Rocket Turret feels super weak

[Rampage]

Even after 5 salvos sometimes even the armor wont be stripped wtf so random

[🚛 Akehiko ⬛️💀🟧]

I mean it's just basically a small grenade proppeled by a rocket engine, of course it's weak against armor

Just use the Autocannon turret

[Kanjejou]

Rocket tower coudl use indication that it work only on medium and lower armor , and as a buff get a bigger AOE so it splash the crowd a bit more...

its pretty good vs automaton that spam medium armor more than heavy.

The rocket sentry does ok. It only fires very slowly. So it needs to be in the background untouched.

its only good at taking down drop ships

[ZeddTakashi]

Rocket is great against drop ships and titans (But only in big open maps)

Just like the ballistic shield, no idea, maybe the rocket turret will ignore Illiuminate shields and hit them directly when they come, otherwise besides the high ammo capacity the autocannon in my oppinion does the job better

Feel like a rocket turret of all things wouldn't ignore shields lol.

Besides the things mentioned, the rocket turret also misses a ton. Slow rate of fire. And dies from a mosquito landing on it.

In its current shape it's bad. I also think the Machine Gun turret is bad, as the Gatling is straight up just an upgrade. I'd love to see 2 charges on the Machine Gun sentry, that could be fun.

Missiles and rockets travel slower than most normal munitions

High density energy shields usually stop energy based or fast travelling projectiles, hence why in Dune and shows that spawned out of it melee and archaic ranged weaponry could go past advanced alien shields

Mods are banning everyone lately it seems.

Not really on topic, but... they made that a thing in SW:Clone Wars as well. Droideka shields could be bypassed by slowly rolling a thermal detonator into them, rather than trying to shoot them.
