Anyone try Flak cannon turrets against the goid swarm?

[Turd Ferguson]

They do the same damage as fixed cannons so I was thinking about trying them out...but how do they work without multicrew? Most turreted guns fire automatically unless they're in "fixed" mode so what happens with the remote release trigger? Does the turret AI detonate them at the right time for you? Does it just track targets and it's still up to you to fire and detonate the charge?

anyone try it?

They don't, as far as I'm aware.

In the last tab in the system function, there is a section dictating turret fire modes. If you set it to forward fire, it will act like a fixed weapon.

^^ That one. Without multicrew, I believe that's the only way you can use turreted flak.

well that explains why the turreted flak cannon isn't popular in goid fighting then - without multicrew it just becomes a more expensive fixed gun.
