Is there any thing Tier 3 Battle Cruissers can't do?

I have flown them in PvP but that wasn't the part that shocked me.

I have been doing anoms, sig's, and missions with all of the different Tier 3 Battle Cruisers in no time flat.
If you thought a drake was bad go do a Level 3 in a Tier 3 My average time is 6 mins. would probably be 4-5 if it wasn't for warping.

I don't even want to know what happens one you get 3 of them and a HAC and blow 4's out.

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Tank anything better than a Level 3, or a well-fit frigate for that matter.

On a purely PvE perspective... any frig that happens too close, incursions (you might be able to pull off a vanguard but the tank would gimp your fit or it'd be risky), lv 4''s... prob quite a few other things too

Tank? You mean the interceptor alt or the T2?
Incursions and WH rats a side I've had zero problems with any "normal" rats.


And the Talos has drones.........I mean its gallente as hell but damb.

What does this even mean? lol

And as the other posters have said, the main thing the tier 3 BCs can't do is tank worth crap and hit close-in ships. Their 'tank' is killing stuff before it can get near them. They are made for pure applied DPS, that is their main role.

Tank, hit frigates if it's not a Talos.

Talons I agree. A Tornado would need two webs and a scrambler and the Naga would need a scrambler and a web. This would make them vulnerable in other ways and thus is fair.

Yes, but it can be an entertaining waste of time, at least.

But basically what everyone else has said... deal with anything in close and small unless you're a dirty drone-loving talos-user, at least not as well as almost anything else would do.
