Well i suppose you want to see how long you can last against them or if they can save your ass. Theory crafting is great. Logging into SISI and testing it out live is priceless 🕶 ---

what in the past gate guns would start with low damage and it would increase the longer you stayed on the gate thats how it used to work and afaik that was how it still worked maybe they changed the mechanic but thats how it was last i heard maybe a few years now but dont pull lol crap on me because thats how it was ---

In the past they did all damage at once. At some point in 2013, or 2014, they changed that so the damage starts lower and increases per volley, and buffed the sentry’s max damage output slightly to 170+. I don’t remember the numbers, but they do double the damage in TH/KI than EM/EX. This change made suicide ganking in trashers a tad more accessible, because it then became less skill intensive to achieve three artillery volleys before the turrets pop it. ---

If you don’t believe it, then fit a destroyer for sentry damage, go to a 0.5 and attack someone at a gate. You will see, first hand, that the damage increases per volley. ---
