So I've been a secondary gunner on other players' HAVs a fair number of times and this is something I've noticed. The secondary turret on top of the main turret doesn't have the 360 degree turn radius that it looks like it should, it only has 180 degrees on the right side of the tank. Is this Working As Intended, an unreported bug, or covered in the in the patch notes, "Known Bugs: Vehicle's Secondary turrets may clip into the main turret"? |

No, it hasn't been fixed. Honestly, they should let the top turret do 360 degree turns and remove the frontal one. |

I agree, it would a make a lot more sense to give it full rotation, though I am fine with the the front one being there.
This still doesn't answer my question, Did CCP intentionally limit the turret to 180 degrees, or is it an unfixed bug? |

I don't mind the 180 turning radius but limiting it to the right hand side of the top turret is weird. I should be rotated to center of the front, much like the the lower front turret. |

Actually, I'd like if more if it was a 270 rear facing turret. That way the front turret would cover the front and the top turret would cover the rear and sides. I think that it would be much more usefull than the 180 to the right that we have had for the last two builds. |

I dunno about that, often Tank vs Tank battles happen head on, I want to have the full force of my weapon systems shooting straight ahead. Now a 270 degree turret on top with the blind spot directly behind the tank...I'd be ok with that. |

Its working as intended. It can look 180 degrees in anydirection in correspondance to the main turret. So if the main turet looks all the way left, you would be able to aim at the front of the tank at a wide radius. |

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Since this was done deliberately I must say that I really disagree with it.
To me at least, the secondary turrets are support weapons, to handle secondary threats that the driver doesn't have time (due to equipment limitations) to deal with, for example, defending against suits rushing to get in range of AV grenades or REs. Or Discouraging an enemy Heavy from leaving cover long enough to get a shot off. |

Well thats fine but it still feels weird that it's only on the right side of the main turrets. |
