Has anyone here put points into turret skills? It seems stupid to me that the person calling in the vehicle requires skills to fit the weapon, but that person may be piloting/driving and not manning the gun.

Perhaps there should be separate skill trees for people who want to man turrets v. people who want to pilot vehicles that have them.

I don't speak with authority - haven't bothered to put any skills into vehicles. It seems silly to me that you would have to fight several matches to field a single vehicle. If I was a mercenary (and not just playing for fun), why would I ever spend more money on a match than I could potentially make?

Just an observation here, but for the past 3 builds, I've basically only EVER seen small missile turrets on tanks, dropships, and LAV's. Aside from the base variants, no one seems to use blasters or railguns, they are entirely suboptimal compared to missile turrets. Blasters require pinpoint accuracy, which makes no sense at all when you consider depleted uranium rounds fired from a 50 cal turret cause a kill vacuum, meaning that you only need to shoot in the general area of infantry to cause some pretty nasty damage (and, future...FUTURE!!!). Blasters should have an almost cylindrical area that they cause damage in, with the damage increasing the closer you shoot at the target. This would make them a much more effective weapon, especially on something like a dropship or LAV that's always moving around.

I'm not really sure what to do with Railguns as I virtually NEVER use them because no one EVER fits them, on anything, ever. I just wanted to voice my opinion that either missile turrets are way too good, or the other too are way too underwhelming. It's kind of silly even having the option to put anything but missile turrets on your vehicles right now, and I kind of giggle when I see them, personally.
