Well, building up cash for one of the bigger haulers and started wondering if people have experience on usefulness of turrets. Flying my Cobra I have noticed that fixed mounts are not as good for me as gimballs, my poor skills mean that faster craft just tend to get wee bit outside my killzone with fixed ones, but gimballs rip them up good. Of course killing big ships faster would be nice but sacrifices....
But since Cobra is reasonably maneuverable, I started to wonder how I could deal with minor irritants in ships which are not and came to think of turrets. But do the actually work? I tested turrets on Cobra a little and they appeared to be horrible, instead of turning my ship into disco ball it just winked here and there. But thinking back on it, I have started to wonder if it was due to placement of guns in Cobra which resulted them not often having LOS to target....
So, wiser and more experienced ones... Is my vision of clumsy ship kitted with turrets pointless due to their uselessness or can they actually present some kind of problem to lighter raiders?
