So I noticed in HFB that the ROF and hit detection had been 'improved' so I thought I'd have a little go and see what it's like now and I quite like it.
In case you weren't aware, the ROF feels like it's close to HMG levels without encroaching the HMG territory (which is a good thing), and the hit detection appears better.
I also like the new reticule (it's the same one the HMG has too), I noticed this has been applied to the large turrets as well which is cool.
It still annoys me that you have no real way of telling where the heck you will be facing when you switch to the turret though, it's very much a gamble it seems from when you switch seat, with an eye on a target to take them out, to actually changing to the turret and slooooooooooowly turning around whilst being a sitting duck for said target to engage and destroy you.
With that in mind it would be nice if the LAV's turret defaulted to straight ahead when you switch from drivers seat to gunners seat, that way you would know where to aim when you do that double tap to switch seats.
I don't have the SP invested in vehicles to tell if it's any better than it was in any other fields, can anyone with small turrets proto skill comment on how they feel the changes have affected them?

The cardinal direction thing on turrets is a real pain in the ass that I wish would get fixed. Until it does though, here's how it works. The turret by default faces north, so until you turn it, you can use that to your advantage to drive yourself into position where the target is north of you before switching seats. After you turn, the turret will continue to face the cardinal direction it was facing, so you can pre position it to face west if you like before performing a drive by on a target that will be to the west of you.
The turret used to face relitive to the LAV, it changed some time around 1.3 or 4 for some unknown reason.

I totally agree. Make the LAV small turrets default to point directly forwards. Its a total pain in the ass to think you have a clear shot, you switch to the gunner seat - only to find you are pointing in the totally wrong direction with you back to the enemy.
CCP could you guys take a look? CCP has been doing some amazing work with the hotfixes and stuff recently. I feel this little problem would be right up their street to fix :) |
