@EA_Ataashi- Hi, just some food for thought.
The nerfing of the ion turret i.e. stopped targeting troopers, was made apparently because of popular demand. I would suggest this needs to be reversed. I have noticed in most games this turret has become less a weapon of choice for the heavy trooper and is non existent in some games and when used is an easy target for troopers to take out. When the group play system was introduced, it became very easy to get caught in a crossfire situation particularly when spawning with other troopers. The turret was an effective defensive weapon giving a player time to fight his way out of a difficult situation (it could watch his back). It was never really a killer as it took several hits before it eliminated a target and gave players time to evade it's missile or to destroy it. If you want to be fair, then you should do the same with the Officer's turret which is far more damaging to troopers. Wouldn't that create an outcry!!!

Agreed....they just wanted the ions turret's damage on infantry to be reduced, not turned off altogether. The infantry turret is still effective but has no where near the range of the ion turret whose primary targets is vehicles. So to open a match the ion turret 200 meters away was locating and hitting people...thats a balance problem, they fixed it by overkilling it.
Infantry turret is fine to me as its pretty well balanced but someone who uses it more may feel differently
@raidernaphtali- hi
I very seldom play Officer so my usage of the infantry turret is limited. What I have noticed is that although it can be slow to lock on (range probably?), but once it does, it never lets go no matter how you try to avoid it. With the ion turrets better range, at least you can hear and see it coming giving players a chance to avoid. If there is a vehicle nearby, it will always target the vehicle. I didn't think the ion turret needed nerfing. Both sides had the option to use it.
