Here's a video I threw together after dropping enough SP to get prototype Small Blaster turrets (didn't know what else to spend it on). Gotta say, probably one of the worst SP investments I've made since Uprising came out 60 meter optimal range, enough DPS to down a Heavy in less than two seconds, but incidentally that doesn't mean much of anything with this thing's stormtrooper accuracy. Luke Skywalker wouldn't even have to use the force against this poor thing. Course... Then there's the turret bug that forces it to always look North by default, or the last location it was pointed at. Gotta say, can't wait until Hotfix Charlie addresses this thing's terrible dispersion On a side note, has anyone had any degree of success with these things? Let alone on Assault Dropships?

Makes it possible to pre-aim my LAVs without putting my face in danger as I drive up. Friend of mine pulled about ten kills with one on the nose of my tank, and they work nicely for dealing with those annoying SL guys who think it's a good idea to bunny hop in the middle of the road. Not that a dispersion nerf would be unwarranted. I think that was my conclusion when they changed them, too. Couldn't you do the same thing by just having the turret face the front of the LAV like it's supposed to? Like it gives you the false interpretation that it does o.o; ? And though I -seriously- doubt it will ever happen, the thing could do well with a forward turret shield to protect the user some... been asking for that since closed beta.

If it wouldnt get bigger while firing then you could get kills from medium-close distance with no issues. It cant be hard to code that, just look at large blaster installations for example when you man them they have no dispersion increase and in my opinion thats how the small blasters should be like. Keep the reticle how it is now but no increase of dispersion. As you demonstrated a heavy with a HMG gets more shots on target then you with that blaster. No other small turret has dispersion increase while firing, small missiles have travel time and small rails are pinpoint accurate. Sure small blaster do have potential but thats getting negated if only 1 out of 20 bullets actually hit the target. /shrug Dispersion should be low enough that the weapon can put shots on targets within it's optimal range of 60m for at least controlled bursts.

Surely there should be some room for firefights, gungame, etc? So are you saying there's nothing wrong with a vehicle mounted turret being unable to kill targets that are well within it's optimal range - let alone within shotgun range - despite the gun often being more expensive than entire infantry fits? I mean, come on dude, at least make the damn things usable and worth-while for the SP investment. It's an LAV, it's not like you can't just shoot the guy out of the thing or throw a few AV grenades to blow him up. I don't see anything wrong with an LAV parking at a choke-point and laying down suppressive fire for infantry to move up, it's a role that we very severely lack in the game right now (suppression). If you watch the video you'll see that it's doing anything -but- farming infantry. Suggesting that fixing the dispersion on this thing would be doing that is a little... flawed, I think, when it can't even perform well within it's designated range. Even the,. the weapon is DESIGNED to be an anti-infantry weapon (the only vehicle turret that has been 100% clear about that) and it can't even do that at the closest of ranges without exhausting entire pools of ammunition. Might as well just mount an HMG on the back of the LAV, would be a hell of a lot more effective, I can guarantee you that much. Useful Links Aeon Amadi for CPM1
