I DON'T LIKE YOUR PLAYSTYLE! SO I WANT IT INVALIDATED!

You out past 300 meters? then I can't shoot, or even see you in most cases. sorry that I'm not willing to gung-ho it into melee with a long rifle. it's not made for that, it's made for sitting on a mountain, and killing things very, very quickly.

now you're saying that the job it was made for is wrong, and that it shouldn't be allowed to perform that job. okay fine. your dropship now cannot fly, Have fun.

Not what I was saying bro.
There are plenty of locations on the map that aren't in the redline where you can still engage at range. The only difference is that your prey can actually fight back. Or what are you scared of a fight? Because I'm all about good fights and having fun, and RLRTs don't provide fun or interesting fights.
I don't think you read my OP either, as I said its a rail tanks job to destroy vehicles and installations. I'm not saying the tank is wrong, the impossibility of fighting it in the redline is what's wrong. I am okay being killed by a rail tank if I can at least fight back, I have been killed by a few, they risked their asset and did their job. Why should I have to risk my dropship when you don't risk your tank?

If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Why should I have to risk my dropship when you don't risk your tank? Considering I kill redline railtanks with some frequency they are rather at risk. its a lessened risk, but still a risk none the less. My main gun is the XT-201 heavy missile turret. if I get that into position, it's even worse than a rail tank for you, know why? highest up angling in the game, and the bastard acts like a flak cannon, and they toss you all over the map. I use the railtank when I'm bored and want to see chunks of MLT tank scrubs go flying with every shot, the fact that you end up in my sights is just bad luck. Hell I'm not a great shot with the thing, so dropships are a pretty low priority unless you're trying to hotdrop onto my friends or your door gunners are giving them the business. Just so you know, an assault dropship is actually my greatest fear. mostly because if they get into position, I CAN'T shoot back. So maybe you're just a terrible pilot. burn to the ceiling, go over them, drop in behind them since your aerial redline is about 2-3x the size of the infantry/ground vehicle redline and pump some missiles/railshots into their tailpipe.
