Re: Value of a Turret in STEAMWORKS

If you are infact using a high speed shooter to unload 50+ fuel in just a few seconds, by the time you have fired, realigned, and continued firing you could have just as easily lined up using a vision tracking/turret, or just have a specific place on the field to shoot from. If you adjust while shooting you would have only a few fuel left in your bot to make much of an impact once lined up.
In 2016 teams would slam into the tower to have a physical lineup or in 2013 when teams would lineup with the pyramid. although not the most elegant strategy, its quick and effective.

Im assuming you are wanting the most points/time spent shooting so although volume is more important than accuracy, there is still a benefit to making the shots count.
