Yes people do sometimes get killed by them, but those persons are usually doing something very silly.
I was a sniper poking just out of cover in a skirmish match. Enemy had hacked a rail turret across the road close to the next objective and ran off. I saw someone run up to it and start using it, in clear view of me. I zoom in, line up the shot, and the guy cancels out of the turret and moves away right as I'm about to pull the trigger. I hit the turret. Before I can so much as take two steps to move behind cover, less than five feet away, that rail turret killed me.
I can't say much about their 'intelligence', since they do what they're supposed to and shoot at most vehicles just fine and leave infantry alone unless said infantry makes a mistake, like how I did, but their precision is definitely fine. The best buff these things could get is possibly an HP buff for the ones in the redline, as a sort of last resort defense, or to just flat out be placed in better locations. And you're right, a lot of these things are in damn ****** spots. |

I think the thing is less that the blaster and missile turrets are less accurate and more that those turrets begin firing as soon as you're in 'field of view'. So you can actually see those turrets lining up the shot, but the rail installation has a charge up time before it fires each shot, not to mention it will one-shot most infantry, so it only seems more accurate than the other two. |

So you can actually see those turrets lining up the shot, but the rail installation has a charge up time before it fires each shot, not to mention it will one-shot most infantry, so it only seems more accurate than the other two. no as soon as you fire if it is facing you it will automatically align and kill you, while a missile and blaster installation will miss the first few shots before becoming accurate, it is fairly obvious if you are clearing turrets from any map in a tank
I don't normally drive tanks so I can't say anything about that, but I know using a forge gun the installations usually hit pretty close. I generally have missiles flying right over my head as I duck down behind a hill or the blaster turret trying to make a hole through the hill where I would be within two or three seconds. It could shoot differently against vehicles and infantry for all I know, but that's my experience with them. |
