An easier way to fix this is to make the rail guns MORE like forge guns.
If they did the same damage and splash then the tank will have its shields and armour whilst the forge gunner has manoeuvrability.
It's a fair fight. If some one has got a PROTO forge gun and spent the SP to get there good luck to them, HAV drivers better put more SP into survivability rather than PEWPEW Glass cannon tanks.

You've obviously never skilled in HAVs. Majority of us have actually maxed out our Vehicle skills, not just turrets.
I obviously dont need to, as I have friends such as Ted and Lurch who can do that for me. 
Plus I don't see them whining on the forums, I watch these guys drive alot and they 'play the game' they stick to the edge of the map and their gunners i.e me will get out and deal with AV, rather than trying to direct hit a heavy at close range with a missle.
The things that people are missing is TEAMWORK, this will keep the tank alive. If you cant keep a tank for more than two games then people should brush up, or find better gunners. |

I take it you dont drive?
Ther is only so much you can do, i have perfect support skills for my tank and if i wanted i could whack it upto 10k shields but tbh that would be useless because the resistances got nerfed and i have no room to for them anyways with a 10k shield, even the active 10sec active 30sec cooldown useless tbh but better than the nerfed passive mods, AV can hit me from across the map anyways without even trying before i even get into killing distance
So i swap to a armor tank it gives me more hp overall like a 8k mauarder or 10k plus suyra but whats that i can see? oh yes swarms from across the map hitting me because they bend around cover like that and wiping out shields and more armor because they have a 30% damage bonus to armor
Tanks are weak when compared to AV to begin with so we dont have much choice anyways since resistances got nerfed, 2 out of 3 turrets got nerfed, AV does more damage to armor tanks and also armor tanks do not have active resist mods either
As for the Large railgun should act like a forge gun lolno maybe the small can but the large should always do more range/dps/splash damage and radius than the forge gun
DidnGÇÖt see this English, but no I donGÇÖt drive on this character but I have been driving for a friend every now and then, Im mostly a gunner for Ted and Lurch.
And as such I really cant talk to much about the mods used or survivability of armour tanks as IGÇÖve never driven a Suyra or Marauder. But you know better than me where to sit so those pesky swarms slam into rocks as soon as you drive back.
My comment about the Forge gun / rails wasnGÇÖt to say the large should be the same as a forge but L.Rails obviously aren't as good as a proto forge at present, I was merely trying to say increase the Large rail gun splash and damage (within reason).
I think the major factor that people are forgetting is that without teamwork a HAV has lost alot of survivability since the patch update, gunners should be chasing down AV and the spare person in your squad should be up in the hills chasing down forge gunners and SL users (preferably with a sniper...)
it's going to take an attitude change from 'LOL we have a tank = insta win' to 'TANK? Lets make sure we are keeping the AV in check , if we can keep the magnificent bastard alive we can go on to win the match!'
