Talk:Ion Turret/@comment-25550798-20141030144310

Can somebody verify my research into the actual damage this thing does per shot? It states in game that the Ion Turret has a ROF of 8 shots per minute. If this holds true then the turret should be shooting once every 7.5 seconds. (8 x 7.5 = 60 seconds) That would put the damage of the turret at 99,735 (13,298 x 7.5 = 99,735) per shot.

Yet if you take a stopwatch to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvJmHJCb1qQ  or test the actual ROF of the Ion Turret in game, you'll find that it actually shoots roughly every 4 seconds, putting the rate of fire at 15. If this holds true then the actual damage the Ion Turret does per shot is 53,192, (13,298 x 4 = 53,192) not including resistances.

I'd appreciate if someone could back this up or correct me as I'm actually curious how much damage it really puts out. It has no problem one-shotting my vet 15 Elite Hover Tanks, so I'd say the numbers are just about right.
