Ted Nugget SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 86	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:20:00 - [1] - Quote I wonder whether not they will hit where you aim when in a moving vehicle. They are so unpredictable it was almost to the point it was useless to use them cause its a pure luck shot to hit anything with them unless you are sitting still but then your just an easy target.. IMO missiles are a fail small turret would love to see them fixed in the next build as i might actually would use them
Harkon Vysarii Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 209	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:20:00 - [2] - Quote In EVE missiles are pretty sweet turrets its a shame they were so badly nerfed in Chormosome.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 328	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:22:00 - [3] - Quote there have been background ninja updates to help with this but small missiles are getting a buff so they have a larger splash range.. I think it might be more the large missiles.
Ted Nugget SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 86	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:23:00 - [4] - Quote yea i wasnt really referring to the damage and splash however it was nerfed pretty hard and supposed to be getting some kind of buff... i was just refering to the precision of the turret.... while moving at speeds the direction of the missile doesnt hit the target.... i didnt notice it with large turrets but for the past year it has been the same way so i am assuming it will be the same once again
Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 493	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:26:00 - [5] - Quote I've seen tons of vehicles own with proto missiles, I don't know why people don't use them more often. The only thing that really counts against them is the terrain glitch eating up the splash damage.
Harkon Vysarii Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 209	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:27:00 - [6] - Quote I hope not I wouldnt mind if the missiles themselves flew unpredictably its just the impossible nature of them to aim while moving since they spin off at very odd angles.
Ted Nugget SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 86	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:27:00 - [7] - Quote once again you guys are missing the point... they do not go where you aim when moving
Ted Nugget SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 86	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:29:00 - [8] - Quote if you are sitting still they go exactly where you aim... but the slightest movement will alter the path dramatically

I'm not exactly sure where I remembered reading this but moving vehicles are supposed to have weapon accuracy penalties just like how all the hand held weapons get more spread while moving. Best thing to really do is drive slower or go to a full stop. Part of that Dust Logic.

We will have to see if CCP/Shanghai did anything different for UpRinsing. Washed it all clean, as it were. Its one of the reasons I am not planning on Tanks anymore. Not worth it. Too much SP, we will see about the ISK and half the equipment doesn't work. Easy decision, actually. The new tanks look liked they will be much easier to kill. More points to be had for less cost killing tanks versus tanking.

Blasters however work very good
Donnerwerk The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 5	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:49:00 - [12] - Quote why would anyone think that its a good idea to put precision penaltys on moving vehicles? it's allready hard enough to aim while the driver is jumping over every damn hill.... blasters work nicely though
Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 494	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:52:00 - [13] - Quote Blasters are nice, but since I'm holding out for Minmatar LAVs, I'm hoping the gatling turrets come out at the same time too.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 328	Posted - 2013.05.06 08:57:00 - [14] - Quote you will have a long, long time there on that well over a year

On that day I'll proudly drive through the battlefield in my rusty bucket with wheels duct taped on.
Ted Nugget SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 86	Posted - 2013.05.06 09:09:00 - [16] - Quote TRUST IN THE RUST!
HOMMANDO Goonfeet 82	Posted - 2013.05.06 09:12:00 - [17] - Quote Ted Nugget wrote: once again you guys are missing the point... they do not go where you aim when moving Which is absolutely stupid. I can't tell if this is an oversight or a game mechanic, but it needs to be addressed. Other than their abysmal accuracy when fired from a moving vehicle, small missiles own and I don't see a reason to buff them too much. Large missiles on the other hand are complete garbage and barely out range blasters.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 2712	Posted - 2013.05.06 10:08:00 - [18] - Quote People who were at Fanfest have said that yes, Missile Turrets now fire where you aim them, instead of being influenced by the movement and rotation of the vehicle.

Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 498	Posted - 2013.05.06 10:17:00 - [20] - Quote For Dust 514 to be inspired by a bunch of devs probably sitting around and playing Halo, you'd think the LAV and LAV combat would be one of the things they'd get right on the first try.
