On the other hand Boris turrets are cheating, they constantly use wall hacks, and they have this "spot - shoot - wait" cycle. Maybe the solution could be a "spot - wait - shoot - wait" cycle. And maybe a better algorithm would be helpful, AI seems to always know exactly where you are.
This is why my suggestion is to make the turret player controlled and not auto aim the targets. I think the change fits the specialist nature as a defence role in the squad and cuts the bad design.
I personally think Ranger makes for a better auto turret despite having larger spread at range - the time between intervals, it's audio cue, and the fact that most specialists just hide behind their turrets don't really make him a threat in my eyes.
I do agree about making his turret a more active weapon though - I don't exactly know how to balance the health and damage but it would make the role more interesting
People been complaining about this thing for months now, so expect an update about it in 2023
