Ships & Modules

So here is a general question.

So far I'm fully skilled in T3 ship legion.
Armor is excellent and dps is decent.

However I came to notice with one of my mates that fly's a
A protues and I can tell you he has great amount of dps
And armor. For sure a hard nut to crack. The guy fights 1v5
And most fly away from him because they can't destroy him.
He is a 2012 char with of course slave set that makes a difference
But really is the protues number 1 pvp ship of all T3's?

Should I be looking to skill for it?
Can anyone give me the pros and cons of all T3 cruisers?

1v5 is damn good to me in my books with full confidence in his ability
And ship he is flying. So is it because the protues a real gods creation
In eve? Or am I missing something?

Ok, I'll bite on this one. This reddit is packed with informational goodness. Most of the research I've found puts Tengu generally in first place, followed by Loki and Proteus tied for second, but then there's always the question of what you want to use it for.

Proteus has the reputation to be thin-skinned, at least by comparison to the Tengu. Most of what I'm reading simply says pass the Legion by - that it's not only in last place, but last place by far for many reasons. Less DPS, capacitor problems, lack of "oh, wow!" subsystems, etc.

Lastly, T3 cruisers are the real deal. The steep training curve is well worth it. They're awesome!

I really hate it when people post "WAT x IS GUD"

It's all subjective, ******* figure it out yourself.

The proteus will out dps all t3s within 5km, so a good question for you is what are your typical engagement ranges? Having 900 dps at 5+5 is worth squat if your target is sitting at 20km. I have been flying the legion for a while now and the choice of instantaneous range dictation is worth a lot more than you would think. 500 dps at 34+5 will likely be more useful in a lot of situations. The legion is an excellent fleet ship and can field nearly as much ehp as a proteus with an extra mid slot for utility. As you are asking the state of affairs in 1.1 the rail proteus is a good contender now. 700 dps at 20km optimal is quite good as long as you maintain a low transversal. It all comes down to what kind of pvp you take part in and what your typical enemy flies.

Proteus, hands down. A bait/drone bunny Proteus can reach more than a million EHP.

If you like scorch, you should love beams. Trading ~40% tracking for 30% dps :>
And the ability to shoot recons/logi out to 120km.

Thanks a bunch everyone for your feed backs on T3's

I guess they are all good in many ways by the feed back im getting.

Generally its what u do with it right? And how u fit the **** will
Give you your satisfaction...

I will be training them all so when the time comes I'll know which one is best to use
for gang fleet/solo pvp/ pirating/ pve.

again thank you all for your feedback on T3's

Fly safe

If you call 700 DPS with 200s bad yeah they suck.

They do still track like crap though, so its takes stars aligning to get real damage out of them, and its pretty tricky to get fit without becoming REALLY expensive.
