i agree, but by following a different line of reasoning. Why should a 300 k rail turret powered by a tank do less damage than a 15 k infantry cannon? We'll see how 1.7 changes in the forge vs vehicles debate, but the way i think about, power output of weapons should be relative to the power input. I know its fictional, but if i were a weapons designer in New Eden, why would i put a rail turret on my tank instead of several much cheaper, way more powerful, much lighter, forge cannon?
I'd stick at least five of em on it. maybe six. Imagine that.A giant 6 barrel rotating HMG type cannon shooting forge rounds at 750 RPM
*I fly I shoot I rep I tank/
Heavy, Scout, Assault and Logi at range/

Of course there is. Yet the cannon and other heavy weapons on a real life tank are proportionally much more powerful than what one solo infantry man can carry. Since we are comparing tank cannons to infantry cannons, I have yet to see the 125 mm cannon that's hand operated...well since Forges are twice as powerful, i mean the 250 mm round firing cannon designing for single soldiers to operate. Alone. Walking around, sometimes even sprinting. With a full clip of 250 mm shells.
