Missiles are overpowered imo because they are an all range weapon. You can snipe with missiles from one end of the map to the other causing mass damage. No weapon should ohk anything, which is why I've decided to use a blaster turret ^_^ (4hk instead :D)

The fact that no one uses anything other than missile turrets unless they are intentionally handicapping themselves is a good indicator that they are OP. Spending 5 minutes USING a missile turret pretty much seals the deal. If you've spent ANY amount of time behind a MT you know they are ridiculously easy to use and insanely powerful. I don't see how it's even up for debate and any argument I see otherwise just looks like entitled nonsense to me.

I specked into rails and blasters like a fool. Got pwned by missile turrets and CCP didnt fix it them. SO I decided to speck into missile turrents . Since I am a good sniper and can snipe people across the map I decided it was the best thing to do. So I am gonna sit back and snipe people across the map with my missile turrent till enough people cry/complain/whine about it .

it's good that people do this. it gives CCP an idea of what is broken in the game.

of course CCP doesn't know how to balance anything. they will most likely nerf the spash damage and the range to make them completely useless like the rail gun.

XT-1 Accelerated Missile Launcher:
Direct Damage: 455.0 HP
Splash Damage: 260.0 HP
Blast Radius: 5 meters

Using two 20% damage modules gives around 35% damage increase, and Turret skills gives another 20% damage increase. their is 55% more damage on turrets. LetGÇÖs run the numbers again.

Damage Modifiers included:
Direct Damage: 705.25 HP
Splash Damage: 403.0 HP

This is a beta what are you talking about sigh another key wasted to a kid.
We need proper info this is what a beta is for

I've posted about forgeguns being too good at everything. Had a guy earlier take out a sica, from across the map, and then kill me after I bailed on the dying tank. All In about 5-6 seconds.

FG's need a range and splash reduction, it really should be a close up ambush weapon against tanks, not a long range tank sniper that can't be countered, that also excels at WTFowning infantry across the map.

While I agree the splash from missles is a problem. I find the bigger problem is the unlimited ammo and no cool down for firing them. Every other weapon in the game has a finite supply of ammo while vehicle ammo is infinite with no cool down. As for the forge gun comments the same logic can be applied. The forge gun has a charging mechanism and a finite amount of ammo.

TLDR: Not my problem

Pretty sure turret proficiency is 3% per level for a total of 15% dmg increase, not 20%.

Also, I think you are quoting the information for the XT-1, not the XT-1 Accelerated model. The accelerated models have a .08 instead of 1.6 cycle but lower damage. The accelerated XT has the same stats for the lower power AT-1 which I believe is 420 direct and 240 splash. So to clarify, the numbers I see are 630 direct with Turret Prof and Dmg Mods. Still substantial, but not exactly 705. Please feel free to correct me if the stats in the store show differently, but missile turrets are OP enough they don't need exaggerated.
