I'm another one who agrees Missiles were OP before, but it needs to be said that the nerf was too much - particularly on Large Turrets. |

Yes, and right now, with Missiles, they CAN'T do that job.
At least not with Large Missile Turrets. |

NOW LET THE BUTTHURT FLOW THROUGH YOU!!!!
Caldari Railguns are still effective.
Better range than Blasters too.
And Missiles - at least the Large Turrets - are about due for a buff now. |

I mean I've been running logi since the nerf, and have on many occasions crossed the street right infront of a missile tank without any care in the world, as I knew I was safe from him, sure he tried to do something, but it was kinda pointless.
Large rails are probabily fine now, they do their AV job, and can snipe.
Large blaster are scary things, as long as someone doesen't have a forge gun handy to 2 shot the tank.
Large missiles are a laugh now unless you drive an LAV right in front of the thing.
and small turrets? may as well not even exist.
Small Missile Turrets are relatively effective against infantry, actually.
Not totally useless against other HAVs either. A Blaster/Missile or Railgun/Missile HAV is actually a decent anti-tank fitting. They just need a target that's predictable enough and large enough to hit reliably, and HAVs fit the bill nicely. LAVs can be decent targets as well. Throw in a Hybrid to strip the shields, and the Missiles tear the armour apart pretty nicely.
And if you can get a downward angle on infantry (like you get automatically from being on level ground with the top-mounted turret), then you've got a pretty easy low-damage splash shot and a decent chance at landing a direct hit for some real damage. |
