The Tornado is a popular gatecamping ship. Dual-boxing a Tornado and an [[Exequror]] for both remote repair and, more importantly, remote sensor boost (to boost the Tornado's scan resolution and lock time) is one of the most common setups for a single-player gatecamp.

The high alpha potential of the Tornado makes it extremely popular for [[suicide ganking]]. Because an artillery Tornado does extremely high damage with a long cycle time, the response speed of CONCORD does not affect how much damage it will do, and it can easily one-shot many ships.
The high alpha potential of the Tornado makes it extremely popular for [[suicide ganking]]. Because an artillery Tornado does extremely high damage with a long cycle time, the response speed of CONCORD does not affect how much damage it will do. When fit purely for alpha damage, it can deal over 12K damage per shot, which is easily enough to one-shot many ships.


The Tornado can also be used as a very long-range sniping ship in large-scale fleet engagements. It is cheaper and less character skill intensive than the Maelstrom, making it a more accessible tool for alliances with newer pilots.
