Pilot Archive

Its been said before, I'll say it again... turrets should not turn with the ship! When the ship turns the turret should stay stable until it reaches the limit of its motion. Make it optional if necessary, but as it is now its very difficult to hit anything in a turret unless the pilot makes the ship a sitting duck.

This should be a priority along with POB enhancments (though I know its not as easy to code.) The poor performance of POBs is due to a large part because of the current turret controls. Having better components helps, but not if you still can't hit anything.

Err so you want auto lockon or something?

Turrets work fine you just need practice and skill to use them.

Maybe you should tell your pilot to stop turning so much.

Erm, you wanna fly in a straight line in a ship with a hitbox that big? Screw that. Gymballing turrets is perfectly reasonable. Its not an autolock by any stretch.

Yeah, gymbal turrets like Planetside has.

But I'll try some of the other suggestions like having the pilot go AFK while the ship gets pummelled.. brilliant.

• Let us sit inside the turret not outside so we can minimize the freakin lag.


• Far better everything for pob components (in the works right now)


• Dont zoom into the POB ship if we zoom out in a turret and look up.


• Option to remove muzzle flash.

That would make POB ships more fun and more dangerous.

look turrets are like that to prevent POB ships from been DEATH machiens. I am an advocate of improving POB ships like they should be. you want a list of things to improve?

umeen lik ppl hoo uz JSF fiter shipz 2 pwn bcuz they kant cumpeet wit reel pilots?

Why shouldn't 3 or 4 guys in a POB be a death machine? I guess then you MIGHT need more than 1 guy to kill one.

exactly my adv X wing fields more blaster firepower than a POB can field. I think the upgrade to POB guns still inadequate should be more in range of5-7k damage with normal crafted vs stats
