Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries 6808	Posted - 2014.02.26 11:57:00 - [1] - Quote Blasters should have HMG like dispersion, making it so that they aren't pinpoint accurate. They stay deadly and infantry will still fear sticking their heads out when one is around, but it also won't be an insta kill win button. It also doesn't hurt their AV power like damage or ROF reductions would. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Beld Errmon 0uter.Heaven 1405	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:14:00 - [3] - Quote Dispersion would make them even better at killing infantry and take away the little skill already involved in actually putting the dot on the target to kill it, countless times i've come across a bunch of infantry standing together and watched half get away because of the precise nature of the blaster, with dispersion they wouldn't and ppl with bad aim would benefit. It would be better to make infantry take less dmg from the blaster in general while buffing the amount of dmg it does to vehicles, perhaps slow down all turrets turning speed as well.

You want to be accurate? You have to take a chance and be close to overheating. Kinda like the laser rifle and damage. As an additional note, maybe small blasters should get it too, but get increased damage and faster accuracy gain? Small blasters really are meh. The fact that you're on a mobile platform means you can't have much accuracy, but with HMG like dispersion and a damage increase, blasters could cover a small area with fire rather than a pinpoint location, making it easier. Sure, if you increase the damage blasters do against vehicles as well. Drop it like its hat. CCP - Working hard on the (d)evolution of Dust 514 since 2013.
Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1135	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:16:00 - [6] - Quote having a large dispersial area would actually help limiting their use against infantry while maintaining every bit of their anti tank utility.... maybe not HMG type but more.... plasma rifle style crosshairs with random dispersion, meaning you can spam at infantry and get some shots in but you cant drill their face like we currently can.

On the contrary. It works for the HMG because it has a ROF of 2400, instantly filling the reticule with bullets. Large blaster has a much smaller ROF.

Takahiro Kashuken Red Star. EoN. 2718	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:41:00 - [10] - Quote But its not like the HMG The HMG is basically a minigun, it has 6 barrels and spits out 6 rounds with each full rotation let alone a very high ROF which shreads everything in close range The large blaster doesnt have 6 barrels last i looked, nor does it have a high rate of fire Are you suggesting we should have a minigun as a turret? you do know that could be the minmatar large turret, in EVE they have autocannons which are 2 guns basically strapped together Intelligence is OP

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 3280	Posted - 2014.02.26 13:20:00 - [12] - Quote Scattered blasters were the go-to turret for anti infantry. Giving them dispersion just makes it easier for them to spam shots in the general direction. Pinpoint means they actually have to aim, and makes strafing them a real possibility. No.
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2280	Posted - 2014.02.26 13:38:00 - [13] - Quote Aside from the dispersion discussion, anyone saying blasters need an increase against vehicles needs to pipe the F down. It's an anti-infantry weapon. If it was good against tanks too, no one would use anything else and it'd be close to impossible to kill them with anything short of a redline rail, which we all know everyone hates.

I'd say yes except that the HMG despersion and mechanic is what the minmatar autocannon turret should and will be. Blaster would do with just a RoF nerf and make it more pinpoint accurate if anything so that you really do have to be right on someone to hit them. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

In terms of DUST game mechanics, less accuracy means a better ability to do damage to close moving targets. The HMG fix proved it. We already have game history proving it for blaster turrets.

Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 102	Posted - 2014.02.26 16:23:00 - [19] - Quote Perhaps the OP idea would work, but I see the point of both sides. Regardless, I my view the large turret on a HAV should be mainly against other vehicles (crappy for infantry), leaving the small turrets for specialised Anti Infantry. This would mean that to dominate a point against both vehicles and infantry you will need 2 to 3 people to operating the small turrets. I.e a choice between operating solo and be effective against vehicles, but little defences against swarms, FG, sticky remotes and grenades... Or occupy several people in your team, but be a much harder target overall. This would (IMHO) solve the issue people are arguing that it takes several people to take out one person in a tank.

Malkai Inos Onikanabo Brigade Caldari State 1286	Posted - 2014.03.20 19:54:00 - [22] - Quote I'll second the "makes them even better at anti-infantry" hypothesis. Aiming with a cone instead of a point is way more forgiving of bad tracking and i'd guess the RoF of blaster turrets is easily enough to provide consistent, albeit lower, damage against infantry. This,of course, is dependant on the amount of dispersion and the hmg-like inverse spread might help aswell. Sill. This can easily backfire.

