Roaming around LS recently, and all I seem to see for the T3 destroyers are Confessors, Svipuls and Hecates. Where are the Jackdaws? Following that question, is there something wrong with the Jackdaw,, or just less popular because or it requireing missile skills?

i actually see quite a bunch of MASB jackdaws around. its a better ship than the hecate imo, but the svipul and confessor are still way more popular

I always flying the Jackdaw, it has a hell of Tank with 40k EHP or about 600 EHP/s. And sometimes i take my Jackdaw with Light Missiles if i want (try) to kite. it has the lowest Speed und damage, but the best tank, i can easily tank a Auto cannon svipul with my active tank Fitting.

sure... svipul >> confessor >>>>> hecate/jackdaw, but i dont fly meta, i fly what i like!

Triple masb jackdaw is a blast to fly, requires quite a bit of micromanagement.....but fun as hell anyway.

Funny enough I saw more in null than in low. By far my favorite ship in game next to the rff.

Check my kb....they are insane.....I had one tank 18k dmg before finally popping, and that was because I was a little overwhelmed with managing 3 reps and manual piloting.

Jackdaw is decent, I see them around a decent amount. They are definitely better than the Hecate. However the reason you don't see them as often is because the Svipul and Confessor are in leagues of their own. The Jackdaw and Hecate just can't keep up.

Using it either as a LML keres with 4 damps or as an escort for BC-sized things with remote tracking computers. RTCs can lead to some pretty crazy values for tracking and range.

only people i see running Jackdaws is us. Like no one but a VERY small group of people run them. TBH, we just use them more for mission farming do to the 80km range u get without losing buffer tank.

imo, if it looked better we would make it one of our main line pvp doctrines im sure.

could it work as a decent tackle ship with that crazy tank it can field? or is it just to slow to actually catch stuff?
