I'm just throwing this out there, but this is sci-fi not real life, and game play >> fluff.

Also, our dust soldiers carry a mind-boggling crapload of amunition if we really want to get into realism...

i understand that im just saying IF their off going real life a future tank should surely have as much ammo as a tank built in 1993
although if their going for balance the number varies
at the same time the US didn't call the T-90 OP because it had too much ammo and request they change it
they made the FGM-148 Javelin 3 years later why because alls fair in love and war and although a game its a game about war

so i rather liked the idea someone had where everything was OP but only in its own environment
to me that reflected the phrase alls fair in love and war but hey that's just me

Thats sounds like really violent game of hide and seek, people do nerf weapons in real life,
did you know its against the Geneva Convention to use a 50 cal sniper rifle against infantary?

Ten? We'll have to wait 'till the devs talk about it, but with ten rounds even with a prototype railgun, you can't even kill a fully tanked out tank. You might be able to heavily damage it, but you certainly not kill it. The build I go with is this: 2x carapace armor hardener 1x beta pg upgrade 1x heavy IGL polarized armor regenerator module 1x 180 mm polycrystalline plates 1x active scanner 1x F45 peripheral Damage Control Unit. This is, of course, going off the idea that the rest of the components of my tank are dedicated to tanking.

(Turrets are going to be more powerful in 1.5) F no. A heavy can carry 20 FG rounds with the ammo skill maxed. It is inconceivable that a tank cannot carry at least triple that.

Being able to recall a vehicle then call in a new one for ammo just feels like it defeats the point entirely, so here's hoping they figure something out.

The whole point of limiting ammunition is to better tailor the combat time of the vehicle, the rail turret doesn't shoot energy it shoots large metallic slugsso damn fast it reacts like energy when hitting sheilds!! Also consider the rail turret is more of a vechile against vechile weapon, lime how the forge is av oriented (but still infantry proficient) this is what the rail gun will be like, because of this I would say about 30, enough to get in blow support, waste a few shots on that guy with swarm launcher and your away. Dont forget ammo caches will become available as module as well!!

Wait what? Railguns use energy? Wtf? Not in real life anyway... they use magnetism to propel projectiles...

I'd need to see the changes before making a statement.

Heh. Maybe it's my experience in dealing with redliners that's coloring my perception, but very often when I come across another well fit armor tanked madrugar, it will take two cannonades. A cannonade in general refers to continuous heavy gunfire, but I'm specifically referring to the number of shots (in the case of the "standard" prototype railgun, four) I can take without overheating. So, if I survive the theoretical encounter, it would take eight shots. All this will, of course, be subject to change when 1.5 comes out and we'll have a new chance to test out how the rest of the changes affect all the... you know. Stuff.
