Too few people seem to be talking about the glaring flaws with missile turrets. go a few rounds with any missile turret and tell me there is no problem with missile trajectory and speed. really.. try it... when you shoot a missile out of a launcher it should go the direction you shot it in.. this is real world physics here.. the velocity of the vehicle should never affect the direction the missile comes out of the tube.. ever. in the game the movement of the vehicle some how affects the direction its shot.
the speed is too slow also. even when you have the accelerated missiles, it still goes pretty slow.

Large turrets. oh man. i haven't seen a large turret in months.. they are extinct (besides installations.. those are just fodder for tanks.) even if your shot does make it the damage inflicted is a joke compared to the other turrets. .. I remember when missile turrets were just as formidable as any other turret. it was balanced and fun.. I don't understand the Steep nerf..

dropships.. really? slow, made of glass (yes even with a great fit), no chaff, missile death inevitable, unrealistic flight mechanics (was better a few builds ago), physics are bogus (this goes for all of the physics in the game.) you can barely tap, BARELY TAP a wall and explode. (shield tank taking a TON of damage from a tiny bump in the road, but when it goes off a mountain gets no damage.) I will give kudos for the afterburner.
and give the pilot wp for people spawning and an eject button.

please I am encouraging conversation on this one. I want people to talk about this.

Try this:
Stand on a car going 40 km/h (no, seriously, dont)
Throw a rock perpendicular to the vehicle's direction, at a friend standing still next to the road
Observe the trajectory of the rock: The motion of the vehicle does affect the launched object.

What is missing is proper tracking/guidance computers, that can offset the vehicle's motion (direction and speed), and indicate where a shot will land.
(This of cause cannot compensate for the driver making a sharp change in direction or speed miliseconds before you push the trigger ... )

A decent middle-ground would be to have some launchers use higher CPU rating, but include better guidance; this way, if your gunner is crap, you can help him out by outiftting a more costly weapon.


Also, if you want to make suggestions/requests/feedback, I suggest to use the Feedback/Request forum.

Oh and missiles on a dropship can still hit the edge of the ship. all it takes is one disgruntled blueberry to ruin your day.

I would like a light that says it is safe to land (speed of craft) and or a hit x to land button.
WP for spawns would be nice also.And a multiplier for staying in the air near objectives would be nice also.

one thing I would like to see for large missile turrets is actual missiles, you know you can dumb fire them but they can lock vehicles. Add to this a target painting piece of equipment that a foot soldier can carry that the missiles travel to the target of when in line of sight and you can make a much lower DPS weapon(like missiles in EVE) That has a very important place on the battle field.

target painter should be like the one in half life It missiles go where you point it in real time.

also missiles would have to have a range of no greater then 500m to prevent redline precision strikes with a tank.

If anyone could mock up some of the onscreen visuals for what I just suggested that would be AWSOME!(If you are in my corp there is isk in it for you)

Not even, this will happen to me even if I'm driving forward, and a lo of times it won't exit the barrel, but in a space next to it. And using them in drop ships are just impossible, I feel that the trajectory is completely random while in motion.
