So what is the advantage of Railgun in a battle? It is basically a conventional cannon with the range of a missile isn't it?

beside almost impossible to intercept, it is also multi functions. You can use it for anti ship, anti air, anti ballistic missile, for land attack etc etc, all in single gun. The shell is cheaper than missile too.
