deepfried salad gilliam Sanguine Knights 503	Posted - 2014.03.13 19:18:00 - [1] - Quote pleassee can we get plasma cannon turrets module poll stuff for alts
Dauth Jenkins Ultramarine Corp 205	Posted - 2014.03.13 19:22:00 - [2] - Quote Makes sense, each of the two vehicle factions would have 2 turrets. Missiles and rails for caldari, and plasma and blaster for gallente. Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe... Pulls out commando suit with laser rifle and swarm launcher...
Ollurd Gallente Proficiency V 16	Posted - 2014.03.13 19:27:00 - [3] - Quote I think they should replace large blaster tank turrets with something similar to the plasma cannon. When you think about it, every other tank turret is balanced properly(except rail turrets. Decrease the ROF) it's just blasters that are too effective against infantry. I've been thinking this since the plasma cannon was released. It'd solve a lot of problems.

It's all the same stuff. They are firing plasma, true,but so does the assault rifle. They are more like an assault rifle than a Plasma Cannon. Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe...

I don't mind leaving in blasters, just give them some dispersion, and make them less usefully against vehicles, so that if you pull out a tank to kill infantry, you should be at a disadvantage if you come up against any AV vehicle turret. Specialization is what this game is all about. Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe... Pulls out commando suit with laser rifle and swarm launcher...

Specialization is what this game is all about. I am simply of the opinion that the blast facilitates an Anti Infantry power too great for what it is. A 205 round magazine means I can effectively drop +10 people before having to reload. Whereas a plasma canon with12-15 rounds per magazine essentially firing 10 blaster rounds in one shot, would facilitate a large vehicle turret that actually functions like a tank turret while retaining its anti infantry role, but simply requiring a little more aim to successfully make kills.

Harpyja Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1267	Posted - 2014.03.13 20:05:00 - [13] - Quote My only problem with a plasma cannon type turret instead of the current blaster turret is that it will replace my missile tank's role as CQC AV. Missiles are finally in a good place, and I don't want that to change again. Besides, missiles are crap for AV even at half their max range because you can't rapid fire (which is the only benefit of using missiles), otherwise the majority of your missiles will miss. I'll only support a new CQC AV turret if missiles get about 5 degrees per 100-150 meters of passive tracking ability to make hitting vehicles at range feasible.

Simply because the Plasma turret has CQC capacity does not mean I should or would override the role of another CQC AV turret. As the Missile Turret is only truly effective vs armour, the Plasma turret would be more balanced against shields and armour. It also could have interesting mechanics like arcing projectiles letting skilled users arc shots. " ..- -.- --. I wish I remembered morse code so I wasn't typing random letters" - Malleus Malificorum

Missiles need to be good at CQC AV first :( Just took them to proto, they're fun but not very effective. Assault ak.0 w/ScR+ScP 4LYFE Forum Warrior Level Two. (GëºGêçGëª)/

Its not that good vs Infantry......however damage mods + Splash makes hitting infantry very easy. But at least it requires some semblance of skill to snipe an infantry man as opposed to unloading 30+ rounds down range for that 1 kill. " ..- -.- --.

Dmg mods or not, I've been killed by rail tanks way to easily and vise versa when I was trying to plant REs on it. If I'm underneath the turret, it shouldn't be able to hit me.
