Because it's cowardly and you deserve to lose your tank.
Doesn't matter if it is a threat or not.
You're basically sticking a banner over your head saying "I really really don't want to die!".
No.

You're basically sticking a banner over your head saying "I really really don't want to die!". to be fair i diddnt go into the redline untill i had no shields left, you would be amazed what punishment 7600 shields can take :P no shields left after taking extreme amounts of fire from invisable infantry :P when i can see them they eat a rail shot :P whats more cowardly? running from an invisable enamy? or being an invisable enamy?
If you weren't in the redline to start with then you weren't a redline tank.
In which case what do you expect people to do but shoot at you?
No.

If you weren't in the redline to start with then you weren't a redline tank. In which case what do you expect people to do but shoot at you? its just kinda odd the hate that inspires folks to grab a squad of 6 and charge at a tank before it fires a shot :P not only that dedicating 6 people to kill what is essentially a person acomplishing nothing useful (redline tank) is well... a poor use of resources... hes much more valuble to the enamy team alive then he is dead and repawning as infantry that might actually acomplish something.
There's more to this game than winning the match. Especially when matches can be decided in the first 5 minutes. I have fittings dedicated to executing redline snipers just because it's satisfying to kill someone who was willing to go to such lengths not to be killed.
No.

You're basically sticking a banner over your head saying "I really really don't want to die!". Cowardly, hah. I redline sniped yesterday, given my team was redlined, and murdered some tanks and dropships. You know, during the revolutionary war, the British called the Americans cowardly for not standing in nice neat rows to be fired upon. We adopted battle tactics from our native american allies and enemies. Attacking from where you cannot be seen, or fired back upon. Cowardly, haha. It's war, play to win, or go home.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but this game isn't real life.
No.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but this game isn't real life. Exactly, which means cowardly doesn't apply! It's a game. Get where you can be effective and enjoy the kills.
If that means cowardly doesn't apply, aren't you saying the revolutionary troops in Tebu's analogy are cowardly?
No.

You're basically sticking a banner over your head saying "I really really don't want to die!". Cowardly does not apply to this or any video game. Stop using that term ppl. It is about ppl wanting to play this game for fun and play it as effectively as they can without running in and getting shot over and over as a vanilla assault. That is boring and dumb. But that is what basic infantry is forGǪ cannon fodder. Most ppl would rather play smarter, not harder and use a game to prove there manhood. You don't have to run into gun fire to be a man. Don't like redline tactics? Blame CCP. Don't like that the only way to really win a game is to hack, hack, hack objectives? Blame CCP. Most ppl like to have fun with other stuff in this game. Redline rail tanking is legitimate for a long range tank. It's the damn maps that need expanding to allow for proper vehicle maneuvering instead of essentially spinning donuts around and around in a bowl shaped killbox. Redline rail tanks are the artillery units of this game and have their purpose. You can't really shoot a dropship down when you are out in the middle of a map. LAVs are easier to hit at a distance.
Hiding out of range of most enemies is tactical. Deliberately hiding in an area where your enemies aren't allowed to compete with you is cowardly. Does that clear things up?
I don't have a problem if you want to be cowardly. I'll just shoot you for it. Everyone has fun! 
No.
