I tried to do level 4 fw missions in a manticore with gallente against caldari and I was receiving too much damage in 700 m/s with manticore in many angles and distances.I tried with many fits until I was able to go at 60 km and shoot torpedoes at enemy commander to finish the mission with no result.Also in all missions while i was going there stealthy from the acceleration gate I always appeared and npcs shooted at me.

Is it possible to do them in manticore or i must try a covert ops tengu?

You can do the missions using a caracal, with HMLs fit for range. Its quite easy. CHoose blitzable missions only (Check DaOpas database). Caracal is cheaper, will have better on target DPS, and has more tank, and range. No need to use the manti.

I have experience do this, as i was a 'farmer pig' mentioned in a mittani article about a group of players who blitzed FW missions, back when you were making 1bil+ an hour when T5 hit. We used caracals / Navy caracals at the time.

Blitzing themisisons in this manner is still possible, however the ISk/ HR is no longer nearly that much

gallente missions cant be done in a stealth bomber for 2 reasons

1. missiles always hit
2. ecm is a ***** and youll end up jammed most of the time

also caracal would struggle in gallente mission too for same reasons our missions are so outa balance with the rest of the factions thats why we dont get as many farmers or null entitys joining us for free meal tickets

i use a cov tengu with hmls and 2 eccms even with over 100 sensor strength u still get jammed but a cycle of heat will sort that out and carry plenty of nanite paste with ya

if you do commander kill missions sentry ishtar is valid choice. go in, lock commander, drop sentries, tell sentries to attack commander, wait until it pop , scoop drones warp away.

if you do it fast enough you can target commander and give order before you will get jammed.
