Fucking seriously?
This is a revelation.
Also that wiki needs some serious updating.

Let me count the ways, largely related to the fact that it has autonomous firing:

The fact is that the AI is a massive advantage that the M56's greater ammo capacity and slightly better penetration don't nearly compensate for, especially when the Sentry has a manual fire mode anyways (want suppressive fire? resin clear? It has an app for that). Beyond that, I have literally never played a round where I've gone through both the initial ammo box _and_ the spare.
Killing a bad, probably injured T3 with a knife doesn't suddenly make these incontrovertible facts about the M56's relative shittiness go away; it's just awful.

Power cells cease to be a problem when you install a high cap cell (which you always should at a minimum) which is usually sufficient for a round, nevermind the supercap which will last about forever.Tylaaaaar wrote: ↑15 Oct 2017, 19:21I mean, if the turret was to have longer range like the one on the dropship that would be fucking amazing.
The AI may have A mass boost due to it being.. well AI.
However with the machine gun nest it doesn't need power cells. And can be really fucking robust due to it allowing you to fire it manually so if your in a tight section and you /know/ that there is xenos on the other end you can cause some serious damage.
I mean the MG gun does have waaaay more ammo than the sentry, in some cases you can really lock down a position with the MGSurrealistik wrote: ↑15 Oct 2017, 19:29Power cells cease to be a problem when you install a high cap cell (which you always should at a minimum) which is usually sufficient for a round, nevermind the supercap which will last about forever.
Again, you can fire the sentry manually, and it won't FF marines, so you can actually output _more_ fire power down a tight corridor.

Like I said, most of the time the sentry won't go through the first clip, and the rest of the time it absolutely won't go through the second, and while the M56 can be useful in a push, the sentry is even better.Tylaaaaar wrote: ↑16 Oct 2017, 10:47I mean the MG gun does have waaaay more ammo than the sentry, in some cases you can really lock down a position with the MG
The sentry is pretty fucking robust im not gonna lie, its got IFF, T1S and T2s wont come anywhere near it (same with the MG apart from IFF)
With some tweaks I reckon the MG could become even better, perhaps being able to put specialized attachments on it, longer sight on it etc.
Annnd one final point, Sentry is realy fucking good at defending a position and that MG is quite good for assaulting the enemy, setting it up in a key spot can cause fucking chaos against the Hive.
Thats enough rambling from me back to the endless void of time and space continuance i go!

Never; I will never even begin to encourage anyone to use that piece of shit, especially since it lost its niche vs zombos.
Then I suppose I shall have to keep buying it and lugging it around and never getting a chance to actually use it.Surrealistik wrote: ↑25 Oct 2017, 19:41Never; I will never even begin to encourage anyone to use that piece of shit, especially since it lost its niche vs zombos.
I'm not a fan of the high cap industrial since I always seem to have better things to put into my pack, and because I use a welder pack. Could be decent to dole out to medics and PFCs with robo limbs though, along with eye protection. That said if you're not using a welder pack, you will almost certainly want one as an engineer.spookydonut wrote: ↑30 Dec 2017, 05:14You can hack the youtool vendor next to the dropship module printer to get a high capacity industrial welder but it wont fit in a tool belt, only backpack or tools pouch.
Also if you hack the medic's prep vendor it will unlock an O- bloodbag for them.
