Am I not allowed to get desperate like everyone else when the same bugs exist for over a year without CCP even admitting that they exist.

Numerous bugs?

The only bug I can think of is the firing bug where the turret won't fire sometimes if you fire immediately after activating a module. That bug affects all large turrets though, not just Railguns, but it does happen more often with Railguns than the other turrets in my experience.

What other bugs are you talking about?

From the top of my head I can say the ghostfire bug where it looks like you are shooting (just like the Forge Gun I hear) and but you are not consuming ammo nor hitting anything, this will persist as long as you either let it completely cool down and switch views or get out and back in.
Also from the top of my head the bug where the Railgun will simply empty the whole clip on it's own without overheating or actually hitting anything (will show firing animation to everyone but impacts only to you). Only way to stop this that I can think of is reloading (will still consume ammo while reloading, but if you are quick enough you wont waste all of your clip) and getting out and back in.

What is the use of fighting if you haven't got a tolerable planet to fight over?

Good post though, CCP needs to know what's up. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...

I Believe they call that Lag? lol j/k ive seen it do that yes, but still happening to alot of weapons also where u glitch and hafta leave the sight or switch weapons. As a logi i also hate the bug where my equipment doesnt fully show up and i have 1 nanohive instead of my 3 different equipments showing..super anoying, i hafta log out of the entire game to fix that one.

Because Railguns are totally not a primary weapon on any vehicle. Or because Rail Rifles are totally not a primary weapon for any infantry who use them. The thread title used the nonspecific term "RAIL gun" rather than typing "Railgun" as a single word, suggesting it was one of those two, but not defining which. It's plausible that the phrase could be referring to any rail-based ranged weapon, which means the Magsec, Sniper Rifle and even your precious Forge Gun might be what the OP was referring to.

The same thing happens to railguns quite frequently. Somtimes the trigger doesn't work, reloading gets bugged so the load cycle stops and makes it impossible to fire. And after these latest updates I've encountered several occasions where the railgun fires dead on (at another tank mind you and not infantry that you could miss), but the hits doesn't register at all. But somehow the enemy tank is capable of firing back and do damage. I've lost several tanks these past few days due to such instances. The railgun is bugged to the point of being unreliable, and it needs to be fixed.

Nope, they want us to keep losing 660,000ISK Particle Cannon HAVs to SIcas w/ Militia Railguns for as long as possible... I mean, who's to say that a gun should fire every time you pull the trigger, yet only not fire when shooting another tank?
