Its supposed to run up behind shield tanks and rip them apart before the rail turret can be turned 180 degrees.

Tip: Shoot at the small box at the back of the Sica or Gunnlogi.

If used on a gunnlogi rail tank this tactic doesn't work.

It used to be the killer of shield vehicles but was used on infantry so much that maybe thats what ccp intended and while yes the railgun is powerful it was mainly designed as a anti-vehicle weapon and is only really good for that.
I mean you can hit infantry with a railgun but unless you got the aim of a sniper your gonna miss a few times. So if we look at the blaster and railgun in this way they don't seem as bad like this instead they each have their own role.

Sorry about my typing im using my PS4 to type this.

But there is no role to go against them, for example the rail gun is a perfect counter for a blaster and the best counter for a rail is another rail. As for its AV role you gotta admit it's to damn strong. A proto rail can pop a maddy in two shots from across the map in the redline.

Railgun is primarily anti-tank, with minimal anti-infantry capability thanks to the difficulty of hitting a small moving target.
Blaster is primarily anti-infantry, but still viable for hurting vehicles, even if it's limited in effectiveness by short range and low per-shot damage .
Missile fills a dual-role, with a slight bias towards anti-vehicle, but still having decent anti-infantry capabilities.

RAILGUN
DAMAGE:1885
INTERVAL:1.4s
DPS:1346
RANGE: UNLIMITED

BLASTER
DAMAGE: 136.5
INTERVAL:0.14s
DPS:975
RANGE: SHORT

When it comes to tank busting the Blaster is severely underpowered. Unfortunately people abuse this gun to kill infantry so buffing this weapon is out of the question. What surprises me is that CCP continues to make long range weapons superior to short range weapons. Short range cannot have less DPS than long range.

But here is the golden question... what is the intended purpose of the Blaster turret? Is it to go against rail tanks in close range and shred them, or is it meant to be an anti-infantry weapon?

wow just wow in what world are blasters meant to be anti tank..its notta matter of short range vs long range blasters are an infantry based weapon..one that with skill can be used vs other vehicle in cqc only..

a railgun is a sniper essentially and is weak in cqc regardless of how much dmg it does..rail users that fight blasters in cqc are stupid beyond belief because while the blasters are meant for anti infantry they deal enough dmg thata skilled user can kill anti tank tanks in cqc with one...however one day ccp is more than likely going to introduce a short range anti tank weapon and rails in cqc will be screwed vs that..i do not consider missiles as short range anti tank but mid range.


also blasters have high efficacy vs shields low vs armor..which means gunlogi rails in cqc are even more stupid than maddy rails in cqc,..


when i run blaster tank i am more cautious about approaching a maddy rail in cqc over a gunnlogi because

1 maddy has more ehp especially considering armor is strong vs blaster..but armor is weak vs rail..
2 maddy may have nitro and thus be able to break a tackle

but the simple facts of the matter are that when you combine the turret rotation for blasters with efficacy in cqc shield rails generally die vs blaster maddies in close range..as it should be rail tanks are snipers use them thusly

but op blasters are def meant anti infantry

OP must be driving babbys first tank

Of course rail rapes at range but a blaster can do better in short range and with the turret turning speed the rail sucks and tracking a target is harder

Dropships gunnies and maddies so not my first tank.

Railgun gunny can turn almost as fast as a blaster maddy. When using a rail you don't turn the gun you turn the tank, if you need a boost you turn both...

I do think missiles could use a bit of a buff in both categories, tbh.

They require greater personal skill to use effectively than either of the other turrets, but that skill just isn't rewarded.
