Yeah I've seen you. Chillin in random spots wih your gunnlogi. I brought my Sica and followed you thinking I was cool.

:P railtanking is alot like "proper"" sniping.

its all about position

move oftin trading one position for another more advantageous one as quickly as you can. the battlefield is always changing and the best spot to be in is also always changing.

check your map oftin! just not while inside a socket... or you fall through the map!

learn your timing... leading your targets, especialy infantry, is an artform!

if your main tank gets poped bring out a DMG mod tank and slowly trade ground with them untill they screw up and then 2 shot them :P this should encite much rage at wich ppoint your can camp their redline with the DMG mod tank and get free tank kills the rest of the game (untill try switch too swams, then just run and recall either swapping to your main tank or wait for them to bring out another tank and 2 pop it again :P

i had ALOT of practice back in the day and even without a maxed out tank i ran toe to toe with the best.

It was like that. But after changes, Madrugars are anihilated by everything.
Large Missiles are now wrecking vehicles. They're better than ever.
Also now with new flux orbitals, it's not safe to stay in one place. Smart guy will drop fast flux OB and someones gunlogi [cuz madrugars are wrecked too fast] is left with that 1,5-3k armor.

Back in chrome tanking was rather ruthless, you either knew all the spots and angles of attack or your got 2 shotted by someone who did. back when the specialised tanks were gods (i cant even remember their names now...) i never had a proto rail, and i never had one of the specialised hulls, but i ran with and against the best all the same. i remembeer shooting down Bolas' for fun and revenege (for crashing and not binging your ****) i remember 7k WP games i remember shooting someone as they were falling out of the MCC from 548m away with my rail i remember going 59-0 sitting behind C on manus peak with 2 gunners in my small missle turrets each grabbing 15+ of their own kills i remember being a gunner in xXBlackhole NovaXx's blaster myron, dropping 7-10 orbitals a game then Uprising 1.0 came and ruined it all with 20m rendering range and i had to move on. But im returning to my roots, i may be a little rusty, and my aim isnt nearly as good as it once was but it will all come back to me soon. beware the rail.

Most railgun players I see are hidden far away in the redline.. I call bs on that last statement as red line railing has been almost eliminated since the 50% range reduction on large rail turrets well to be fair they still sit inn the redline... they just arnt very useefull back there Minmatar is Winmatar Creed of the Minja - "I'm a leaf on the wind" I am Chances Ghost

Only to find out how rail has been nerfed to the ground. A suggestion, don't use large rail alone, unless you plan to hide in redline. i have wycomis inside :P its actually quite nice right now. none of the innsane splash damage but alot of the bugs seems to have been worked out. i just went 19-0 with just a large rail (and a small one up front :P for a gunner or swapping for dancing AV) aside from falling through a map and the infanate reload/shoot glitches (that seem to be fixed by simply preessing the fire button) its actually been alot of fun making thosee insane long range shots on infantry. its a hardmode sniper rifle that rewards aim with a 1HKO Minmatar is Winmatar Creed of the Minja - "I'm a leaf on the wind" I am Chances Ghost

A skilled blaster or missile will dominate a railgun because of the slow RoF and quick overheat. I did, at least. I was a tanker in 1.7, I adapted because they were OP. It didn't take long to catch on and compete with the "best" and post 7k. Tanks are still easy mode, you're in a huge death machine, what more could you ask for? rule one of railguns.... DONT OVERHEAT! space your shots and save holding down the trigger for the deathblow. i also never reeally run alone in my tank, i either have a gunner or another tanker with me :P Minmatar is Winmatar Creed of the Minja - "I'm a leaf on the wind" I am Chances Ghost
