Quick Q, do gate guns have the same trouble tracking smaller ships as larger ships do? Specifically if you decloak in a bomber and unload torps on someone at a gate, will the gate guns be able to track you fast enough to pop your stealth bomber?
thanks for the help

This, the guns won't be able to lock you fast enough. -

If you officer fit your bomber then the turrets will not be able to hit you.

What the above guy has said may be true. Or if you have about 10 frigates, you stand more of a chance as hopegully the OTHER guys get instapopped before you do

I forgot to mention that it only works if you fill your bomber's free cargo space with PLEXes and/or other highly valuable items.

Don't listen to these guys trying to get you killed. You will need a ship that is fast enough to dodge the gate gun tracking. I suggest a dramiel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come shoot at me, I live in Heimatar. Please? |

Hello Marukesh,
We don't believe there's any risk to divulging information about sentry guns used to defend key locations in New Eden. You cannot beat the tracking of these guns for very simply reasons:
1. They're fast. Faster than you.
2. Even if you were faster, they're placed a distance away from each other so that the tracking/accuracy improves on the other 1 -> 7 guns due to you being unable to gain the same transversal velocity on all sentry guns.
I hope this has been helpful,
Concord Protection

dramiels are the only ship in EVE iirc with the speed and sig to dodge sentry fire
it helps if you remove any shield extenders you might have fitted as they will only boost your sig and you'll go boom
also fit nanos, they alter your structure HP which helps you too. a positive side effect is they make you even more faster and agile, so win win.
you must also fly in a figure-8 pattern as to maximize transversal with the guns

If you pre-align you can pull this off depending on the ship type your trying to kill.If you mess up by any margin though you will insta die though. Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Adida |

At least according to the data dump their tracking is kind of meh and should be tankable.

Range/tracking are as far as I know determined from their gate and not the guns' location, much like most POS sentries.
They will still kill you, though, because gate guns fit T2 Devhax.

I have done this a few times and always escaped unscathed (so far). Just make sure that you are aligned and very close to the target. Lock, launch, and hit the warp button. As long as you are on grid - even if you're in warp - the torps will hit and cause damage.
