Is something wrong with the rocket sentry?

[Kashra Fall]

Auto cannon sentry= awesome.
Gatling sentry= Awesome (For its respective uses.)
Machine gun sentry= works just fine.
Rocket sentry couldn't even kill a hive guardian O.o.

Rocket sentry is only good to destroy armor.

Dmg. is very underhelming. Maybe that´s the reason why not so much ppl use it.

unlike auto-cannon rocket sentry don't deal much damage but it break charger armor also have bigger explosive radius than auto-cannon so realistically you can't expect it to kill big target but it will strip armor for you

Heh, and here I thought it was a stationary recoiless rifle or something.

it doesnt even do that...

the dtracking speed is awful. so unless all targets are walking in a conga line it will spend too much time aquairing targets and maybe getting 3 shots off beofre the charger tramples it.

I let the thing shoot a charger for around 4-5 bursts. It never broke the armor. We sure it is for breaking armor? O.o.

rocket sentry is good for killing the team mates that stand behind it

It does..... but it takes time.... much time ... and before it happens the sentry gets destroyed.

Nope it doesnt, at all... Just like the other poster said Ive seen it unleash 4 to 5 full volleys on a charger with all hits and no armor taken.

The rocket turret is somewhere between the gatling and auto.

The auto runs out of ammo very, very quickly but has a hefty punch, and the gatling has a high rof and decent pen against anything short of a charger.

The rocket turret ammo lasts a lot longer than the auto but doesn't have it's punch, and it doesn't have the rate of fire of the gatling but does penetrate a bit more. It tries to make up for that with aoe, so it's role is basically the same as the gatling only it doesn't bounce off chargers.

Kind of a generalist turret, in my view, which puts it in a weird place in this game.

All this assumes you have all the turret upgrades, which make a huge difference for all the turrets.

I should also mention the rocket turret does quite well against spitters. They seem very vulnerable to explosions.

autocanon and the two mortar are just the better turret actually, minigun have some niche and its fun to watch, but MG43 and rocket are underwelming

The Rocket Turret is supposed to be an anti-armor turret, with it's AI prioritizing heavier units, while the AutoCannon (it's direct competitor) fires on targets based on proximity primarily. How well it works in practice is going to vary.

Strange.... in the first week it destroyed a Chargers armor after many shots.

Haven´t used it anymore, because dmg. was underhelming and i replaced it with EMS mortar.

Maybe it got nerfed or bugged.

Now that you mention it, it was working fine before the patch lol. Maybe they broke it? I rarely take it over the auto cannon turret, but figured I'd try it today when we were all running turrets and just noticed it was doing, absolutely nothing.
