Ships & Modules

Who said anything about 20km? Once again proved you don't know this ship. The boosted point range of the faction point is just under 80km and you should be aiming to be around 60-70km away, this ensures your threats are only limited to sniping ships which you can counter by damping. The scram is purely defensive, you NEVER want to be that close in an arazu if you can help it. If you're taking damage in the first arazu, you're doing it wrong.

The AB on the second arazu as the anti-kiting fit means you can speed tank a little bit combined with the low sig provided by no shields. If you're that worried about drones against a kiting fleet (lol) you can put smartbombs on it.

fine, then use a regular scram. It's far besides the point though

Basically, for a kiting gang I prefer the Lachesis. It has an extra midslot, and is a bit faster which will help you stay alive longer. The Lach also applies a bit more DPS at range due to the ability to use heavy missiles and fit drone range augmentors, so the lach can basically kill tackle better than the Arazu since scrams + nanofleet typically = death.

Armor fleets and BLOPS fleets are where the Arazu shines, due to it's ability to armor tank and light covert cynos. Due to the armor tank, you can fit damps or more points/scrams depending on the situation. If you're going against a longer range gang, fit damps to make them have to come in closer or to damp our ECM/logi.

But if you're coming to this thread to find a fit, use Cameron's or Tsukino's.

Whatever. The point of the post is the fit. This is a pilot who flies Arazus regularly and has for many years. It's DNS, so obviously its fit for a drop. OP wants a fit, and I can't think of any pilot who flies them as much as this one.

Snorkeling.

Do not be sorry. You just called yourself out. Nobody stops you from fitting more expensive gear, unless you need a cookie cutter for it. You still have not explained how you are going to hold point for more than 5 minutes. I am still curious what your excuse for this is. I believe I wrote one can take the launcher off and fit a cloak. You however fit yours without dampeners and then pride yourself with a bigger tank. You really are the cleverest here.

All that cap that you see lets it fly with MWD, hold point, dampen and shoot its target fully cap stable, meaning, for as long as it takes.

And soloing with a single Howitzer and 4 Warrior IIs - I am out of words. You win and I bow before you. You are the better of us. I could not solo with that.

Yes, it has got a strong bonus to it. Otherwise is the Proteus better.

Sure it can kite. It is maybe 500m/s slower on MWD, but with a far better tank and damage. The Arazu needs its long range, because it would otherwise only die. The slightly shorter point range is irrelevant. Then add covert and nullifier subsystem to it and it is all round the better recon.

You mentioned it and you still have not explained your fitting.

I guess your idea is to sit as far away from the fight as you can, let your mates do the job, suck on the killmail and fly off after 5 minutes.

ITT Bads who havent realised damps are **** in gangs.
