The Griffin Navy Issue represents a new experiment in close-range tactics from the Caldari Navy. Combining deadly hybrid weapon systems with electronic countermeasure systems optimized for short range combat has allowed the Griffin Navy Issue to surprise hostile forces with uncharacteristically aggressive tactics.

Summary

The Griffin Navy Issue is a Electronic Counter Measure frigate. Compared to the standard Griffin the Griffin Navy Issue has a significant buff to hull, armor and shield points; along with extra powergrid and almost twice the capacitor. The Griffin Navy Issue also has a higher increase in jam strength per level of Caldari frigate and a damage bonus to hybrid turret; which is reflected in swapping one of the launcher high slots for a turret high slot. The -85% role reduction to ECM Jammer activation cost means that jammers actually use less cap than a pilot with lvl 5 Caldari Frigate in the standard frigate.

This does come at a cost though with the major negative of the Griffin Navy Issue being its' secondary role bonus of -85% penalty to ECM optimal range and falloff. This means the Griffin Navy Issue can't pull off the standard Griffin tactic of staying at long range while jamming enemy ships. Instead the Griffin Navy Issue is envisioned as a close in brawler utilizing blasters with the jammers used to mitigate enemy ships. The extra capacitor and decrease in jamming costs also gives the ability to fit tackle and propulsion mods while remaining somewhat cap stable (depending on capacitor skills).

Considering the cost of the Griffin Navy Issue and the complexity of jamming tactics (knowing which ships to jam and when) it is suggested that new players experiment with the standard Griffin until they have built up both their character and game skills before attempting to fly the Griffin Navy Issue.

Skills

These skills will improve your EWAR effectiveness when flying a Griffin.

  • Caldari Frigate - Skills for the specific types of ship you are flying will give you the greatest improvement in ECM effectiveness: 20% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per level. Requires Spaceship Command I.
  • Long Range Targeting - 5% Bonus to targeting range per skill level. Requires CPU Management Level 2.
  • Frequency Modulation - Increases the falloff distance of your ECM modules by 10% per level. Requires CPU Management Level 3 and Electronics Warfare Level 2.
  • Long Distance Jamming - Increases the optimal range of your ECM modules by 10% per level. Requires CPU Management Level 4 and Electronics Warfare Level 3.
  • Signal Dispersion - Increases your jam strength by 5% per level. This skill requires CPU Management 5 and Electronic Warfare Level 4. If you have decided that you really enjoy being an EWAR pilot this is a great skill to work towards, but it certainly isn't required to have fun flying ECM in fleets.

See the EWAR Guide and ECM Guide articles for more information.

Tactics

This article should be cleaned up or improved.
The reason is: changes to addition of combat capability

PvE - Not recommended as the Griffin has very little offensive capability.
PvP - Solo

  • Practise at the Libold frigate arena Frig FFA, which is only 2 jumps from Aldrat. See how long you can last against other frigates! Use your long range to your advantage,target your opponent, colour match your jammer and activate as soon as they are in range. The non-matching jammers have a lower chance of achieving a jam but fire them off one a time until you get a jam or are vaporised. See how much more effective the right racial jammer module is against your opponent. Once engaged, practise aligning to a celestial so that you can warp out if your jam fails.
  • Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hangar at the Uni home station, PTS, Aldrat.

PvP - Fleet

  • You have the advantage of speed and being a small target so align to a celestial when an engagement starts, lock targets within your optimal range and colour match your jammers to the targets as best you can. Warp as soon as you are yellow-boxed (someone starts locking you) and drop a bookmark on the way out so that you have a location to warp back to or warp back to your designated squad anchor.

More information on tactics and matching jammers to targets is at ECM Guide
