I used to fly an incubus, Gal Ass Dropship with proto missles on it. Im not saying that doing that would not still be effective (if not the most effective out of the options of railgun and blaster) but the bonuses kind of made me shy away from dropships for now.
Small turret railguns are essentially broken. 1st of all, they are near impossible to hit infantry with due to 1m splash and that the gun does not shoot where you aim it most of the time. I do like the rate of fire buff though but honestly its still completely ineffective. Also, the use of it as an AV wep is just about completely useless as well. Tanks and LAVs are too fast take on seriously with railguns but I would say its easier to do that than to try and kill foot soldiers.
Blaster turrets are not broken in my opinion. They are just not as effective as missile turrets. Blasters have very short range and still take longer and better aim to kill someone than missiles do. Not to mention that small blasters have absolutely no AV purpose.
Now, I think Gal needs something to compete with the OP missle turrets, The Plasma Cannon. The light weapon Plasma Cannon is a unique hybrid weapon that would devastate if mounted onto a small turret. It would compete with the missile's damage, AV capabilities, and splash effectiveness. I think it should have some of the slowest rate of fire though (cant have it too OP). That is just my opinion on how we can balance some of the vehicles a little more.
The Plasma Cannon small turret was all i really wanted to point out but, I think minne and amarr really need some vehicle love. I know yall at CCP are working hard to implement everything and I hear that all the racial suits are coming soon, but here are some of my ideas on turrets for them as well. A mass driver turret would be beautiful on the battlefield. maybe with dual revolver clips or some extra effects. I think the HG would fit pretty well on a small turret and be competition with the blaster turret. I know we are all waiting for a Heavy Laser for heavy suits, but im thinking some type of pulse laser would be the most effective and gotta mount that baby on a turret when it happens. I dont see a problem with a scram turret as well with charge capabilites. Lastly, an option I almost do not want to mention because it would be just devastating, the mounted forge gun. Scary, I know, but I figure we have to give caldari something else but missiles.
thanks for reading
