Charlotte O'Dell Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 5	Posted - 2013.03.03 20:24:00 - [1] - Quote Someone explain to me how weapons designed to shoot targets from satellites and spaceships can't hit targets more than 50m (in the case of missiles) and 400m (in the case of railguns). Unnerf these things and make it fair,m immediatly. currently, missile tanks are useless and railguns lost their one and only strength- range.
Rachoi HavoK Core 17	Posted - 2013.03.03 20:52:00 - [2] - Quote in space, there is no friction. in space, there is nothing to cause the Rail gun slugs to fall apart, and nothing to make sure the rocket runs out of manuvering fuel. now... physics 101 on this is that the slugs the rail fires are going so fast through atmosphere they turn to dust after so far away. missiles need fuel to keep flying, and will run out eventually.... do the math in your head on that also, currently railgun tanks STILL HAVE ENOUGH RANGE TO SHOOT YOUR ASS ACROSS A MAP. that hasnt dissappeared, trust me, dont forget that railguns still have the MOST direct damage on them

Charlotte O'Dell Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 6	Posted - 2013.03.03 23:40:00 - [4] - Quote There are railguns TODAY capable of shooting 220 miles with a muzzle velocity of mach 8. i want that on my tank!

Once again, scientific ignorance. Current railgun tech is inefficient compared to it's potential in the future. Further more, there is no "Electromagnetic Field" or EMP that wipes out circuitry, it simply doesn't work like that. And don't say engine. It's a ******* nuclear reactor, not an engine. Also, I agree with the OP. The range should be greatly increased, especially missiles. Real-life missiles generally get farther than half the length of a football field.

KalOfTheRathi CowTek 185	Posted - 2013.03.04 12:20:00 - [9] - Quote CCP/Shanghai see a problem. Normally when OP QQ Kittens alerting them to it. Regardless of the problem they will apply the One tool in their tool box: The Wang Nerf Hammer Of Doom. Yep, it is still true that when you only know how to use a Hammer any problem looks like a Nail.

Do you really think the United States Navy would pay millions if not billions for a railgun that fried all their equipment? The EMP, if it could even be called that, generated from the railgun is so marginally small that it would be harmless to electronics. Railgun tests are done all the time, and they are recorded, in the same room, with ordinary recording cameras. The railguns themselves are electronically operated. A railgun is certainly not going to fry any electronics from it's 'electromagnetic field'. Seriously, do some research before you start spouting these unsubstantiated rumors.

Lillica Skysweeper Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 0	Posted - 2013.03.05 01:14:00 - [13] - Quote You know somethings up when a handheld swarm launcher has more range, more missiles, and tracking capabilities than a LARGE missile turret on a tank. +1 for range. That is all I want.
