    Just looked it up in the russian wiki. Its called "middle" there. So "average" is just a confusing english translation. The characteristics description is actually more clear and precise than in the EN wiki. It says its an additional data point in the splash damage fall-off graph (from max to min). Thus, splash damage fall-off becomes exponential instead of linear. So you got it right! I guess you could use google translator to check stuff in the RU wiki.

    So the splash damage for thunder at 5m got buffed by around 23%.. wow. I thought the buff was strong but with this its immense. And I never noticed cause I only used it like once or twice since then. I would put it on, see half the players wearing resists and switch it lol. Turns out they had a good reason to wear those resists. It actually was my first ever m4 turret. Gonna have some fun with it again. Btw, magnum still doesn't have this average splash damage mechanic, right?

    When did they buff the splash damage for thunder? Last thunder patch?

    Arcade is also good if you saw someone drug DD meaning he cant use DA due to cooldown, so you can finish him off in 2 shots. I also use arcade for enemies engaged in a close-range fight where I have no idea how much hp they have left and locking on a dying tank is a fool's errand.

    PS: In pro battles it's of course slightly different, there I take more arcade shots and lose more close-range fights..

    I actually get most of my kills with the salvo.. Arcade is only good for finishing off weak enemies or if you recognise that you won't have enough time to lock on and hit the target or likely won't survive until 3+ rockets hit the target. Especially in close range fights I only use salvo.. Isidas, freezes, twins, you name it. I always win close-range fights vs small and medium hulls because the m4 salvo overrides their repair kit... No other turret can do that, except shaft maybe. Btw, wearing striker resist is essential or you'll blow yourself up more often than is good for you. And I dont notice any bug. Sometimes salvo rockets miss, yes, but very rarely for me (it happens like 1 in couple hundred salvos that all rockets fly by). One can reduce the misses by choosing your position with respect to your target carefully, predicting where they are gonna move next. And also by picking the right targets.. And the targets in the "far far open ground" are exactly the ones that have a chance to hide in time. Source: Been playing and crushing with striker for the last 3 months. Practically didn't use any other turrets except magnum or hammer when I feel like it.

    You are a tester, right? Or just well-informed? I noticed that after the latest patch slightly less tanks got destroyed by the splash and thought it was weird, now we know the reason. But apart from that I am very happy with the patch. Less misses due to higher rocket speed and the reduction from 3 to 2.8 in aim time is very helpful as well. Long-range arcade shots are still hard against small and medium hulls. I try to avoid them unless the tank is right next to a wall so at least I do splash damage if there is no direct hit.

    Thank you for your invaluable contribution to this section troll. Gotta keep working on that post count, right dude?

    A fun fact for you, dude. I have used striker for 106 hours which is roughly 4x your play time. In those 106 hours I have gained with it 10x more XP than you. Meaning I beat your XP with striker by a factor of 2.5. lol. We shall discount that your striker is probably m3 while mine is 2 days away from being m4 shall we? Keep trolling on the forums nub which is all you will be good for. 3989 posts, wow, do you live here?

    Trolls have a tendency to ignore any evidence or arguments brought forward which makes it maddening and pointless to try and argue with them. Out of all my arguments about using striker, he picked the use of word "kiddies" to judge my game abilities. rofl Was clear to me he has no clue what he is talking about when he said massacre is the most suitable map for striker. It is in fact a pain in the ass to use striker there as I said in my very first reply which was skillfully ignored.

    hey, have I ever seen your non-noob skills in-game? Oh wait, that would be pretty f hard since you play only 10 minutes per week. But I am sure you have a main legend account where all the exciting things happen, right? Or maybe better: you have developed beyond the pitiful state where you actually need to play the game to show what you actually can do like the mere mortals. You now spend your playing time by giving invaluable advice to lesser players on the forums.

    I just got called a noob by a noob cause I used the word "kiddies" and apparently saying kiddies is an attempt to sound smart now and it is special "terminology" as well. Dude, are you like 7 or just mentally challenged? I could have called you much less nicer things if there weren't forum rules in the way. I think I will stick to the ru forum from now on. At least I know the clueless trolls there and can autoignore them. And btw, there are 2 first spots in team battles nubster.

    Let's Discuss Striker!

    lul I rarely miss out on the first spot in any battle in any mode when playing with striker. And I quite rarely use the "silly laser". But when I do its 1 or 2+ kills guaranteed. And there is no need to use it since single rocket dps is strong enough. Usually it is wise to stay quiet if you have 0 to little clue about something. But hey, as long as enough kiddies like you keep thinking that, I dont have to deal with too many resists huh ; ) And btw, striker is literally playable on every map except maybe Island. And the map you singled out - massacre - is actually the one where striker is hard to use on. Unless you stay put for the whole game and play with the "silly laser" that is. Because hitting single rockets on that map is a nightmare due to uneven terrain. And even the laser lock-on is hard to use since people can hide behind hills or in holes in no time. Clueless.

    less resists, yes, I see 2 in the 1st screen though. At least 1 is quite common these days in most battles with legends, depending on game mode. In Juggernaut you'll see more. The other reason is higher dps. M4 striker has 28% higher dps than thunder, which is after the recent buff of thunder. Thunder has stronger splash damage though. Third reason is the immense burst damage with the salvo which makes it easier sometimes to get kills and thus get a higher score. Fourth reason: it takes a lot of practice to hit most/90%+ single rockets and to recognise when using the salvo has a good chance of success. Some call such things skill. Almost forgot, striker also doesn't have damage reduction at larger distance.

    It still owns though.. (in the right hands ofc) But I admit those fly-bys right above enemy tanks are the most annoying thing when playing with striker. Not present in thunder or rail and could be fixed with slight vertical auto-aim during rocket flight. Or by increasing the projectile radius maybe
  16. Somebody should try it out. Take two identical tanks, make them push each other then one drugs nitro
  17. So, any definite answer on this? Does nitro only increase your top speed or acceleration/power as well?

    Does nitro increase your acceleration(=power) and thus your ability to push tanks as well?

    See title. Asked myself that after a hornet m3 pinned my viking m2 which had slightly higher power (by 50-70), but the hornet had nitro on.
