Missile turrets may finally be perfect. They are capable of killing anything and everything, short of hardened shield tanks, but they're not QQ'd about because they take skill to use.
Perhaps the way to balance blasters and rails is around these.
Rails are cried about bc of their ability to kill quickly at long range.
What needs to happen is that DPS needs to stay the same and range needs to stay the same, but ROF needs to be drastically reduced so that a shot has extremely high alpha, but this shot NEEDS to hit or the gunner will be SOL, especially in a brawl. However, an accurate shot will not lose any of his ability.
A blaster is a very good infantry killer...perhaps too good. The best way to fix this is the same was that the rail has been fixed- keep DPS, but reduce ROF (increase Alpha, though). Another change would be to increase damage within 8m by 10%, but increase the falloff rate.

Because they are skill weapons. Contrary to popular belief, the first shot is almost dead accurate and OHKs median suits.

I'd actually like to see Large Blaster range decreased, overall DPS increased, but fire rate decreased. This would make them less effective against infantry (though still the best compared to Rails and Missiles), but allow them to be more competitive at close range against other vehicles.
