I have ZERO skills in vehicles, and very little experince piloting anything but a mlt gorgon for uplink placement.
That said I have gunned for players numerous times and have tried out all 3 of the turrets. From my experince:
Small Missiles are general purpose. They are decent at adding dps against tanks and act similar to the mass driver in terms of dropship stuff. IMO missile turrets are perfect. Skilled pilots with them are enough of a threat for me to get my forge gun, but don't feel OP at all.
Small Rails are the anti-vehicle turrets. I've had many encounters with LAVs or dropships that can down my LAV very easily, but still have a hard time hitting me. While myself personally find them difficult to use in a dropship, I feel that they are too effective as anti-infantry on a LAV used in a similar way to a sniper. Two hits is all it takes, which can pop one of my proto suits without me even realizing where they were firing from. I do not want a damage nerf, but letting them fire these "automatic snipers" for long periods of time without having a ton of kick or heat buildup doesn't make much sense.
Blasters are your primary infantry killers. After the update, they are great at killing things from close range, but should have the greatest benefit of firing for long periods of time without reloading. I feel that the extra amount of firing time blasters get compared to rails is not enough. Rails should be the precision weapons, blasters should be the better "spammers"
That said, something I like about HMGs is their tight dispersion after firing for a while. I don't want to see the dispersion mechanics changed, but possibly making it easier to deal damage at longer ranges with the blaster. Currently, you start out with a pretty small dispersion that slowly gets bigger...but I feel that I can't "spam" the weapon very well especially at longer ranges.
Maybe make it start out very precise instead of somewhat dispersed, or slow down the dispersion a bit. Damage increase doesn't feel necessary, I just want more of the rounds to actually hit the enemy.
