After the XL blaster neft, XL autocannons now have more optimal than blasters. So they are not in line with rest of the turrets. Id like to know if there will be further rebalancing for XL turrets.

Im planning to buy myself a titan within next 9 months but havent decided yet which one. Already have char for Erebus but the xxxxl space potato doesnt look so attractive.

XL autocannons have slightly more range but, worse dps and worse tracking than XL blasters. if the ac range were to be lowered it would atleast need to get some better tracking.

if you make XL autocannons worse in every way compared to blasters, theres no reason to ever train/fly a nag instead of a moros.

cap use, damage selection. Give XL autocannons more falloff?

I'm not sure your titan would actually use ACs.
Even if we discard the fact that titans are rarely used as proper combat machines, a supercap escalation's rep values will make your 8k dps irrelevant.
Now the 100k+ XL artillery alpha, that's where it's at.

On a sidenote, I would advise you against getting a shield supercap, what with the current meta and all that stuff.

Get a space mushroom like everyone else, you'll avoid being instaprimary.

Nice necro

Anyway, CCP overnerfed XL blasters imo. XL projectiles still have more optimal than XL blasters, so they are still in need of balancing.

Moros is still extremelly overpowered compared to the others

Naglfar's main strength is neut resistance.

Rev and phoenix are just garbage.

slight exageration about the rev. I out dps quite a lot of you guys regularly with my rev :P not having to switch ammo is also very handy :) but yes. moros is far above anything else, and the naglfars neut resistance and alpha with arty is really good.

phoenix is.. well..

If a rev outdpses a nagl/moros its because the nagl/moros pilot was being awful

Don't try to deny it! :P

Tracking is a *****. Paper DPS != real DPS.
