Nobody enjoys these turrets. I hate that i have to rail tank on every single map besides line harvest and that one tiny circular map with lots of cover.
Nobody enjoys playing against these turrets.
Nobody likes losing a tank in one shot. (Triple dmod gunni with pro rail one shots just about everything. Two dmods and a hardener if you don't feel like being risky. A sica if you don't want to spend over 100k.)

Missiles and blasters became fun and relevent in 1.7 except you're not allowed to use them. Rails only.

I think a good place to start would be lowering RoF for Railtanks. I think a range reduction is also a good idea, perhaps 400m? Maybe 450m? Being able to shoot from redline to redline on some maps is just plain silly. How about a lower ammo capacity, like 4 or 5 rounds instead of 9? Although I still think a major problem is militia tanks, the fact the an 80k Isk Sica can easily take out my 500k Isk Gunnlogi from a mile away is insanity.

I also think Large Missiles should have some changes as well. Individual-Missile reload system would be nice, frustrating when I take down almost all of an enemy HAV's HP, but I have to wait five years for all of my missiles to reload when all I need is one or two to finish him off while I get torn apart. Another is missile's anit-infantry capabilities. It just feels off when I fire an entire volley of missiles at a single infantry and he just walks away like I'm shooting bottle rockets, unless I get a direct hit or two. Perhaps a buff to splash damage and/or radius is in order? Knowing CCP though, they'd probably over buff them and replace missiles with mini-nukes.

People dont use rails for anti infanry. If they are its because they were first hunting tanks.

My god verc drivers are the most selfish group iv ever seen in any game. Heven forbid there is somthing out their designed to kill you. Nope rail turrents working as intented i hope they kill many more stuiped drivers

I like rails - Jason, Vehicle User.
Oh look, there goes your "said no vehicle user ever" bit.

Infantry > A.V > A.I > Infantry

NOPE.

Remove BLASTER turrets so tanks stop preying on infantry.


If you remove RAIL TURRETS there will be more tanks on the ground, f that.



ANTI LIKE for this post -1

ahhh and that is the key point to this whole argument... i am mad because some 100k sica with rails can kill my 500k plus isk gunlogi.


so this whole thread is because you are mad about losing tanks.. well geuss what when you are in a blaster tank the rail tanks are there to kill you.


in world war 2 German tiger tanks (rail tanks of the time) was killing sherman tanks (blasters of the time) like 4 to 1.
the only counter was the Sherman tanks would have to maneuver and work as a team to kill tiger tanks.

and you think rails are OP just wait for minmatar heavy guns.. even longer range and more damage then rails. Or even the amarr beam lasers will melt tanks like butter.


its not a issue of this is op... its the mater that you want to have impunity on the battlefield in your blaster tank. but geuss what, no sorry that is not how this game works. develop tactics.


the whole red line issue is there.. and thats an issue that there is only one long range turret at the moment.
all the infantry hand held weapons have lousy range, damage and speed of the actual projectiles.
seeing that a hand carried ATGM of todays military can kill a tank at the multi kilometer ranges makes it kinda frustrating that a plasma cannon shot is like a subsonic snowball and not a 5000 meter per second ball of death the way it should be.
