Anti-Air Turrets

[Corn-fed Peasant]

I hope we get our own Anti-Air turrets, for gunships it would be nice to be able to take the arc thrower or nade launcher without having to worry about needing a support weapon that can kill gunships.

For now as far as I can remember we don’t have ANY orbital eagle or turret stratagems that can kill them consistently and effectively leading to the player being pigeonholed into using a small group of support weapons.

I’m not against the idea of needing something to kill them I mean that’s what most good character builds do but as of now we just don’t have a big enough arsenal, at least being able to use something other than a support weapon to kill them would help massively with build variety. I don’t want to have to run EAT every time I use something other than the autocannon anti-material or rocket launcher. That anti air cluster bomb and rocket launcher can’t come fast enough but I feel like an anti-air turret would feel right at home among the other stratagems in our arsenal.

Some primaries work against gunships. Take the scorcher.

The autocannon turret is anti air, it can position itself to shoot down air but the turning rate on the up and down angle of the turret is slow and the gunships are actually pretty far away sometimes even outside of the turret's range. If you can keep it's aggro on you, it will circle you and eventually go into the turret's range.

I’ll have to try it, i never did because of the abysmal rate at which it takes down a dropship but it might be decent. I’ll take anything that’s decent against em if i don’t have to take an EAT, i love the EAT but being forced to run it doesn’t feel as good.

I’ve heard it can take em down, is it good at it? Seems like it would be hard to hit them with the bullet velocity and how much they sway not to mention how slow the weapon is.

Will do, never knew the scorcher did anything to em, the dominator can technically hit them but I’m not gonna spend the days needed to find out 💀
