I think a nice way to kind of balance the blaster tanks vs infantry would be to reduce the damage they do to infantry by X%, then to stop them from being useless increase the turn speed of large blaster tanks and make Gallente tanks much more maneuverable than Caldari. TO stop people from just throwing railguns on Gall tanks,( I dont know too much about tanks myself so this is from my small amount of knowledge ) increase the railguns CPU cost, but decrease its PG cost and increase caldari tanks CPU and lower the PG, vice versa with gallente tanks and the same thing could be done with hardeners for shield versus armor, and then extenders. This would make it so that if you wanted to run a rail tank, you would need to stay back or a blaster tank would run laps around you, making it literally hard for you to track it with your turret, whereas a blaster tank 200m from the rail tank would most likely lose.
Also, I think reducing the blaster tanks rang would be helpful, maybe making its optimal 80-100 and then it start to have heavy fall of from there. ( its a LARGE turret, not a assault rifle its going to have much more range than a handheld weapon.
I don't tank too much but I don't think this would would exactly nerf anything too hard, blasters would still be an effective AI weapon, but 3 shotting a medium suit won't happen very often giving infantry at least a chance to run away.

Do you honestly think Madrugars would be useless if they couldn't kill infantry with blasters?
You do realise they're faster and more durable by far than Gunnlogis, yes?
EDIT: I'm not saying they shouldn't be nerfed; I actually would recommend a blaster damage nerf re: infantry (although I would prefer a damage buff and a proportionate RoF nerf, tbh)

Not exactly saying they would be useless, but I dont think you would see them nearly as much as you do now. Yes they are faster and more durable but currently if you run up to a rail tank and just start shooting it head on, gunnlogi or not your probly gonna get popped first if you have a blaster and they have a rail.

I know this isn't productive but I will just come out and say that this is a bad idea.

Might help that you actually use and perform a role before you comment on it's performance , even more so if your asking to change the function and performance of that item or tools in that role .
A shotgun can 2 and three shot a heavy so should that get a damage reduction ..???.. scouts would have a field day lighting up the forums in contention , why ..??.. it's because that's what the shotgun is suppose to do ( I guess ) so when your dealing with a larger blaster on a tank  it shouldn't be easy to get away when you have opportunity to depart when you hear the sound of the tank and can check the mini-map , so that's ample time to seek cover .
Blasters take three to four shots and sometimes more , which is pretty comparable to the average handheld weapon but yet all I see on the forums is how they are overpowering to infantry . Get over it , three to four shots is a Shotgun on a heavy , CR or a Scrambler Rifle and hell the Scrambler Pistol is a auto headshot beast , well at least it was before they nerfed it like I've seen in the forums because I haven't used it in a while .That thing needed to be nerfed , it was way too easy to headshot someone while using a scrambler , I know how easy it was for me and I didn't even use that gun much .
When I use a blaster I can't one or two shot players and when on the ground I don't see players one or two shooting players while using blasters so if anything they are underpowered against infantry but they shouldn't mess with that gun because players think that they are invisible , hell run or find some cover .
Maybe they will hop out of their tank and one and two shot you with their Shotgun's and CR's .. I wonder would you like that instead ???
Stop asking for tiercide , your killing variety and the fun of this game at the same dam time .

Why would a larger thing do less damage towards a smaller target? no.
