So on the illegal occupants missions, did they buff the turrets?

So I probably just suck, but lately I haven't been able to beat the turrets at these missions. They melt through my shields and I can't even destroy them. I know I'm shooting them but it's like they don't take damage anymore. Did I miss a memo? Any ideas on how to beat them?

When CIG made them targetable they boosted their accuracy, health, and range...so yeah, they can be pretty nasty to attack from the air now.

Yep, with the relaxetion of the armistice zone around reststop CIG has finally give some love to the defense turret... sadly that have done that to ALL defense turret, so aproaching a land base ofr the FPS mission is now not racomanded... REALLY not racomanded: those turret not only are deadly accurate but also preatty small and hard to hit, and sporrts S4 gun so hard hittig too.
Best tactics is to land nearby the location using some hills to provide cover for the ship and tehm move in either on foot or by land vehicle.

I've noticed using gimbaled weapons doesn't seem to track the ground turrets well, we punched through them with a Carrack, but even then, the pilot had to keep moving, it was eating the shields.

I tried it with the star runner, Valkerie, and Vanguard so far. I figued they did something. I kinda like it now that I have to use the rover to get there.
