Best turrets for Rattlesnake?

[Frontier]

Which turrets are best choise for Rattlesnake? I installed split flac-turrets and they cant hit small ships.

Flak turrets are the best anti-fighter turret generally, so not much else you can do. IIRC argo Flak turrets got faster tracking, but thats about it.

One thing that works reasonably well is to replace a set of medium turrets with light missiles, but then you need to reguarly rearm the ship.

[Knightframe]

Front large turrets (4x) plazma. (paranid due to range)
Back large turrets (4x) beam. (paranid)
Rest of small turrets --- flak (depends realy on your playstyle)

Reason that you use beam is to prevent enemy small ships to get their shields re-chaged.

You wont do the maximum damage, but you are pretty much immortal and can take on swarms of
drones.

Downside of flak is that you have to keep away from other factions ships as they may turn hostile.

Get argon flak for medium or small turret, tedial shield all size and kind, I guess you could get paranid for large turret Plasma set for caption ship, while medium or small turret for small/medium ship, you can't change main gun from other faction, sady, but it's make overpower with speed and longest range from argon destroyer gun but less damage than split.

I would recommend not to take beams, they are comically weak in X4 vanilla. Something like a 10th of the firepower of a flak or even a pulse gun or so. At that point the better accuracy hardly even matters.

Front large Plasma and all mediums to Flak is what I do as well though.

I am running the turrets MOD on my game and have the Medium rapid plasama cannon on my medium turrets and the Large plasma artillery on thelarge turrets. Great fun, gets real fun when you go up against an enemy with the same loadout though.

Remember to mod your ship hull and engine
you can go faster than 300, out run any Xenon ship

I equipped my Rattlesnake with L Plasma and M Flak but I am not satisfied with Flak really. It looks and sounds scary but misses as if a drunk gunner operates it. I think I'm going to use a mixture of M turrets: Flak + something else, maybe beam to prevent shield recharging.

Personally I use a mix of pulse and bolt turret for my M turret and Plasma for my L.
Just looks cooler in my opinion.

Raptor with full bolt is amazing!

I thought Paranid turrets were bugged? People reported that their rotation speed suddenly was so low that they can barely follow enemies.
Personally, I would use pulse laser and plasma. These have always been the most useful weapons. The other ones just suck.
Never tried the new flaks, but I fear friendly fire, especially with Egosoft's AI.

Any turret can hit Ai tho. I find it strange they didnt add shockwave generators to paranid tho.
