Somkey's Critical Hit.

[JamesM10 14]

I think Smokey's critical hit should either be removed or amended for this reason. Tanki is meant to be a game of skill and strategy, but the smokey's critical hit is PURE luck.

 

I know all the smoky user will probably have a go at me, but the critical hit requires NO skill whatsoever, perhaps if it was developed that you go a critical hit if you hit a tank in the same place twice ( I know that might be a bit difficult, but perhaps something a bit simpler)

 

What do you guys think?

[I3loodShot 3,119]

No, i pwn with it

[JamesM10 14]

No, i pwn with it

Congratulations you win with luck ;)

I think that is ok, its a feature of the weapon after the rebalance, now we can play with that again.

TankiOnline is not a game of skill or strategy, once you got drugs, everything is gonna fall down.

You need skill to not make your enemy (no drugged) a LUCKY guy.

Useless information... <_<

The best thing is when you destroy someone who's drugging! :D

To me is kill someone more skilled than me.

That is a challenge = fun.

True, I usually play with Major and above. I know I have no chance of winning but I'd rather have a challenge instead of it being dead easy :) (I have won once)

I think Railgun depends on luck too. I am able to kill an M2 Hornet in one shot with my M2 Rail, but that that might never happen. I'm also supposed to kill a Hornet M1 in one shot, but that all has to do with luck.

It's annoying that I can't rely on that. But if they would make Railgun do one specific amount of damage I wouldn't be able to kill an M1 or 2 in one shot at all.

My point is, the damage itself might not require any skill, but still, to be good at using a certain gun you do need to have some skill.

It's such a vast difference of damage though! And smokey shoots far quicker than rail does, if you get hit by a rail,you usually have time to get to cover before they can shoot again.. Perhaps if you get a critical hit with smoky it has a longer reload or something?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Outside the critical hit, smoky is weak... it needs that critical hit.

It's still hard to play with smoky, your aim has to be really good.

I dont have much experience with it, perhaps im wrong and its fair, i think i need to buy a paint to proctect against it maybe?

Rails can kill you in 1 shot (sometimes), Smoky has a little chance to kill you in 1-2 shots.

I agree.

If you have Wasp or Dictador it becomes harder, same happens to Rails.

[Daslec 82]

I disagree.

 

Critical hit is good for who have smoky M3. To them, the weapon is a gift after the rebalance.

 

But even rico before rebalance was not so powerfull as is smoky now.

Playing in kungur, by example, we cant move from respawn without a critical hit. All team. We only got out when others smokies joined in our team to give some cover.

In a game we count how many critical hits we receivbed. I had 46 lost. 25 by critical hit. Now smoky is the new shaft. One shot, one kill.

If smoky have critical hit, why thunder, rail or rico dont have? The rebalance should not be a way to a game more fair?

Im not talking about paints because if the enemy team have 3 smokies, savana or needle will do nothing.

Critical hit is funny... muwhehehe, I can even take down druggers pretty easy from a distance.

Twins is still better, with unlimited firepower, it will take you down in seconds.

Played a 15 minute Cross CTF with M1 Smoky today. I was hitting M1 Wasps between 4 and 6 times at close / medium range before they died. This is how it went for most of the game - I was thinking that Smoky must have been nerfed. Then, a Hornet spawned in front of me and I went behind and shot at close range - one shot and he was gone ! So... just 1 critical hit in 15 minutes does not sound like much of an advantage at all...

 

The game restarted, and it was the same - Smoky not taking them out. I switched to Rail M1 and won the game. That says everything :)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Firing critical hits are a chance of 6,5% average.

So the average smoky fires 6 or 7 critical hits in 100 shots.

I'm not sure if this is is right, I get a critical hits every 10 shots... pretty cool.

 

 

If you think smoky is overpowered, you should buy it straight away.

You will find out that it's hard, your aim has to be perfect for distant enemies, and the gun isn't that good at close range.

I must say that if you're used to thunder, smoky will not take long to master... just stay away from silence maps.

I own both M3 smoky and twins. Twins are epic but smoky is way better, and like the OP I feel luck shouldn't be a factor in this game.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Smoky is better at long range, but twins will eliminate smoky easily when the plasma balls can reach them.
