Best missile type for the Tengu?

After using a Caracal and CNI with rapid light launchers, I've been training the skills to get into the Tengu for PVE lowsec missions. I intend to use it for DED sites and maybe even nullsec combat sites, and have been wondering what missile launchers I should use. I have good light missile skills already, but have been looking into heavy missiles and HAMs for a quicker means to run sites. Often the rapid light launchers will fail to kill certain battleships in PVE due to the long reload time and other reasons, and so I was wondering if it is worth training into heavy missiles more or HAM launchers for the Tengu?

Either are going to give you a big boost over light missiles for killing battleships. Go with heavy missiles if you want more range and higher damage against battleships. HAMs will probably help more when you inevitably get jumped by someone in something smaller though.

i dont fly a hamgu but i have killed like a hundred or so people with a ham legion so they're pretty boss for that.

range becomes a little irritating with hams granted but the new missile comps help offset that.

For a PvE Tengu I highly recommend zaqq's 1000 dps Hamgu fit.

Zaqq's youtube vid about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bk2hyIJlgk

You can go without a blingy fit and still get dps around 880+ which is still nice

Have fun!

HAMS,
It's best defense is basically that it's fairly fast (Fuel cat subsystem) givng an average afterburner 500m/s. With ok missile skills you'll get 20+km range without suffering the usual issues with a fast ship that's using short range guns. Coupled with the better damage application of HAMs it's pretty solidly the best choice for PvE.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.