Apparently you don't use the blasters because these pieces of junk are miserable turrets. The guns have the same pattern as an assault rifle, they disperse like crazy. If you watch the actually leave the weapon they are all over the place. These Devs are doing the best they can so the only thing they know how to do is spec up a reasonable gun then make it not work as documented. Why? Because they refuse to document the details of many weapons. 1.8 was the first real effort to even begin documenting how infantry weapons work, weak as it was. For all other weapons aka vehicle the data is just missing. Then the Devs can Ninja Nerf to their hearts content while you QQ on about something that is just not true. The bullets fly all over the piece. Try not running in a straight line. Unless I am shooting at you, then please do. Blaster turrets are junk. Seems to be a common thread/subject regarding weapons. Overheat, inaccurate and now ... amazingly accurate only if you are some Red getting your empty Merc Helmet blowed off. And so it goes.
8213 BIG BAD W0LVES Canis Eliminatus Operatives 1985	Posted - 2014.03.28 11:23:00 - [32] - Quote The long barrel suggests that that the projectiles should be straight and accurate. However, the Large Blaster Turret is not Gallente-esque. It should have a 300 rpm firerate, and do damage at 89.0, 93.0 and 101.0 HP STD-PRO The fact that they have large ammo capacities, and very long firing duration should mean they have some sort of balance. imo LG Blasters sholdn't be in the game, as they are blatently one-side AI weapons that have no counter from their opposite counterpart. For example a HMG user can still be shot by its target and take damage, and risk death. An infantry cannot shoot at a tank. I put it like this. Imagine CCP put a new ultra awesome dropsuit and weapon in the game. The dropsuit has: 1200 Shield/4000 Armor Shield reps at 160 Has hardener modules Passive rep modules that start at 100 Unlimited stamina A sprint speed of 100km/hr and can carry a weapon that has base damage of 105HP and can fire at 400rpm. Also, has access to use damage mads that give it another 30% And nothing can kill it in 1 hit. People have to look at vehicles just like dropsuits, and blend together to work out balance. I ain't got time for dat sh!t At least I'm not King ThunderBolt

Along with a DPS buff or a DPS nerf to rail guns as the railgun has around 40% more DPS than a blaster. For the Federation!

Dunce Masterson Savage Bullet 66	Posted - 2014.03.28 13:54:00 - [35] - Quote I have a blaster tank profile and shooting infantry is not has easy has your whiny post makes it out to be do to camera angle problems and hit boxes of the landscape and building are bigger then they seem on your screen. It does take skill to get into a position and to aim the turret to be as deadly has you claim them to be. If dispersion is applied to blaster turrets it should come into affect the longer you fire as they are a single barrel weapon not a multiple barrel rotary weapon like the HMG witch when mounted on a turret has the highest accuracy of any machine gun made today. I don't even know why I bother.

Might make them a bit more viable against infantry. Blasters large and small already have dispersion. Why you non-tankers think they don't is a mystery to me. Both of those turrets don't work all the time, fail to fire and the like of bug gets them too. Not as often as a rail gun but it happens. The fire but does no damage is there and can be quite confusing to the tanker. From inside the turret what you don't see is how many rounds it takes to drop a Red infantry. The MLT/STD blaster can barely take out a STD suit and PRO is impossible (unless wounded by others first). Also you can see the rounds do the typical dispersion dance that you see with every other gun. Or CCP/Shanghai's default coding methods make it look like dispersion. Log into the clue server. Changing how the game works for Others is unlikely to make you a better player. And so it goes.

That makes absolutely no sense. CCP/Shanghai will do nothing to fix small blaster turrets. They decided to Nerf Hammer them to uselessness so why would they negate a decision and make it seem like their own decision was wrong? They have never (at most rarely) done that so far and I doubt if this train is switching tracks any time soon. Small missile turrets are superior in every way. And they are useful in more vehicles so you only need to spend the hugely overpriced SP costs on one turret. Use the one that will kill Reds. Small rail turrets are actually better as well. CCP/Shanghai doesn't want us to use small blaster turrets. So don't skill into them unless you have SP to burn as they are useless. By design. And so it goes.

Giving them dispersion just makes it easier for them to spam shots in the general direction. Pinpoint means they actually have to aim, and makes strafing them a real possibility. They didn't even have dispersion; they were just down right better. click me Blup Blub Bloop. Translation: Die -_-
