You do know that firing won't light us up anyways, it's the sound.
Sound plays a massive role in Tanks, you can usually locate a Tank the moment its turret starts going off (if you're nearby). You imagine you're sneaking up on someone who is very capable at locating Tanks through sound and your gunner is just firing up at the MCC, that advantage is gone.

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

What?? Tanks are so friggin noisy even when not moving. I can hear them rolling along a good ways out. I locate them by the sound of their treads...

I despise blueberry gunners with a passion, they all send me mails when I ask them to get out "BUT I'M HELPING!" Nope, you just shot a turret and it helped kill me with that enemy tank, you continued firing at the sky so the enemies knew where we were and/or you see we're about to die, you don't get out so I can recall or better yet you switch seats and drive my tank off into the reddots. Your kind are vultures and parasites, deal with it. King of the Forums // Seraphim <3 Comment and like this thread about PvE, Here!

Do not worry, I will keep small turrets on my tanks and dropships, I actually have prioritized small turrets over the main turret. I like driving around concentrating on navigating and handling modules while my gunners shoot down all visible red dots. I also like thinking that my tank helps protect at least two team mates from enemy snipers.

Scattered Blasters are immense on any vehicle (except LAVs, LAVs are transport and murder taxi, gunning is a pain in the ass.) but why use them when blue dots take them and fire at MCCs? "lulamhalpinguise." They use up much needed PG and CPU, if I have the ability to get 1000+ more eHP at the cost of some idiot not being able to shoot at the MCC? I'm going to take that extra eHP. Also, the Railgun is **, 50% effectiveness on Vehicles and has *** bullet drop. You'd be better off sitting next to the tank with a forge.

That's different, your tanker wants you to help, you're squaded together and you're both communicating, random blues are parasites, detrimental to survival. They also steal your proper gunners spots if the gunner jumps out to be useful (such as hacking objectives or hunting the guy on the roof with swarms.)

Racro 01 Arifistan The Surrogates Of War 28	Posted - 2013.08.27 13:34:00 - [17] - Quote if you ask me small turrets are able to compkement your turrets weakness. ie a large railgun cant track close targets to well. small blasters have short range but have the dps to deal with them. large blasters have a mediocre range and small missile turrets have a longer range and can help to pulg away at enemy vehicles. small turrets arnt meant to kill other things but i see them as away to add to your firepower and compensate for weakness's.
Logi Bro Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 2117	Posted - 2013.08.27 13:35:00 - [18] - Quote I'm a pretty useful gunner.....but that's mostly because I know when to jump out to hack the objective, or to shoot that guy that jumped on top of the tank, or use my repair tool to stop your ass from burning to death. I guess I'm pretty accurate with the turrets....had no idea shooting them revealed you on the TACNET though.

They also steal your proper gunners spots if the gunner jumps out to be useful (such as hacking objectives or hunting the guy on the roof with swarms.) Oh, I agree with that completely. For the DS and Tank pilots I run with in Ambush, I always start off with a DU fit and run away from all of the bluetards so that the pilot can spawn in without worrying about getting his vehicle stolen or having a pair of them jump in the small turrets. I think we spend more time running away from blues than hunting reds in some matches.

I locate them by the sound of their treads... to Infantry, I can see what you mean but when two tanks are on the map, you can never tell if its your engine or theirs, there are also distinct differences of sound when a Tank is moving or still, so if you've stopped and the tank is moving behind you you'll hear him, but if you're moving and he's moving or you're both stopped, it's difficult to pinpoint.. until somebody fires a turret xD King of the Forums // Seraphim <3 Comment and like this thread about PvE, Here!
