If you want to know how to use ricochet properly, simply read the name. "Ricochet". It used to be a weaker weapon, so using the ricocheting (another name for bouncing, why they call it "bouncing" is honestly either completely stupid or completely lazy) ammo was vital to best make use of it. The reason it is (or should be) considered silly to use Ricochet as an assault rifle as by using the ricocheting ammo, it is very much possible to avoid all damage and control midfield far more effectively.

how aboot after exams eh

try to last until the sale

You sound like you have no idea on how to use Ricochet properly.

Before anything else: ***DISCLAIMER*** This post is purely for satirical purposes. This post was not intended to berate any person, group or organization, but rather to express in an unorthodox manner of my low expectations for some members of the TO community. Introduction: I was going to wait a month or so for the next one, but I guess this anti-Hammer craze has started, and for an absurd amount of time. Read the disclaimer, and yes, this is all sarcasm. I also put this in Gameplay, as I found it more appropriate to discuss a turret in a gameplay section, as turrets are part of the game. (/s starts now) Hello, I am Loackie, a regular tanker like you. I hate Hammer too! It's stupidly OP and should not exorcist in this game! Instead of thinking about Hammer's disadvantages, I will refuse to think about them and revolve my strategy against Hammer revolving around going against the best way to fight a Hammer! Also, it's new, so I can say it's bad because it is different! This is why i don't like updates, because they change the game and make it different. First of all, it has too much damage! I'm using my Hornet and Railgun and I can't survive more than one or two shots from it! I find it impossible to use my back arrow key, otherwise I will increase my risk of carpal tunnel! Therefore, I, a loyal Hornet user, like all of you should go against this uprising and tyranny of this dastardly money-grab, Hammer! Also, its reload is too fast! I don't care that it got nerfed recently, it is still to fast to compensate for one of the slowest reloads in the game, and I should be able to beat anybody with ease, because I am using Railgun and Hornet! People in Starladder use it! Instead of timing my shots, I'm just going to run the Hammer into a wall because that makes it easier to aim for me! Therefore, Hammer is doubly OP. Another OP aspect is the range! I don't care that I paid attention to the V-Log and it explicitly stated that it was going to be a mid-short range weapon, it is too powerful for me! Instead of running away or trying to trick the Hammer, I try to beat it in close range with my Railgun, as all pros do all the time. I shouldn't be dying like this when my combination, Railgun and Hornet is easily the best in the game! I never thought I would have thought of it later, but it also came in a kit! Twice! I don't care that having a kit doesn't guarantee a win, I just care about the fact that it allows you to get Hammer earlier than you're supposed to! I also don't care about the Bulldozer kit because Thunder, Mammoth and Emerald are not new and therefore, everyone understand how they work, even Sergeants, as I have an alt account at Sergeant Major! Kits like Tornado and Legend are balanced because they are trying to get people into trying "XP Battles", or the only type of battles I refuse to play because I am too good for them. Also, the turrets were added in for money purposes! I have a theory: they make these turrets in under a day, as admins can magically make gold boxes appear in thin air, so they can do that to turrets and hulls too! You might be asking why they don't release them so quickly, and that's to give an illusion of them working had to release anything at all! I don't care that sometimes the devs make mistakes and that sometimes they make decent updates, this game is terrible and Hammer is a million times worse than their shrewd marketing tactics that I have the choice to completely avoid! (/s ends now) Credits and Afterthoughts: Thanks for making the Hammer thread full of "insightful" comments. As long as my computer is absolutely terrible and this game is mostly bug-free i'll still play this game, it's one of the best there is so far. I'm also most likely missing some things as my low expectations are most likely not enough for some of the facepalm-worthy stuff I look at every single day. FAQ: "But we didn't say that" I never said you or anyone else typed that, I said that's what I expected from someone. I'm going to get screamed at for being a total jerk and that I should be banned for libel, or something like that. Please note I won't even waste time to downvote your post if you do that.

It can't hold a position, it has horrible prolonged DPS. Once you get 3 ohkos against four hornets and no support, good luck. Same with one kill against 2 Vikings... Also, ever thought of out-ranging it? srsly i bet you're an XPer, so you have no excuses to out-range a Hammer. (unless you're bad like most XPers) Must I also state that I will NEVER be in Rusty Barrels, the Hexathlon, or any other event of the like because I can't seem to use my favorite turret without noobs crying in chat accusing me of buying millions of crystals per day. I also have to radically change my combination to pander to the idiots that (were most likely going to) accuse me of hitbox hacks and aimbotting, so now I use FireWasp. I'm also going to have to buy M3 Hammer separately from Viking (luckily i never liked it that much) to avoid being called a "noob spoiled buyer child" due to the kit. GOOD JOB TO THIS IS WHY STRONG KITS SHOULD NOT EXIST btw i'm just going to Ctrl+V this to any stupid responses, so don't bother. Give him more pil- I mean "medkits"

I'm beginning to wonder if these posts are read if it's not about a rebalance

Ricochet in a nutshell

Skipped to text box. Only thing worth watching.

He's right in kinda a sense. If stock (No MUs), it's not going to do anything impressive 1-2 ranks after it unlocks at, really. Meanwhile you're bad

AAAAAHHHHH Help me! This is urgent! NOOO!!! This is cruel and unusual punishment!!!! This is worse than being subjected to listen to GDFR for 10 hours! NOOO It's the end of the wourlllddddddd *sobs*

99.9999% you mean. We can't say 100% or we could get sued

Would never trade extra weight for sub10sec flag caps and no drift

I expected more from splitterpoint tbh .-. It brought quite possibly the most important thing in the game: The playerbase is UP and they know it.

10/10, no joke. It actually met my expectations, but then again I'm full of myself. >.>

Not sure if this is any good, but use Rico-Mammy and NEVER move. People will "exploit" you, when you can practice using the ricochet feature, instead of relying on movement to get you a straight shot.

It's awesome, I just need to condition myself with it before I start my undefeated battle record

Wow, I am still right! Y'know what, how about I do all the work next time for the next "rebalance"? EDIT: @ Panther, nice argument, but also realize this game is infamous for these types of changes with little to none player support.

Anyone notice something? :) No regrets

You're two years off. If you really need to, I can find a guy with a time machine for 30 million Family-Size bags of Fritos.

Any specific reason? I'm kinda anxious that M4 Thunder will be a very expensive investment.

As soon as I joined end of battle I'm better than Pizza. noscops fited (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Playstyle? Fav maps? What you like/don't like about your equip?

What to MU to M4? Choose a Turret and a Hull. M3 Thunder and M3 Hammer M3 Wasp and M3 Hunter
