If you have played the Dom map with the giant tower in the middle that you can't win unless you fly a dropship on top and put uplinks, then you know it is almost 300m high itself

the railgun tank is supposed to have a 300m range just like the forge gun. but I have been shot and killed by railgun tanks from halfway across the map when they were so far out of my range it must have been approaching 1000m

Anyone who has been on top of that tower in a Dom will tell you that I am not kidding, tanks can get over twice as far as a forge gun's range. You can't really shoot them if they stray every far from the objective.

There is no need to come on here and call me a liar. I don't have the equipment or patience to record a video for you. All I know is I have been shot and killed by a rail tank even though it was far out of my Forge Gun's range.

I've been in railgun tank engagements just over 300 meters apart and our shots were exploding in front of each other (at the 300m mark). Only until one of us moves into 300 meters or less does the reticule light up red and damage is applied. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

But I swear it has happened before, it glitched I remember doing it on my rail tanker. Hopefully they have hotfixed it stealthily.

All I know is I have been shot and killed by a rail tank even though it was far out of my Forge Gun's range. There is only one thing that can happen to give a fake range of over 300 meters. I don't know why it happens BUT the projectile is not generated at the body of the rail tank. It is shot out about 2 or 3 meters away from the body. If it is exactly 302 meters from you then, yes, it can hit you and you can't hit it. Other than that, it can't happen. That is the only effect. There was one instance where I was killed at 300 meters and I was unable to forge it with my, then, MLT forge and thought it was odd. I later pulled out a tank and got to 302 meters from an objective and tried hitting people that I knew were on or behind the objective and pulled it off before being annihilated. Lastly, you can get an extra meter b/c of splash damage. If he/she was using a damage mod then you might have been killed by a unit that blew up right in front of your face but the splash damage actually finished you off. My personal theory is about 303 or 304 meters would be the absolute limit of the railgun given my experiment.

I mean, even Skim Junction, one of the largest maps, is only about 800m - tops. Useful Links Aeon Amadi for CPM1
