Wormholes

FAIL !!

Is that critical enough?


Edit: Just kidding... I'm no tengu expert but i think you need to take a bigger hit. Maybe you need a shield extender or the sub system that gives you better res. Also i would only fit 3 BCU max

Also, why no rigs and no propulsion mod? (eft is your friend)

LOL. Forgot about the rigs which are fitted. I'm at work so I am going off of my memory. I don't have access to EFT atm. My rigs were;

Warhead Catalyst
Warhead Rigor
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit

Rek- I don't need a prop mod because I simply just align to a celestial and the rats can still burn towards me while I missle spam them. Others have done the same. It would take me another 10 days to train T2 Boost amplifier so I'm using T1 atm thinking it was enough. Obviously not.

But going off what you are saying, do you believe the cap regen sub, EM shield and a T2 amplifier is enough?

That fit is just terribad. It also doesn't seem to work. You mention the aug cap sub, which would give up I 6 launcher slots. But later you mention the cap regen sub.

The basic problem is with that setup, for the cost, it is barely better than a drake, which would be much more isk efficient. I have also not found a target painter to be all that necessary for C3 sites. And you have a huge em hole. Sleepers do omni damage.

Do you have to pimp a tengu? No. But it does help. When you are risking an expensive ship, plus skill point loss if you get ganked, you really have to decide if your tengu is sufficiently better then say a drake to outweigh those risks. Usually a little pimp can help make that difference.

Here was my fit for C3 sites, which made me tons of easy isk. Typically I ran two of these and a third account in a cloaky scout watching the WH and a deep space probe out watching for new Sigs and ships. But I have also run sites solo in this fit. I've never had to warp out of any anom sites.

As others have mentioned this fit needs an overhaul.

But what you should really consider adding is a prop module (even an experimental afterburner 10mn would help). The tanking ability of Tech3 cruisers comes from their high resists, low sig radius and their ability to speed tank.

Neglecting an afterburner in your fit significantly reduces your speed tank ability.

Also, without having trained defensive subsystem to 5, your tank suffers.

+1 this bit - tho if he has the basic skills for a tengu he "should" be able to manage a drake in a C3 fine.

As mentioned above its not even worth flying a T3 without the defensive and offensive sub-systems to V and the rest to atleast IV - which doesn't take very long.

I reccomend the deadspace small shield boosters if the price hasn't gone up too much (been awhile since I used a tengu for C3s) as they take hardly any capacitor to run and are comparable to standard medium shield boosters - with the right fit you can tank C3 sites fine.

Personally I'm of the opinion you don't use a tengu for C3 sites unless your going to spend a fair bit of ISK pimping them out for the ~840dps fit (which is worth 2 of any drake) otherwise using a drake is hardly any slower than a standard tengu fit and can be replaced with a couple of sites or so worth of salvage.

PS your tengu fit is barely boosting 270dps with good skills and has hardly any EHP - for C3 sites and an active tank (rather than passive regen w/ big EHP) you need more like double that tank for C3 sites and with that low EHP probably need a prop mod to reduce alpha from the battleships. Personally I think a prop mod is a wasted slot on a C3 tengu - it would be better used to apply damage more effectively so you can get in and out as quickly as possible (web, tp, etc.).
