Thanks to "ugg reset" (you're the best), I learned something AMAZING about railguns- if you keep holding the trigger after the railgun fires (doesn't matter what type), it will immediately follow up with 2 more shots- no extra charge required, but it takes a toll on the heat.
After I found this out, I preceded to try out both small and large railguns in a skirmish (line harvest)- during that skirmish, I took out a dropship, 2 or 3 LAVs, and "sniped" countless infantry between both railguns. This ofc resulted in someone on the other team catching on and the battlefield being cleared of everything that wasn't fast enough to avoid them (the snipers even got wise and hid until the installations were destroyed).
At least for me, this brings in a whole new realm of gameplay, and a hope against dropships.
(btw, as long as I'm on the railgun subject, their range increases with tier- my shiney new advanced small railgun has almost twice the range of a militia one) |

That's the beauty of it; missiles still stand a chance- IF that is- the railgun doesn't start shooting first  |

Even standard small railguns OHK most infantry. I wouldn't suggest attempting to fire more than 1 shot at a time with compressed though, just because of the overheating.
Might as well just save the money and use a regular advanced railgun |

Might as well just save the money and use a regular advanced railgun killing infantry is an after though with this gun since you need a direct hit to kill. if you stagger your shots you can get a continuous stream at about one shot a second and a half appart without over heating..
I should try that. Killing infantry is pretty easy IF they're still or barely moving- such as snipers and (most) people hacking.
Even if you can't hit, it's a damn good weapon just to scare some people away- especially when someone is just running around, then a bunch of electric explosions from seemingly nowhere start hitting all around you. |
