A simple change I want to see to blasters.
Small: add dispersion, add splash damage. These things should chew up any infantry in under 3 seconds, easy. Dispersion means aiming from a moving vehicle is far easier, and it means I can more consistently apply my dps to a target. A range increase would also make them more viable on an Incubus, which I would love to see.
Large: Add recoil. Enough that hitting infantry is baed on luck after 3-4 shots. I'm fine with blasters being better at AP than the other large turrets, but all large turrets should be AV first and foremost. Recoil means that they can still consistently apply their DPS to vehicles, while at the same time reducing their applied DPS to infantry.
Overall, I want Large blasters to be able to kill infantry, but have other weapons do it easier. Small blasters should be king of AP, and no infantry should withstand them for long.

If they are the best for anti-infantry of the large turrets, they should also be the worst at AV. Right now they are competitive against other vehicles as well. Especially Ion Cannons, those things melt through my hardened shield like butter.
What I mean is that large blasters should be best for AP out of the large turrets, but all small turrets should beat it in AP duty. So on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best infantry killer ever, large rails would be a 1, with missiles a 2 and large blasters a 3, while small rails would be a 6, small missiles a 7, and small blasters a 9.

You already have the advantages of speed and maneuverability, as well as a significantly higher eHP pool. Not to mention that the only thing you have to worry about is the AVer(s) you are fighting in the current engagement.
Unless of course, you're referring to the 20GJ Blaster?
Yes. Which is why the part you quoted is labelled small. Come on now, use that noggin.
