I don't normally like to contribute on these Hotfix announcement threads, but Breakin is right, Derpty.
I am pretty accurate with small turrets, and the Blaster has always been a fave of mine. But the current blaster is helpful to the user ONLY when the vehicle driver is able (or aware enough) to HOLD THE VEHICLE still long enough for her small turret gunner to get enough of the dispersed rounds on the head and chest of the target-merc.
If you're the driver, and you simply swap seats to the small blaster, your results with the blaster are helped by the fact that your vehicle is standing still while you shoot.
For many others who try using the small blaster turret, the poor vehicle is twitching and doing the cha-cha while the poor blaster-gunner is trying her best to make her shots countGǪ.AARRGGH!!
"Different experiences", like Breakin statedGǪ
Overall, for the majority of the players who try using the small blaster turrets, I think the Echo adjustment IS really needed.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

I'd like to make what I think is one of the most important requests about Echo. 
This game is rich in features and efforts from its Devs,...
GǪ.Yet the typical PS3 player does NOT expect to have to LEAVE her game, and visit some detached internet Forum site, in order to read and learn about these incredible Updates (or, she feels it's too much of a hassle to do so when she's just logged in expecting to play her game.)
Most new players won't even know about "the Forum" until a month after they've struggled to understand the game.
 Warlords 1.0 Notes were the POOREST notes I ever remember in the game.
Since Warlords Notes were so "U-P", and Hotfix Echo seems so "O-P" enough to be considered a "Patch",.. can you put together a Notes narrative for Echo, and insert it IN THE UPDATES MENU?
It's unjust to players, and unjust to all the prolific effort you put into these changes, if you ask players to log into their game, then log out to have to visit a forum to get educated on the changes, and have to log back into Dust to finally start playing with a full understanding of what's different.

GǪSo this if finally Hotfix ECHO, huh...
I see a lot of good attempts to help some (presumed ignored) items get some interesting traction here:
 an HMG variant that can threaten vehicles, while the other variants are toned down a bit;
small blaster turret dps being more focused to create the threat that we should expect of it;
equipment being granted 'extra carry status' as the device that promotes Dust's "Win-by-Controlling-Map-Access" attitude, rather than the traditional "just try to kill everyone you see" mindset of those other fps games;
the decision to make an HAV progression/variant path that almost says "you can play autonomous player if you want, but if you want to skill into the more elaborate HAVs you're going to HAVE to have room in your vehicle for teammates" (I think this is another innovative decision Dust has made in the name of true "co-op" gameplay---Kudos, CCP).
If stuff like this is what CCP produces when they work with "more silence" about what they are doing,GǪ I hope they make lots more stuff using this method.
"Echo" seems like an update based more on an insight into our BEHAVIOR in the matches, rather than strictly on raw numbers and player-demandsGǪ and I think it's going to be a SUPERIOR success because of it.

 ! Wha--... CCP is still replying to these relentless posts?
CCP Rattati, I can't believe you're still diligently trying to respond to our so called "Feedback" remarks---this thread in 32 pages already, and the topic being condemned is a Hotfix that HASN'T EVEN BEEN GIVEN A COMMENCEMENT YET.
Of course it's mostly condemning stuff---LOL, can kind words and thanks ever last beyond 5 pages of any thread?
The only folks hanging around after Page-2 of congrats (and maybe a page or so of insightful observations) are driven folks who want to condemn something, or rewrite what you created so they've made it "obviously better", or get a refund on the ticket their double-parked Baloch received during the first part of your Announcment.
Rattati, just take a bow and stop responding. Go get a last cup of coffee, share a congratulations with your staff on what is at the least a champion step in the vehicle puzzle solution. Just reading the Hotfix notes on page 1 of this thread shows that you've bloody well earned top marks.
There are no real accolades and fruitful material left in these 30 + leftover pages.
None of this is useful until after the changes get going.
So now, YOU ought to just get going, ditch this thread. Time to grab a few fellas from the office---
---All of you pile into one car... Go get some Girls! 
I wouldn't be sitting around in this kind of feedback after-party---are you nuts?
