More than one is usually required to successfully hold off a determined Kharaa. Turret placement is crucial, and there are many theories on how to best cover an area. Turrets target line-of-sight in 360 degrees, but have limited vertical acquisition (they can't aim up or down more than around 30¢X - a 60¢X total vertical). Fast moving targets are also difficult for them to acquire.

Ok, is it just me or can the turrets aim ALOT higher than 30 degrees from horizontal? On the map with the resouce point at the auxilliary generator (forgot which map), a turret built right against the generator can hit me when i've above sitting on the generator itself. I'm guessing the turrets can hit something at least 60% from the horizontal.

I read somewhere that the angle was only 30° so i saw that as an opportunity to be smart and just sit above it and spam the hell out of it........but no, after 2 sec´s.......... <b>*pop*</b>
Something is not right here.......
Straight above turret getting shot.
If it was 30 degrees a skulk or lurk could just walk/fly straight up to them with no worries of gettin hit
