On an alt with proficiency III in them, and a corpmate driving.
I noticed several things:
- Standard 20gj blasters (that was what we had to work with) have roughly the same DPS as standard gallente assault rifles
- Even at proficiency III, the tracking speed is too slow to be effective, even if the LAV is motionless
- They can't damage the shields of other vehicles (even LAVs) because they don't deal enough damage-per-shot to stop shields from regenerating.
These things need a serious buff to tracking speed and damage.
I am your scan error.

Try out the Small Railgun instead, you generally need to position yourself a little farther out when compared to the Small Missile or Small Blaster turret but they act like rapid fire high damage tactical sniper rifles. They're seriously under-appreciated at the moment and way more effective at both anti-infantry and anti-vehicle engagements.
We mainly tried small blasters because they're unused otherwise.
Today I actually hopped into a random dropship with standard rails, and got 3 kills within the 30 seconds before the battle ended.

Today I actually hopped into a random dropship with standard rails, and got 3 kills within the 30 seconds before the battle ended. This is music to my ears. We can measure how long Small Rails were useless by years. They might of as well not existed before December 2013. As for the main topic I'm surprised they have tacking issues. The Large Blasters seem to have no trouble. I wonder if it is a glitch?
I still don't think small rails are working as intended. They're meant to be AV, not for spraying into a crowd of heavies like I was doing.
They still suck as AV.

They should primarily excel in anti infantry maybe but they shouldn't be so hindered against vehicles as to be as efficient as a handheld weapon.
My prime ***** is hit detection. It's plain awful on blasters. Well you also have to consider that small railguns are anti-vehicle... then small blasters are the oppositie: anti personnel.
Railguns are caldari.
And the general difference between the turrets should be range, not intended targets.

Blasters seem to be designed to f*** infantry up,not other vehicles...you cant have it all Mr McBob.(sure, THIS is what Dust514 needs, a BUFF to Tanks...i mean whats wrong with you ppl...)
They don't do **** to either of them.

Still a ******* turret
