Mach pilots do you use implants?

I have missile implants just wondering if they will make a huge difference. I have the LP for the 5s but just wondering if it is worth it? I mean yeah on paper it is obvious but just wondering real game experience if you seen a need for them?

Hits hard as hell as it is but still juggling ammo, I have a cargo full of ammo haha not use to all the different types. Do you use a general all around ammo? I run mostly Caldair space so lots of Gurista and throw in the rest of the ilk I guess what 30% EM rats maybe less but close. Lots of Mercs to with thermal.

It's up to you, if all you do is mission then yea it's probably worth it, if you mission here and there and do other stuff in the other times you'd probably be better off with some +5's

My Mach clone uses a CX-2 (+5% all turret damage) and LX-1 (+3% to projectile damage.) IMO, you don't need falloff or tracking implants.

In case you are asking about hardwires, why wouldn't you use them? High sec gankers won't gank you for your pod, due to them not being able to scan it and get drops from it. So why not invest in your pod instead of mods which might get you ganked some day?

On my mission characters I also use the turret implants.

Depends, is 10% more dps worth 300M isk to you? It is to me, hence all my gunboat clones have them. The falloff and tracking implants are of debatable value, some of my clones have them while others do not.

Definitely use them. As a Mach pilot you will fight mostly in falloff, so I'd use 5% damage to all, 5% dmg to large projectile and 5% to falloff implants. This is over 10% effective dmg increase and not that expensive compared to the performance increase. My Vargur clone has them and it is noticeable.
