Most of the turrets' names describe the turrets' special effects; Freeze indicates that it freezes enemies, Firebird indicates that it burns enemies, Ricochet's name tells you that it's shots ricochet. Not all the turrets are like this, obviously, because Thunder, Smoky and Shaft don't tell you much. A railgun is an actual type of gun that is currently being experimented with. Anyways, we could call the turret 'Gyro' because of its gyroscope effect, which seems to be its special power. Russian: гироскоп. Otherwise I would call it Storm, because it shoots a storm or a cloud of bullets at enemies. This is also a popular name on the russian forums.

It takes ten seconds from an empty clip to load to full in a Rico M2. And if you empty your clip and keep shooting a bullet at a time, there is one second in between shots, faster than in a smoky. I can confirm that it was spark.

All of the three above posts shouldn't exist... please keep posts on topic

Currently Rico M2 is my main turret, and I can attest that it is extremely good. I probably have a 2.5 D/L average with it. It is wayyy better than Rico M1. I can say that I could destroy any comination of my rank with my M2 Hunter/M2 Rico, as long as it is one on one. Rico can take skill, but as soon as you learn to play it, it can be a lot easier to play than the other turrets. Basically, you need to learn how to aim while on the move, and shoot at other players on the move. You have to aim slightly ahead of them. You need to learn how to ricochet. I often times play one single map for weeks, learning all the ricochet angles. There are so many amazing rico angles in polygon. Also, ricochet is NOT just a medium/close range gun. I get tons and tons of kills from long distances, probably more than in close ranges. Advantages: Extremely high DPS, much higher than twins. Imagine an M1 freeze, but way longer range. Ability to hit people from cover, and hit people who are hiding behind cover with ricochets. Twins cannot do this, to hit people they have to stand wide open to get hits on their enemy. Ability to knock peoples shots off; this is really useful for a skilled rico player. It probably knocks tanks off about like a M0 Thunder, though I haven't checked the stats. Long range; it has way better range than twins; also, damage does not die down to much with range, unlike smoky. Very good gun depression; it, along with twins, have very good gun depression. Up to 45 degrees, more than any other turret. This gives it the tang a huge advantage in a multitude of situations. It is similar to a smoky, but more like a semi automatic one; it can fire two to three bullets every time a smoky shots, so long as it has a full clip. Fairly good turret turning speed Ability to self destruct by shooting itself, you can usually do this faster than self destructing, if for some reason you want to. You can do some pretty cool flips in a Rico/Wasp In my opinion it works pretty well in every hull. Disadvantages: Slow shell speed Similar to smoky, but without critical hits, worse range, and less knock back. Has no way to damage multiple enemies at the same time, unlike Thunder, Railgun, Freeze, Firebird, Hammer, or Twins. After it fires its ten shots, it is very vulnerable. Random Tips: One thunder shot = two ricochet shots, so when facing a thunder, get at least two shots in for every shot you take. Railguns are vulnerable to this turret, it is easy to knock their shot off at the last second, and get behind them and kill them. If you have a fairly high hp hull, you can oftentimes kill freezes and firebirds, even if they start shooting first. If facing a slow tank like a mammoth or a titan, use circling and side strafing techniques. You will be nigh invincible. You can even use this tactic against fast tanks. Use alleys and side routes and stealth; attack your enemies where they don't expect, and use your hight DPM to kill them before they can even turn and shoot you. I think of this turret as the anti thunder. It is designed to kill thunders, pretty much. When attacking thunder, charge them so that when they shoot they damage not only you but themselves. Then you can kill them before they can shoot again. I have my scale for turrets and anti turrets: Railgun Firebird Thunder Isida Ricochet Freeze Smoky Smokies are designed to fight railguns, Freezes are designed to fight firebirds, Ricochets are designed to fight thunders, and Isidas don't really have an opposite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAsJt2PMB4k

Hello, this is snakey123. I am a fairly good tank player who is really bored with this game at the moment... so I have decided to try to mentor some new or old members. If you are interested post below, and add me to your friends list. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am better than average at the game. A recent video of mine: Sorry for the terrible quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAsJt2PMB4k I play mainly on EN1, or EN2. Meet me in game if you see me, and I will be happy to answer your questions and help you in battles. If you want my help you MUST speak good english. I don't care about your age to much. Hopefully this isn't against some game rule. Again, if you are interested, please tell me in the comments below, or I won't know who you are... I have a 300+ person friends list already...

took over and killed them with his giant garbage disposal, and then turned the entire earth into a mushroom farm

Ruler of the world.

I swallow the poisonous snakes whole. Over the past nine decades I have been building up an immunity to all sorts of snake venom. To the following user: I literally rip you heart out with my bare hands, and throw it in a meat grinder, followed by a toss in the wood chipper. Then I force you to drink it. After you drink it, I rip out your stomach, and put it in the incinerator. I feed the ashes to birds. I turn the birds into dog food. I get all the bags of dog food, and launch it in an intercontinental ballistic missile, right into iceland. Then the entire country of iceland i obliterate. The dust is launched into the dark, cold heart of space. Whatcha going to do???
