will turrets be balanced in 1.5 or in a hot fix in 1.5? I havn`t heard anything about turrets in 1.5 except there will be new turrets (which may mean only 1 type but to sizes but that's at the very least). turrets vs turrets are imbalanced in many ways on both frames but also turrets vs weapons are imbalanced, I`m not saying large rail gun vs FG is imbalanced 9the only thing wrong there is the A-FG vs the breach FG. its the fact that there is no (again this is turret vs weapon balance, not turret vs turret, in that case its also the stats, I`ll go over that in after) specilazation, ignoring it even though its a core feature of what this game is a mistake, it also prevents PRO turrets being the only way to go to win, in turret specilaztion comes in it allows better vehicle vs vehicle combat becuse hey, player X spent more SP into a turret so he has an advantage if he uses that turret over player Y. it also balances the L railgun vs tank compared to the FG vs tank, with specilaztion FG wins by a large margin.
its also a balance for the future, when more turrets are added there will be tons of turret mods in turret upgrades to the point where 1 skill book doesn`t make sense, by adding turret specilaztion you home in on that turrets upgrades, its sorted, balanced and logical.
as for the turrets themselves being balanced:
l blasters need to overheat faster so they overheat before they can destroy a tank, L blasters do to much in tank vs tank combat and in fact win more.
l rail guns have bugs that make them over heat randomly.
L missiles I think will pan out or atleast get closer to balance after the L blaster is balanced 9so the blaster doesn`t win) and when armor/sheilds are balanced/fixed so I`ll hold my tuange there.
S rail guns need Direct damage buffs of 400-600 as well as 25% buff to heating cap.
S compressed blaster needs a damage buff of 3.0 STD and ADV and a 3.2 damage PRO, as the ultimate damage turret that is actually 2nd place at damage isn`t right, it needs to be atleast tied, the scattered will still have heating and RoF advantages so its damage is still higher in 2 of the 3 DPS ways but atleast it will be tied in damage. |
