Besides which, the idea of sniping Lasers instead of just laying down heavy blankets of indirect fire or using other BETA as cover to close in opens up the issue of presenting multiple Lasers with line of sight directly to your high-tech ass if you try to set up in a position that gives you a reliable view of the rear end of the BETA formations. Okay sure you could fire over the horizon I guess, but my point was that the energy per round they have at the moment is more than enough so why "snipe" piecemeal when you could just lay down a blanket of shells and get significantly more kills that way?

And in any case, if they lower the rate of fire, they would still also have problems with the power fluctuation control, which is actually what real world railguns have, on top of having a big enough fuse to control the electrical surge. I'm interested to see why the hell is there a flame plume coming from the mouth since its not explosive driven, even if its the independently propelled rocket rounds (BOLTER ROUNDS!) that should ignite outside of the barrel, giving considerably different thermal flares. It should act more like a laser pointer or torch light. Quote:

Other electromagnetic impulse designs for projectiles (railguns), using properly controlled heavy impulses of electricity in rapid succession, like electroplating methods, but in a linear form, can allow rapid acceleration of multiple projectiles down a liner path. However the trick is to get it done without any changes or 'vortex energy' in the path from previous firing or external sources, and reliable efficiency of the mechanical parts. Quote:
For laser class, as they stay behind the lines of charging enemies, indirect fire is best used, as can be seen by the use of the Type-87 support assault cannon in episode 2, though the ranges (1200m) seem more like standard rifle caliber trajectories rather then 36mm rounds. The projectiles are fired making use of the convex flight path to go over the terrain covering them from line of sight before curving down to hit the target. Someone still has to spot the target in range first though. Still, beyond line of sight direct fire is the best, which was why the OTH 1200mm Bus Driver Cannon was created against laser class at a Hive.

As far as I can tell, those tanks were trying to get the hell out while laying down the fire. They were going pretty fast in the opposite direction, maybe even faster than the fastest tanks can actually drive. The beta are not exactly slow either though. It's more like a case of the shifting front line catching them with the pants down, maybe?

Not exactly, the T-90 is 2.2 m high, while the Tank class BETA is 2.8m on average. We only saw the mouth part at Yui's scene, which was at the thread level on the tank.
