I feel for you if you're getting 1 shot sniped out of an LAV from across the map by a turret, but if it's a case of the turret preventing you from running your dropship willy nilly, no. If the turret is making your life tricky, destroy it. If you can't destroy it, get help from your squad. Turrets don't need to be nerfed because they prevent dropships from having free reign over the skies. |

4) reduce range - a rail or missile turret (unmanned) can shoot your dropship for the entire game leaving you useless, or worse, at a large area of the map, until the turrets are dead (A point on the new map with the giant pillar in the middle, is a perfect example of where this broken, 4 missile turrets barraging your DS at once... )
Useless indeed. If you don't have the wherewithal to destroy a turret, I would imagine a turret would render you useless. 3 shots, I think, from a Militia Swarm Launcher takes out a turret, maybe 4? If you are running in a squad, you could ask them to destroy it? Or hack it? Maybe a tank? Hell 5 or 6 ARs may take it out.
Or CCP could just nerf it. |

And again let me bring up that you don't understand dropships because you are not a pilot! No one is your personal butler who will just switch to a swarm or FG fit and take it out! Now if you don't mind I will leave you too your turret in the back of the map 3 hit killing DSs and 2 hitting LAVs 
Oh I understand completely. If your team is not effective enough to remove a single turret from the map, or if you are running solo.....in a dropship.......you don't want that turret to be a nuisance. You want to be able to fly around willy nilly.

whether one likes it or not.

Yes, willy nilly. Moving on, everyone that is green in Dust is your personal butler. If I have a tank or a dropship that needs help, I do what I can to help them. Sometimes I save 'em, sometimes not. But that's a question of tactics, not of balance. If you think that last bit was outlandish I suggest you find a new corp, or stop running solo.....in a dropship......and yeah, if you think i'm sitting on a turret in the back of a map, think again. I'm switching to swarms so I can "abruptly decrease your altitude".

Never said it did. Just clarifying things for you. Look if you want to nerf turrets because they keep you from doing whatever it is that a solo person does in a dropship, that's all fine and good. I've suggested methods that, while highly complex (apparently), are highly effective. If you can't deal with a turret I don't know what to tell you. But again to the OP I say no. |

I'm pretty sure that's the motto for the Republican Party. Word for word. |

What am I suppose to say to that? There is no talk to be had with you on the topic. You say what you want and you flip out on anyone who doesn't back you up. If you turn back to my first post, and look at your first post directed at me, you can plainly see who was "automatically on the offensive".
The people who are detrimental to the game are those who refuse to learn how to play it, and demand that whatever they don't like be nerfed. Your claiming I am personally attacking you, yet you have been a complete @ss to every single person in this thread that hasn't agreed with you. You can do 2 things here. Keep acting like a fool, or come to peace with the fact that everyone has an opinion. And my opinion, as I've already stated, is if you want to nerf turrets because they bother you when you are flying in your dropship, suck it up and learn how to destroy the weakest installation in the game.

Oh i'm perfectly calm. I still don't think you fully grasp the definition of "willy nilly", it doesn't mean you suck, and I never said you did (self conscious?). What you want to take for closed mindedness is actually logic. If I can't kill a heavy, I don't cry for a nerf, I figure out a different way to approach the problem. If you want a nerf to turrets because they make it difficult to fly a dropship, that's plain out foolish. Now if the problem is swarm rendering, or OHK headshots from 800 meters out, yeah that stuff should be fixed.
The only point you made that I can agree with is #3, other than that, no. I really don't know how else to tell you. If you want to think i'm trying to be an @ss that's up to you, but it won't make me change my opinion. Turrets are there, turrets can fire un-manned, turrets can be hacked, turrets can be destroyed. I see no reason to nerf them. If you don't like my opinion, that's your choice. You can either accept it and move on or you can keep making assumptions about people and talking about elementary school....... |
