If it is supposed to be a sniper turret, then it probably shouldn't have that much damage per second. It's an automatic loss if you're playing against a guy with Titan + Gauss. Even if he isn't a drugger. even if you could evade the arcade shots, the instant lock-on shot would probably end you, I'd like to see someone try knocking off the aim of a Titan. The lock on bullets travel instantly. So you can't really dodge. And the Lock on Time is just too short for even a wasp to react and get to cover. Even if they manage that. the Splash Damage will take care of them.

I did exaggerate a bit. Although it is really annoying to play against drugger sweeping through your team using this gun. The Damage is just a bit too much IMHO. The M3 Arcade shot deals 730 Damage in about 1.7 seconds. Non-Instant Travelling bullets aren't even much of a problem since the bullets don't really travel slowly. Perhaps a better nerf would be removing the Auto Aim and Lock-on. I wouldn't even mind the damage and reload if the skill-roof was raised somehow.

This is by far the most Absurd Turret you guys thought of. Not only is it far more superior to both thunder and Shaft. It's also surprisingly cheap. Paired with DD. it can become unstoppable. A fast reload time paired with extreme damage makes it way too overpowered. compared to (M0) thunder, it can deal 2420 Damage in 10 seconds (using both sniper and normal mode), whereas Thunder can only cause 1670 in the same amount of time. As well as infinite range in sniper mode, an M0 Gauss can instantly one shot an M3 light tank with Double Damage. You can't even see the shot coming. Sneaking with this turret is just ridiculous, you can one shot anyone in your path without them even noticing (those ear things are barely visible to me). Could you guys at least nerf the damage to make it suitable with it's reload time. This turret is basically Shaft with a 2 second reload time. Combine it with Viking's OD and it gets even worse.
