On a ship with no bonus to range, nor using any range rigs....?

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

No implants, no rigs, no bonuses, all 5s, EFT gives me 30.4km for Javelin torps.

You need to train Missile Bombardment and Missile Projection.

Torpedos tend to suck now compared to other races weapons and cruise missiles......thats a mockery all its own

Unless your target is bigger than a BS you are wasting ammo using torpedos.

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

Please Note: Any advice given comes with the caveat that nothing will be suitable for every situation.

4s generally have as many, if not more, frig and cruisers sized ships as they do bc/bs so torps are a waste even with multiple target painters. Stick to cruise missiles if you want to use a battleship for them. Use warhead rigor catalysts and train up guided missile precision and target navigation prediction to 4 minimum, 5 is really what you want them at though.

Yes. A 'phoon is a great ship but torp fits on one are pretty much out for PvE. You can't apply damage and you can't project damage, both of which are often bigger concerns than raw DPS. Cruise/arty/sentry fits are somewhat more viable but it's still hard mode like all get out.

Torps are fine. BS's full damage, BC's with any for of sig nerf (extenders, MWD) full damge. Cruisers with 2 TP's/extenders, full damage.

Get out of the mission running hub and into the 3x BCS torp raven and BOOM - game over mister megathron.

But most of the EHP will be contained within those BS.

Pretty much this, a well flown/fit Torp or Cruise Raven in gang with logis is an absolute BC/BS assassin.
