If no one else does I'm already theorycrafting large turrets for racial parity.

Once we have the hulls finalized and the turrets we have redone all I have to do is math.

I believe a healthy increase to Railgun fitting, will make it more of a glasscannon.

But you cant just compare the 3 shots, the applied dps is much reduced, due to heat f.ex. Take a special look at the columns marked as KPI, they coincide with the "best to worst" design philosophy below.

would rather not post these for all the world to see, but here are some PC tank fights from last week. Im running test fits in both videos to judge their competitiveness.

you guys tell me where the maddy's are. tell me where the missiles are.

i saw dual brick tanked gunnlogis, dual hardener gunnlogis and dual damage mod gunnlogis. thats it

they where designed to be a hard counter to armor, and i always assumed that laser turrets would be OP vs shields whenever they come out

I'd shorten up those ranges by a lot. Blasters shouldn't be sitting THAT far back.

It works for infantry, why shouldn't it work for us?

There is no "rational discussion" with people that insist on making vehicles useless when they don't use them.

I've made two spreadsheets already. That's not constructive?

1. Does it do 400damage every second for 5seconds? Yes or no?

what is your feeling on blaster ROF, not DPS, just feeling.

do you generally like the

dum dum dum dum dum (current)

or you prefer

dum...dum...dum...dum more like an APC turret from other fpss

or dum.....dum......dum like a tank from other fpss



;) vote now

I still don't want them to be anywhere close to a rail, there is a sweet spot there, i think


also missiles, i feel the rof is way too high right now

If you don't like what I have to say, then just block me on here, problem solved. You're essentially covering your ears and saying "la la la I can't hear you."

My honest opinion on the large blaster: just make it more geared towards fighting infantry compared to the other large turrets.

You might think that lowering its ROF will make it weaker against infantry, but I feel that that won't give you the desired effect. Lowering its ROF means increasing its damage. Now you get a large blaster that can one-shot most infantry while still maintaining a decent ROF (actually, the perfect balance between ROF and direct damage: not too much direct damage like the large railgun where you're dealing too much damage and are losing ROF, but just enough direct damage to one-shot most infantry and boasting a higher ROF). You will forever see balance issues with the current design of the large blaster.

Instead, just give it slightly lower DPS than the rest of the large turrets and remove its dispersion. Now it's a precision weapon which infantry should fear in the hands of a skilled pilot, but its lower DPS will put it at a natural disadvantage against other HAVs with a large missile or railgun.

If you really want a Gallente AV large turret, then all I can say is, you'll have to come up with a new design. Others have already talked about this and have been giving good feedback on. Probably the best one I like is a plasma cannon-like large turret. Low ROF like a railgun, but higher direct damage due to it having a limited effective range and a slower projectile travel time. There's your Gallente AV large turret. Keep the current large blaster as geared more towards anti-infantry.
