Zoom all the way out and enjoy the fisheye autoaim. No skill needed. :crazy:

Totally lame and needs to be fixed.

I called this one all the way back in my old anti-turretsteer/turret zoom threads

Bleh, GBs are definitely far more multi-role than they should be. Its the combo of turrets and the "trick" demonstrated above. The civi SHminer is very effective for the same reason.....

Don't argue for counters: you should not have to box like a madman to counter what is obvious abuse of game mechanics (that makes the game easymode). If we want to keep turret steer we need to take a good hard look at what its capable of.

Zoom is just a -new- way of fighting, people will learn it's just as beatable and adapt. All it adds is variety to combat style, not overpowered at all.

At all? Not even a little bit? That is the boldest statement I have ever hear about a feature that is still in the balancing stage on account of it being freshly introduced.
