yeah, so I guess everyone likes the new tier 3's. My core is the target of almost daily hq blobfests, and yesterday we got hit by a blob of over 50 tier 3 bc's with minimal logi support. The good news is they're pretty easy to pop.... bad news is they rick-roll untill you pop them.

I started flying a 'nado myself, and it's alot of fun. Anyone else sold on the new ships?

They are cool, but they are dumb to the concept of the game they are trying build, which is smaller ships sig and speed tank larger ships ect ect. With the tier3's they are just another glass cannon that everyone will be flying, and it doesn't at all help proper fleet composition. Tornados pretty much just replaced hurricanes as the major welpfleet ship.

yeah, my alliance is still alpha fleeting maels but the smaller more mobile fleets are mostly shield bc's. just had my first nado popped and i'm thinking i'll stick with 'canes for bc raoms for now....

I like mine so far, though as you said, the are glass cannons. They do a sick amount of dps, and they are pretty epic in a fleet with recons and other dps.

they definitely have their uses, and are fun to fly. Guess I just don't have much use for one at the moment. Hopefully I'll get a good reason to fly one again. I only flew the one because I wanted to try it out in actual pvp, and I'm sure I'll fly another at some point but right now they are targeted just on general principal. Mine got popped in a pretty big fight. we smoked them but EVERY tier 3 on our side got popped. They might have had a chance if they didn't fixate on the new bc's and treated it like every other fleet op.... oh well, it was fun none the less....

The new T3 BC's have any use in lvl4 and lvl5? Or too big of a glass cannon?

you could easily run them well in l5's if you have someone tanking the room... they're pretty mobile and have good dps. not sure i'd try soloing any l4's in one. I'm sure it's doable but at 65 million for the hull, then the fitting I'd rather run a bs or tengu for those...
