ive noticed that the Large Missile has the worst fitting out of all the turrets, by far. I have tested that with Level 5 Large Missile Fitting op. Vs. Large Rail with no fitting op, the Large Missile gets a measly +1 CPU over the rail. (Both At proto level) while still costing more PG. Why is this? The large rail is better in most cases, except against armor tanks, and even then the rail is likely to win.
The Large missile needs a PG requirement reduction to be significantly lower than the rail, but keep the CPU the same. This way, the Missile costs the most CPU, but the least PG, which is good for Cal tanks, the rail is middle ground, and then the Blaster costs the most PG, but the least CPU, good for Gal tanks.

That would be much better than what we have now

By that logic, the Large Rail of this game would have higher fitting costs than the Large Missile, in which the opposite is true for both PG and CPU. The Large Missile needs a fitting buff (small missiles too)

Except that they will now be the worst turrets by far if the numbers don't change... I'm seriously thinking that they need a reload time of between four and six seconds to be able to stay competitive...
I don't see why they are decreasing magazine size, total ammo, and RoF at the same damn time. All it needed was a RoF nerf to put its DPS in between Blasters and Rails....

That is another concern. The Large Missiles of the future will completely suck. Horribly. Not only will you not have the alpha DPS to destroy other tanks, but you also have less damage in the mag, as well as less reserve ammo. Meanwhile, the rail, which is already better than missiles in 90% of all situations, is getting a buff in 2 of those areas. Wtf?

That's probably not going to happen, and even if it did, the Large Missile is going to be the worst turret in the game. It will not be able to kill vehicles as effectively as a rail or a blaster due to having to reload 2 times to even take down a tank. (That's a rough estimate going off of the new HP values with Proto fit tanks) They will need a 4 second reload as stated above to even be competitive.

I would rather it be less damage per magazine with a faster reload, than the huge damage per magazine with super long reload we have now.
If I remember correctly from the spreadsheet, Rattati had no intention of giving a reload buff tho. It's going to be smaller mag, same reload.

Well I was speaking more on my personal opinion, I haven't really dissected what he's doing with the missiles. I just want to be able to run armor without being instaganked by a missile tank, but I also want missiles to remain viable. Ya know?
I get you. But, in all honesty the current missiles would be fine against the next armor tanks with a Rof nerf don't you agree? Everything else should have been kept the same

Everything else should have been kept the same Maybe also a small reduction to reload time. That way it can deal an amount of damage during a firing+reloading interval that sits between the damage dealt of the firing+cooldown interval of the hybrid turrets. Otherwise in any prolonged fight (especially since seeing that it would take one reload cycle of the current missile launcher against the proposed EHP values), the missile launcher will get far behind on damage dealt when it starts to reload.
From first glance at the new Armor fits, even armor will require a reload unless it's a Regen oriented fit or you get half your mag into the weak spot, especially considering I've seen Pokey's dual tanked Maddie and it looks beastly. All proto, one CPU mod..

All proto, one CPU mod.. Haha that actually got published? I was just dicking around. Oops. But yeah I mean I see it like this. No one wants to die in 2 seconds because they got instaganked by a Missile tank. No one wants to die because they have to deal with a 10 second reload because they didnt instagank the enemy tank. So why dont we still make it a high alpha weapon, but go under the assumption that its going to take more than one salvo to drop someone, but with a more reasonable reload time? People will have time to react, and the attacker doesnt get totally boned if they fail to kill it in a single go. I guess my point is....less damage per magazine, but it reloads a lot faster.
I'm fine with that, hell, I'm fine with anything as long as it's viable. It's the only turret I've used since Chrome, I'll always use it. I just need it to be competitive.

I hear ya brother, I love missiles too, use them all the time. But it also really sucks getting instakilled simply because Missiles **** armor so badly. I think what will really set missiles apart is that even if that first volley doesn't kill them, it's going to dump a ton of damage onto them with their hardener down, which is going to eat a huge chunk out of their eHP. The missiles then reload fairly quickly and now the Missile tank starts the rest of the engagement with much higher eHP than the enemy tank. It's not an instakill, but it still serves well as an ambush weapon.
Well, when you post up your numbers after you crunch them I'll be sure to look at them. I like they way your going with this.
