Now that the SP campaign is over, is it the time for new turrets?

[mistyronin 1181]

I know that this subject has been talked before, but I was wondering as today , now that all the three A3 campaign chapters have been released ( with them some of the really needed addons like jets ), do you think that BI should focus on giving a different and distinctive turret for each of the vehicles to give them a unique look?

IMO that would improve hugely the immersion, as it doesn't make much sense that EVERYONE uses the same turret; specially when we are talking about vehicles designed in different countries by different companies.

Not just the turrets. The static emplacements as well.

I don't think all the turrets have to be replaced, but I would like to see them be faction specific. They did a good job of making the MBT turrets distinctly different as they were added and I expect they'll continue that line as time goes along.

The more interesting stuff should be coming now that the campaign is out of the way. It's a pretty big milestone. Maybe we'll see some turret love.

i think BI is in this point really ignorant to the community in this point- i have no hope for a chance in this point.

you need a wonder for this ^^

when be this fix in the summer 2014 - then come for me a little respect back ;)

game is now over a year old even a year - is too long.

hope for an bridging solution a replacement from the community

Everything BI has made for the game is amazing, in isolation.

The turrets on the vehicles look good in my opinion but obviously when compared to one another the weapons are identical. This seems to be a pattern throughout the game, with such objects as the FIA coats clipping with every single vest and many vest and hats clipping in someway.

BI certainly has the talent to make nice looking models and hopefully if they create a bit of diversity within the factions vehicles nothing goes wrong.

But yeah, it would be nice to have some shiny new turrets.

Yes, for the sake of the poor BI modellers (so they don't get too depressed :) ), I think it's important to point out how nice nearly all the models (soldiers, vehicles, buildings, weapons etc) in Arma 3 are, they look great! I think it's praise they don't get enough. The posts about copy paste, future setting, config problems, etc kind of always over shadow this point. But as pieces of art in their own right they look fantastic. Thanks BI modellers! :D

But yes...I too would be very happy if they could add some variety between the opposite factions, currently shared, assets (turrets etc).

I don't think additional turrets should be a high priority. I would much rather see different UAVs for the factions, bipods, different rifles (M4 and AK equivalents), weapon sights, humvees or future equivalent, etc.

Edit: Actually what I want most is a transport plane.

I think the current turrets (HMG, GMG and the combined variant) were created in very little time, with no real world counterpart. There is not a single RCWS in existence where the optics and the weapon itself are mounted on the same axis. I think faction specific RCWS would be sufficient, looking at the MBTs we already have 3 unique and funtional 12.7 mm HMGs. More of that please!

I don't think the anti-air and artillery vehicles are that important, they're are support vehicles and usually targets. Annoyingly they have pretty much the same silhouette when seen in FLIR, so you don't really know if it's BluFor or OpFor.

I think there are much more important things to think about than the turrets lol...

Suggestions for turret replacements:

Kamysh: A BMPT-72 turret, keep the chassis

Tigris: Pantsir S-1 turret on the same chassis or if it looks weird use the T-100 chassis.

2S9 Sochor: 2S19 Msta-S turret

Marid: Mizrak-30 remote turret

Ifrit: Bofors LEMUR with HMG and GMG of your choice + AT + AA missile versions!

Hunter: Just add a DAGR and an AT version.

Strider: Use the RWS currently on the Kuma. And add AT + AA missile versions.
