People preffer to jump out of your tank to kill the guys that i put in front of the gunners...
Seriously, anything is better than small blasters... I want them to be usefulls so bad as anti infantry.

You made some amazing fixes to the small blaster turrets. I think that it might be time to tweak range and damage, maybe even include a sharpshooter skill ( sharpshooter sounds nice ). The small blaster even at proto level does not do enough damage to be better than a regular weapon and you still jave to spend the same sp on it. I respecced out of proto blaster turrets because it was a dead skill.
The turret is not effective neither on dropships or tanks. I can't justify spending sp on a proto turret that is less effectove than my dren assault rifle, even before i respecced into ars.
I have said before that a 15% damage increase makes the proto blaster turret marginally more viable but, even so, that 15% damage increase does not make it a more suitable weapon than the missile or rail turrets.
I would even say to keep the range the same as long as it gets a significant damage increase above the 15% mark. Each tier should be at least as effective as its assault rifle counterpart in terms of ttk.
BLASTER FLAWS
- Applied damage: any weapon can outdps the small blaster turret at its intended range. Evene with a 15% damage mod, the proto blaster turret felt marginally usefull compared to rails or missiles
- Overheat: This aspect feels like it was balanced towards gunners who had incubus V. Before the second batch of blaster fixes ( when the hmg style sights came out) gunners with level v incubus and and pilots with level v incubus did not overheat. After the second round ( when it was fixed so ut didnt disappear), both gunners and pilots would overheat at level v incubus.
Balancing overheat based on a maxed out incubus gunner ppilot combo made the ovwrheat in other vehicles unbearably fast. This is a big problem because combined with its low applied damage, it creates a situation where the gunner has to pause too much to make any difference in tge engagement.
- Effective distance: what is never taken into consideration with the type of sights that this turret has is that dispersion more than halfs the dps of the turret. Increasing the range does not translate into more dps but that the small amount of bullets that hit at range will do their complete damage. The dispersion takes care of giving it effective ranges.
- Dispersion: its way too large for the small blaster turret. Reducing it or adding a sharpshooter skill qould work wonders.
At the least the small blaster turret needs a damage increase that is higher than 15% to make it feel worthwhile.

Indeed. I've made it no secret I feel that Large Turrets should have a limited field to being primarily AV turrets (they will need to be if Marauders and Enforcers come out with those extra module slots and 10K plus EHP) but still be able to skill shot infantry despite slow tracking speeds, and limited barrel depression leaving HAV hulls assailable by AV units.
To counter AV units HAV pilots should be incentivised to make use of vehicle gunners and Small Turrets designed to chew up and push off Infantry units.
Please keep the discussion relevant to small blasters please

My bad. Its the ratio of directed content in which i felt the enfasis was on large turet balance overall based on There being no suggestions or insight on the small turret apart from tankers having to rely on them for anti infantry work.
But again, my apologies=

Seriously, anything is better than small blasters... I want them to be usefulls so bad as anti infantry. Small turrets are nowhere near bad and perform naturally as anti infantry. If you had rails on your tank of course people would jump out. If you moved your tank excessively, of course people would jump out. Pay attention.
First off i had blasters
Second i deliberaty point my gunners at the enemy and dont move till they are dead or the enemy gets away. In 80% of tge time, no matter how close or far; its better to jump out and kill them with you gun.
Third, assumptions that i had rails equipped instead of blasters when i clearly stated using blasters means gou neither read nor know what you are talking aboutq
