Even with maxed Flak armor, you instantly die when you are mounting a Mana turret that explodes. So I can take a rocket to the knee but can't stand at my turret when it explodes? This is terrible because sometimes you are not able to see incoming rockets / grenade shells until it's to late.. especially annoying when facing phoenix spamming NC.. -.-'
Thats the risk of using a turret. It would be kinda lame if he just walks away like nothing or just rebuild his turret after you managed to kill it (especially the AI one)
Being inside anything that explodes = death. No amount of armor is going to fix that. Exit said vehicle before explosion if you want to live. It is a bit odd that a turret is a vehicle... but there you have it.
A slight downside to a very powerful tool. NC have a amazing ability to abuse this. Phoenix launchers one hit Mana Turrets, Any they are always sitting still.
I suppose than manning a turret is equivalent to driving a vehicule. When a vehicule explose while you're in, you're dead.
If they ever remove this downside from the turret, damm than i would like to survive on my flash, and in the rumble seat of a harasser. But as long as they don't do this, whats about shut up and die?! (in your turret, not in RL)
