Here's what needs to happen to rails:
1) Nerf damage by about 20-25% in accordance with the hardener nerf.
2) Buff range back to 450-500 range. It's supposed to be a longrange/sniping weapon, and with the following changes, that's the only role it will be able to play.
3) Vastly increase the fitting cost. Currently it's the easiest to fit, meaning it can also stack both defenses or damage mods with relative ease. It shouldn't be able to brawl with other tanks or heavy AV, it's role is to provide long range support, so I think this will go a long way to implement that.
4) Prevent movement while the large turret is charged. Rail tanks chasing down other tanks is a huge problem (CQB fighting), it's akin to having a charged sniper being able to hip fire a retreating heavy with perfect accuracy. Stopping a tanks movements while fighting will also prevent rails from fighting back if they're caught up close.
5) REMOVE THE REDLINE!!!. This is perhaps the most important. The redline provides a grossly unfair advantage to rails (and other unfair tactics) since they can shoot at many high traffic areas from the security of the redline. However, I do not want players in an unbalanced match to be thrown to the wolves, so I suggest either a series of bunkers or impenetrable bubble shields (or both; large enough to safely call in vehicles or provide spawn pads) to be used for protection and regrouping instead.
