Hi, I am looking for a Minmatar build to cut through level 3 soldier missions. Would Hurricane be better than Tornado?

If you have a level 3 build please post as I cant find a recent build.

Thanks♡♥♡

The thing about large guns is they don't do well with killing small ships due to the relationship between the signature resolution of the guns and the signature radius of the ships (see page 2 of this guide) and level 3s are mostly small ships. If you know how to keep transversal low and keep your distance then a tornado can work, but I would probably stick with the hurricane for now as higher DPS seems better but in this case it is not. The other thing is you can't carry any drones with a Tornado, so if you do get disrupted by a frig you are probably gonna lose your ship.

Something like this works well but requires a power grid implant or you can use a meta shield extender. The drones, hardeners and ammo are changed depending on the rats you are fighting. If you can't use T2 guns using meta guns will work fine. I wouldn't fly the ship if you can't use the T2 mods listed in the mid and low slots.
