Been playing with a heavy lately and messing with HMGs and Forges. While playing with a blaster on my LAV I couldn't help but want a HMG style turret over the blaster. With LAVs the combat is mostly with infantry in more CQC style combat then with HAV and Dropships and so I feel a more suitable weapon should be designed for them.
I suggest having the same style crosshair and spray as the HMG, but take away the zoom and recital display of the small turrets and have it basic and open. You could almost make this the first small turret that can fire from a 3rd person view
Anyother feed back on this idea is welcomed |

There are rumors that auto-cannons will work like this |

The blaster is just a pseudo hmg, use it. |

No.
Railguns and Blasters are to piracies for things like Dropships and LAV. Now HAV are slower and can allow for more alignment and aim for those types of turrets, But Im looking for a short range weapon on LAVs |

The blaster is extremely short range that can be sprayed like an hmg/smg |

The autocannon turret would be the hmg for vehicles. The description even calls the hmg a personal autocannon.
If EvE is any guide(it may be, but ground weapons are different enough it may not follow EvE) the autocannon would be longer range then the blasters. In EvE the optimal range was shorter but the falloff was much more gradual on the autocannons relative to the blasters, so they could still be used at longer range.
The autocannons should have a ridiculous rate of fire, so if the accuracy falls off at range they will almost be like a area of effect weapon from the spread. Like a belt fed shot gun. So, I think what you wanted is already in the works. I would like to see it soon though.
The blaster is pretty accurate, that makes it hard to aim when bouncing compared to a weapon with more dispersion.

This idea gets a like from me. There should HMG turrets for all vehicles, in my opinion. Hopefully autocannons will work similarly, as has been written here. |
