Say NO to turret steering !

[mjolnir]

I'm not at all convinced that it helps in fighter combat in any way.

1vs1 yes you can fire back more often, but then you can't strafe/dodge that well so you get hit more
yes you can fire your turret (if you have it) backwards while dodging, but hey that's 1 gun.

in group fights only possible use is if you are a target then you can dodge and fire that 1 gun back, but the dodging won't be as good as in chase view.

Possibly there might be some small issues with ships that have a bit too generous firing arcs. But it shouldn't be that hard to find those and correct them.

Turret on
In this video,I used turret too,but was so hard to use I had more chances without it.He was using it too.

So,as you can see,this turret steering will turn uber noobs into uberpwnzors who will have absolutely no problem at aiming,turning(this thing eliminates the need of engine kill,a VITAL thing in outturning and maneuvering).

As I mentioned before most damage to that eagle during second part of the vid is from the lvl19 KNF NPCs that hit the eagle during long e-kills.
What strikes me is how the author manages to write that he had more chances without it and that it changes uber noobs into uberpwnzors such a short distance from one another.
