is the assault rifle a cqc weapon? they are both blasters.
why the kitten would you have a cqc weapon on a tank?

so... this was poorly thought through and took an unappreciated attitude.

so... this was poorly thought through and took an unappreciated attitude. It doesn't have to be CQC, but when a Gallente blaster weapon has the range of a Caldari Sniper RIfle, that creates a problem. Heck, I wouldn't even care if it was 100-235m. But 550m? That's idiocy. That's like what, 50m away from a sniper rifle's max range? Even the freaking Thale's doesn't have the zoom fidelity of 550m.
your kidding right, this is some kind of joke? we are seriously comparing the range of the primary on a main battle tank to the range of a large caliber sniper rifle.
I'm not one to use real world equivalences in a game especially one set in the far future. but I think this adequately demonstrates the enormity of your comparison.
Cheytac M200 Intervention effective range: 2000+ yards or a little over a mile.
M1 abrams 120mm smooth bore effective range: 2.5 miles
you are comparing a man portable railgun to a blaster so big it needs a set of tracks. why in new eden would the railgun have better range.

No, I was comparing a Gallente weapon, which according to lore is supposed to be short range; to a Caldari weapon that according to lore is supposed to be long range. Though I do admit I could have worded this a bit better Although, you can complain about my analogy comparing a vehicle weapon to an infantry weapon all you like. It won't make my analogy any less valid or invalid because the principal still applies. A Gallente SHORT RANGE WEAPON should never have range compared to a Caldari LONG RANGE WEAPON. Even if it's mounted on a tank, infantry arms, or even a motherfluxing starship.
MY SNIPER RIFLE HAS A RANGE OF 450-500ish METERS BUT THE BLASTERS ON MY MEGATHRON HAVE A RANGE OF 14km. DA FAQ CCP FIX DIS!
size matters...
EDIT: mega fitted T2 void opt like 16ish max 30ish

you could and scouts do, but the size is not significantly different light medium and heavy, they are all limited to man portable weapons and lights use the same weapons as mediums. tanks exist in their own class because their weaponry is significantly larger than infantries. it is so big it can't be carried by a man so they put it on tracks, why would a weapon so big and powerful that it needs tracks have comparable stats to something that can be carried by a man?
this is a losing fight, stop while you have your ...eeerrr sorry.
also I would like to point out that your argument will be completely invalid in 6 days. why? the new turret stats, opt 89.6m max effective 180m.
bringing up the point, why make this thread when it's contents are completely irrelevant.
