Also respectfully disagree, even given the efficiency sustained fire is more than capable of taking down well fitted standard tanks, that said it takes a long time and works best against shield vehicles. The blaster turret is also particularly good at taking out LAV's, the "raking" as IWS out it gives a high chance of wounding, if not outright killing the crew of the vehicle. And given the drivers position you also tend together headshot bonus's as well, to date in my experience the blaster has proven the best small turret to stopping LAV's, and are competent at killing both vehicles and turrets.
That said, IWS is wrong about small rails, the things are garbage in every respect. |

Though I would like an option for the turret not remain aimed where you move it, currently it always wants to return to it's neutral position which can result in fighting the turret to keep a consistent aim on something. Must have been a bad team, I had AV at all times. So do I and every assault dropship pilot. The key is to identify them and kill them. Ok ADS pilots run away from AV Good ADS pilots run away from AV then return with fiery Too bad this never works vs Forge Gunners. They just come back 3 seconds later, and with a vengeance. Or some more teammates to LOL-WTF-DOUBLE-FORGE-1-SHOT you
I like to swoop down on forge gunners, particularly tower snipers, you always have to kill the uplink first in that scenario. IMO dancing with a forge gunner is one of the most challenging and fun things you can do in dust, nothing like seeing those blue streaks just miss you. That said things go badly when a second forge gunner enters the fray... |

Except if/when you manage to kill an LAV drive you have to hover there and fire at the bloody AFk vehicle for a minute before it dies. AFK LAV > decked dropship survivability
Sure, but in terms of just being a hard counter and stopping its rampage in the quickest time possible it's unbeaten, you can always leave the thing for infantry to follow up on and destroy/hack. |
