Railgun tank is way too easy to use

Good pilots will adapt as always to proactively go after the one using the railgun tank.
In the short time that I used it I noticed that it has such a bad vertical aiming angle that it is completely helpless against an aircraft that is anywhere nearby.
It just became much easier to nail pilots who are derping around while thinking that the flare button can solve almost all their problems
@UP_Hawxxeye This. As soon as greedy transport pilots felt some heat, complaints came flooding in.
Start adapting. Stop thinking you can fly directly onto an objective with 6 people and capture it without any fear of death.

The other day there was some really good transport pilot in the other team. I went absolute HAM on them with the Railgun riffle, Liz missile and SOFLAM.
Being in plain view? Soflam
Flares? Railgun
Hiding on the Roof of the objective or out bounds to repair? Liz missile!
On the second time I hit the Hind so squarely in the cockpit with the Liz missile that it killed the pilot outright. @UP_LordPlumberGreedy. Just gonna add.
That tank can be used with one hand that can shoot across the map, made for basecamping. And no, it's not that easy actually to kill cause of aps and thermal smoke. It drives off to interior, it camps near interiors.I would be okay if I had any kind of warning of tank spawning in, being aware.
A viable counter was needed for transports and stealth. Now transport and stealth pilots need to try instead of just tanking hits and hiding now and then. This is a HUGE QOL improvement for infantry as there is something that will keep the transports from acting as gunships and provide a way to fight back against stealth helos
- @Psubond From the spawn across the map without no warnings and indicators instant death? Try what? Camp at spawn and wait for vehicles?

Um..Liz has that factor to see enemy transport through walls and such
@UP_LordPlumberI'm curious if you focused the railgun on vehicles as I "T1-ed" the rail gun a couple days past you, and can say I never really focused much on ground or air vehicles much as it takes 25 or so hits at full health, and it is hard to get the "last shot" for the kill with the railgun as it only damages a tiny amount per shot versus missile taking 1/3 health each hit. Also good tank and air vehicles pilots will take you out when you 6x scope glint so I worked over ground troops and not so much vehicles myself.
I found the railgun to be waaaay more difficult to T1 than the snipers, as it only has a 6x scope AND the reticle is super fat/wide and red/orange so it blocks the headshot views over 350 meters or more distance to where I didn't have the accuracy of the sniper thin crosshairs. I hit one guy at 450 meters, but 350 meters and less seemed to be best results. My accuracy was half as much as my sniper rifle kills, as "timing" the charge with a moving target is really a challenge. That said I got really good at burst firing mid range, but you got to hit all three or one and a headshot, and you to see them first and fire first as it takes forever to charge before firing...
The gun was fun but tough to fire with high accuracy long range on moving targets. That said, stationary targets are toast...so campers beware the railgun as most of my kills came from camping, completely stationary players using the strangely OP mid range guns that are somehow capable of lasering players from 250-350 meters in half a second...👿

How??? how do you people manage to focus long enough to get a gun to T1 so fast?
I have not gotten any gun past T2 all this timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=panvQJXoSIw
There are some spawnkills basically. I don't play tanks like at all, if i could do that, means everyone can do that.
