With mid-level skills you should reach past 30km with t1 torps. The SB gets a range bonus remember.

With t2 long range torps and velocity rigs you can get out to 60km+

Overhaul Dscan!

T1/Faction torps should be able to hit out to 45km easy with Missile Projection IV and Missile Bombardment IV. Javelin (aka long range) torps are just T1 torps that do less damage but have more range, and shouldn't be needed at 30km. Don't use Rage torps unless your target has a BS class sig size, is double webbed and has been painted by a Hyena or Golem with 2-3 TPs.

T2 Range Torps (Javelin) have the exact same Exp Vol / Exp Rad as T1 Torps. I think you mean T2 Damage Torps (Rage) which have much worse accuracy.

He wrote "Rage torps", not "range torps".

But he should have said "BS sig, single webbed, dual-unbonused-painted".

Sorry Stoicfaux Oops

I am terribad at reading when I am this tired.

Insomnia. Past 36 hours words get a little fuzzy.

But yeah he is completely right Rage Torps are very inaccurate even on a Bomber.

Bombers have such a large range bonus on torps that you should always be using faction torps, not T2. Additional range from javelins is simply not worth the sacrifices, and rage torps just won't do damage to anything smaller than a battleship, and even battleships would need a few painters on them. Also, it's damn difficult to fit T2 siege launchers on a bomber. Fits with arbalests are tight already.
