Yeah, it seriously isn't as easy as point and click. On a moving target it's more like fire an entire clip and maybe get the guy. Usually you don't.
If you are standing still, then yeah no problem. Just give me a few seconds to line up and boom you are dead. Unless of course you move ever so slightly one way and it's a miss.
It's really not easy at all to hit a guy with a railgun. It's not like we are going around demolishing infantry with a railgun. You are more likely to get hit with sniper fire or some other infantry weapon. Direct shots are not as easy as "oh the dot turns red so shoot". Jump in one and give it a shot then come back and tell me it needs dispersion.
I'm betting you won't get nearly as many kills as you think they get.

Um....... yes? So you want to alter the only think that vaguely resembles a conventional tank turret and turn it into a weapon that no only has a very limited range, but so splash damage upon round impact, AND dispersion (I'm going to assume you mean a meaningful dispersion as well) on top of those limitations? Well The 80GJ rail turret is ment to be long range against bigger targets. Dispersion i think should be added to all turrets(except the laser turret if ever added). But i would not mind if they added splash damage back to rails even if its 25 on the small and 75 on the large. just there ability to direct hit infantry can be annoying.
Annoying but hardly game breaking. And it's a rather hard thing to do. Honestly, I can't say that a rail gun has killed me, personally, recently at all when I run infantry. I def prefer running into those over a blaster or missile. I know I can dodge those rail shots with relative ease.
And something else that should be in mind is that dispersion has a very serious affect on their effectiveness against large targets as well, as demonstrated by a blaster attempting to down an LAV well within their max range.
