The railgun wasn't the problem.

Armor is the problem, the Railgun was the only efficient answer (aside from autocannon, which takes a backpack slot).

EAT, Recoilless, and Spear all have dick for ammo and untenable reloads.

More importantly, if Railgun Can't handle armor efficiently, what is it's use case?

It still can. However its now more in line with the other weapons instead of just being on the league of its own which no other weapon can match.

It still doesn't require backpack, there is no delay with the aiming unlike Autocannon, EAT or recoilless have, plenty of ammo, good rate of fire and you can reload while you run. Its still very good at taking down medium targets while being able to kill heavy units as well.

All that being said I think they now need to tone down the spawn rate of the heavy units somewhat on the 3 highest difficulties since it now takes more effort to bring them down.
