I actually really enjoy running Sting. I used them with Tridents on my Natasha since they have the same range and same 3 second reload once the Trident salvo is emptied. It also lets you lead your rockets without worry because the Sting locks on to the target itself meaning the majority of the shots still hit.

I am building a Blitz but currently I'm running x4 Sting on a Patton for fun in my ranged hanger. Have noticed a good improvement on damage near max range thanks to the accuracy buff. Even at level 9 they deal just shy of 30k per cycle (29862) after DoT with a basic damage booster on and 0 pilot skills....30k every 3 seconds from 550-600m is not bad whatsoever. The initial gold cost is pretty high but overall the silver cost to upgrade is cheap compared to the other premium weapons....I could max mk2 a Sting and still cost 50mil less than getting a single premium weapon to mk1 lvl 12.

Overall I really enjoy this weapon and even though it is built as a mid range support weapon I feel like it can be decent as a hit and run weapon at closer ranges due to the short unload/reload and the burst potential.
