No different than redline snipers or rooftop campers really.

Why would you give a damn about redline tanks?
Not that they make enemy teamw win.

Except for the very few aggressive snipers that can manage 30+ kills some how from a point of relative safety their all pretty useless. Most get 5-10 kills by the end of the match and maybe 500+ Wp if you factor in kill assist. You can do better than that with a frontline starter fit. Sure your KD won't be as good but very few matches come down to clones any ways so going 10/10 with a starter fit does more for your team than some sniper. After all your at least drawing enemy fire and making them waste bullets and time to kill you.

First, there is no map in the game where you can shoot from your own redline into the enemies, so there is nothing stopping your team from calling in tanks.

Second, on most maps(Ashland is an exception) a redline tanker can only cover a single flag, so they will have no outcome on the result of the battle.

Third, chasing a tanker that doesn't impact your odds of winning in the hopes of some WP is not terribly bright. Why not just let him hang out up there, stay 300 m away, and let him bore himself to death shooting installations?

A redline tanker is not a disadvantage for you team, it is a benefit, the guy won't be helpful to his team, won't come out to play, be happy that it is 16 v 15.

Which map?

Boulder Rim? Nope

Fracture Road? Nope

Boarder Gulch? Nope

Skim Junction? Nope

Impact Ridge? Nope

Spine Crescent? Nope

Line Harvest? Nope

Iron Delta? Nope

Ashland, the tanks don't have the range to reach from redline to redline, but it is pretty close.

Manus is the only one where there is a chance of that happening, but because the lower side can spawn behind the hill, it isn't practical.

So yeah, you are kidding, or you have never driven a rail tank.

I'll admit that I haven't played much dom lately, but can you please post the map that you think this happens on, would make it better for discussion purposes.

Go there for the map images.

I haven't played dom on that map in a long time, but in both cases you have safe spawn locations in the back of the redline.

Heck, the most likely place to shoot from, the H 10, H 11 area, you can't even call in a tank in the redline there, you have to come out onto the road. And even then, you still have to come out of the redline to get sights on the enemy redline turrets.

Does the redline on the lower portion come up as far as the H line on the map? I thought it only came up to the I line there, which would put the E line out of reach. Could be wrong though.

you must not have played before they nerfed the range of the rail down to 300.

Wait a minute, you can't change the terms at this point.

The original claim was that you could shoot from redline to redline, and now its redline to objective?

Not cool bro.
