1) From what I understand, the passenger with the highest skill's bonus get applied to all turrets. Meaning that a lvl5 Python/ ammo/ prof/ reload pilot's lvl0 gunners will have the same bonuses as he does. They do not stack though.

2) 200m for missiles (150m then a drop in damage) and 300m for rails (I believe; there may be drop off but I don't know the numbers).

3) I wouldn't know, though getting access to the fitting bonus might be worth if you feel like Rail-LAVing (tons of fun!).

4) Communication is always appreciated. As a hobbyist Missile w/ small rail tanker, being able to call out threats and targets makes life a lot easier.

Small rails have a range of 200m. Their optimal range is garbage outside 100m though, so it's not like it's even really worth use in anything besides AV. Unless you have a really good gunner.

yeah, but I do love two shotting just about every kind of infantry and even if I only hit them once that person is going to be severely injured to the point where anybody could easily take them down. Besides the small railgun I'm finding is EXTREMELY accurate even when the dropship is moving.

Echoist Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 280	Posted - 2014.05.01 03:25:00 - [1] - Quote So I've recently added being a vehicle gunner to my small list of specialties and just had a few questions regarding the skills. 1.) I know that the assault dropship skills add to the efficiency of the turret in game, but do the skills after turret operations apply if you're in a dropship that isn't yours? 2.) I've specialized in the small rail turret and was just wondering just how far the turret can shoot and still do a sizable amount of damage to my target. 3.) Is the turret turning speed skill worth getting? Is there a noticable difference with the skill rather than without it? 4.) Do you guys and gals have any other tips or info that I might have missed or just haven't realized yet? Thanks for the help, and if you guys haven't skilled into being a gunner I strongly suggest doing so cause it's a really fun time when you have mics and an experienced pilot.

I'm not sure if the pilot's PROF./REL. affects all turrets or just his/her own. 2) A smallrail can shoot about ~150m before losing efficiency like the old LR. 3) Yes. 4) Wear a fat suit.

I don't suppose anybody knows where I can find the exact stats and fall off damages? Dropship Gunner STINGY: Yes I did nickname my laser rifle. Owner of a "Insta Bacon Machine" called STINGY

AFAIK pilot skills apply to all turrets on a dropship, but if the gunner(s) have skills as well they may boost things further. I have heard reports of pythons with 3 caldari dropships 5 people on the turrets boosting RoF through the roof. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

On dropships they're prettymuch only useful for hunting other dropships. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
