This weapon would be a Anti-Ground Vehicle weapon.

For those that don't know what a rail gun/cannon it's a weapon that fires/shoots a round, that doesn't use gun powder/fuel, but uses a EM field an could put a hole in a tank. Like cutting a hot knife throw butter.

The way it can be used is that 2 hits an can take down a Scorpion or Necris
ground vehicle = to the Scorpion, in armor. But the Hellbender/Goliath take 3 shots, an for the Leviathan or Necris = to will take 4 shots to take out.

And if you/enemy player(s) try to link/repair a vehicle, an lock on from the rail gun/cannon is fired. Meaning unlike the AVRiL, you have to lock on to a vehicle with/without a driver/player(s).

Why a second anti vehicle weapon. The Avril is already powerful enough.

Wait, you want a weapon that takes out the leviathan in 4 shots?

What would be the point in using the levi if it get's taken out in 4 shots?

This is UT we have our own anti vehicle weapons and if you like the ones from other games then those are the ones you should play...rail guns have no place in UT we have a ton of weaponry to kill vehicles with..

This gun would give way too much power to players tht arnt in vehicles. I mean 4 hits for Levi?!?! The point of vehicles is tht they give you an advantage, it'd be pointless to level the playing field anymore than the aVril has or no1 would use vehicles.

4 hits? Wth. If a levi can't withstand 4 hits then why make it at all. Even though I hate avrils..

Well 4 hits for a Levi was just an example, maybe 8 shots would be better. Now thinking about maybe the rail gun/cannon can be a turret for team bases or nodes. Plus have a 1 second belay between shots.

Your right, but adding some thing new may not hurt that much. Ie the hoverboard comes to mind.

As a turret, this a usable idea. Custom map content!

Id' rather the Rail Gun as a Sniper Rifle replacement (Eraser anyone?), but not as overly powerful. it could be used to shoot through vehicle and hit players hiding behind.

The rail gun is just associated far too strongly with Quake. It'd be like putting a flak cannon or shock rifle (or bio, or ripper) into Quake4.

Plus, something like this already exists. UT2004 had turrets similar to this (although I don't think as powerful) and I believe I have seen video of UT3 with turrets like this already.

sorry i dont like the idea of this weapon...its too overpowered for ground soldiers. 2 shots for a tank? lol

IMRO, we have a Sniper Rifle and a Shock Rifle - we have no place for a Rail Gun. I have nothing against Rail Guns, btw, but we have two similar options already. :)

Now thinking about it. It would be overpower & not really if UT3, as for ground or turret. I got the idea for an old school rpg game & thought it may fit here. But guess not.

This is a railgun (http://www.toadking.com/6x9=42/railgun.jpg) the most closest thing to this in UT3 is gona be the SPMA.

Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee.

"That's not a railgun."

FHWOMP!!!

"Now THAT'S a railgun."
