Good video judge.
However, I would have preferred just a montage of 100% - 0% dropship HP in under a second.
Plus some footage of the futility of attempting to oust a red-line rail tanker from their sniping.
Being invincible is bad.
Having that DPS is bad.
Having both is insane.

Sure, I'm not a DS pilot, so my comments are invalid, but until there is more sensible counter to DS I'm all for redline rails.

Oh can anyone tell me if this looks right
Swarms 175m
Rail Turret 600m
Blaster Turret 225m (the longest I've been killed by one)
Missile Turret ? I haven't seen a long distance kill yet cause their not really used.
Missile Turret from
Asslt Dropship 215m my longest death
SWARMS SUCK I WANT MY SP BACK Today's tanks have great range, no reason tanks 20,000 years in the future should have LESS range just because you say so. Dust tanks use very powerful magnetism instead of explosive charges for the railgun, why do you think it's called a railgun? I'll accept a nerf to rail range if snipers get a range nerf. You do realize that this whole topic is about railguns relation to the redline, right? You do know todays tanks can't park in the redline, right?

Vell0cet wrote:Judge: I asked this a few pages back. Are there changes to the aerial redline mechanics that could be made that would allow DS pilots the ability to take down glass cannon redline rails and get out without allowing them to spawn camp? What if the aerial redline timer functioned like stamina/cloaks. This would potentially allow enough time to enter the redline kill the tank and exit, but would have to wait a significant period of cooldown time as it slowly recharges? I'm thinking this would make spawn camping more difficult, but still allow for penetrating the enemy redline long enough to kill rail tankers and snipers. Seems like a more elegant solution than nerfing turret elevation.
Speaking of turret elevation, it would be interesting to see the radius overlayed on the center of the map of the "cone of safety" above a tank at 100m and 200m for both the existing 45 degree turret elevation and then the same circles with your proposed changes. I suspect this would make most of the middle of the map safe for dropships at 200m if the rail tanker is in the middle of the map (presumably where people want them to play). In a way your proposal would actually encourage rail tanks to remain on the periphery of the battlefield.
I think the better solution is to change redline mechanics for aerial vehicles such that DSs would be reasonable counters to redliners without being able to spawn camp effectively. Caveat: I'm neither a pilot or tanker, I just want fun balanced fights. Much respect, and thanks for your hard work and intelligent efforts.
Or,
get this...
remove the redline.
Find another way to not get camped, it's not hard.
CCP lacks creativity and incentive. |

Feeling skittish? No problem, we'll give you a safe zone to shoot from where nobody can get to you!
That's quite a reputation you have there...
LOL,
"Dust so hardcore"
what sort of delusional red-line rail tanker could utter such words? |
