Brimstone Torpedo Turret

"The Brimstone Torpedo Turret is an Explosive turret specializing in area denial. The torpedo explodes into heavy fragments when it detonates."

General
The Brimstone Torpedo Turret is a Brimstone Torpedo designed for use in bases.

It fires a torpedo that explodes into 6 fragments with identical mechanics as the ship version.

Advantages
Brimstone Torpedo Turrets are best used against blitz attacks; they deal decent damage with the initial torpedo and can score additional hits with the fragments.

Disadvantages
Brimstone Torpedo Turrets have a very short range that cannot be boosted, making them extremely weak against sniper fleets. They have a decent minimum range that enemies can stay inside and not get hit in return.

Brimstone Torpedo Turrets are relatively slow-moving and easily dodged.

Trivia

 * The Brimstone Torpedo Turret's primary and secondary projectiles deal a total of 100% and 24% DPS respectively.
 * It has the narrowest firing arc of all base weapons.
 * Originally, this weapon was considered to be very useful over its ship counterpart - the Brimstone Torpedo - because it functioned properly by exploding at maximum range, which was then 8,400 m. However, an update caused the torpedo to explode at around half its maximum range, while its DPS was buffed from 80/120/180 to 90/140/210. The maximum range was then reduced to the present range to avoid misleading players, similar to the ship version.
 * The equipping time of all old blueprint items for bases was reduced by half during the May 2020 update.
