Can turrets really be hacked permanently?
According to the extra ability info you get for Haywire Protocol (by clicking the little yellow question mark in the corner of the ability square in the soldier ability list),
Hacked turrets will remain under your control for the duration of the mission, while other robotic enemies can only be controlled for a short while.
However, while I was on a recent mission, I actually lost control of a hacked turret unexpectedly, which resulted in one of my soldiers taking a pretty bad hit from it.
So is the description in the screenshot actually incorrect? Or is this a bug? Or a 3rd possibility: the soldier who had hacked the turret became disoriented from a stun lancer...would that cause a soldier to lose control of a hacked turret?
