I was just in a map not 5 minutes ago, and an enemy was in a railgun emplacement and he could shoot us infantry from point blank range, we were literally trying to hack the emplacement standing up against it and we were getting shot. Is this normal??? I have not had this happen before. |

yes and because the settings are not correct, his body goes inside the turret when he uses it. the only way to take care of it is to kill it. |

very normal, but it's wrong. the body disappearing is a glitch. as for the turret being able to pan that low, i dunno. seems wrong though. prolly also glitchy
you mentioned trying to hack it. were you actually able to start the hack? cuz in my experience when there's somebody in there, you can't even attempt the hack. you hold O and nothing happens. so if you were actually hacking you may have been getting shot by someone in another turret. (though the railgun turrets are still fuckt even if that is what was happening) |

Yeah you are right, we couldn't find him to shoot him and we couldn't hack it either. We were right next to it when it fired in the general area over our heads and we died whenever he shot at a target. Not sure how we got hit unless it was from close proximity to the turret blast or something but that seemed kind of ridiculous. |

one tip to deal with a railgun turret, get a swarm launcher and dumb fire all your vollys right at the middle of the thing, it will die very quickly chances are the gunner will die with it as well. |

Dumbfire has a chance of hitting the bloody installation, at least... and it's actually a valid tactic if you are brain-dead enough to get too close. |

yeah just let me run over to this supply depot, checking suits orbital strike suit not found :P
only dumb fire at them if your locked missiles are going to hit terrain, or if you want to get the gunner with surprise swarm buttsex |

Also you can lock on if you get yourself higher ground than the turret if your are even or below it just won't hit that is why beld said dumb fire on it. |

dumb fire rof is higher, so at point blank range it has better dps. Not often used at such a range though.
The Rail turret eating people and shooting them out the top may not be a glitch. The turret looks like a gunner could sit inside it, the other turrets don't.
Infantry(heavy maybe not) at close range should be able to circle rail turret faster then it can track, useful for dumb firing swarms to kill it. Should be less then clip unless militia swarm, hard to miss if target fills screen.
It shouldn't be able to target right at base, blaster can't and its the close in weapon. |
