The INTENT from CCP's end was supposed to be that the AI (the times when NO player is operating the installation, and the green beam light on the top of the installation is shining green or red), would search for vehicles and immediately engage them when the vehicle is 75m or closer.
(I personally believe the AI should be made more "aggresive" by increasing that 75, to 100... but ok, it's 75m).
Unfortunately, after MONTHS of getting used to squishy and nearsighted gun installations on the maps, MOST players don't know yet how these installations have improved, so most players are still running right passed them and not even worrying to hack or man them.
If you've been following this forum, you understand the significant difference of the Charlie changes.... the rest of your team's players will be clueless for quite awhile. Maybe for the next 4 weeks...
 When you hack one of these "Charlie version" installations and leave it on AI, it only serves as a very decent DEFENSE or "you can't come through here" weapon.
 To make it anywhere decent at OFFENSE and ATTACKING targets, you MUST operate it manually.
If you use a MIC at all, start ordering your team to HACK these turrets----they are really making a difference in my match wins, AND my WP totals!

Great thread---because I'm one of thos players who earned my ISK manning installations, when I'm not driving a DS.
I'd like to see the installations improve even FURTHER, in any small way possible, so maybe someone should request this thread be relocated to the Feedback and Requests area.

 Well Takahiro, no, they are getting used SOMEWHAT... Like we observe, "behavior" in this game is not efficiently taught or modified or corrected in players... they, err... learn by "I saw the other player doin' it a lot last night" .
The "other player" was ME last night. Last night I was doing NOTHING but hacking installations, laying down support over the heads of my blues as they try to advance on a Null, getting stabbed by a red with knives, then using the nearest CRU to run RIGHT BACK to the same installation becasue I KNEW it would still be there and that the red that killed me was now hacking the installation.
Back-n-forth, losing 10 dropsuits in the constant re-hack/use action---but I wanted players to see they were now being SUPPORTED by these installations (even my lowly blaster installation decapitated 8 reds during the match, eliminated a pesky cloak-scout-w-shotgun whe kept harrassing Objective-E... camped-up the red uplink that was placed on the communications building roof).
Yes, 75m aggressive range is tiny. To use these installations OFFENSIVIELY you have to man them, and that behavior in your teammates will take a while to sink in. Give it time, Takahiro, you'll see!
