the dispersion was meant to help on LAV and DS drivebys, by making the stream of bullets a cloud of damage instead of having to have pin point accuracy on the dot, which I think everyone agrees is literally impossible on a moving LAV.

The reticule was fixed during DT, so please continue testing this, I think it may be offputting at first, but I want players to give it some more time before writing it off.

Rattati I've played it all today as well trying my best to use it. From Lavs to Assault dropships to small turrets on tanks. The dispersion is simply way too wide to be worth anything on a small turret.
Granted, the Small blaster can output some serious DPS now but it doesnt matter when there's an enemy, less than 50 meters away and my blaster shoots everywhere around him and lands a shot on him every other round.

I have to be 20 meters away just to land most of my shots on an enemy. So you can completely forget using it in hit and run and its a complete joke using it on the Assault Dropship.

Since you are testing, can you try firing at the ground as well. There is supposed to be a small splash that was added some time ago, but never advertised.

Not to sound contrary but firing anything from a moving vehicle is sort of a pain in the [redacted]. Give a small missile turret a shot on a moving HAV sometime Oh I know, I was murdering people on a speedboat with a LMG in BF4 and thinking, why is this so easy and stabilized "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"
