+1 to RENAME AGT as Gatling Cannon mk.2
+1 to a real Gatling TURRET version

Pizza have a real point. To operate one turret,one player is required. The same player can bring in two AGTs producing double "information" of shots... twice as an AGT turret can produce...

Inc, doesn't that worth a try? Release an "experimental" AGT as Turret, with limited "shelf life" and if real problems arise, make them "expire".

See, Alloh gets me.

And that does not worry you?

It's all in the presentation, Kierky. The way you said it, it seemed as though you were suggesting that the AGT be changed from a L-Port weapon to a T-Port weapon. This naturally comes across as yet another hackneyed attempt to nerf a weapon considered cheap or imbalanced by certain circles.

That said, it does irritate me that we have a weapon called an 'Advanced Gatling Turret', and it isn't a proper turret. False advertising, I say, even if the name is grandfathered in. It pains me to admit it, but Alloh has the right idea here. It only makes sense to rename the AGT as the Gatling Cannon mk2, if only for consistency's sake. Creating a new T-port gatling weapon and calling that an AGT is entirely optional, although I would recommend holding off on that until the previously-mentioned name change has a chance to sink in at least, lest it unintentionally germinate additional confusion.

Or it could be the "Advanced Gatling Cannon", so as to reserve the "Gatling Cannon MkII" for a weapon that is more similar to the standard gat cannon.

+1 Pizza

The Gatling Cannon and AGT are not really at all similar, so the mkII doesn't make sense

Well, considering the name at present is "Gatling Turret" just change to "Advanced Gatling Cannon" (Like Pizzas said)
The "Gatling Turret" name should be used only on the *turret* variant.

vIsitor:
And yeah, I confused myself with what I was actually saying in the OP.

Ok for me... Advanced or Mk.2, but not "turret"
