Ship Builds & Load Outs 3D Canon

[Megalos]

I have had the expensive 3D Turret version of the Canon installed ever since I flew a Python and now on my Corvette and my Cutter. However, I do get the impression, that unless you are within 500m, the canon will miss the target most of the time. I see the canon engaging enemies at about 2 km, but the round always misses. Often the canon fires, when the target has already changed course.


Is the canon that bad and, if it is, what would be a better option for the third large Hardpoint, were the first two are taken up by 3D Beam Lasers?

I don't think large turrets were changed in the recent updates but medium and small were ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/267701-Update-2-1-03-Incoming ) what's more likely is that the targets are manoeuvering more, generally NPC's have improved tactics so perhaps this is impacting on the class 3 turret performance.

I usually fit two medium turrets on my Pythons as the topside location has better coverage and gimballed weapons on the rest, currently I've been fitting efficient weapon modded pulse lasers to extent the firing duration (one with thermal shock), current Python build
