I would be happy if missile turrets had the ability to lock on to vehicles with around 5% of the swarm launcher's tracking abilities. Missile turrets are Caldari tech after all; not primitive Minmatar duct-taped sticks and stones. |

All missile turrets in the current iteration of the game are Caldari. Ergo, according to lore, Caldari missiles are better than Minmatar missles. But for the sake of balance they're really not. |

It's ok. I just enjoy reminding you that you that Minmatar < Caldari. :p |

Funny, because minmatar stuff is superior to caldari in function, without all the use of fancy technology
Winmatar duct-tape wins again huh? |

Also, give them more range! I remember back when I could fire my missiles over the mountains, switch to the map overview, and watch them fly off the map. If not 'infinite'-range, then give them range comparable to railguns. Railguns will always have more accuracy at range than missiles, as well as near instant dealing of damage. I hate firing at enemies that appear in range but then having my missiles explode in the air in front of them.
I also want to suggest giving missiles lock on abilities with reduced tracking than swarms against vehicles and small flight correction on dumbfire to hit infantry easier, as currently my salvos fly directly past their suits at close to medium range so I either have to resort to splash damage (which is terrible, unless buffed!) or try aiming slightly off-target to hit my target.
These current missiles are almost liking giving us a Javelin missile, except you tell us to fire it like an RPG because it can't actually lock targets and its guidance system is broken so there won't be any flight correction towards its target.
Either rename missile turrets to rocket turrets and bring in real missile turrets, or let me bring a Javelin into Dust! Because it sure as hell beats Dust's 'missiles'.
Edit: Here's another suggestion. Allow missiles to detonate at certain ranges, such that if the dropsuit your reticle is on is 15m away, instead of having the missiles fly past his head, they detonate 15m into their flight (which is where your target is at as well) and deal their splash damage. That would solve a major issue which missiles currently have against infantry.
Limited tracking on vehicles is ok. Tracking on infantry on the other hand would make missile turrets OP. Unless missile turrets took a huge damage nerf; but that would make them pointless against vehicles. |
