Hi everyone i've been away for abit, but im back now putting in my two cent's so here it is.

From what i understood 1.8 was not supposed to be a vehicle patch or anything to do with them. So why is it everytime CCP does an update they go into a random direction and update something that was a core mechanic.
At one point in time in the begining of the closed beta CCP made large rails range unlimited and they could damage the MCC, was fun sitting in a tank squad and just shooting the MCC all game lol. Little off topic but i logged after 1.8 dropped to see how everything was a right away i started to notice all the little things CCP doesn't tell you in the patch notes like them nerfing large railguns range by HALF! i can't even shoot a dropshit thats looks like i can throw a stone at it enough is enough CCP, if you're going to update something confirm what you're doing with you're player base and i mean DO IT RIGHT. Beides that i do think CCP did a good job with 1.8 well besides from passive skills not working,forgeguns being broken as hell,swarmers doing to much damage even with shield hardners on, and a rediculous amount of typo's.....who knows if CCP even checks the content they are about to release but hey i guess thats why we all have to remain understanding that this game forever will be a beta.

The vehicle nerf was in a hotfix implemented a couple days after 1.8s release, and it did a lot to balance the game. I believe that railguns are now fine where they are. And the hardener nerd allows infantry to fight back against vehicles, even the "permahardened" variety.
