Blaster Madrugars are the sole reason I tolerate the OPness of Rail Turrets. The people that run Blaster HAVs and whine about Railguns destroying them are the lowest of the low IMHO, even lower than Gallogi+KaalRR. The only casualties I even feel slightly bad about are the drop ship pilots, but I fear they might have to take yet another one for the team, we can't have Blaster HAVs run around unopposed.
Nothing can effectively counter them but Jihad Jeeps and Rail Turrets, and they have the audacity to ask for a Rail Turret nerf? Get real...

when it comes to targeting infantry it does it isn't like the blaster where you can just keep rapid firing til you hit them you have to actually aim it even have to guide the shot because unlike a sniper the bullet still travels at a certain speed so if you don't guide it your end up shooting behind them

But a Madrugar can NEVER win against a rail/missile tank, if skill level is equal. Its a choice of prefered role: Either you kill infantry in your tank, or you kill tanks in your tank. As intended with the design.

This "real tanker" BS is getting on my nerves. Get the f*ck off your high horse Charlotte.

thats actually wrong I have on many occasions taken out missle tanks and I beat rail tanks everyday hell every match just about and I never claimed this whole true tanker that you keep blabbing on about a tanker is a tanker good or bad and this whole high horse thing is quite sad when I am simply telling you that it does take skill to aim at infantry because you are using a gun that was mean't for ANTI-Vehicles to kill infantry and how you have to aim to achive this

wait? railguns? makeing kills? not in the redline.

i will belive this when i see it.

1. yes its difficult and rewarding to kill infantry with missiles and rapes anything that is not a sica or gunnlogi or uses sheilds for that fact).

2. railgun is the noob turret. being able to 2-3 shot any vehicle when blasters and missiles require almost thier entire clip/heat to kill target vehicles and railguns cna pump out 6 shots befor over heat and each shot does 1000+ damage.

3. blasters do need a reduction in thier effective range vs infantry. however. as it is a turret it does not abide by the inafntrys gun range laws. comeing from a vehicle stand point the blaster has the worst range of the turrets. blasters put out most of thier damage from 200m and below. the closer the target is the more damage is applied. since infantry lacks resistence to vehicle turrets. they take considerble damge but not the turrets full damage.

4. vehicle large turret ranges are as follows

THE ENTIRE FREAKIN MAP as far as the railgun i concerened
roughly 500-400m for the missiles although they have that anoying dispersion beyond the 350m mark.
blasters are 200 and below.
5. like infantry wepaons turrets get range increases as thier tier goes up.
so if your being killed at roughly 200m by a blaster thank the ion cannon: murdering infantry since day of the enitrtey of dust 514 and my best friend.

5. chell got hurt badly by the blaster and procded tor age about it. must have been a cqc incident where the blaster murede his railgun in yoru face attempt.

Those were probably bad tankers then. A damage modded rail tank can 2-3 shot you through hardeners in CQC. It is NOT HARD MODE.

the only way you can 2-3 shot a tank with a rail gun would be if it had no hardners and you have a dmg mods otherwise it would take alot more without dmg mods a proto railgun would take 3-4 shots to kill a tank that doesn't have a hardner if it has a hardner and turned it on before taking any hits it would take around 6-8 shots to kill the tank if they had 2 hardners in the case of shield tankes it would take even mroe than 7 shots to kill now with dmg mods it lowers the shots needed but does weaken your own tank in the proccess

It's obvious how much of a liar you are, shooting farther isn't a role, I guesd neither is sniping. And it doesn't take much aiming, since both blasters and railguns have pinpoint accuracy. I'm pretty sure you're not understanding me, but I believe that thr blaster shouldn't be killing infamtry as easily as it does, which involves decreasing rof for damage per round and reducing range in exchange for the railgun losing it's rapid fire. If that happens, things suddenly become balanced for rail to blaster tanks, besides shield to armor tank balance of course.

Let's look at the facts:

Railguns put out more damage than blasters quicker

Railguns have more range than blasters

Their accuracy is identical

The blaster's rof makes it better suited for anti infantry work

Blasters step on the roles of small weapons.

Nah. O'Dell's saying you're garbage if you big into farming infantry.
O'Dell is the rare breed of Tanker who sees imbalance as a problem.

tank plus 2 rail damage mods and any railgun = death to target tnak in 2-3 shots.

ok if it's accuracy is so pinpoint when targeting infantry I want to watch you try and hit a moving infantry target now when targeting tanks it is pin point accuacy but aiming at a far off moving target you won't hit that target so easy if it is infantry or say a lav or dropship moving at high speeds but it's fine you guys can live in the delusion that it's so easy as you claim

and this is why everyone is saying railguns are op when they ain't if CCP removed the railguns daamge mods it wouldn't be so OP as everyone says

message from Godin: Go home, you're drunk

No, the rapid fire would ensure thst they stay op, that's whst needs to be removed.

without blaster tanks in skirmish the game turns into wot's with both sides tanks just hunting each other down without giving any fucks for the objectives

and this is why everyone is saying railguns are op when they ain't if CCP removed the railguns daamge mods it wouldn't be so OP as everyone says

There is literally no lower level of noobery.

You might as well lump yourself in with the faglocks, lagdrivers, noob tubes (duvolles), murder taxis, and Chromosome rail snipers at that point.

It takes no skill to chill there with an armor tank that has more ehp than a squad of AV can dish out in DPS in one second.

It takes no skill to use a weapon that slaughters infantry even at 100m, is perfectly accurate, and has the hit detection of 1.4 assault rifles.

If you KDR means that much to you, then you are playing the wrong game.

The real tankers brawl with railguns and missiles (hard mode). Every kill is earned. Every kill is done outside of the redline.

For those of you who are aspiring tankers, do not spec blasters- it is the fastest way to get yourself nerfed. This is obvious because Pyrex is running blasters- let's make a list of things he liked and things that got nerfed- same things in each category.

STOP BEING A PUBSTOMPING BLASTER TURRET TOTING NOOB...also don't redline railsnipe. That is just as bad.


EDIT: Also, don't jump out of your tank right before you die to preserve your KDR- another KDR ***** noob move. Real cavalrymen stay with their horses- There's a reason that the Old Breed called them White Stallions and Grey Mares.

I believe that Railgun Turrets are just like Rail Rifles.

A long range automatic sniper rifle with spool up time, but can also be used as a Shotgun if needed.

Last night I was in a match. It was a squad of four (us) vs 8. They had two tanks rolling around, and I sent them a msg asking them to put the tank away since it was 2-1 odds.


NOPE!


He was from outer.heaven too. I mean.. there is being a loser, and there is being a loser. Dude mailed me back saying he was pure tanker so sorry but that is it. What a pu s S Y.


Given I hang with Musturd from time to time, I thought O.H must be a cool corp. Oh well.

No, no, no. I have a second tank character for blaster maddy. I created him back in may when I started the game to enjoy that mechanic. The correct thing should be to not just grab a maddy blaster fit as your default fit when you know that is such an FOTM. Rail is now also FOTM. EVen more so with the new mechanics.
