They have Huge alpha, Huge Hp, Huge Range, Huge elevation and they can be immune in the redline. Not just in the redline but they can shoot an objective from 300m in the redline. This is monstrously stupid. I cannot move in any map, or any game mode without a rail tank or three that are up to 300 meters into the redline 1 or 2 shotting my dropship. It is absolutely broken. I have even been killed at the maximum flight ceiling. Exactly what is a flying vehicles advantage if a tank can kill it anywhere in the entire sky?
They are not in need of slight balance or tweaking but plain broken to the point that they should not be in the game with the maps that we have.
I am making a video to make my point but at this stage CCP. They need to go. Now. Until they can be made to work with current map size and until you fix the broken and unbalanced redline they have to go. SImply remove the rail turret until we can make a weapon that powerful work within the limits of fair balance,
I only make threads like this if something is game breakingly bad. And I don't like to. But this is a special case. Did you know that at 250m from an objective, from a flat surface a rail tank can shoot a dropship 238 meters up?! Tanks rule the ground and the sky. At 238 meters my dropship is useless. I have to sit, in complete exposure evey single game to these distant, redline tanks. I can't use skill or tactics to avoid them. They see me all the time from complete safety. The tank can cover any area a dropship can operate in from a single spot up to 540m away (proven tested distance)
So here it is CCP. Take out that turret. Now. Until we can balance it. Its unfair and it breaks air/ground balance. CCP, you need to speak to us pilots about this. Not part-timers; but us full on dropship guys. Please engage us. In private, behind NDAs or whatever you feel is best but we really need to talk with you. This stuff needs fixing. ASAP.
No. Take out blaster turrets and let tankers have it at each other. Of course.... Something that hinders tank spam is considered a problem by judge,but not something that breaks balance over infantry?
Heh, biased.

3? Last time i checked in a dom game the enemy had 4 sicas and around 2-3 maddies killing infantry. We couldnt deploy Anything at all and even getting out of the red line was almost impossible.
You had to run past rail tanks and Snipers, To then evade the Blaster Maddies/somas To the FIGHT infantry to then attempt a suicide hack on the objective
Man , what a crappy game that was....

I like anything that can take out a tank.
