We've had a discussion with the CPM before and are aware of issues around Red Line Railguns - honestly we're not happy with them and it's something we want to address.
I personally spoke with Judge last night about this and we threw around some suggestions. As far as I'm aware, it's unfortunately not a simple fix because of the way that the projectiles are handled (and they're not a server-side change). I'll be forwarding this video on to Wolfman/Remnant though and seeing what we can do. :)
Thanks for pulling it together - this sort of feedback is great.
Yeah right go and remove railguns so that he can stomp around 24/7 with his derpship. Do you know how insanely hard it is to take down a dropship that has 3 shield hardeners with a forgegun? Its extreme difficult cause the charge time and damage had beeing reduced on them and swarms dont even get trough the shield recharge threshold when a hardener is running which means the damage doesnt even stick to shield vehicles. To even further enlight you swarms deal only 59% of their damage against dropships regardless if it is shield or armor. Can you please explain me why a light armoured vehicle is capable to do that?
So lets recap:
- 2 out of 3 AV plattforms are uselss against dropships (swarms+plasma canon)
-only real threat for dropships is a tank with a railgun or a forgegun which barely does the job
Judge may sounds you could reason with him but in fact he simply wants that his playstyle cannot be countered. If you touch the railguns then i would like to see forgeguns brought back to their former lvl. Swarm launcher damage efficency vs. dropships increased, lock range extended to 250 meters, swarm missile speed increase by 50%. You have to think about it WHY so many people are using a railtank vs. dropships cause most of the time its the only viable option. When you hit the pilot with a forge he just flips is afterburner on and gets out of range before i get the chance to hit im more then 2 times (proto assault forge).
And now about the "waves of opportunity" that judge mentioned. You notice that he has either 3 or 2 hardeners on his fits? With max skills there is no "wave of opportunity" there is just consistant stomping without a chance to strike back.
Or lets put it this way:
how many deaths does a decent dropship pilot get per match? 1-2 max if you are lucky to catch him. So you really think he needs a buff for his playstyle?

That's not at all what I said - and there are no plans to remove railguns altogether. But, I personally think their long range is what allows them to sit out of harm's way and dish out damage to Dropships.
Railguns are supposed to have long range. I dare you to change too much on it cause it could ruin the turret for good. Keep allways in mind how "adjustments" to weapon and turrets stats ended up so far:
-Large missiles
still garbage and its like winning the jackpot in a lottery if you kill a infantry player with em
-Laser rifles
nerfed and since then every 1 just laughs manically at the guy wielding it
-flaylock
got nefed so hard that it would be better to melee somebody then shoting that thing. Except you want to look like an idiot.
I could continue the list but you get the point. How about you would simply create a large forcefield instead of a "redline"? Where you cant fire from inside or shot from the outside into it. And yes you allready have the technology at your hands to pull this off. Ya know the forcefield that the MCC has where you jump out. Just create a efffect accross the whole redline. This would put a end to the whole redline sniper/railgun tank debate.
