They were a worthless turret before, they'll be worse now that rail guns have the same optimal range as them.

I don't even have the luxury of knowing I can outflank rail snipers, because they're operating in the same field as me.

I'll still need a damage mod to kill a hardened tank (even with XTs), so the hardener nerf doesn't really help me. (This is, incidentally, why I empathise with the people complaining about shotgun proficiency changes)

I can't fit a damage mod now, because then rails will insta gib me. I don't even have the defense of mobility.



No, these changes have, as usual, screwed over far more things than they thought they would.

I think you misunderstand.

Missiles aren't particularly 'anti-armour', in my experience, despite what their damage profile might tell you. Tactical play is always the same.

Previously I had the benefit of rails trying to exploit their enormous range, and I was therefore able to sneak up on them while they were focused 400m away.

Now? A rail is like a giant slug shotgun.

Which hits harder with the same range cap than my giant buckshot shotgun.

Thereby missile tank's roles have been cut even further.

You shout READ before you rage, moron.

I said 'rails NOT outranging my missiles negates my purpose'.

Missile spam BS?

Go try them, have fun, GL, come back when you're sick of using a turret that barely kills armour tanks, let alone a hardened Gunnlogi (protip: missiles are pretty much incapable of killing a hardened tank of any kind).

And I swear to God infantry just giggle when I fire a volley at them. And ever single one misses.

I often need to fire two bursts at infantry to score a kill, which represents 25s of time and a full sixth of my ammunition capacity, with very low chances of restocking thanks to CCP's brilliant placement of supply depots.


Railguns just got buffed, too, you twat.

EDITED for spelling.
