I have a distant memory of reading something somewhere about eve guns being more complicated than "high DPS = good".

I think the gist was something along the lines of 500 DPS on medium guns isn't the same as 500 DPS on large guns and it's all down to what you're shooting at.

Does anyone have any decent links to some indepth over nerdery about all things gunnery and how it effects the new Tier 3 BCs?

Large guns have hard time hitting small targets. That pretty much the gist of it. Also: http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?4825-AMA-weapon-magic-for-dummies has pretty much everything you could hope for
