Ld Collins The Phalanx Inc 65	Posted - 2013.10.30 04:51:00 - [1] - Quote The small railgun turrets are the worst turrets in the game they the most inaccurate weapons in dust. So im just wondering why is there only 24 rounds for the small railgun turret and why hasnt CCP done anything to fix these turrets. They are next to impossible to use on a dropship they dont do any damage to vechicles or installations but in the description are labeled as effective against vechiles and installations. The sights for the small railgun turret are off why doesnt it have the same sights as the large railgun it just has a stupid dot ive gotten kills with it on infantry at 280m but these kills are extremely rare. The ammunition for small railrun turrets should remain unlimited until CCP finds a way to fix them. That one kill I manage to get takes an entire round of skirmish to get.

I've been protesting that these guns need to be fixed for a year+ now and they still haven't done ***. I may have deleted DUST but I still care deeply about this game.*

THEAMAZING POTHEAD Nyain San Proficiency V. 488	Posted - 2013.10.30 05:00:00 - [5] - Quote small rails...most overlooked weapon in the game. probably the worst. i'd rather have nova knives on my dropsuit than carry around a small rail turret on my dropsuit if i had the option.
Ld Collins The Phalanx Inc 65	Posted - 2013.10.30 05:02:00 - [6] - Quote This turret is only useful on a Lav and you are left extremely vulanerable when using it because a sniper can easily take you out though your shots are pretty much invisible. If someone were to just pull up the map they can easily find you anc call you out to a scout and boom thale's or charged sniper to the head you're dead.

Meeko Fent expert intervention Caldari State 1337	Posted - 2013.10.30 05:20:00 - [12] - Quote Have them deal 100% damage to vehicles instead of 33%, make aiming from a fast moving LAV work (I.e. If I'm aiming at A, and the driver does a 180, I still need to be aiming at A. ), and vastly increase the turning speed on ALL small turrets. I just made the "How to fix LAVs" plan. Annnnnnnnnd...

Execute! By the looks of things in 1.7 the max ammo in the Small Railgun turret will be 30 max damage to vechiles may be a bit much they do 108% on damage on infantry which i do like its just if you put it on a any vehicle other than a Lav it sucks ive tried using it as an anti air turret on a tank it works nicely it gets pesky dropships to back off but if you need to kill infantry at close range its useless.
Sgt Kirk SyNergy Gaming EoN. 2430	Posted - 2013.10.30 05:35:00 - [15] - Quote where are people getting these turret stats? Can I get a link please I may have deleted DUST but I still care deeply about this game.

Can I get a link please http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/news.control/65170/1/Turret_Changes.png I'm mainly talking about the current stats atm though and how useless theres turrets are atm iirc the current blast radius for these turret is 0.65m. Now does the new stats suggest they've updated it to 0.85m or is it 85m which would be insane? Even if brought to .85 meters it sucks it should be the same blast radius as missile turrets. A fart has a larger blast radius than a small railgun turret.
Ld Collins The Phalanx Inc 67	Posted - 2013.10.30 11:49:00 - [17] - Quote ~Bump~ Something needs to be done about these turrets at least give them a larger blast radius and better sights instead of a single dot on screen.

They seem to suffer from the same ill as small missiles; that the movement of the vehicle applies to the projectile. Their hit detection is also shocking. If they went where you pointed them, and hit things when your aim was on target, they'd be beastly. Especially since they'll have decent range in 1.7. Too busy clicking cookies to play DUST...
Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1688	Posted - 2013.11.01 12:11:00 - [24] - Quote I think small railguns should be the 'sniper' of vehicle turrets. Give it 400m range, and for the love of God at least give it the same if not more damage than missile turrets. If we do this, overheat and splash can stay the same, and we'll start seeing some new, interesting tactics, like dropships hovering 400m in the air firing down. These won't be able to be countered by swarms, so it will encourage an enemy railgun tank to come out, OR another dropship for some aerial combat. Oh yessss, aerial combat. > "I will show you fear in a handful of dust." T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland

They do have a range of 300m I use the turrets to snipe or to attack dropships since the blasts can throw them off course. Whats bothering me is that we can't get a dev to weigh in on this. Why are the sights on the turret so horrible they do need to be upped to 400m though. They do more damage than missiles its just the splash damage is pathetic 0.65m blast raidus sub 100 dmg, its almost sinful.

Back when there was only the Line Harvest map to play on I tried setting up a dropship with a small missile and small rail pair. I didn't keep that fit for long.

I dont know mate. Being able to carry one of those around with the damage specs on a dropsuit might be pretty ** >.> Your much more stable on foot than any of the vehicles. Though ill say all the light turret targeting reticles are **. Should replace them with the heavies reticle and make them not fire in a straight line. Maybe a little dispersal in a tightish circle would make them more useful on things like the lav.

You mean a person that is able to find a target that is standing perfectly still for 20 seconds so you can finally get a shot to land on him. Skill has 0% to do with railguns. You can be Nod Keras for all I care and you would still have to rely on chance to land a shot because the railgun is incredibly inaccurate. The newer the berry the dumber the juice.
