[GoldRock 6,165]

Thanks, qinwan ^_^

Nice! You have to ram your opponent at the right angle for it to work, though; it takes practice!

[Eragon 13,876]

well i have a different tactic i make a movement towards the rail the rail shoots but i hide behind a house or something then go out and kill him, even high ranks make this mistake,

that is one of the resins i don't use rail it is strong but i shoot if you miss you are dead!

sorry for the grammar.

Yes, that tactic was highlighted in this article ^_^ Very true - it's vital to use your shots well as a Rail user.

Balancing act works very nice; though some clever people can poop mines on you.

Like you and FBI :P

I've always found that the Railgun's poor gun elevation/depression is really useful for avoiding shots, e.g., in Sandbox, if you use a good elevating gun (e.g., Smoky, Twins, Ricochet) you can hit the foe while the foe misses clear above you. You can simply hide behind a wall (not too far or you can't shoot).

 

That's just my favorite tactic. If they try to jump on you, ram/shoot them (Smoky and Twins have great enemy recoil and they'll probably fall over).

The best Railgun users will always be able to hit you when you can hit them. This is because they won't stand still when they fire - they'll always be perfecting their aim, or performing complex manouevers with their hulls to rock them slightly for a more accurate angle. Luckily, these players are very rare, and so I agree that your tactic is very effective.

 

Using Railgun is all about prediction. Nearly all of the best shots I have ever taken with Rail surprisingly involved me out in the open, with my opponent behind cover. In those situations, you have to estimate how long it'll take your opponent to reload and come out of cover to fire at you, and then hit spacebar in the split second before you think he will do so, whilst moving. 90% of the time, your opponent will have had enough time to notice you've hit spacebar, and so will remain behind cover, leaving you firing at nothing and looking very stupid indeed as he then leaves cover to finish you off. But 10% of the time, you predict well, and along with a bit of luck, you hit your opponent as he comes out to finish you off, leaving him wondering about what just happened. It's in those moments of glory, you think: That made me look a million times better than I actually am. This is what makes Railgun unique and valuable in its own way, for me.

You would be amazed at how useful this technique is in duels. Especially when you use camera controls effectively so that you can see your enemy coming around the corner, making it much easier to time your shot and get into cover if they are able to stop in time.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION! I am bored in reading long texts :D

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

lol

You should read. Reading is vital. It is beneficial in many ways, but this is NOT the place to argue/explain about them.

 

Good Guide Rock, as always ;)
