The small rail gun turret has been tweaked for the vehicle update to be more like a rail rifle upsized or that's the intended goal well find out when the update hits.

Normal Small Plasma Cannon Turrets deal between 250 and 350 damage. With Turret Operation 5 and Small Hybrid Turret Operation 5 you get a 15% modifier. The regular Prototype Small Plasma Cannon Turret deals 357.5 damage. You deal around 410 damage per shot, with maximum skills. Add a Low Throughput Field Stabilizer II and you hit 450. I don't know about you, but my standard Amarr Logistics fitting has over 500 HP without Shield Extenders. You're fully buffed regular Prototype SPCT won't be OHKOing anything except glass cannons/Minmatars/Scouts.
Now, the Compressed variety isn't as bad. A direct hit is worth 680 damage after skills and a Field Stabilizer. It won't be OHKOing anything that's tanked itself. An mk.0 (proto Minmatar Assault) with level 5 shielding and armor, 3 Complex Shield Extenders and 2 Basic Plates has over 700 HP, with room for 2 Complex Damage Modifiers left over. You'll OHKO most proto suits that neglect extenders and plates, or are Scouts/Minmatar without mostly health buffs. Considering the standard and advanced tiers, it is fair to say that the Compressed variant with all damage modifiers at prototype tier can OHKO most suits.
The problems with the SRTs run deeper than that, though. Okay, you've fully modded out your HAV, maxed your turret damage and got the prototype compressed SRT on there. Now all you have to do is actually hit something (that has less than 700 health). Good luck. At close range, the blasters will always be better. At medium range, you might get a few kills if you're very skilled. At long range? Good luck hitting anything with that tiny dot to aim with, unless it's staying perfectly still and you've got half a minute to aim. Oh, and then there is the charge up time and the overheat. Did I mention the collision detection issues? Hmm, better make sure the HAV isn't moving when you fire, also. 
Really, you can do better by stopping the HAV, having your gunners hop out of your million dollar brick, hop on top and pull out a Charge Sniper Rifle than stop and try to kill people with the Small Plasma Cannon Turrets.
Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn.

This is just not true the problem is that the SRT is very very inaccurate even if you put the sights directly on a target even if the target is as pertified as a statue you will miss. You need to aim above the target and try to guess where the round will drop not having any sights to aid you makes this extremely difficult. The Compressed variant is the only OHK SRT but it doesnt have the 300m kill range its around 250m. Well at least 250m i dont recall killing anyone with it at 300m but ill try today to verify this. Close range though this thing is absolute crap you have to compensate for every angle the vehicle is at because any variation in degrees throws your shot off. You would think that in the future there would be some gyroscopic stablizers like the ones used in filming. You have to be very very skilled and until I see a QQ thread about SRT being OP im going to assume that no player like that exists. |

I hope that it comes with better sights because they are just awful. Will there still be compressed and regulated versions? |

your on crack, pass the drugs. you had way more then you can handle.
base commando has more HP the direct damage and most infantry will pack that much hp if not more.
You hate me, I hate you. Lets keep it that way.
