Please, you haven't seen me. I'm like a Cat with 9 lives x2 when it comes to rail guns.

Yep ^_^ Next rank I'll get Hornet M2, the rank after, Rail and Dictator M2... Then I'll save for later.

It's easier to shoot straight rather then sideways without flipping if another Rail shoots you. :> be a nweb, dunt turn yur turret.

This is a very nice guide! You totally deserve your position as a reporter, it is really good :)

[JamesM10 14]

Shh, you use Firebird. No-one like Firebird ;) And I got Isida M2, as you advised :lol:

Fire is my favourite limited range weapon.

 

Railgun is my favourite ranged weapon.

 

Twins is my favourite RAMPAGE weapon. ;)

 

At no point during my Tanki career have I EVER advised ANYONE, including you to buy M2 Isida!

All joking aside, really like the guide, this would've helped me a a few months ago!  :D

 

Prepare to see me balancing on top of more and more tanks now! ;)

That's good, not many do...

[DeoxyriboNudeicAcicl 97]

Another way you can survive if a railgunner pops up in front of you: (only works with fast hulls), go side to side with it and turn your turret to face it. It will try to fire but a railgun turret turns too slow and if it tries to turn the tank too, it's blocked by you. And then just finish it off by doing circles around it.

No place for Thunder here ? I bough it for fun, tried it for a week.. And I'm still not coming back to railgun ! And as i just bough M2 mammoth I'll probably test it and use it with freeze and Thunder. But not with rail because mammoth-rail looks so noob..

Sorry, but I thought that the less experienced might find this useful...

i thought it was great advice the less experienced don't understand the game in full and start to appreciate techniques like this either at ur rank or if you have been playing several years like me. lol

You need more experience to write a better one. Helpful to only people around corporal.  ^_^

[GoldRock 6,165]

Nope, we get paid for writing articles, though we don't write articles for the pay.

Why don't you write one, then? There's not much more that I could have included, as many of these tips are picked up at lower ranks, and perfected as you gain more experience. Kindly, stop going on about my rank in various topics. PM me if you wish to play against me and we shall see, I have played clan wars and in contests; I can at least say that I am fairly experienced...

Really well-written guide. A good railgun can stop all of those measures from working but I'm impressed by the work you put into this, great guide.

My thoughts exactly. While my rank may be pretty low, I've had these tactics tried against me, but I can almost always stop them.

Thnx for the guide.

I must say that I have tried all of these tactics except for the attacking balancing act,(though I knew about bombing) and I never really thought of the holding out one because I will normally be in no mans land zone and can't wait, I also have used the ramming but agree not to try it on anything other then wasp and hornet(also my smoky gun can be fired right as the rail lights up to make him even more tipped before stabilizing again.) Feinting is for when the rail has no or little cover and you do have cover, if you don't that is when you switch to recoil and circling if very close.
