What is even more ridiculous is how impotent they are with tank spam. At one point, I was shooting at a tank directly in front of me, and when it started to shoot back at the installation, I exited, with the gun still pointing directly at the tank.

You would think it would continue shooting, because, you know, the tank is red. But no. Yet there is no end to them lighting up a red null cannon for no apparent reason.

Installations are a train wreck to date on a lot of fronts.

Stop playing domination and skirmish, go where dropships shine!

Damn domination where they do NOT die.

ME: I WILL CLEAR THAT ROOF!

Squad Member: Enemy has tanker in Redline
ME: HUH?

ME: OMFG

ME: D:

You guys alwsys about them. I can find only few redliners a day (mostly these dumb). Rest, just roll down and take a fight

My sica cost 80k :).

Maybe it is too strong vs dropships, but if it will get nerfed, then tanks (blasters etc) will run free like old murder taxi.

It's like losing a Thale's to a STD Tactical Sniper Rifle or STD Breach Scrambler Pistol

But I agree the redline should be fixed.

it's like losing proto heavy suit worth 150k isk and millions of SP to a militia suit when facing each other at 10m.

rail tanks should flat out be removed from game till there fixed ... hmm they can shoot across almost every map redline to redline with pin point acuracy with the fir rate of an SMG and stacking damage mods on them comon really you take a wepion that can almost one shot everything in the game and now they can stack 3 damage mods and sit in the redline and drop every dropship you evin try to call in. i know LOTS of people who just sit in the redline and pop every bolas that comes in.

remove rail tanks and rail installations from game especially the rail isnt. that are IN redlines for the love of god

Today I lost a total of 7 pythons (2 hours of playing). Each 500k isk to free redline railgun installations and 70k isk tanks. The railguns fire too fast, I don't even have enough time to turn on my modules. Somebody please fix this. This is getting OLD ccp. Losing fking expensive as hell assault dropships to cheap bullshit. 1.6, forge guns decimated all dropships, and now rails guns can almost kill it faster than the blink of the eye from 600m away. Forge guns are good but they also take skill and have a smaller range, you can literally one hit a incubus and even a python with a breach. It's like fighting an invincible enemy who is indestructible because how deep they are in redline and the fact that they repair so fast. And these fking tanks are invincible outside of redline too. Invincible to infantry, they take no skillpoints and cost 1/2 the price of a good forge gunning fit and are 20x as effective.

Suggestion:
-nerf ROF (like seriously)
-nerf range to 300m
-remove the ones (installations) in the fking redline that can cover the whole map and the sky.
-make it so they can only use 1 damage mod. (30% not enough for some... whatt??)
-nerf their elevation so it will be 3/4 of it is now.


A prototype railgun with 3 damage mods can do 3150 damage per second. That is almost like one hitting my python (200-300 armor hp left if you dont hit it in the weakspot.. And this is a tanked python with 2555 shield and 950 armor.

Foreges are fine IMO.

You know, when I see a dropship coming in, and there is a rail turret nearby, I jump in and blow that damn thing out of the sky ASAP, often before the pilot even has a chance to get in.

It's a railgun, a powerful long-range weapon. Why wouldn't I use it to deny the enemy resources? Why should it be made useless just because people give them nice big targets instead of flying evasively or calling in assets in sheltered areas.

If you fly high, they can't touch you (unless it's a tank and he's angled upwards, but not much you can do about that).

I see good dropship pilots outmaneuver the turning speed of a rail turret all the time.

Yeah, you should get a one hit I win button against a dropship before it is even a threat to you. Is that fair? No. Should this game be fair? Yes. Why? It's a game. Fair does not mean equal. It means everybody starts from a base standard and allows the game to actually get going before you just shoot the quarterback on the sidelines.
