can we get plasma cannon turrets
I've been posting in vehicle balance threads for the longest time to replace Blaster Turrets with Large Plasma Projector Turrets.

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.
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.

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.

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. Rail shouldn't be so good vs infantry. It should be much harder to hit a small dude running around.
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.
