I have no idea. But turrets are annoying and actually really sturdy.

No - damage doesnt count on Turrets. If you do the last point of damage though, you get something like 75xp and 1500 cbills (IIRC, someone can clarify)

You can get some good money by shooting LRMs at each one if your team is on a killing spree in the enemy base.

I've gotten spotting assists off turrets just last night.

Quick spelling lesson: "Turrents" isn't a real word.

Turrets do give decent XP for kills though.

Also to everyone who says Turrets are impossible to kill, get them to pop up before you unload on them. While they are down you will only do about 5% of your shot damage to the turret. When they pop up you do full damage.

Right now, turrets take 15% normal damage when "hull down". (Used to be 1%)

They also give you 150xp per turret kill, up from 75. They do not add to your "damage" score, being static targets you could otherwise whack all day for massive bonuses.

Maybe they should list damage done to turrets as seperate from damage done to players. Since It would be handy to know how much damage was done to the little buggers.

Since they just dropped turret hp by a third they should be much easier to kill now.

I still feel that the turrets need to spew profanity sporadically as they try to kill you.

I wish the laser ones weren't such good shots. I guess I wouldn't expect to be able to dodge a computer outright, but they hit the same section over and over.

I could suspend disbelief if they shot a random section, and it would make base turtling less effective.
