Thorax: Difference between revisions

Line 339:

Even though Thorax is usally a gunboat, drones can be a good part of your DPS, they have a good range(more than 25km), better accuracy on small targets, and they are not affected by ewar usually, so always remember to launch the drones in battle.

~~At last, hybrid~~ turrets can change ~~ammos~~ in a short time, if you are using T2 medium blasters, bring a round ~~full~~(400 for neutron, 600 for ion, 1000 for electron) of Null M charges with you just in case(they could be quite useful in OGC-like situations).

Hybrid turrets can change ammo in a short time, if you are using T2 medium blasters, bring a full round(400 for neutron, 600 for ion, 1000 for electron) of Null M charges with you just in case(they could be quite useful in OGC-like situations).

Another key to using the Thorax, especially if your are in a high dps short range blaster fit, is positioning. Even with an MWD, you are not going to catch anything smaller than you, MWD Frigates, Inties, Assault Frigs etc. (unless your enemy has failfit or they happen to jump into you while you're camping a gate), so DO NOT give chase if they're more than 40km away and waste your precious cap. Let your gang/fleet's tackle do their job, even should they chase an enemy 90+ kilometers away from you. Turn your boat 180 and burn in the opposite direction of the chase with your MWD. As soon as they hit 150+km distance from your ship, you can warp to your own tackle bro and land right on top of the enemy guns blazing. It seems so simple and obvious on paper, but as a newbro you are going to find it difficult to avoid tunnel vision and bull rushing eagerly into battle. Fighting Cruisers or bigger with the Thorax is more straight forward, get to your Optimal and blast away. Make sure to keep transversal to battleships high so those big guns can't track you.
