The [Large Railgun] is OP because it is too effective against [Vehicles]. The only way to effectively counter a [Large Railgun] is to bring out your own [Large Railgun], and that is not good game design as it denies different types of [Vehicles] from being used once a [Large Railgun] hits the field. The [Large Railgun] denies interesting gameplay for other [Vehicle] users with it's massive damage, range, hit and run ability, and it can often kill a [Vehicle] before they even know it's there.
NERF THE [Large Railgun]!!
Replace:
[Large Railgun] = Tanks
[Vehicles] = Infantry
OMG, it's the same Infantry has been trying to make against Tanks... but that seems to be working as intended, right?
No, that's what Proto spammers have been using against tanks.
Now that the spammers find that the Proto suits are No longer profitable... like they were intended to be... they complain about not being able to make money while running proto.
ADV and MLT users have little to no problems with tanks, because they can take a few losses and still make a good profit. In fact MLT users can just detonate tanks left and right suicide or otherwise, then get on with their games, while PRO's obsess about tanks because of their precious income.

So, you're not arguing balance but ISK profitability? If so, the Large Railgun makes it unprofitable to use proto Vehicles, as it is an anti vehicle weapon. Good enough?
There will probably not be proto vehicles. Devs have stated they are side-grading vehicles instead giving different traits or stats in exchange for health or some such.

Well it seems that some of the members of those very Proto corps are the most vocal regarding tanks. I believe they've noticed their wallets start to decline and tried to find the source of the issue.
