My fix for rail guns:
1) Reduce RoF slightly
2) Reduce optimal range to 350m with drop off starting from 350.01m- 500m
3) Reduce range when in the redline by 25-50% or so
These changes are based on:
1) The theory that high alpha weapons have low RoF, and with the great damage the rail is capable of, I think it's RoF is too high currently
2) Our maps are way too small to keep a 600m range, and even at that range they have tremendous damage
3) The purpose of the redline is to give your team a safe place to regroup in the event of a 'redlining,' so a tank in the redline should only be shooting out at a target attempting to keep the tank in the redline and, ideally, is near the redline itself. This is the best option that both prevented redline abuse and didn't handicap tanks in the event of a redlining.

Keep an eye and mind on your surroundings and the people you kill on the ground, or in other tanks. Tanks are like chess and Railguns are the Queen.
In virtually every case I've been in with my tank recently, my tank has been ambushed, not sniped, by rail tanks. Current rail tankers do not lie in wait for you to come to them. They call in their militia rails and either charge you from in front or flank. There's no "situational awareness" that's possible except hope you catch the RDV dropping the thing.
And there's nothing you can do. The out DPS you up close, making fighting back impossible, and usually killing you before you can evade their fire. If you run away, you're screwed once they get line of sight again.
I know rails are supposed to be the bane of tanks, but this is a little over powered.
