[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Weakest turret so far.

[gio_the_killer 836]

Weakest turret so far.

Just wait til everyone gets protection from it

[The_Professional 125]

Got m4 but still weak! And it's reload after every locking on targets is way too long! Gauss needs a buff.

&

Just wait til everyone gets protection from it

[rus0806 265]

Can't wait to try it out!

[Krill_300 113]

Hey I have M1 for 24 000 crystals wohoo :P

LoVE IT!!! :wub:

[lukey0 27,543]

I bought an M1 version of it. It is alright but isn't OP either, which is a good thing. Nothing worse than a new gun being completely OP upon release. :lol:

hammer, vulcan and magnum when they were released :D

I actually think that Gauss is amazing! I have the m1, and it's not bad. I don't really find the sniping damage too weak. What I do when I use it is I hit targets with the arcade shot, then snipe them. The only change I'd suggest is maybe either buff the sniping damage by a little, buff the arcade shot, or decrease the reload after the sniper shot.

 

Btw, I think the module should be named "Sparrow", not owl and if you REALLY want to rename the turret, than call it Cerberus or Hound, or something. :/

For me... Rhino, Ursa (from old module name), Kodiak (old module name too), Panda....

Wait until they release alterations for this turret. :ph34r:

[lssimo 1,559]

Not changing my opinion, most team battles feel like they're all TDM, and this new turret's shot doesn't even leave a trail to know where it came from. Luckily I won't be playing much.

 

Thank you. Next.

After playing with it for a bit, it has it's pluses and minuses. I have had a few 1 shot, 1 kill, but mostly takes 2-3 shots. Reload after sniper mode needs to be faster and could use a bit of a buff in sniper mode. It's sort of like a love child between smoky on crack and thunder with a little side action from shaft. I am sure they will tweak it, I just hope they don't nerf it. I am still trying to decide if it was worth over 200k in crystals. I am still partial to my thunder.

Beautiful analogy.

I realise that when I play with it, I don't dominate with it. If I'm playing with Vulcan, then I do a lot better. The thing this has over Vulcan for me is that it's much more fun to play with. 

 

The average sniping damage is able to one-shot an unprotected medium hull when used with double damage. That's great on its own, but yeah, I think it should have a bit more damage as well as a reduction in the sniping shot reload. 

 

I bought it at M1 and the increase in the statistics form M1 to M2 is small. I don't expect to have much of an advantage over others. Was it worth the crystals? Probably not but it's great in particular game modes like CP and ASL (Red team). 

[lssimo 1,559]

More like overly modified genetically using Striker, Smoky, Thunder, Shaft and who know what other turret's DNAs.

M4 == Fully micro-upgraded m3.

Yeah, Ik, but, M4s don't LOOK any different from M3's??  :blink: So what is that in the picture?

[lukey0 27,543]

Basically :LOL: But the deves got it right this time.

It's weak now.   Can't imagine what it will be like when > 10% of the players own the protection module...

That is true, it's balanced when it's up against an enemy without protection. But if the enemy has protection is pretty much useless. 

 

But will a buff make it too powerful?

Not if the buff is moderate. 

 

It needs a tweak to upper end of sniping damage.  All that time to snipe and... don't get anything for it unless you are hitting a wounded tank.

 

Ans so many turrets seem to cause significant impact that the Gauss loses it's "lock-on" fairly easily.  I know they gave striker a longer grace period.  They may need to consider that for Gauss.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Alts might make it OP. Who knows.

[sam1001 5]

OP turret

 

it ops striker cause quiker reloads and no laser. the only buyable way to protect against it is to buy the module

 

strikers had 2 weakness turrets and now it has 3. luckly i have enought space to accomadate it. (smoky, thunder and now Gauss)

 

sad mist of the thunder users switched to Gauss cause faster reload and more damage

 

technically its a long range version of thunder or thunder with an added long range shot ability. its becoming overpowered, the loch on takes way less time than striker.

I'm not sure if it'd be good if Gauss could 1 shot a medium hull on full HP if DD is active, I feel like it should have a laser if it could do that. 

 

I think a quicker reload on both modes would be a good starting point for a slight buff, maybe even a slightly bigger splash radius? 

[lssimo 1,559]

It looks too much like Thunder from a distance. I think the barrel could be shorter.

 

OP turret

 

Wanted to try in a new account, but can't because it unlocks last, and I don't want to play 6 ranks just to try this thing. Have an M1 in one account, I'll try it another day.
