Aside from the activate instant boosters mission, it is the least organically designed mission in the daily roster.
Where almost every other mission in dust can happen as a result of trying to do normal gameplay (or simply just paying more attention to doing a specific thing), the 'kill assists on turret' mission is something you have to go well out of your way to do... and then to complicate matters you have to not only 'do' something specific (be in a vehicle or man a turret & shoot at people), you have to actively NOT do what would be a normal result of these actions (intentionally not kill enemies and instead allow allies to finish them).
Whenever I see these pop up on my roster, even as a vehicle user I go "welp, that's a mission I'm not getting done today", or when they pop up in the middle of otherwise enticing 'complete x daily missions' they really complicate things. I just spent a few hours trying to get one done on an alt, and due to being in the higher tier bracket proto av is called out as a response to even mlt vehicles.
I hate this mission. Vet's cant do it, Noobs cant do it. The actions required to perform it require actively working against 'normal' gameplay. Please re-design it to something like "Kill x people while in a vehicle or manning a turret".

Or when you get multiples that gate you out of something else.

Correct about installations, not sure about vehicles - it seems super finicky.

So you're just going to ignore everything said about the mission being poorly designed and respond with "BUT IT CAN STILL BE DONE THOUGH LOL" or "BUY DIFFERENT MISSIONS LOL". If you're wondering why I responded to you the way I did, it was to highlight just how idiotic your irrelevant non-discussion was. If you have something intelligent to say I'd be happy to hear it otherwise go away, I mean didn't you vow you were done this game because matchmaking upsets you?

Dear god how. ADS seems like the worst possible option for it.

Your response to everything said about the mission being poorly designed is to promptly ignore it and shout "BUT IT CAN STILL BE DONE THOUGH LOL" or "BUY DIFFERENT MISSIONS LOL" or quite simply "GET GOOD LOL". If you're wondering why I responded to you the way I did, it was to highlight just how idiotic your irrelevant non-discussion was. There were no counterpoints presented or additional information brought up, just someone who throws tantrums about not winning cpm pulling a drive-by fecal vomit. If you have something intelligent to say I'd be happy to hear it otherwise go away, I mean didn't you vow you were done this game because matchmaking upsets you? Still waiting for your end of the discussion from what I've brought up.
I see no reason to make a more detailed or informative response than my original message to a blindingly idiotic initial response from you.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't renege on that because I genuinely want to hear what you're counter argument is.
"I'm just going to ignore everything you've said about the mission being poorly designed and rebut by going "WHY DONT U BUY NEW ONES LOL" "IT MAY BE BADLY DESIGNED BUT U CAN STILL DO IT LOL"".
What argument have you raised that needs to be addressed here? Your response is the equivalent of going "sure, the weapon is incredibly overpowered but you can still kill people that use it, which means it's fine". It's so dumb it isn't worthy of addressing.

Whatever makes you feel better, Mina. Next time just say, "I don't like you and I'm willing to ignore anything you say because of your name" and I'll just log onto one of my alts so we can have a proper discussion like men.
If you're going to ignore my points and try to circumvent discourse, why should I waste my time addressing yours?
Here's a flowchart for logical exchange of information
You're trying to circumvent my position that the mission is poorly designed by simply going "buy new missions" or "it can be done though". That doesn't actually address anything. It's meaningless non-discussion.

Aeon Amadi wrote:You basically just said that it was difficult and that you don't like it because it's difficult. There's really not much to go off of here so I provided you with a way that works efficiently, at least for me, and then provided you an alternative.
I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear but you're not leaving me many points to go off of as I can't counter-argue personal preference of what is considered challenging.
But I'm not arguing personal preference, my position isn't rooted in an opinion it's rooted in the fact that the tasks required to accomplish the mission are counter-intuitive. I'm sorry you cant deal with well argued points.

Username Alpha wrote:Silly it may be, but it didn't seem incredibly hard to do when I needed a tenth mission done for a 1-day booster reward, and I don't normally even use vehicles. I hopped in someone's tank and got a couple kills and a couple assists, played a few games where no one was tanking, then decided to hop in one myself and drove up to the bridge (where an objective battle was taking place) and got plenty of action.
Question for the OP: do you oppose the infantry kill assist missions equally vehemently?
Infantry kill assists happen easily and organically, all maps are considerably more open to infantry than they are to vehicles as well. They're something that you can accomplish just by paying a bit of attention if anything. Kill assists with a turret take a few extra steps and then unlike the regular infantry missions which also include kills, require you to not finish the action that you've stepped out of your way to do.
It's not hard to rack up a huge number of normal kill assists in a match, it can be incredibly difficult to rack up a huge number of kill assists specifically from turrets.
