then yo use large guns? Shocked

this will end like people using a BS for L2 missions ask why they cant hit nothing. Roll
