DUST Search - [Feedback] Nerf the Turret AI to Hell

I stopped going near enemies turrets while driving or on foot. Stop driving past them! As for approaching on foot, cover is the only thing that may save your life, as even if it grazed your arm it will kill. Honestly, if it shoots you while hacking an objective, you should have removed the threat first, would you have hacked with an enemy looking at you? Not to mention it would have covered you while hacking if you hacked it first. AI is notoriously good against humans who like to kiss terminators on their chrome lips. Try playing the unlocked difficulty on same games and the AI are super precise forcing you to pop in and out of cover with each shot.

In real life, would you drive a humvee or run up/past a computer assisted mounted HMG with a DARPA AI, heat and night vision? Modern day video cameras have incredible tracking/motion sensors. The idea of perishable equipment in this game is to make people smarter and more combat aware. The turrets are doing their job.

There's no "get better" when a blaster up and decides to fire at you despite you being the only person even remotely near the objective, as opposed to a large group of people where they don't notice anyone at all. There's no "get better" when a railgun doesn't fire at a tank until just as soon as it explodes then it magically decides it time to start firing.

TBH i think i've never been shot and killed by a Railgun Turret without someone using it... : / And now im even Running Heavy, which means i DO shoot at them and I do gain their attention XD But well thats just me. The turret AI is batshit. Blasters are super sensitive and hyper-accurate to the extent that once they see you, if there's no cover nearby you are guaranteed a death. Railguns on the other hand are finicky as **** and if they're not firing aimlessly over and over again (without overheating no less) they're too busy making ridiculously long shots. I'm not the only one it's happened to, few of my corp mates have reported getting killed by AI controlled Railgun Turrets from 200+ ranges That and they're derpishly hilarious when tanks are firing at them

Find me one AAA title shooter game that has AI controlled turrets with pre-determined location, because there's a reason they don't exist.
