Much praised by its proponents and much maligned by its detractors, the Typhoon-class battleship has always been one of the most hotly debated spacefaring vessels around. Its distinguishing aspect - and the source of most of the controversy - is its sheer versatility, variously seen as either a lack of design focus or a deliberate freedom for pilot modification.

Summary
The Typhoon (or Phoon) is the Minmatar T1 battleship, which is missile focused. It is especially fast and has a small signature radius for a T1 battleship. Due to its slot layout it’s often armor tanked, further it’s a very flexible hull.
It can be used in big fleets where it is usually fitted with cruise missiles. In this case it directly competes with cruise missile fitted Ravens. While the Ravens have a range bonus, unbonused faction cruise missiles already have a range of nearly 150 km and with a guidance computer with range script this goes up to 180 km, 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 radius it also has better chances to dissipate incoming damage from capitals, especially if you fit a signature radius suppressor.
If used solo or small gang, the good number of mid slots comfortably allow for tackle modules and webs. In such a case torpedoes might be fitted and the application bonus of the Typhoon helps a lot. Due to its speed it’s also one of the few T1 battleships which can realistically do a kiting approach. In that case the Typhoon can provide some good DPS in a small gang.
The Typhoon can also be used in PvE. It does well in level four missions due to the selectable damage types of missiles. Or in DED sites with a lot of incoming EM/thermal damage due to its armor tank and resist profile. But it lacks the clear progression to a better ship which the Raven has.
