Why Turrets are Hot Garbage - Fixed v Gimbaled v Turreted
In this Elite Dangerous video from EDTutorials by Exigeous we look at why turrets are hot garbage in Elite Dangerous so we can understand the differences between fixed, gimbaled and turreted weapons/hardpoints. As there is a huge damage difference between fixed, gimbaled and turreted it's pretty easy to see that turrets are, in fact, hot garbage. In this video we look at why turrets should virtually never be used for primary damage, instead being used primarily for applying an experimental effect when engineered. Unengineered the only good reasons to use them for pirmary damage would be multicrew, Anti-Xeno non-Guardian weapons or if you are physically disabled. ▶️References Engineering Explained: Plasma Accelerators • Engineering Explained: Plasma Accelerators ▶️Disabled Gamer Jerry Farrs Lands Using Only His Voice • Disabled Gamer Jerry Farris Lands Using On... ▶️ALL Charts https://imgur.com/gallery/geGg9Kv ▶️Google Sheet with all Data https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... 00:00 Intro 00:35 Fixed v Gimbal v Turret 02:13 Why Turrets are Hot Garbage 03:49 Why Turrets Suck 04:43 Using Gimbals & Fixed 06:11 Conclusion --------------------------------------- Join me on Patreon ▶️ / cmdrexigeous Looking for help with Elite?
