Do you want your turret to magically pass through your chassis? The body shape of the madrugar allows better aiming.

As far as tank fights it sounds like you are relatively new. Try practicing on infantry. You will get the hang of using the slightest incline to aim down. Crying wont help you beat a madrugar but terrain will.

One more thing. I don't hear you asking for the madrugars inability to turn at a reasonable speed to be explained. Each Tank has its plusses and minuses. After tanking for a week you should have some idea of their capabilities.

Hah, no brother, been driving gunnlogis since May. I am very aware of the strengths and weakness of the tanks. As for the better turning ability of the gunnlogi, a maddie has a much faster top speed in a straight line. That is the other side of the balance stick.

But this is why I'm not asking for player assumptions on the matter. I've already heard a range of things from players on why this is they way it is.

And if you ever paid attention to a gunnlogi, you would realize that the turret stops well before it comes close to the chassis. I suspect there is a reason for this, but I would really like to hear a response from someone that truly understands the reasoning behind this.

Edit
I can't believe someone called me a noob! haha

Before they took away the mass of our turrets I used to use the fast back on the madrugar to scoop up tanks and fire my turret directly into their undercarriage. Orthodox tanking bores me. Tanking has changed, you are a newb. I think the more even ground that every stands upon now forces Old Tankers to call out railguns, because the redline never changes.

Should all have the same level of depression tbh, don't let the Gunnlogi aim down any further but limit the madrugar. If Infantry want to rush a tank with R.Es and the tank is too stubborn and doesn't want to move, it should burn, not turn, aim down and shoot the persons foot off.

Gunnlogi (and Sica) is still OP compared to the Maddy fitting wise.

Tebu was tanking when you were in the Academy.

You raise an interesting point that I haven't really thought about, but I've been using both types for so long I probably am just used to it. I don't doubt you though.

Do you think this might be an intentional mechanic to balance against the fact that the Gunnlogi is significantly more maneuverable than the Madrugar in terms of acceleration and turning radius?

Yes there is a sever lack of low slot utilities, and I honestly believe we will see passive versions of high slot utility modules in the next vehicle expansion (Passive Damage Mods, Torque Boosters, Scan Enhancers). But for right now you're right, you're lacking in utility. The Gunnlogi does however have much better fitting potential in terms of resources, so it does have that advantage.

I like the difference in turning radius between the Gunnlogi and Madrugar, but the Madrugars turn radius IS pretty bad, maybe make it slightly better, but not as good as the Gunnlogi.

As for the turret issue, not sure how I feel about it. I need to get in there and test it out to see how bad it is before I decide if it should be addressed or not.
