I completely agree. Something should be done. I'm a firm believer that large rails should first have a falloff and second the red line should be like the shield when you come out of the mcc that does not let any damge in or out. FFurthermore, to prevent abuse as in shooting and going back in thevredline to avoid damage, there should be a 3 minute timer so that any vehicle that comes out of the redline cannot go back in for at leasdt 3 minutes.

You trade those slots for speed and menuverability. If you got shot down by a railgun, either you were not taking advantage of that speed, or you have a really good rail tanker that can hit a moving target from 600m away. 1.8 Analysis - Sentinel Damage Efficiency Calcs
True Adamance Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 5672	Posted - 2014.01.14 21:37:00 - [7] - Quote Yeah....we do rule the skies and that is simply not okay. For the most part I feel rails do their job well, they are the best anti tank weapon around, however as you say some considerations must be made for other roles to have a significant and meaningful presence in the map. However I am also of the opinion that if gun that is designed to destroy a tank hits what is essentially a helicopter.....that drop ship will be downed, however as it stands there is little reason to use anything other than railguns in this current meta which promotes redline sniping as the most effective and least risky way to clear the field of enemy vehicles.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 2578	Posted - 2014.01.14 21:45:00 - [11] - Quote 500K Python with Complex Shield Hardener, Enhanced Heavy Shield Extender and Enhanced Afterburner and I can take maybe two hits and be able to run away. There are some seriously hard hitting gunners out there though and the second hit can knock me out of the sky. If I can gain altitude out of sight of the rails I can sometimes harass them back into cover but that's a big "if". Considering that railgun tanks are my biggest threat with forge gunners in second place I'd don't know how I'd fix the situation. The crazy range is hard to deal with but currently they are the main system keeping dropships from overly dominating. We could use a dropship based system that has a better chance of killing tanks. // Venge Captain // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana

But most of the time I CAN avoid the railgun fire and projectiles via evasive flying, .. It's just that's all I can do before I recall it. I can't enjoy flying people about or engaging the enemy infantry because 90% of my time is dancing with rail projectiles or hunting down that railgun tank that tried to kill me.

I with Dropships being troop transports it might be a bit much to expect them to fight a Tank under these circumstances. Also, we don't have an 'Anti-Shield' turret or heavy weapon yet so shielded vehicles might do better today.

If you want to run around in the air you need support to clear those guns or keep them busy. Everyone wants to be able to do everything, solo, all the time. Get a crew, stomp around together. 3 missiles on your ship and good gunners will kill any tank really fast. Kharga, you have no idea. I run in squads all the time, especially with slayers from the Rainbow Effect. The french, like laflash for tank support, AV guys like Jin and Taz-666.. I get organised, even with Ars Kayx flying by my side or in my door gun, our skills stack = rapid firing advanced and proto missiles can down tanks in seconds. But being shot out of the sky from some dude in the redline? Keeps the sky clear so I have to recall. It's just ridiculous. The guys solo'ing all the time right now are the bloody railgunners. Tanks need to be fixed, because all it takes is one tank on a hill to ruin a game.. how do you think I feel when there's a squad of six? Ya that's true. Since SI fell apart i've been solo. Another reason to make tanks a 2 man crew...which I advocated then and still do. Gunner guns Driver drives and uses mods. If a solo player wants to rail snipe, lock his tank so if he wants to pull back off a hill he has to switch positions to move and turn hardeners on.

I've advocated this approach as well but adding the lock is a nice touch. Give the main gunner seat control over any damage amplifiers too. I think the driver should have the small front turret to score some infantry kills with. // Venge Captain // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana

Full HP to 0/0 and falling on fire. If a corp with a crappy reputation can do it, surely the infantry on here can do it. I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

But seriously, Rails need a look at, I went and got myself a redline rail fit and it's so dumb, one shotting things out of the sky, two shotting shield tanks and three shotting madrugars with hardeners up. Fox, if you don't get a solution soon, pick me up and I'll be your white knight.

Fair and in need of no adjustment? judge, add a second one showing its angle of fire height-wise at that range, we can't even burn to the flight ceiling to escape it, you either hide behind a building or take a big risk and try to escape its angle of fire.

Will do. It was a greater than 1:1 elevation ratio (its in the video too). That means from that spot (on a hill) he can shoot up to 690 meters up.

You trade those slots for speed and menuverability. If you got shot down by a railgun, either you were not taking advantage of that speed, or you have a really good rail tanker that can hit a moving target from 600m away. 98% of redline railtankers can hit fast moving targets 600 Meters away, I have found. Mainly because a lot of those redline railgun tankers have been taking advantage of this faulty mechanic for months & months & months, and so they know exactly where to shoot no matter what.

There are some dropships, where I can fire my whole clip at them, and they're still up there. Fouxhound, you sound like you're just bitter because your python with 2xdamage mods(?) isnt surviving very long when there are tanks around Unless you're using a militia railgun, you're completely talking out of your ass. The max HP a Python can have with complex shield modules is around 2,500-2,800 (with 1 heavy complex extender) and its armor is around 1,000 (if you have a armor plate). Even with these precautions in mind, and everything being a complex module, redline railgun tankers can take me down in 1-2 shots, militia seems to be about 3. An entire clip is completely ridiculous unless you were dealing with a fully tanked, low damage incubus.
