New AA Turret: T-Ray Tweet.

Pella · 2013-02-21, 09:12 AM

Now before anyone Jumps the gun and crys about adding more AA.

Think about it logically. These New turrets will be replacing certain Flak Turrets on towers and Bases.

What does this mean for Pilots? Less Flak covering the skys. I welcome these turrets as we already have a hard counter to A2A,G2A Missiles with flares.

You can have 100 Lock on's. And 1 flare counters them all. You cant do the same with flak.

Pilots should welcome these.

Missiles are cool, m'kay?

Can't wait to use one.

Pella, I wish every pilot was intelligent enough to figure that out instead of whining about missile spam.

This one looks really nice, and if they'll be replaced on the old turrets, then I'll love it.

I Can dig it. It will still be a death coffin.

I take it this will fire barrages of little lock on missiles?

lol I was just wondering would it fire all twenty missiles in one go too, cos if it only fires one then what's the point of the other 19 tubes?

Figment · 2013-02-21, 11:13 AM

Maybe it fires ten missiles at once? >.>

Swarm missiles would be a sight to see. But I'm near sure that wont be the case as those projectiles would have to be tracked.

Models are already ingame, here are some pics I just digged outta the files after seeing this post.

Heres the engineer turret, it used to have a tripod model but got removed

Heres the base turret one

You hear that... the sound of a million pilots crying out in terror...

Riekopo · 2013-02-21, 11:32 AM

Pilots will be even more screwed, great. One flare we can only use every half minute.

they need clouds in this game, weather, wind, etc!

They look cool but the question is will they do the same damage as the turrets that we have now. Looks dont take out air, damage and hitting the target is what makes them deadly.
