Crow Pilots couple of questions? =))

Hi All-

I have a Crow account up to like 3.1m skillpoints. I have MWD, Tech 2 Standard Missle Launchers (not missles yet). and then missle support skills to 3 at least. This is a newer account, and I am not familiar with Caldari stuff more then what I have seen or read so I had a few questions:

1) I have read that a lot of crow pilots like to use a SAR, and plate in the low to keep their medium slots fit with MWD / Web / WS or MWD and 2 WS. What do you fly with?

2) This really isnt an advice question, but more of a I am interested in what you have tried and what works for YOU. For ME I like to keep at 15k range, with speed and use the T.Velocity. to be my defense instead of getting in close where I can get the beat down by the ol smart bombs

3) Do you use tech 2 launchers AND tech 2 missles? I read somewhere and I can not find the link (I thought it was in the ship setups sticky on eve-o) that most people use tech 2 launchers but forgo the missles. If so why is this?

thanks all if you have any input.

(and I will be fitting WCS RITE?!)
 
i don't fly a crow but I can answer the missile question

The high damage ones cut your cap recharge almost in half. This could mean death to an inty pilot

The high precision ones reduce your speed, which is also bad for an inty pilot.

I hate flying intys but if I need to fly one I'm in a taranis. Yeah, crows can eat me alive as I use blasters.

cool thanks Vlas. I was curious what the difference was. I like the crow, last night before I had finished my MWD training I was getting up to about 1000m/s on my crow using standard ab.

My Retrobution af goes 1100 with MWD and has one med slot. man I hate amarr af's.

I was under the impression that the taranis is king of the interceptors.

it is if you're talking skirmish combat against bigger ships.

inty vs inty I'd never go up against a crow, and certainly not with my current skillset.

a lot of taranis pilots can simply outrun light missiles, but I can't. Not yet, anyway.
 
T2 ammo doesn't work well on Intys because of the penalties. Save that stuff for AFs. The cap is a precious commodity, so you fit for tackling, then for cap, then for damage, depending on your role, but most of the time, your primary objective is tackling while the damage dealers kill the target. Being able to sustain 2 -1 scrams or 1 -2 scram and a web long enough for the target to go down can be tricky.
 
I use tech 2 with regular ammo on my ratting ferox just for the rate of fire bonus with specialization, gets enough dps to handle the bships.

Yeah, the only one I've found to be worth a damn is the Null blaster ammo, as it has no drawbacks. It also allows me to then do decent damage while keeping out of smartbomb range.
