Battlecruisers were absolutely fine with "not being different enough" a couple of years ago.
The thing they most urgently need is for bombs to be nerfed.
The next thing is for the ridiculous HML nerf to be reverted. The basis for this in the first place was pretty shaky; with the long range medium turrets getting a fat buff almost straight after, whatever grounds there were for this ill conceived change were completely removed.
The final thing is they need a little more warp speed to make them perceptibly more mobile than BS.

Drake's kinetic damage bonus is stupid, CCP please get rid of all these one damage type bonuses... Atleast the gila/rattle/worm has a kin/therm bonus
Apparently making Caldari missile ships do eff all damage unless they shoot kinetic ammo makes them "interesting".
Oddly enough, the same increase in interestingness doesn't seem to work with Amarr missile boats only getting a damage bonus to EM missiles or Gallente missile boats only getting a damage bonus to Thermal missiles. For non-Caldari missile platforms, it seems that RoF and application bonuses are needed to get the girls.

Yeah their outsized sig is an issue - they're barely smaller than the attack battleships, but with 1/2 to 1/3 of the EHP.

Let me spell it out for you, again.
If you want more damage from HML you'll have to agree to less range
and:
Using a drake to show imbalances is pretty lol if you "forget" to mention its EHP
Yeah well maybe if there was a range:damage tradeoff for missiles like there is for turret ammo, that would be a lot easier to make direct comparisons like that. Perhaps instead we should ask CCP to build in some compensating disadvantage for HMLs like ****** damage application for fast targets regardless of transversal, or giving the target a chance to warp out before they even hit, or letting cheap small faction smartbombs kill them, or even making it so that you can just bloody outrun them.
OK I used my CSM-Surplus Time Machine to go back in time and add in all those balancing factors.
Now
we
can
talk
about
it
like
grown
ups.

You're talking about a drone meta, did you notice that almost nobody exept ishtar and domi keep using sentry ?
Ya it is bad with heavy drones. My Cruiser can kite them taking no damage looool. Come on guy, you want to talk about Ishtars all night or why BC's are such ****. Or maybe deep down inside you want to talk about how Sentry Drones are completely out of line with other drones, and make relatively garbage ships like the Ishtar OP!. Would you like to borrow a shovel for your next post? So the fact that an ishtar, a cruiser, uses a full 5 heavy drones or sentries which are balanced for use on battleships, with bonuses on par with battleships and thus projection and DPS on par with battleships...
Drones don't work that way.
