No rico sucks in every situation EXCEPT that passage in silence where people hide on either side of the building, there rico is extremely useful.

Shut Up rico is the awesomest weapon ever. I use it and i love it. Noobs u need to be skilled to play with it :P

The devs can't possbily think rico is equal to the other weapons right?

Equal in what way? As we have discussed offline (that *is* you Evil.Kinevil, right?) you can probabilistically model the outcomes of a tank-on-tank "slugfest" even with critical hits and variable damage, and can extend that to include paint protections and so on - but strategy and tactics are key. Not many "Thunder" players using their weapon on light hulls to climb walls. (The probability modelling is not for the faint hearted - but the WolframAlpha site is a help; for example I think this is the probability that an M3Thunder will kill an M3 Viking on its third shot : http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3+dice+23+side+%3E53 )

It's probably his 2nd account.

Yes, it is.

you need to rank too

Sure, maybe I do on this account, but that doesn't make any relevance to my post even if it was my main account. My post means that if he wants to see the power of Ricochet, he should rank and get m2 and m3. I don't have to same problem. I don't need to rank to see the power of Thunder. Therefore, your post was irrelevant, and I don't really need to. Maybe to play in clans, but not if I don't intend to do that.

Yes...all weapons are equal...but some are more equal than others.

Oh my, I know that quote. It came from the book: Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. It's basically a book about how Power can Corrupt. Anyways, it's true, Ricochet is a difficult gun to use. In the wrong-hands it will be viewed as a Weapon with no use, however in the right hands it is a magnificent weapon. You have to be smart, Clever, and cunning when using the Ricochet. It isn't meant for you to go chasing after your opponent. It's usually better on a Viking-type hull. It's an interesting gun that lets you hit opponent much out of your range. So in conclusion, it is a gun that isn't fit for everybody. However, I do think Tanki Online has nerfed it a bit too much. Maybe give it just a few more shots? Anyways, with Ricochet you can kill others without needing to turn or anything like that.

The ricochet is best before the rebalance

 

Before: M3(I think less damage each shots) Ricochet can do more shots in Silence map use Mammoth then climb in the ramp...

 

After: M3 Ricochet The shots has been combined and more damage.

Every weapon has its own ups and downs. Rico is a good weapon to destroy tanks fast, but it's instable. When you're attacked by a ricochet, don't stop moving. When you move, it's harder for the rico to kill you. Fight good, maybe then rico isn't very dangerous. In all last battles I have fought with rico's (I had hornet m1+thunder m1), most of time I could kill them when shooting and don't stop moving. 

 

- Learn how to use hulls and turrents, and you would be better, not to all, but a lot more -
