What are you smoking in that pipe?
Just curious because I want to be as oblivious to the world around me as you are.

I'll 1 v 1 you, say 1,000,000 isk first to 10

and if my scrubby tank driving ass beats you UA has to corp battle us

If I can get the drop on a Sagaris/Surya with a Railgun, my Blaster Sica can grind it to DUST (hehe, I said "DUST") before it can hurt me.

There are issues with stacking penalties on a lot of modules, so that's a problem, but Railguns themselves? No problem.

Last time I tried using them, Missiles still needed a slight buff, but other than that, I don't have a problem (and I run AV more often than tanks, but I do both).

This is a gamebreaking turret on tanks. It promotes camping like a little b**** (cough* chaos mistress and 0tryhard514* cough)and sniping any tanks willing to put up resistance. Railgun tanks do way to much damage for the little risk they take, and can 1 shot basically anything. Large Railgun 80 GJ or whatever can 3 shot most enemy tanks.

This is the one turret that is killing tank on tank combat. Please drastically change it.

Better maps fix this problem.

Partially at least.

1. If an 80GJ Railgun can three shot most enemy tanks, then call me a pirate and roast me over a grill. Unless the enemy tank is completely unarmored (2200-2600 EHP) and you have damage modifications, this isn't going to happen.

2. Railguns fire too slowly and the splash damage is too pitiful. Campers are better off using blasters which still have decent range and a much higher rate of fire.

3. I don't know, +300,000 ISK is pretty expensive, and that's the on the lower end of the scale. Further more, no place is safe from swarm launchers. In the open? They can target you very easily. In the dense underbrush? They can outmaneuver you easily.

Wait...What????

A QQ thread about rails? First off that they trump Anti-Infantry tanks...Ummm yeah, working as intended.

and QQ about redline tanking?? Are you new to Dust? Wait....No, IcyTiger, you've been here a while . Did you miss all the snipers and tanks hiding behind the redline for the last few months popping infantry with little to no risk to loss?


The redline, in general, has some bad mechanics tied to it....but don't blame the tank weapon.

I've seen blaster tanks sneak up on rail tanks and pop them....rare but it happens.

Not to mention you can deal stupid amounts of damage with a high level forge guns fitted with damage mods and that gun is carried in someone's hands, not fitted on the top of a tank, and much cheaper than an actual A/V tank.


IMO, tanks need a bit more tank (generally speaking) but they also need to be restricted from pubbies at certain levels and removed from Non OMS Ambush all together.

And you're saying I'm qqing?


The fact that railgun can deal 3000+ damage just from passive increases and damage mods, is ridiculous. The fact that it can do it across the map is ridiculous moreso, and just kills tank v tank fights.

This is a good point - why is every map a bowl, CCP? Can you find another way to do things?

My sagaris tank had 6000 shields, 1000 armor, and a shield resist was engaged. Maybe some swarms had me down to 5000 shields, but he cut through me no problem. Also, tryhard killed my Sica in one shot straight from behind his redline all the way back near the initial CRU, while I was at objective C on manus peak.

Again, I don't give two ***** about the infantry part, but railguns promote camping, and everyone knows it.

Sniping any tanks willing to put up resistance. Can 3 shot most enemy tanks

I find it funny that a tanker who've I've seen several times call his tank on top of sniper hill on manus peak and railcamp the whole game up there started this thread. QQ some more please, my tear jar isn't full yet.

Aircraft - Problem solved.

Done this twice with a Sica to take out installations...Your point?

Ok. Let's all wait a couple more years then. No worries.

The fact that you have even admitted to it makes your entire arguement null and void.

No it doesn't.

I abuse obviously broken mechanics in games all the time, doesn't mean I can't point out that they're broken and ask the devs to fix them.
