the redline is the problem not the railguns.
i realise your going for shock value to draw attention but insisting the its the rails and not the redline is doing nothing but hurting the cause |

Removing the redline would cause way more problems than it solves. Besides, the redline itself is only a slight problem. Almost nothing would be fixed because:
- Railguns can also be used as Shotguns. Enemy HAVs will still be eaten for breakfast.
- AV is pretty much a non-factor. They wouldn't be able to stop me.
- I can still aim high enough to vaporize dropships, even without the redline.
- Dropships have far too little cover. No redline will affect this.
- No Hardener can save you when my Railgun can alpha you into non-existence.
Also, I find it highly ironic how everyone's so quick to call for AV nerfs when they deal 2k HP damage per shot, yet people scratch their heads and wonder if it's necessary to call for nerfs when Railgun turrets deal 2k HP of damage per shot.
yah no... nearly time i have been shot down by an alpha rail its been from 75+m deep into the redline.
a railgun on my team cant counter due to them having elevation and cover making me the only target they can even hope to shoot at my dropship and my rails on the ground cant even get LOS on them.
removing the redline makes sence really, if a team gets redlined they have proven that they cant hold ground having a redline doesnt change that as evidenced by the fact that in a redline game the winning team throws themselves deep intot he redline to scrape a few extra kills.
right now its being abused in gamebreaking ways while not even providing protection to anyone who isnt 50+m deep who have no intention of leaving to taking ground.
the MCC would still remain as a way to spawn in to prevent being kicked or farmed, but lets be honest if you get redlined you have either already lost the game or you would end up finding a way to get back into the game with our without the redline.
its not currently not benifiting anyone except those who sit back 50+m in with no intention of leaving. if your redlined the enemy team is going to rush your redline and smoke you out anyways so its not even providing the protection it was designed to give.
in short:
the redline isnt fullfilling its original purpose
the redline is only useful to those who never intend to leave it.
remove it |

You should only be allowed to have one active at any time, or if you want to be even more extreme, only one fit at a time, like nitrous.
i was a hardcore railtanker back in the day, not the redline kind, the mountain climbing kind, elevation and cover were my weapons, and it was alll about positional advantage.
the damage mod situation is worse now then it ever has been and it was pretty bad in chrome, but those who rely on the redline arnt that good, and if forced into a position where they can actually be vulerable they wont survive very long reguardless of how many damage mods they strap to their sicas thats why they dont leave the redline in the first place.
and the good tankers that are left... dont really need the damage mods in the first place, my rail tank doesnt even have dmg mods on it (i still always have my railtank i wont ever spec out of it :P)
remove the redline and the epidemic will solve itself now that you can get more then 3 seconds of fire on them before you have to make a mad dash back out of the redline.
bad tankers sitting 75+m deep with 2-3 dmg mods always message me to brag when they shoot my dropship down... the truth is that it shouldnt take the redline to kill my paper airplane when they are using the most powerful AV platform in the game. i say remove their magical redline shield and force them into the meat grinder with everyone else and ill pop em like the poor infantry i shoot out of LAVs |
