rails beat blaster at range / blaster beats rail up close
I'm going to have to disagree with this one, the rail will out alpha a blaster tank at close range |

I'm going to have to disagree with this one, the rail will out alpha a blaster tank at close range again, ur right on rails havign much higher alpha, but they also have a much higher heat build up and a decent cooldown period, so if a blaster tank manages to survive the initial onslaught from a rail tank, its liable to be game over for the rail do to the blaster sheer DPS potential
This used to be true, a few builds ago prior to introducing damage mods and damage skills.
I will tell you as of right now with shield tanks a rail will beat the blaster every time, as long as both drivers have the same sp and whatnot |

But it has just to many drawbacks like slower rate of fire then railguns, less accuracy, very slow flight time and with that easy to evade (well at least the large missiles). Personally when you really insist on using a shield tank with a large blaster turret then put 2 cyclic small missile launchers on it aswell. Some extra firepower against armor tanks is allways usefull. Are you sure they do explosive damage? Missiles can do pure Kinetic, Thermal, EM or Explosive in EVE, no reason they won't do any one of them here. Without testing, though, we can't be sure what they do, and we can pretty safely rule out Therm and EM... If you did the testing, please say so and then ignore what I said here...
I'm assuming they are explosive because they have 130% efficiency to armor and have less than 100% efficiency (Not sure of the exact number because I haven't used missiles since they got nerfed) |

I will tell you as of right now with shield tanks a rail will beat the blaster every time, as long as both drivers have the same sp and whatnot I dont tank but id say listen to him. Few times ive grouped w/ slap its always entertaining. The nastiest event was when the we were in ambush last build, the other team took out 3 tanks right away (sag, mad, soma). Slap called in his rail tank, i jumped in gunner and w/in one minute there was only one tank left on the field. A skilled rail user is deadly even in cqb areas
I remember that game, good times |
