So basically in a nutshell, you can keep the auto spotting mechanic when the AV turret fires all you want and you can keep the smaller model that makes it easier to snipe engineers using them but for the love of everything just give it its range back. I just watched thirty rockets explode inches from vehicles that were well within immediate sight and could have shot back at me due to the broken range of this turret. Its a premium item and therefore needs to be worth something.
The issue is the whole firing from extreme range without rendering. Or the ease of jumping into & out of the Turret, making you near impossible to actually see due to the above.. Which is why they don't have that insane range any more.
Just look up planetside 2014 AV turret montages on youtube and you'll see why. We need to ditch Fly by wire and come up with a better idea if we can make the turret useful in its current form.
