    Sure people say it can kill tanks and instalations pretty well, but it's utter pants at everything else. If your not using the fragmentary missles the AoE seems to be non existant. You can target a guy dead center aiming downwards and some how miss them entirely. Not even doing splash dmg to them.

    The worst is the small turret on top of the tank. For some reason when you fire the missle up there it basically goes in which ever dirrection the main turret is facing, almost ignoring your targeting entirely. Considering the blasters can aim 360 degree's, no matter which way the turret is facing it seems like a huge disavantage. Sure they don't heat up and the cycled missles have a decent RoF.. but I can litterly spam them into an enemy group and seemingly hit nothing.

    It's great that they can kill CRU's, Supply Depo's and the rare tank. But their utter pants at killing infantry and their the main threat of most tanks. People with AV gernades can casually walk up to a missle tank with little fear of being killed.....

    From what I've seen, blasters are the only consistant anti-infantry attachement, while railguns are the way to go for everything else..so no not really any use for missiles lol

    From my experience Large Missile Turrets are ok

    Small Missile Turrets should be replaced or ignored. Its sad when I prefer riding shotgun in a LAV because I don't wanna deal with the inaccurate pos that is a Small Missile Turret because my target is not moving but my turret feels I should shoot 15 meters in any direction but straight

    On this subject why do LRs even have a 56% accuracy rate when they are 100% accurate

    I don't even consider missile tanks a threat, as infantry. I've actually done a little jig in front of a missile tank for about 15 seconds and laughed while he tried to hit me. It must've made him pretty mad since he got out to try and shoot me. XD I didn't even bother to hack or destroy his tank after I killed him.

    And as for the LR accuracy... to be honest, I tend to forget the accuracy stat exists since it never seems to portray how accurate a gun actually is.

    I guess it all depends on which voice you're trying to hear.

    The other funny thing is if you level up missle turret skills, all you get are missle turrets. On other hand for some reason both Railguns and blasters are under hybrid turrets. You get 2 for 1, and both of them are pretty good. Blasters own infantry and railguns are a pretty good long range anti vehicle/instalition weapon.

    I know missles used to be OP, but now their just utterly lame. CCP definetly went over board with the nerf. It's funny to have a meta level 5 small turret blasting away at a starter scout suit and not even being able to take down it's shields.

    I danced with a missle HAV the other day was very amusing he just sat in one spot trying to get me I flux grenaded it to destroy its shields and then mass drivered it till I ran out of ammo so I dropped a nanohive and resupplied and carried on hitting it till a heavy with a FG stopped giggling and finished it. I got hit a few times but it just seemed to do pathetic damage and I watched missles go off 1meter away or less and nothing missles definatley need a buff.

    For the large missle launcher the frag missles are suposed to have a blast radius of 4 meters.. thats the same radious as a milita nano hive's bubble for refrence. It's a rather big bubble and yet I can't seem to get even splash dmg when the targeting reticle is dead center on a heavy standing still. Sometimes I wonder if the stats they list, and the actual splash dmg radius are different. It's almost like missles lost their splash dmg and only do anything on a dirrect hit now.

    I think the big problem is my missles do like 390 or so dmg to a dirrect hit, but like 90 in splash dmg. 90 dmg is kind of crap if you consider missles do like 50% dmg to shields and everything has at least some shields.
