That railgun turret, I believe.
As far as I know, just the anti-armor turret.

Are you talking about the gun that fires out those Fushia beams? Thats Anti-Air I beleive, the cannons that dont go up high enough to attack titans is ground defence. Though theres no point, the Anti-Air guns cut through Armor like a Knive through a Prone Sniper.

No, those can't be for air. They don't go up very high. They are rail guns for armor as previously mentioned. Have you tried to take out air with them? Possilbe, but not very easy at all.

eh? Are you playing the same game I am? There have been many, many times when I would roll toward an enemy silo in a tank. When I do, there's often some fool who hops into an AA turret and starts pumbling me with rounds- completely unaware that AA inflicts ZERO damage on tanks. He usually remains unaware too up to the point when I bring my cannon to bear. As the red mist that used to be his body clears, I keep asking myself why the hell people like him don't go for the ground defense turret when they see me coming.

Well, it was only one tank. It could of been low on health, could of been a glitch, all I know is that I destroyed an enemy tank with an AA.
That's weird. It must've been a glitch since AAs don't damage heavy armor as far as I know.

no but it is annoying and can blind you from his buddy in the rail gun turret or using an at weapon.

Lol, yeh good point. AA dont do b*gger all to tanks or walkers. I even had one guy shooting me with a sniper rifle when i was in a tank!!! Wouldnt have known he was there is i hadnt heard the ping off the ARMOUR!!!!! on the side:) I think they're still finding bits of him spread around Minsk:)

I racked up a nice score manning a railgun turret on the map Tuhia Shaiba (or was it Suez???), playing as EU on the East-most control point, there is a large hill between the point and the PAC base. A whole bunch of us fought hard to hold that point, and I was already at 46 points before we lost it. Eventually they focused their attack with the gunship, but I'd often still hit it, and then bail, and finish it off with the AV rifle.
The railgun is also in a good position to hit any jeeps that try to flank the position and go for the flag.
I love the rorcsh or whatever its called, good thing is it reloads quick and often most average tank/walker drivers dont notice they are getting hit or where from so you can destroy them pretty quick.
GD = turret with one gun.
AA = turret with two guns.
