DUST Search - 20 GJ

Railguns are pretty good right now, AV and AI. Just gonna say well done with those.
Missiles seem about the same and are still the dominant Dropship turret
Blasters got nerfed to high hell. The range is cool but when 75% a clip doesn't register damage, tisk tisk.

Blasters used to be fined back when we had scattered, you could totally rack in kills with those and despite being all around better than the normal blaster, the fact that they are removed, dealing with blaster hit detection is impsossible. Tracking was also nerfed on their end so they are pretty pitiful for CQC and efficiency against vehicles seems rather....poor? Not even worth trying.

So the ADS thing is completely separate but blasters is just not an option, railguns are an OK option on a full spec incubus, but missiles just completely wreck with a deep specced Python which I don't mind but the fact that people use them on an Incubus as well more often then railguns says something: Hybrid 20GJ are just not viable in the air.

I will give the railgun some credit to hold it's own in the air with proper circumstances, but blasters are just such a joke on them. Back in the days I used to run dual Scattered 20GJ and my gunners would wreck havoc with upwards of 40+ kills total under them.

CCP take a page from the old days of blaster and you will have a fine 20 GJ balance. DON'T TOUCH 20GJ RAILGUNS, you finally got them right! They are an absolute blast to operate on an LAV. Missiles are pretty effective on LAV as well.

TLDR:
Fix Blaster Hit Detection, tracking buff,
Fix DS aiming to make non-splash turrets viable (more viable in case of Railgun)

TLDR: Fix Blaster Hit Detection, tracking buff, Fix DS aiming to make non-splash turrets viable (more viable in case of Railgun) Really it is like this: Small turrets: Missiles - good for AP and AV (Aiming still needs work, awful when dropships are moving faster than a little roll) Railguns - good for AP and AV (Absolutely SUCK as a main turret, also SUCKs on a dropship as a side gun that is not completely still) Blasters - Just going to leave THIS here. my beloved blasters, untouched and perfect from codex till uprising 1.4. Then 1.4 till present... why CCP? just return pre 1.4 blasters FFS. It also seems like anything that shoots from a aerial vehicle has awful aiming while moving. Take a look at THIS, PERFECT aiming system even while going at high speeds. Veteran Pilot "Fight on and fly on to the last drop of blood and the last drop of fuel, to the last beat of the heart."
