I discovered a long time ago that a large missile turret frees up enough PG to run a large shield extender and a large shield booster, but I figured they were too terrible on damage to be worth anybody's time. Well, yesterday I was stuck on a bridge and noticed my health steadily declining. I had the time to hit the booster, turn all the way around, and kill a blaster armor tank. When he died, I high tailed it out of there but was finished off by some swarms (my preferred exit was blocked at the time).
Was this a total fluke? Or are large missile turrets actually decent at busting armor tanks?
EDIT: Aaaaand I posted this from the wrong character :( |

Missiles do work well vs armor tanks.  |

I've noticed a lot more tanks running them lately, so I think so, yes.
That aside since you posted this in GD I'm assuming what you're saying is their OP and need a nerf which I agree with, NERF ALL THE THINGS!!! |

Missiles get a pretty good bonus against armor. Not many people use them though, because a rail tank can hit farther and decently hard against both armor and shield.
Grats on discovering that armor tanks are mortal and actually can be countered :D |

Grats on discovering that armor tanks are mortal and actually can be countered :D :D I'm a dropship pilot, so there is no spectrum when it comes to tanks. Either they are in the red line destroying me, or I'm on top of them destroying them. There really is no in between, so it was good to see that I could hold up in a fair fight. He even had the jump on me! |

The only downside to missile turrets is that they get more accurate as range decreases. This effectively gets accurate within a blaster's optimal range. A skilled Madrugar pilot with a blaster will eat any missile shield tank, and it only becomes 50/50 if their armor rep is on cooldown. |

Try hitting something that's moving. A small fraction of your missiles will make contact, and by the time (if it's a Madrugar) gets within blaster optimal range, you're still dead. |

Believe they fixed the hit detection/splash some on the large missile turrets as they were grossly nerfed pre-Chromosome. Nice to see them running around again. |

Yeah railguns get all the use. Missles have been overshadowed since they nerfed em 2 builds ago. |

The Armour Tank was probably running a cheap Blaster, with no damage mods, and staying well outside his own optimal.
A borderline competent Blaster Madrugar can absolutely demolish a Missile Gunnlogi without trying. |

Being militia locked I find my railgun tank just absolutely worthless against most armor tanks where as the missile turret I have access to fares much better and often winning against up to military grade armor tanks sometimes. |

Large Missiles are decent enough against armour tanks but they're useless against infantry, that's been my experience with them so far |
