As I was shooting them down all day a few things occurred to me.
1. You have people piloting, that simply shouldn't be. They just hover or stay in a circle pattern. That's an easy kill for anything.
2. Pythons are the easiest. Like most shield vehicles, if you can get that alpha damage, you got them beat or neutralized. I see a lot of Pythons not using Shield Boosters, so they harden nothing.
My conclusion. 2 hits for an ADS maybe a little much, considering you don't need damage mods either. However, my argument for keeping rails stays the same. As AV is useless in this game, and basically boils down to lucky shots if AV lands a killing blow on you.
I suggest perhaps increasing the flight speed of an ADS. Like doubling it. Since we'll never have jets (what would stop those anyway) and attack vehicles need speed. This would still leave ADSes vulnerable when they slow down to attack. The window of opportunity is already their, it would just make it a little bit wider. Right now you have to wait for after burners and hardeners to cooldown if you want to take out an ADS. Most ADS pilots know that's the time to fly to the ceiling or low behind buildings. They usually get hit on the way to/from the burn zone. This would help them get in between those points faster, limiting the chance a rail has to pop them. As rails only get 5-6 shots.
The 5-6 shots may seem like a lot, but it isn't. If you miss (which happens often because of predicting the ADSes flight directory) you're out of luck until cool down and reload. You can't just fire 1 shot at a time, you have to hold down the trigger, or time between shots takes about 2 seconds.
In the hands of people like Ser Snugglez, it would be OP as heck, but he's an exception as you can't use extremes to properly measure something.

Sorry, but you can't reduce the damage or firerate of Railguns in this game with AV in the current state its in.
What are we supposed to do, just let tanks and ADSes have total control of the match and let them kill us over, and over?
I know that's what the VAST MAJORITY of vehicle users want, but its bullsh*t and they know it.
In a vehicle, you get to be a one man wrecking crew. So you shouldn't get upset when someone decides to fight back.
Until AV is brought back to a reasonable level, railguns need to stay. People are getting decimated by vehicles in 1.7, without rails, nothing would stop it because AV is an unbalanced joke and new players don't even have access to it.
Vehicle users are making insane amounts of ISK and getting a KDR boost, butr that's not good enough, they want more. They can't accept it when a player figures out a way to outplay them.
Its no different than someone b*tching about a Heavy with a Rail Rifle.
It sucks when you actually have to think and use skill in this game instead of letting your SP do all the work for you... get over it.
