Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Oh, yes. Just killed six aliens like that.
Main problem, IMHO, is the range, so neutral on tugs as such.

Absynth has a idea to nerf this a bit I wont say how this is up to Absynth to say. I request this stays open until that nerf has happened.

I never experienced this since i've been fixing my internet, but that's one fucked up exploit. That's unfair to the point of not being funny. Already bad that turrets can shoot like 12-13 tiles away, but nobody made it so they can't be pulled on a tug? Fuck that noise. +1

I'm ok with it if it's just the range, and Apop already approved that, but I'm not okay with this. How is it an exploit? You are putting heavy machinery on a tug that is made for exactly that, they don't lay around the map you know, it takes some effort to get to one. Anyway...

I remember seeing a very long train filled with turrets and marines. Pretty hilarious actually. I agree with Rey and i don't want to see it removed. -1

I think this should be removed due to how turrets can already change direction, now that's just abusing it in a different way. You have a fucking turret for a reason. DEFENDING

Why these young punks putting machine guns on jeeps and tanks! Back in my day a machine gun was between two men on foot and a mile of trench and that's gosh dern how we liked it!

Using swear words won't really change my opinion on things, I don't see how it is being abused. You can have your own though I guess.
