Everyone knows how to disable the guns on the bottom of a titan. Heres how to disable the top guns.

Set your kit for support.
Shield needs to be down for this to be easier. You can land on the strip of deck behind the top guns but its hard.
Use an APC to get near the enemy titan. Then eject and steer to the exposed area between the top guns. Drop a weapons case. Suicide and respawn in the apc with your engie kit. Eject back to the same spot and stand near the weapons case. (It wont last too much longer.) Take out the turret guns. 3 shots each. Weapons case should last long enough to resupply you fully.
If they start to repair, the guns start looking less damaged or they move a bit, hammer them again.
If you are in a squad nows the time to tell them to fly on over safely.

hmm lets judge the fact that would work if none was repairing them so it a average strategy

Yeah, those guns are tricky to take out ... taking them out with air vehicles just gets you killed in a hurry so bringing up an engie and support soldier is pretty much your only choice.

Once they are down, it takes an engie 40 seconds of repair to fix completely. One shot from engie AV weapon will wipe blow the turret again if less than half completed. Within 3 minutes our squads were able to place 3 aircraft spawn points (demo has no squad leader spawn point yet) on the rear decks and I had support from a support guy who left a resupply crate.
Again, this is a great way to keep your aircraft coming in from getting wasted and giving your squad leader or commander time to deploy the spawn point.
Plus, its fun.

I take out the bottom guns with a AA station when they bring there titan over a silo area.

why not just camp in their uncappable flag right under their titan at the begining of the round.

Just use the anti air turret and fire onto the weapons it doesnt take long and you can take out aircrafts if they try to fly off the titan.

In the Beta, I would throw a smoke grenade and it'd completely blind anybody in those turrets. It always made me laugh, especially when they got angry.

Just use the gunship rocket pods like in the movie, I did and got the titan attacker badge :D

um you could also just land your drop pod on then which takes them down 1/3 each time and rdx them if they aren't manned.

A thing I noticed about taking out any of the titan guns, don't think just because you see the animation of the gun getting blown apart means it's done for til someone repairs it, think it of as: "Hey, that gun still has roughly 100 hp left for me to take down". Then keep shooting it. I learned of the -100 to 100 hp thing while being a commander in the Titan shooting down little birdies that don't fly in low. Someone put up the ammo box and had an engie up there just blasting to no end, even after both guns were at -100. >_>

Would this be no different to going there twice as a engineer?

And how about Explosives?

That -100 damage tip is great news. Thanks for the info!

The answer to the top turrets is a good pilot. If you're close enough that those turrets can ace everybody flying off the deck of your titan, you're close enough you don't need transport(just pod it). I just dive out of the front arc, then come up along the side and spin around onto the back deck. Thing is, a smart enemy will then pod out of his titan and land on your transport, making all the work pointless.

The only time I kill turrets is for easy points. :p Beats going inside and getting mowed down by entrenched defenders.

The only relatively safe way to take out the top titan guns is to fly with a Gunship under the range of the top guns and over the range of the lower ones using the TV missile. But even then you have the risk of being podded or shot down from the ground.

okay somebody hand me the thread digger award =D
but can't you use RDX for this? just plaster the gun with rdx and boom, there's always a support or 2 running round the top with sentry gun and clark anw...

OK...

so basically this guy says this:

Shoot the titan AA guns and they blow up!

Thanks...

rdx's can hurt the mini guns? ive tried that but it never really worked for me i just destory them with the Pilum and the pilum has enough shots in it to take both miniguns out from 100 to dead provided they dont get repaired at any point when your taking both of them out at once

instead of messing about jus pod up to the titan as an engie and shoot the turrets( you've got six shots anyway) if someone if repairing them its unlikely youll destroy them both before someone kills you..remember to mine the nemy gunship with motion mines..

hehe, and remember if you plan on using the gunship after the shields go down to be an engi with the MM bait. run to the front of the titan outiside the cargo bay shield, toss your mm bait above to rid the MM's.

i too cheaply put mm's on the cargo bay shield... but i also get rid of enemy's mines if i fly.

The AA guns are the worst to take out. I don't know how many times I've manned the Titan guns (not as an engi) and the bottom ones are completely destroyed. Yet I almost always seem to have the top AA ones to fire with. Every one's too busy spawning/podding down to worry about them. They just want to get into the Titan and destroy some consoles and stuff.

what i do now is stand on the inclined portion of the raised platform so if they turn they can see me. then when they see me and go "ooo free kill" i see the turret spinning up and i drop prone, then blast it with my anti-tank. sure annoys them =P

Its weird, but Demos don't work vs the Titan AAs :shakehead:

Soldier, you deserve an award.

Anyone who reads this thread.....listen to him. The AAs are your worst enemy if you're flying a transport in. Take em out!!

AA can be avoid if you're flying in a transport, you'll get a few good hits on you, but shouldn't be anything to worry about. Transport isn't going to last long anyways.

RDX does not work on titan AA guns.

What I like to do is to stand in a spot where the AA gunner can see me and he moves to try and shoot but the spot I'm in is just a bit out of his field of fire and all the bullets just end up missing me as I jump up and down and spin around until I blast the turret with my pilum.

The top aa guns are too easy to take out. I hover pretty high, about 400-500m from the enemy titan and then my mate in the gunner seat destroys them with the tv missile.

Ummm this only works one one titan... the strip doesn't exist on both.
