Would it be possible to add a mod settings that unlocks a "360° firing technology/upgrade/version" of the Gatling/HMG/other backline turrets ?
Those turrets could cost a lot, take long time to produce - anything to justify the feature :)
Why:
1-the range vs defense depth - is too low
2-biters rush into breaches so fast that there isn't always the time to react
3-biters flank too well
1: Putting enough guns to cover the (not even all)possible directions + backup vanilla turrets makes a defense line so deep that front turrets always get destroyed/damaged (not speaking about walls, that just evaporate)
2: If wall (not fort): once breached or weakened - all the "non 360" turrets become useless
3: bitters manage to target weaker dps spots of forts (weakspot-less forts grow giant and resource hungry) and further weaken them. Walls & line forts suffer even worse.
After many hours of use - ended building vanilla turrets forts back due to smaller turret size and 360 firing = more flexibility, simplicity and fire density
Also, was asked to submod/patch Modular turrets for 360° fire. Prefered to ask your opinion on all this.
Main mods: K2, Rempant fixed with highly modified settings (30% slower biters with greatly higher hp. The hps do evolve less through aggro stage).
Also: didn't mention it, but your Modular Turrets are greatly appreciated. That's why this message came to existence :)
Thanks for your attention!
