Ha, you are fooling yourself if you think this is why people destroy neutral turrets. They do it because it could turn into a potential hazard against their own vehicle in the future. You could make destroying neutral turrets give negative 100 WP and people would still blow them up.

It's not even about being used against you. It's about the points. Those installation will be blown up. The question is by who. Who will get the points? Hell redline installations aren't even safe. I've been in a few where we got redlined so bad they blew up the supply depot... what a **** move.. "We don't want them pushing out of their redline with AV and counter sniping." I think installations should be buffed so that it takes at least two tanks or a tank and an AV guy or a scout to go an hack one. As they are right now, they're only tank food.

Vehicles are easy mode. I often wonder if they ever get tired of it but I'm sure it's a no. ******* nerfing tanks. Let's give them something to fear; buff installations. Oh and if a supply depot can rep a vehicle why can't it rep it self?

I hate all vehicles. I damn near quit in 1.7. I was only playing once or so a week. 1.8 brought me back. Being able to cloak past the vehicles and even sometimes Re'ing them is great. It's dumb tho. I got proto swarms but the re's are far more effective.

This is a good point. But how far out from the redline should the turrets be able to reach? I'm often harassed by redline turrets far away from the enemy's redline while piloting a dropships. It's not fair that they can reach so far out of the redline that they can fire on objectives.

lol, who is right on this one?

I have destroyed many tanks with the turrets so I don't feel that they are useless in destroying tanks. But, at the same time I'm not buying that they are a "potential hazard against their own vehicle" I see my team mates rush over to "hack" the turrets and the tanks go over and destroy them ASAP. Why? I really feel it's more about the 100WP over anything else. Like I said about a min latter the tanks from the other side come over and there is no way to defend.

Also @Aero Yassavi whats the problem then? Do away or lower the WP for destroying turrets and see what happens especially un-hacked turrets.

Sounds like someone needs to learn to fly

I think neutral installations should shoot back at whatever is shooting at them and deal damage. At the moment there is no risk to the 100WP reward

Distractions? Seriously?
So the stationary heavy turrets which are susceptible to anyone clever enough to find advantagous terrain should be nothing more than a distraction?
So what the hell is their point on the battle field?

Why bother having them at all?
Like Masad said they should be purchasable by units and have more power than their vehicle counterparts on the fact THEY CAN'T BLOODY MOVE.
They should pay a HUGE part in our warfare just like everything else.

I should be suppressing choke points with small blasters, shooting bombers and dropships out the nearby sky with AA turrets and missiles. I should be givimg tanks and MTACs a run for their money with a large rail turret.

A distraction? You mean pointless, useless.

Why is it when I bring this up at most one person agrees but someone else it turns into a like farm? Man I love these forums.

I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude but I feel like everyone is skipping over the point that I'm trying to ask or get answered. "If" it's not about WP's and just about keep the people in the tanks safe. Then what's wrong with lowering or doing away with how many WP's you get for destroying a turret? Especially an un-hacked one.
