Because they don't track anything quite as fast maybe. If you sneak up on one, you can land about 3 or 4 shots of your own before it even looks at you. |

Because manning an installation is almost certain death.
Only in very specific situations do I ever do it.
I will never forget on my very first day I visited this forum, starving for any information about how to get better, someone commented on a thread about how only noobs man installations and quickly are dispatched.
Truer words were never spoken here as I learned, and I never forgot it.
I always assume, as I am about to kill a merc manning an installation, that they are new.

Anything that doesn't move requires a tank build to keep up with mobile, and turrets aren't designed to be useless, they're meant to take anything 1v1.
otherwise they wouldn't have so damn much HP and damage - it's basically a proto turrent.
you'll notice an installation tab in deployment - we were meant to get STD/ADV/PROTO deployable turrets, CRU's, and Supply Depots - but it never happened because CCP.

Rail installations are really only dangerous if a player is manning them. Last week I drove right up to an rail installation (literally pressed my side to it to get my blaster as close as possible) and when I started shooting, all it did was look down at me with it's barrel clipping through mine. It was an interesting scene, actually, as I tore it to pieces. I wonder if it had feelings, wondering "why are you doing this?" only being able watch as it's health slowly counted down to zero.

I only hop in installations when I see an easy looking tank.
Plenty of times Installation camping has earned me easy +150s.

with the nerf that lav's received I think that they should let us mount heavy weapons such as the Forge gun and Heavy machine guns, it'd also be cool if heavies could lug around the small turrets
I don't think this is out of the question and I don't think it would take too much to impalement this
who else would be up for it? it gives heavies and sentinels more versatility and imagine a heavy with missiles
not only would AV be more interesting and give balance to the whole tank situation but it would give more diversity to what heavies can do
the small turrets are pretty well balanced against infantry and don't have insane amounts of ammo
being able to detach a turret or attach your own heavy weapons to an LAV would be a really cool feature and it'd be something that I'd love to see
it might be a little too much for the devs maybe? but I am fully supporting this I think it would make dust a lot more lively |
