Unfortunately the Madrugar actually rarely has more eHP than the Gunnlogi. When it comes to calculations, especially at higher levels your resistance values determined how powerful your eHP tank is rather than raw numbers.

Since the Maximum stacked armour on the current Madrugar is 5885 and you have 25% resistance on that you have roughly 7356 armour and 1200 shields.

Whereas on a Gunnlogi with its current statistics you can amass comparable eHP while advancing your natural resistances vs most AV forms due to lack of parity while additionally using one fitting module to stack armour for something like 7120 Shields and 2950 armour.

Honestly if Gunnlogi were adjusted so that they could not stack armour as well as shields they'd almost be balanced tanks especially if hardeners were brought to parity. Moreover if Rattati adjusts tanks and adds one more On Rack Slot (primary tanking slot for tanks) then their hardeners would have to be adjusted anyway.

You actually mentioned one thing I am really mystified by. Blasters, traditionally high DPS CQC weapons have the lowest DPS of all turrets while missiles, traditionally low DPS high alpha turrets have the most DPS.

I used Large Missiles almost all time when I did play Dust 514 they still are the top tier of Dust's anti tank gameplay especially when maxed out with the appropriate skill points simply because of their prolific damage output in such a short amount of time.

They do this in such a manner that Armour HAV are all but invalidated on the field and after which time a 9 second reload speed allows you dish out another X000 DPS. A little over 3000 vs shields and 4500 vs armour.

Moreover as I have said I do not feel they are appropriate to be a proper MBT tank turret.

I do not see rapid fire missile turrets.....

or Here.

Nor do I see TTK vs one specific kind of vehicle at less than three seconds. Every single game here arguably has a better vehicle vs vehicle engagement dynamic than Dust.

That's not what I am saying at all.

I am suggesting that when a weapon like the missile launchers has the potential to dish out between 3000- 4000 DPS effectually nullifying one kind of vehicle type something is iffy.

Imagine if there were a Laser turret in this game that dealt 4500 damage per second to Shield HAV? Would that be fair? Probably not.

I know when it comes to tanks short TTK vs Multiple Damage Modded Shield Tanks (the only ones that can do this right now) is a complete turn off. It's not clever gameplay at all, you are not being cunning by using this kind of fit. You are simply doing something most of the time (Armour Tanked Damage Modding a Shield Tank) should not be possible.

I have did not start to notice how powerful it was until I was getting DPSed down by it in a Double Extender, Single Hardener fit which roughly should have a very high level of durability vs that kind of tank.

I have presented an argument in which I outline two main things. One is that the DPS of the Missile Turret is by comparison to the others much greater if you are willing to look at it vs Rails it is 3.5x that of any other turret.

This being the case when according to examples in EVE Missiles are not DPS weapons but instead alpha weapons firing in volleys, and even the smaller variants called rockets are in most cases no higher in terms of DPS than other turret types.

Secondly that it completely removes any semblance of competitiveness from one type of tank when it is arrayed against it with no equivalent counter to balance it out.

Perhaps instead of the idea to remove content from the game I might suggest an alteration to the content. Either way it is not something you would like to be quite frank. It would mean the Large Missile Launcher would have to be adjusted in such a manner is that other turrets become competitive with it.

Large rails has turned into a hard mode sniper rifle a little AOE is due.

I wonder how many kills rail turrets AOE have caused after the first nerf to come to the decision of completely eliminating splash damage.
With the lack of mobility of large rails a little AOE is needed, more to destroy equipments than to kill infantry.
If CCP care about people camping nodes from safe spots, they should protect nodes with barrages like they did on manus peak map, not eliminate a vital feature of a turret.
