Hellfire turret worth it?

[Ziron]

I'm debating if losing 5 CIWS is worth 1 hellfire turret.

-positives:
more dmg(x7.5), less space(compare to 5 ciws), less total ammo consumption
-negative
big enough to take more space then upgraded planform(armored one), bigger then wall(need more space to build above it).

They can indeed shoot down enemy missiles.

Losing 5 CWIS is worth it if you have more than 5 CWIS to spare. The Hellfire Turret is a vastly improved CWIS that does crazy good damage, but it's best paired with other CWIS on missile duty.

Just keep in mind it's a very, very awkward 3x3-ish buildling that's hard to accommodate unless you plan around it due to its size, so be prepared to edit your Outpost.

Yes

Cwis with dmg amplifiers is totally worth it long as you have the ammo to supply it

Hellfires do work, go for it. I'm saving up to get more hellfires and slap a bunch of damage mods on them, then i can have a few normal ciws' purely for shooting down missiles

It also includes how many ADVANCED ammo makers you would need per turret.
But let me tell you this, for 8 hellfires you do need roughly 14 adv ammo makers., 16 if they are 100% firing without a break, which they do if you aim for high rounds on endless mode.

Short answer is yes, yes they are.

1 HF can make a base go from bad to good.

That said, you have to build the base around what you want for HF turrets.

Need an adv auto to feed them or you will question your sanity.
