PvP Vulture, still viable 1v1 ship?

[Hellfire85]

So might know it, some might not, I fly mostly Vulture.

PvP and PvE.

With the introduction of the newest Alliance ships, there is even more of a gap when it comes to gear.

I know that in wing fights (ganks) a bunch of Vultures does the trick, as long as the wings are equally numbered or the Vultures are one or 2 more it's a rather guaranteed victory (if the pilots are worth anything)

But in 1v1, especially since 3.0 I noticed that it's way harder to score a kill on a medium ship...

What has changed? Or is it just that my double Pacifier bi-weave build needs a serious overhaul?

Easy, The vulture is one of the
King's of 1v1s, simply because it can out turn everything and glue itself to the rear end of anything, I'd recommend a tlb rapid fire apa (pre 3.0 would be optimal if you got it) and a ln overcharged pa with phasing, odds are you can pop fdls before thier shields go, especially if they choose banks over hull. Beast of a wee ship the vulture

Dont know much about pvp because "new" punishment system ruin it for me. As i know, google some OP experimental effect builds and you are fine.

You can use everything in PvE, vulture has very good cost/fire power ratio. And as i know Vulture is small ship not medium.

Yes, Vulture is a wonderful ship. But the newest Alliance ships turn faster in FA-off but drift more so it's not that easy to stay on the tail of those.

Been flying it for over 1000h now, but recently, I start to feel how the gap widens among the different ships and PvP builds.

I guess it's time to consider ganks the modus operandi for Vulture pilots lol

Half of the dudes in my pvp wing fly vultures and they melt faces with em. I rebought and built a vulture specifically for pvp because of how effective my boys are with em.

What builds they run?

OP, maybe you’re just getting old and your reflexes are slowing [big grin]


Seriously though, hasn’t the vulture always been a bit underpowered? I thought that was basically the point from the CMDRs that fly them... it’s like showing that FDL pilot that he may have a bigger, nastier ship, but you’re a better pilot because you can beat him with just 2 hardpoints.
