Seriously, on a shield tank, they're not all that bad. 2-3 shots to kill most standard and militia tanks. |

not the only one
my good friend uses turrets non stop lol
i almost wonder if he has gotten any of his kills with his actual gun or just uses turrets all the time
lol but seriously it just depends on your style of game play
some people dont like sitting stationary for any period of time
others (like my friend) like to just be able to deal a lot of damage
I personally think
more people should hop on them if they see a vehicle or something headed their way
like you said they are great AV weapons
and can be essential to holding down an objective
but people like to do what they like to do
cant force someone to hop on one
even if they really should |

Only reason I use them on my dropship is because of the reduced pg drain, blasters are more useful but limit my fittings choice |

I have started using them on a Militia LAV upgraded to level 2 only. I am very impressed with their use, have got several kills and they are extremely good at laying out suppression fire. The enemy infantry ducks for cover when missiles start to explode all around them which gives your team mates time to advance and flank the enemy.
The infantry are however impossible to hit if you are shooting while in motion, stay still and keep a healthy distance and the enemy do not notice a missile is incoming before it is too late.
My only problem is that my fitted LAV cost 59k, and sometimes while I am firing the missile turret at the enemy a team mate jumps in, take control of my LAV and drives into the middle of the red dots which almost always ends with my death and my LAVs destruction with a loss of total 76k ISK as my driver outfit is 17k. If only my team mates could see that this is not a free starter LAV.
The damage is not very high and it is inefficient vs most non infantry except the free started LAV. I think it is good, has a good distance, have taken out snipers on some of the smaller ambush maps. Definitely longer range than a regular assault rifle.
I get more kills running regular assault or heavy, but it is fun and I believe the support/suppression role helps your team which in turn gets more kills. Maybe it helps with a higher level missile turret, better LAV and more damage modules.
The explosions leave dust and smoke in the air which obscures visibility, thus making it hard for the enemy to see and aim at your team mates while they move forward into position. |

Large missiles are useless. Small missiles can be used for additional firepower on a blaster tank but thats it. Killing infantry with them is allmost impossible. |

I sort of expected more people to spec into them since they ARE going to be fixed in the next build. |

Yes, and you should feel bad about it.
Blasters have better - DPS, Accuracy, Range
Rails have better - DPS, Accuracy, Alpha
The only thing they are best at is bashing crus at point blank range, and only by a few seconds. |

i don't see them being effective on anything but installations which are big non-moving targets, slash range need to but increased for them to be anywhere as good as blaster or rail for moving targets. |

i used them on my "screw around" tank fittings. to me, the large missile turret is great for taking out infantry. but it seems like i can't target anything over 100 meters. do the missiles detonate on their own after that distance or what? |

Yep,
They used to go all the way across the map in 1 giant blob almost instantly, you could snipe infantry with them.
10 guys behind a wall?
Shoot to the side of the wall, all 10 dead. |

Dude, get the methana, get a mic, call for a gunner, and drive around with a LAV that won't instantly die to AV.
To OP, I'm gonna take my alt into Large Missle Turrets. Even with their nerf, I think they will help a tanker who prefers maxed mobility like I do. spam missiles and run! |
