the turret lock-on speed needs to be patched......it takes like 3 seconds for it to lock-on, and by then the enemie is usually one foot away from doing circles round it while melee'n it to death....this is a fustrating thing to see when your after getting downed and wer hoping that the turret could cover u till the medic gets there...anyone else have this problem?? or did i maybe have a string of bad turret placements.....

Honestly I know what you're talking about. But in my opinion I think the turret is supposed to support not really in the front line mowing everyone down. Placement is also really important for the turret cause you don't want it just around the corner where the enemy can come around and just shoot it till it dies before it can get a lock on.

ye i see what u mean......im still holding out hopes for the rank 5 one to mow those svckers down :gun: Ratatatatatatata!!!!

Yeah just a tiny tweak would be nice

Takes about a second to lock on when I'm being shot by one.

Also, Lights are the only ones I've been able to consistently circle-strafe a turret as - and if I'm meleeing it to death, it's obviously been left on its own instead of being used to support players.

wel, its a support and not a killing terminator if it starts to shoot to fast its gonne be overpowered .
so maybe shooting faster but with less damage are less accurate. engineer is already little overpowered i think

Well the 3rd level turret i'm sure is exactly the same except for the fire rate. which is still good, it kills them faster ^_^

i think turrets need at least a 1 second shorter lock-on time than they currently have (that is, about 3 seconds) since almost all places to put one are at short ranges.

They do need a bbit of a quicker lock on. They are supposed to be support I understand, but litteraly one person has been killed by a turret in the five days of pretty serious gaming ive had with it. It rarely locks on at all before its completely destroyed, and against AI, its completely useless. The enemies are so overpowerd they'll hit it with a grenade the second its built then hit you with SMG headshots right afterwords

I think the engy class would be too powerful if the turret got any real buff. My opinion anyway.

ok so if you dont think the turret should be changed and that its ok for what it is.......watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjAsaRjdNe0

ill be making a poll about it
