SO in each regard (PvP and PvE), what is the best for HAM's; two webs, or a web and a TP, or hell, two TP's?

I have an alt who flies a tengu for vaious things in PvE, and currently it is HAM fitted with a TP and a Web, although I seem to think dual web is the way to go.

I intend on getting her into some casual pvp too, so was wandering what the best thing to fit was?

Thanks x

Damage: Webs > Target Painter.
Utility: Webs > Target Painter.

Webs definitely for PVP. I can't speak to PVE since I don't really to any (Though I did lose many a raven to lvl 4s when i started :P!)

Webs slow down you target which increases the DPS from your HAMs, way more important though is that webs slow down your target...allowing you to actually remain in HAM range...which is pitiful (practically ~17km at most). TPs let that nano-cane burn out of your HAM range right quick...

If you are going to stay with the hams, webs for sure! I think you may be better off with Heavy Missiles. with hams you have be close which puts you at the risk of being neuted, jammed tackled etc. Heavy missiles you can dictate the range more. all depends what you alt is in too. put alt in nano tackling drake then unload the tengu fury from 60ish!

Well with a HAM tengu you have a +/- 30km HAM range, not to mention an mwd ;)

But yeah, just confirms what I thought about webs being optimal

I assume this tengu is for PVE.

Please don't take a HAM tengu into PvP unless you have a healthy fleet with you...and even then, don't do that. Cerb will do just as well in the role. Tengus in pvp should have a 100mn AB ... also I h8 100MN AB tengus :P
