With the removal of the necessary small turrets on Tanks, most Tankers don't use them at all because it requires them to reduce their effectiveness by either using weaker turrets or weaker defenses. When I play with my friend or father, I change up my fitting to put in a seat. However, the turret is always in the front-low area. This turret is crap. It is too low to get things that are above it more than a few degrees and it sees to be totally happy only have to have a 45 degree firing area. The secondary turret, on the other hand, is awesome. Higher so it can see more, better rotation so it can see more, and that gunner doesn't die when the tank rams a jeep head on.
Considering how much of a sacrifice it is to put in a gunner, I think it would be fair to allow the Tanker to dictate where they want to put the seat rather than having the first gun put in always be the front low gun.
Be well.

Are you sure you can't put it in the other turret slot? I believe that works for dropships (though I can't contort because I don't use side turrets).

Yup. Changing where the turret was didn't doing. It stayed on the low front. |

You can't. I tried. In the fitting screen it is displayed how you want it, but as soon as you call in the tank with 1 small turret, the small turret is ALWAYS at the front position.

Totally agree. I thought I could do this already as it showed so while fitting but when I called it in it was always in the front. Such a buzzkill.

Considering putting in a single basic blaster had me knocking two of my modules from Complex to Enhanced, it was an actual hard choice. That is fine. Having that choice end up being in the worst possible blaster slot is very lame. I would put in another turret so my passenger wouldn't be stuck with a piece of junk turret slot but I would weaken my Tank further and would run the risk of not being able to re-fit and re-arm my Tank because there is a blueberry along for the ride. Considering many Supply Depots are in an inaccessible area for Vehicles, recalling is actually really important now. |
