I ended up redline rail tanking you in one game a couple weeks ago. You hovered over my tank with hardeners down and destroyed it. We were getting redlined anyway so I said heck with that and just grabbed a beer and my rail tank. I'd say that was the same as redline rail tanking. I can't really counter a hovering DS above my missiles and no injector (shield tank)
On the other hand you were flying pretty well and I couldn't hit you at all with a rail. Maybe if the rail rotation skills are trained up it works better. I don't have rails trained up. They track slow and are even worse when scoping.
So, redline rail is worse than an ADS with turret skills trained up imo. So, everything working as intended.

Just like if your driving a blaster tank and your squad mates tell you a rail tank just set up on a hill across the field from you, you don't go waltzing out there with your hardeners down. Okay how about this, you mail me an effective counter to railguns and forges and if it' is indeed an effective strategy I will buy 2 $20 psn cards and give you the codes, if not you get 1. Deal?
Think about what you are trying to do and where to do it.
Are you trying to land and dropoff troops? Fly in low from an area blocked by buildings or terrain.
Don't hover above buildings.
Don't fly in at a medium height where you show up to rails and don't fly laterally so that you can be led.
Fly up high on sides of map then get over an area and dive down fast.
Watch some videos of hueys in Vietnam. You don't see them being stupid with artillery fire overhead.
Low, slow and covered. Either be high to ceiling or low to ground.
ADS does not mean you should rain down hell with impunity. Have to choose your location.
If rails are in that battle than that's the battle. If not then it's your battle.
Just because you want to field something doesn't mean every battle should be for that.
What happened to all this team effort thing? Hook up with a rail tanker that can cover fire on the other rail for you.
I'd like to see that team effort. Might make me play solo less.
I'll even rail tank for you if you do the same for me too.
