Why gimp something that does what of is suppose to do? Reducing damaging, range and rate of fire should be enough. Limiting the AoE is taking away from there purpose. In any MMO that you play AoE hits a wide area for low damage, it is also a form of crowed control

Sorry for any miss spelling and so on using a iPhone and dust forums on he iPhone isn't user friendly.

so u agree damage should be nerfed then

"Reload" function needs to be added to bring it in line with other turrets

1.5-2.0 secs delay/"reload" between shots
rails have a 2.0-2.5 sec shot interval

A better solution is to make all missiles slow moving ballistic projectiles. This would make it much more difficult to hit ranged targets with them and would act as an effective maximum range. Skiliing into a missile turret speed skill would increase the missiles travel speed and thus their range (it would also reduce their arc). No damage or AoE nerf needed.

Damage does needa nerf and damage mods also need to be fixed since you can add as many as you want without them having any backlash. AoE needs to stay the same though with reduced range and rate of fire.

Hmm. I thought a 2.6m blast radius WAS AOE. Looks like you will need to find a new flavor of the month.

Lol I'm AV. I have a railgun tank. You seems to not understand. Now missiles are worthless along with scout suits and breach AR. The point of this thread, CCP doesn't know how to nerf something unless they make it worthless. On a side note thanks for making tanks and dropships worthless and easier for me to farm by removing the splash damage CCP. Cater to the scrubs more and make the game easier.

gizmo reading over the changes i disagree u actually seem to get more AoE than reduced.
hear me out

missiles shot pretty straight before with large splash and damage with adding "dispersion" aka spread ur missiles wont actually be that straight anymore but more spread out so u actually are gaining more AoE.
they would have to reduce the splash damage a bit since the missiles are now shooting over a wider area because now u run the risk of splash damage from each missile overlapping thus making a wider killzone since before missiles all were somewhat straight the overall splash zone would not be large

that said if u think nerfing missiles is catering to scrubs idk wtf game ur playing considering the only thing u see are missiles which take no skill to aim unlike blasters or rails and would OHK anything with splash alone.......

Had my breach forge out and was facing Ted this morning. The range his splash damage was hitig was less than normal. Secondly got off 2 breach volleys before I lost half my armor since the splash is now littler.

because AoE is too awesome. that is the reason there isn't a rocket launcher for dropsuits.
they want people to use every gun. not just 1. a reason for missile tank nerf is because tanks are the only good thing to skill into everything else seems like a waste of skill points.
they nerfed every AoE option in the game. explosives are now fewer, grenades were beaten to hell. forge guns, swarms, and rail guns were all nerfed.
it seems like they don't want AoE in the game. the idea of "skill free kills" might ruin the game and they are partially right. running against 36/0 dropship pilots. 50+ tank pilots. it really gets people pissed off when they skilled something they wanted to do when one is clearly the best option.

Personally, I wouldn't have minding them just changing the damage and range of missiles and leaving the blast radius alone.

IMO I think they only should have nerf the small missile turrets, and not the large. Id be the first to say, there is nothing like driving around in a saga with pretty decent shields, one or two shotin' people. But that is way OP. and hey a dropship is now a "dropship".

Saddly, this makes me question the Dev's ideas for th game. An easy way to test out nerfs and buffs would have been to just apply a little nerf or buff at a time till it feels about right. That away it is not overly buffed or overly nerfed. CCP hat to say but your skill of trying to balance out anything is very poor. Take things slow and add little changes not big changes like this. Look what has happened in the last major changes, the breach at is worthless and no one never uses it now. Scout suit is almost as worthless and not worth using. Now missiles are worthless.
