Turret #3 Frag Cannon

[Clifra Jones]

So, I bought a #3 turreted frag cannon last night, went to ol' Todd and got the double shot mod. Now, I've used Turreted Pulse laser before and setting them to "Target only" makes then work just like gimbaled weapons, setting to forward fire like fixed. So I expected the same on the Frag. Nope! When I set it to Target Only it would not fire at all! Pull the trigger, nothing. Set it to forward fire? it fires.

So what am I missing here?

Are you sure you were within range and all that? I've only tried Frag cannons once and don't recall having this problem - granted it was several updates ago. And I've always used Target Only. Not sure what the issue is. Put in a bug report?

Frag turrets won't fire unless the target is within 500 metres, otherwise they'd never hit anything ever.

Additional, target only doesn't make em behave like gimbaled btw, gimbaled can only fire forwards, target only turrets can fire in any direction so long as the turret can draw direct line of sight to the target vessel.

Well, normally (with gimbaled) the display will show red with "out of range" when out of range. I can say that a few time I was well within 500 meters. I will try it again.
