As one of the very few people who use small railguns the buff kinda missed the point. You surely increased the raw damage on them but the efficency rating (the number that decides how much damage you deal) is still the same against ground vehicles. While missiles deal equally the same damage vs infantry and vehicles without drawbacks. So the efficency rating is still like this vs ground vehicles (tanks+LAV's)
-small railgun damage vs shields 77% -small railgun damage vs armor 66%
so regardless what type of ground vehicle i attack i allways deal less then 100% damage. So a advanced railgun deals 308HP vs shields and 264HP damage against armor vs ground vehicles. Small missiles deal 80% damage vs shields and 120% vs armor. This makes them first choice against infantry and vehicles. So in order that small rails fullfill their job they need the same damage profile like their big brother the large rails and that would be:
-90% damage vs shields and 110% against armor.
Buffing the raw damage itself is only a half done job you need to adjust the damage profile aswell. Cause that was allways the flaw of small railguns. |

Yep, the small turret changes didn't make it into Alpha. I'll be looking to put them into Bravo. The multiplier is likely to be my first stop, but I'll dig a bit more before I change it.

I thought we were holding that one back? I wasn't doing that change myself, but I'll certainly be watching how it goes then.

I wasn't doing that change myself, but I'll certainly be watching how it goes then. in game it says that for example the advanced small rails deal 400hp damage per hit. What i mean is the damage profile against vehicles. |

well something changed because I'm dropping mercs and LAVs at range like never before. Still working on that ADS kill.
Thr33 is the magic number.

The missiles actually do 50% or 60% instead of 80% on shields but do the full 120 on armor.. |
