It is their accuracy that is the issue.
If every bullet they shot connected, then the average damage would be much higher.
They could get an X range where they are 100% accurate that diminishes with distance.
How hard is it to spot a turret?
Maybe if people stopped running around like headless chickens they might actually see them.
It even makes a loud noise for crying out loud!

i always kill them on sight. much easier to snipe them with M5 now when people put them on top of something as well since it only takes one rocket

Last night I was playing on Discarded. I ran round a corner into three infantry. I killed them with my SFAR, taking damage as I did because they were shooting back. One of the three was a Boris who was literally putting the turret down as I came round the corner. In the time it took for me to kill them, the turret activated and shot me as I was turning on it. It's a really poor game experience to outplay three players then get killed by a crutch.
Bear in mind also that there are still issues with sound in the game - not all sounds play consistently, and in a hectic environment, they might not always be audible. We've all had the "surprise vehicle" moment before, but that's just the most extreme example.

What is worse is it can be dropped after you kill them. I cannot tell you how many times I win the twitch battle, and I am at 10, and as they are dying, they drop a turret that finishes me off
Killing someone after youre dead is bogus as hell
Additionally, they tend to set up the turret near a corner and lay down behind it. You turn the corner and destroy the unit that they use as cover, and they one shot you because the turret is 99% of the damage.
There is a large group of players who come to these pages asking for more EZmode. EZMode kills games. This game has one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel. Making it easier isnt going to help. I am the worst player who plays this game. I should have named my account Bullet Bait. If anyone needs EZmode its me, but I will debate against it till the day I die.
The game is not supposed to be EZ
However, in an effort to contribute something constructive for Rangers and Turrets
You cannot setup a turret after you're dead. Once you're down and the death animation kicks in nothing can be done other than call for help or sacrifice yourself in order to deploy again.
What happens, but many are so awful at this game that they cannot see it is this: The turret was being dropped as you shot the person and simply takes a minute to lock on, make the sound, and then attack. A truly skilled player notes this lapse between when the player initiates the turret setup and it actually finished setup, turns, locks on with sound notification, and THEN fires.
I'm far from the best player and even I noticed this in my first few games.
The ranger is also very noisy and sounds like a mechanical trashcan when it runs around. It also makes a noise before it fires on someone. Most people complaining about the ranger and turret (being "too strong") are not good players. I play this game and see how bad people are at it. Most aren't even aggressive at taking locations and act like they are scared to move in. That being said: Get GUD.
