RLML useless now?

Was wondering are the RLML gonna be useless for small gang/solo PvP? and if so would it be better to go with HML or HAM? And would be fitted on a Tengu or a Cerberus. Thanks

It will still be good if the fight lasts shorter than 1 reload worth of missiles (unlikely) or else you'd be better off with HAM/HM.

Depends on the whether your target is going to catch remote reps, or you think you can burn through the reps before needing to reload. Front loaded damage could be very useful against enemies with logi.

The meta will surely adjust. I know some Caracal doctrines already called for a mix of HAM and RLM fits; it'll just take a little time to tweak tactics to account for the new Katyusha-style RLML's.

Here's a HAM strategy for you - Huginn and Cerb.

Could someone post a HAM tengu fit that's for small gang/solo? Having trouble fitting a 100mn since have to put a reactor control which gimps either agility or damage. And I'm guessing it has to be buffer since the weapons and 100mn take too much PG?

LML Hawk does more dps than a RLML Caracal

LML Cerberus does more dps than a RLML Cerberus

20% less sustained DPS on Caracals.

Unable to switch damage types

Increased PGU on RLML Launchers.

RLMLs are worthless now, say bye and we will miss them. I have been going over a REAL way to fix them, but I got to it too late, sorry.

RLML Caracal/Cerb combined with the Hyena will be a popular choice due to fast travel and both web/TPing from one support ship. Murder frigs in seconds.

Having Hyena at my side I'd rather use HAM's with faction missiles (almost 50 km). That way I can fight other ships too, not just frigates. I could be wrong though.
