turret balance / game design here working well, right?
If the new turrets keep up with this trend. . . then what's the point in adding any? |

I've seen some very effective railguns used from Incubi. Or do you only mean MLT and STD? |

Are you talking assault or normal?
On normal, they're all pretty decent choices. It's impossible to aim perfectly with assault, so the splash of missiles is the only way to go. Artillery will probably have a splash, so the trend won't keep up.
I am your scan error.

well considering that the missile turret is the only one with a reticule larger than a pixel i have to assume yes, aiming is too bad on the hybrid turrets.

Missie turrets for noob tanks and infantry, Railgun for DS battles and stronger tanks. I want to use my blaster turret but no splash damage and people can not aim for **** when I had it equipped. But missile turrets are way more versatile because of |

Missiles are EZ mode, plain and simple. Excellent direct damage, large splash, good splash damage, no overheat, decent clip, and the Python bonus makes them insane. They're even pretty useful against shield vehicles.
Railguns are awesome on the Incubus but only against shield vehicles and weak armor tanks. Good armor tanks you simply will not crack, and you're only good as fire support at that point. The best thing about the railgun on the Incubus is probably how hard it spanks Pythons, and for me, that makes it all worthwhile.
The fact that the Incubus has no anti infantry through railguns or blasters means they are forced to fit missiles if they want to reliably engage infantry.

No point in using anything else until you can pitch the turret in first person. Ever tried shooting infantry with a blaster when you have to aim down through your ship and can't even see them?

Perhaps for ADSs, but you can freaking snipe people with rails and a steady-handed pilot.

Missiles make life easier.
everything said above this post was truth... especially about the borked reticules and shite camera that worked really well for standard Drop Ships but is completely broken for ADS.
Camera either needs to make the DS transparent for a small radius around the reticule, or some some other way to fix 3rd person camera aiming.
1st person camera needs to not suck quite so much :P, at least let it move, or set it to show what 3rd person struggles with.... what is going on under the DS.
Missiles with their AoE allow a pilot to minimise much of the woes of ADS targeting.

Your limited on what turret you can use based on the ads you choose to fly. Hybrid turrets are not worth on a python.... It's a waste of bonuses.... If I have caldari DS and ads skills at Lvl 5.... (Which are super sp sinks) I'm going to make sure that I use it at its best...call skill bonuses r for missiles... So ima put missiles... If I wanted rail/blisters i would use incubus... Even if I master and max out hybrid turrets, they will never be as good on a python as they are on an incubus.
Luck is just one of my skills
