EVE:Armageddon
From Basin Wiki
Amarr's most damaging battleship. Also their best sniper. It can also tank missions, tho I don't have a fit I really like for that yet.

Commentary
The Armageddon is CPU constrained. Badly CPU constrained. Do not skimp on Weapon Upgrades if you intend to fly this ship.
In return for dealing with the hell that's the 'geddon's CPU, you get a brutally damaging battleship. Pair with a tanking battleship, and watch the L4 npcs melt. With decent gunnery skills, you will run into problems keeping enough ships locked, so training Targeting and Multitasking is a good idea. Otherwise, you run into the rather funny problem of your lock time being the limiting factor on how fast you can kill things. Your lock range is also a problem: 65km base. Pulses boosted with tracking computers and tracking enhancers get rather nice range. It can pretty easily extend past where you can lock. Long range targeting helps prevent that.
A reasonable gunnery skill target is Large Energy IV, Controlled Bursts IV, Motion Prediction IV, Rapid Firing IV, Sharpshooter IV, Surgical Strike III, Trajectory Analysis II. Pair that with Amarr Battleship IV, Energy Systems Operation V and Energy Management IV and you're in good shape.
The tank will hold up under fire from about 2 npc battleships, 3 battlecruisers, or 5ish cruisers. If you take aggro, you and the tank may be able to knock down enough dps to avoid a warpout at those numbers. If you're not sure, warp. This is a cheap battleship, but you don't really want to hare all over creation to rebuild it.
If by some chance you can squeeze free CPU, a Drone Link Augmentor is nice in the empty high. Energy Transfer Arrays can also be handy. I usually fit a second Tracking Enhancer II or a capacitor power relay in the free low slot. There are a lot of other options, depending on the mission.
