depite what u think about it increasing dmg it doesnt.
all it is allowing u to do is get more dmg potential out or ur torps limited to ur max dmg potential. ur dps doesnt go up. ur dps is down due to resistances and with target painters making the target larger ur able to gain back some of the loss dmg. end result u do a little more dmg because ur target is bigger... not increasing ur dps but helping it get to ur max dmg potntial. again i say this..... U R A MORON
I can't make it more easier then this lol...
We were shooting the bunkey yesterday, I was in my manticore.
I shot the bunker first, nobody was there yet, didn't activate my target painters yet.
1100dmg
Rest of the fleet came in, we all activated our target painters ( about 30? 5 is max i think rest doesn't stack )
2000dmg
2000/1100x100% = 181% damage increase
8 second cycle:
2000dmg/8s= 140dps
1100dmg/8s= 250dps
250dps/140dpsx100% = again 181% dps increase
I know this is what you mean:
I was shooting a raven with 0% explosion resist and max size ( because he was fully rigged and had large shield extenders, 5k dmg, target painters won't increase this amount because it's the best my torps can do. )
Still I only fit target painters to help my whole fleet target the enemy faster ( especially for the slow targeting ships ) + to help them increase their damage against ships smaller then their guns/missiles sig/explosion radius. I always look at the EFT damage graph and it shows it helps alot, even more then a BCU!
PS: They really should fix the desync... Yesterday:
http://killboard.caldarimilitia.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=117457, couldn't target anything, couldn't move, couldn't activate my modules, couldn't hear anyone on eve voice.... Enemy had the same problem, it showed I got on a myrmidon kill but thats it, didn't even see that I targeted it... Oyeah, they had more people then us but they split up badly and they died so fast that they told them not to come and help them or they would've died too... ( said our spy
