I've stopped using large blaster after 1.7, well i see some tankers doing well, i can't even hit people.
I just align targets with the center of the circle and i press fire, i've tried continued fire, i've tried burst, but nothing seems to work well.
Any good tip?


Sidenote: the choice to turn large rail in bigger sniper rifles is horrible.

first person. zoom in.. burst only as the dispersion is a monster.. also raise yoru sensativity as currently people like to be buttholes and try circle you faster then turret turning speed.. but high sensativity + KB/m is OP for large turrets

You know, I've said this before- to you specifically in fact- but KB/M is freakin' terrible with tanks. And vehicles in general actually. I have my sensitivity pretty high (~70 for "hipfire", IIRC), and it is just incredibly, painfully, slow to try to turn the turret on any kind of vehicle (like HAVs) or installation.

It's so slow, in fact, that I often have to turn the entire vehicle to actually get a good traverse speed. So please, either educate yourself (all you need is a USB KB/M setup), or stop saying things which you don't actually understand.

As for the OP... all I can say is that maybe fitting a small turret to kill infantry is an option. I don't really tank a whole lot, and my experience is limited to militia HAVs... but I use the KB/M pretty religiously and I can say that this "Za'ki" person has no idea what they're talking about as far as KB/M controls go.

TL;DR: KB/M is worse for tanks than controller is.

Idk about shooting, but moving tanks with KB have always been a better option than DS3, according to other players, tank turn faster with KB.

BTW, AVer's always said why should take 2 people to kill a tank?
Now i say, why should i mount a little turret to kill infantry?
I agree that large cannons should not be the best option for AI, but i disagree with what Rattati has done to turrets, nerfed to much the AI side, a tanker can't rely only on gunners to be AI.

So, I'll address the turret issue first because it's simpler:

I'm not going to bother going into changes I'd like to see tanks undergo, but I will say this: CCP has changed large blasters to be less efficient against infantry. One of the ways around this is to fit a small turret and switch between the two seats as needed, or even just get some gunners in the tank (ideally being on comms with you, the driver).

Let me be clear- I don't really care what you choose to do, and I don't have any vested interest in whether or not the current status regarding large turret effectiveness against infantry is the ideal or the opposite of that. I'm just telling you that one of the ways you can adapt to this current turret meta, if you will, is to simply fit secondary turrets and switch between them as needed.

Large blaster dispersion makes it difficult to be consistently effective against infantry.

Smaller blasters destroy infantry.

I prefer MKB when using a tank, but then again, I'm a PC gamer at heart, and my right thumb has never become agile enough to aim with.

Only the option to have gunners with comms or trusted is a viable option, otherwise your tank will be stolen (100% sure).
Also tankers with low SP will have difficulties to fit little turrets and have decent fit.
To fit little turrets a tanker with low SP must stay out of the battle for most of time if even a single AVer decide to hunt him.

Your reading comprehension is terrible, you know that? To reiterate: I'm not saying that it's the only option, or even a good option. I'm just saying, that if you feel that you are not very effective using a large blaster on infantry, then you could just slap on a small blaster instead.

I am not saying "you must do this", or even "you should do this". I am only saying that you can do that. Quite frankly, I have no idea how effective doing so would be; I only know that it can be done.

Your continuing argument with me about how you shouldn't have to do that and it's a terrible idea is stupid, for two reasons. First and foremost, I don't care what you think. Secondly, I'm just giving suggestions. You can take it or leave it, but ultimately, I do not care what you do with the information I provide you.

Quite frankly, I only care that you stop saying stupid things- like continuing to dispute whether or not my suggestion is a good idea, when I never said it was and really only said "hey, maybe you could try this".

Basically you are talking just to refresh your mouth.
You don't care about other point of view and you don't give suggestion based on a tactic which can be effectively used on the battlefield.
When you go out from home you can go down the stairs or launch from the window.
I'm not telling one is viable and the other not, i've just gave you 2 options to reach the outside.
