"apply their damage at CQC."
I have very few vehicle skills (I'll post them when I can look them up) but I don't have any problems getting in a blaster tank and avoiding rail tanks by circling around them. Circle, shoot, they die eventually.
The only thing I could say about that tactic is that having the controls for Accelerate/Decelerate and Turn Left/Right both on the left analog stick is a pain in the ass, especially when trying to maneuver in tight spaces.

And while I'm at it, I have a small blaster turret on my rail and blaster tanks to better handle Infantry (not much good against other tanks) that get in close. The HAVS had a forward facing small turret and a small turret mounted on the main turret. I want the small turret to be mounted on the main turret so it can turn 360deg. When I fit it in the fitting window I can see if it's forward mounted or main turret mounted, but when I deploy it in game it's always forward mounted.
Is that a bug?

I'll pay more attention and do some messing around with tanks and the front vs. top mount small turret. The front turret is almost always useless. My option would always be a small top mounted blaster turret.
Also, I didn't notice any way to change tank controls to separate turning from acceleration. I'll check that again. When I post here again, I will post definitively. These are the pressing concerns of our days.
But seriously, if a rail tank has you down, hop in a blaster tank, come from around a building or something and circle around him. He literally can't hit you. On that note, Rail turret tracking is already so bad that it's faster to turn the tank itself. Making Rail turret tracking any slower won't have any more effect because you would just turn the tank.
Edit: Fixed typos.
