Autocannons: Blasters with longer effective range, tighter spread, slightly less damage, stronger to armor, high RoF (both large and small)

Artillery: on the fence about honestly. I can't see how it's useful/immune to redline abuse in our current maps (way to small even for current rails if you ask me).

Laser: Most likely beam (long range, high alpha, low RoF etc) to fill in strong shield weapon in that class. Probably charge with long burst and overheat, low tracking speed.

Bomber dropships/Fighter Bombers: able to fit bomb launcher that fires one of four torpedoes (EM, explosive, plasma, "tank buster" (for lack of a better term)), max 1 torpedo carried at a time, 1-2min reload/ delay (starts when vehicle is called in and piloted to reduce recall abuse). LOS launched, no propulsion.

EM: large area "flux" damage (only shields/equipment, good for clearing large areas)

Explosive: tight area explosion, what you'd expect from a bomb, strong to armor

Plasma: Same as explosive, strong to shield

"Tank Buster": Very tight radius, best used against large stationary targets (*cough*redlinerailtanks*cough*), high damage

I'm sorry but tighter spreads for ACs?

I agree with you kn most points but I'm not seeing the logic behind that bit.

Also trust me when I say we don't need torpedoes in dust, just trust me on that one.....
