Long Range Turret Redux
2.0 Port for Yehns mod. Provides research to unlock a mid tier turret between basic gun turrets and lasers: Longer range and greater durability, but at the cost of much slower traverse speed and fire rate. DPS lower than basic gun turrets.
Description
This is a 2.0 port of Yehns original mod. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LR_Turret
I have made some changes: The turret starts aiming at a range of 45, but only shots at a range of 28. This is to balance the slow rotation speed. I also tweaked the damage bonus per shot slightly down. From a flat 1.6 to 1.5. The turret is very effective in a continues defense line, but still helpless in close combat. For best performance I would recommend a mix of basic turrets and long range turrets, to combine burst DPS and good range.
Original description: This adds a mid tech turret, something between the basic gun turrets and lasers.
Compared to gun turrets:
- Higher range (but cannot shoot enemies in melee range)
- Very slow turret traverse (walls and chokepoints are recommended)
- Lower rate of fire, but more damage per bullet (higher ammo efficiency)
- Slightly lower overall DPS (Still much higher than laser turrets)
- More HP
- Requires Green Science and Stee
