==Summary==
== Summary ==
The '''Typhoon''' is one of the two Minmatar attack battleships, and is bonused for missiles.  
The '''Typhoon''' (or "Phoon") is the missile-focused Minmatar Tech 1 battleship. For a Tech 1 battleship, it is especially fast and has a small signature radius. Due to its 5 mid / 7 low slot layout, it is often armour tanked.


In many ways the Typhoon serves as a counterpart to the Caldari [[Raven]]: both are missile battleships with 6 launchers and a rate-of-fire bonus. However, the two differ in two important aspects. First, the Typhoon is usually armor-tanked, due to its extra low slots, while the Raven is usually shield-tanked. And second, where the Raven has a bonus to missile range, the Typhoon has a bonus to missile damage application.
The Typhoon can be used in big PvP fleets, where it usually carries cruise missiles. In this role, it competes with cruise missile fitted [[Raven]]s. While the Raven has a range bonus, unbonused faction cruise missiles already have a range of nearly 150 km, which can be raised to about 180 km with a guidance computer, and this is enough range for many scenarios. As the mid slots are not filled with tanking modules, they can be used for various utilities such as target painters or other [[EWAR]]. Due to the Typhoon’s good speed and small signature radius, it also has a good chance of dissipating incoming damage from capitals, especially if mounting a signature radius suppressor.


This makes the Raven more favored for long-range missile sniping, while the Typhoon is more favored for closer-range brawling with Rapid Heavys or Torpedoes, aided by its generous 5-slot mid rack and 100MBit Drone Bandwidth. That said, a Typhoon can still combine Cruise Missiles and 4 Sentry Drones for significant long-range DPS.
In solo or small gang PvP, the Typhoon can bring substantial DPS, and its mid slots comfortably allow for tackle modules and webs. In these contexts, the Typhoon often brawls with torpedoes, which benefit greatly from its damage application bonus. Due to its speed, the Typhoon is also one of the few Tech 1 battleships which can realistically kite.


The Typhoon also has an unusually high speed (for a battleship). With high character skills and fitted for speed, it can MWD at about 1.5km/s; with drugs, expensive implants, and the right [[Command Bursts]] from fleet-members, this speed can rise above 2km/s, or above 3km/s with [[Overheating|heat]]. Among well-resourced players it sees niche use as an extremely fast small-gang battleship.
The Typhoon can also be used in PvE. It does well in Level 4 missions due to the selectable damage types of missiles, and its typical armour tank has naturally high EM/thermal resists, suiting it to DED sites with a lot of incoming EM/thermal damage. However, it lacks the clear progression to a better ship that the Raven has, because the Minmatar marauder, the [[Vargur]], uses turrets.

''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Typhoon for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''


==Tactics==
As a battleship, the Typhoon deserves good [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]], and the ability to fit a full Tech 2 tank. For PvP, pilots will also want Tech 2 missiles. Missile support skills are obviously important to the hull, with {{sk|Target Navigation Prediction}} and {{sk|Guided Missile Precision}} letting pilots get even more out of the ship's bonus for missile damage application.

==Patch History==
Despite the ship description's emphasis on versatility and the ship's 6 turret hardpoints, the Typhoon should not be fitted as a primarily turret-using battleship, as it lacks turret bonuses.
