The machine gun's not as recent as many people think it is, apparently. I did some digging and found this: It looks like the devs planned on putting it in the old Tanki, but it wasn't implemented.

Part 2: You've finally captured Santa. That wasn't too hard, was it? You'd generally expect a mythical Christmas entity to be tougher than that. Ah well, Santa probably was a bit sluggish from all the milk and cookies. That guy really needs to exercise more. After chaining him up in a basement, you need to get information from Santa. What information, you ask? Well, his giant bag of presents is magically enchanted. You need to say a special word for it to open. The final part of your plan is to make him cough it up. You take a bucket of ice cold water and splash it onto Santa's face. "Ho ho ho!", he exclaims. "What are you doing here, child? You plan on stealing my presents? You'll be disappointed. I've magically enchanted it. You won't be able to open it." "That I know", you reply. "By the end of tonight, I'll have the presents one way or another." Option A: Demolish Santa's sled in front of him. Option B: Eat milk and cookies in front of him. If you had fun "playing" this, you can do it again. Try out different options. I hope you enjoyed this!

M3 Railgun doesn't reload "extremely fast". It's much shorter than M0 Railgun's reload time, but it's still not very fast.

I like my M2 Railgun. It has pretty good rotation speed, so it solves my only complaint with M1 Railgun. I think I liked the cyan blue of M1's shots better, however. The magenta is nice, but not as nice as blue.

Really loving my M2 Ricochet so far. Really good DPS. This thing can destroy a M2 Viking in one clip at close range; that's how powerful it is. Not to mention how powerful it is against light hulls. Excellent impact force per second. It's hard for Shafts to get a bead on me when I'm pummeling them with this. Recharge speed isn't all that bad, but I'm still limited to engaging about 2 targets consecutively. The bouncing ability is really useful, especially in tunnels. I'm still learning new ways to use it. It's hard to aim. At medium ranges, it's really hard to hit a moving Wasp. It takes a lot more skill to aim it correctly than most people (including me, at first) think.

I love my M2 Dictator. 10/10 would buy again. Massive amounts of health. Not as much as a M2 heavy hull, but it's still a lot. Good speed. It feels a lot faster than M1 Dictator. With Nitro, you might be able to get a flag or two. Very stable. The height lets you fire on enemies on higher elevations. This is really useful with Ricochet. I'm using it primarily with my M2 Rico for now. Isida and Railgun are better suited for Hornet, I think.

^^

We're getting close to the 2000th post on the Dictator thread. dibs plz

It's a great combination, even at M1. It was my go-to medium range combo before I got Thunder. I can imagine it's become a lot more powerful since the auto-aim update. I'm going to MU my M2 Dictator like crazy. If I can max out the health, it will be extremely difficult to destroy; heck, the HP on a fully MUed M2 Dictator gets pretty close to M2 Titan.

XP/BP players (parkourists too) will be really happy with this update. I should probably purchase a PRO pass when the appropriate sale comes. Congrats to the devs for pushing this out in time for the holidays!

Once I get M2 Dict, I'll be only using that and M2 Hornet for a while. :lol:

The party's going to be at 3:00 PM for me, if my conversion is correct. I'll confirm if I can attend later tonight.

Got M1 Rico. M2 will come soon, after the rank up party.

Woot!

First page!

I'm not the only person who happens to look at the "What to buy, Which is better?" or "Advice of experienced players to beginners" threads, both of which you've coincidentally posted on recently. I check them whenever somebody posts on them. In addition, you should mind your language. M2 Ricochet and M2 Thunder are both very good; just pick the only you like better. Cedar is generally better than Corrosion. I haven't gotten the opportunity to try M1 Hammer, so no comment on that. What paints do you have right now?

Smoky honestly goes well with any hull, but at the M1 level, I'd recommend either Wasp, Hunter, or Dictator. Pick your favorite out of the three.

Tundra is definitely not a waste of crystals. For 30% Railgun protection, it's really cheap.

+ lots of MUs.

There's nothing in the rules saying that you can't have more than one account. Please make sure your information is correct whenever you cite the rules.

I don't think many people actually know how to pull that off (never heard of it before), so it's probably lag in most cases. It would be useful for preventing Smoky deflections, but I don't think it counts as cheating. In any case, it's probably quite risky to pull it off during tense combat, since double tapping the pause button could be very inconvenient.

When you "silence" the Railgun via the pause button, it takes away the glow as well. The shot itself is still visible, but players won't be able to notice you aiming at them. Good for stealth, I suppose.

pfff my MUed Cedar will be waiting for you

I point it at a nearby object, like the trees on Rio, when I'm not done charging or targeting. While my enemies do see it for a split second as I snipe them, camouflage helps immensely in preventing them from knowing my exact location.
