Garage description:

 

 

A gun for professionals. Performs well at any range. Takes a long time to reload and needs to warm up before firing, but packs a hefty punch. A good pairing for any hull, but light tanks run the risk of flipping over from the recoil! A favorite amongst clan players.

If this game lasts long enough, I am going to start another alt and focus on Railgun. Might have to mount it on Dictator since that is the only hull I haven't really played with. Thoughts on this as a combo?

It's a slow one, quite a challenge.

The most difficult thing is to drive off a ledge, press fire, land, fall flat on your tracks just as you fire. Useful when not sniping and want to keep moving. You can of course hit them in mid air  ;)

I do this all the time on my alt @BNICE1 in Rio or noise or gravity. Plus it just takes skill I may not be high rank but I can easily dominate battles with railgun m0 even at my rank where battles are full of m1s

Well, first off the railgun is, basically, a sniper. With long range and strength it can accomplish a lot of things and always pretty much get the job done. But, the railgun main disadvantage is being sneak up upon. When something like a freeze, firebird or thunder fires at it from behind, it makes it tougher to get the job done because it's like "Dang it! I lost my target and now I have to focus on the guy that is killing me." The railgun is not meant to take on a lot of people like the freeze and firebird. Railgun is a sniper and a sniper is quick, but can't take on a crowd of people at once. You can only show the full power of the railgun when you are camouflaged or when you are aware of your surroundings and on the move.

Is Railgun not too boring? I always get bored after playing with it :(

[Bobbyisawsome_TURBO 0]

I like de weapon but the reload time is long.

why cant they make the reload the same as tunder

[austen_pierce 1,948]

They could but then they would have to balance with thunder like decreasing damage with distance and adding self damage. Otherwise it becomes OP or it becomes redundant with Thunder.

 

I think the turrets are pretty well balanced right now with the exception of Firebird which needs a nerf at all mods, and Isida which needs a nerd at M3. I use both turrets so I don't WANT either need, yet objectively speaking these are needed to finish off the turret balancing act.

"My grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your Railgun gave me cancer anyway."

Basically sums up Railgun's existence. Let the hate begin! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

To annoy everyone:

• Extol the virtues of Railgun to the enemy team, your own team, people in the server chat, your clan, the reporters, the mods, everybody on the forum, and even the developers. Railgun is the most pro weapon in the game that takes 4000000 years of skill to master, you love it so much, have used it since you were a Recruit, is the best weapon in the game, can beat all the other turrets, all the other turrets take no skill to use and are noob, you can beat Gismos in a 1v1, you can beat any opponent in any situation with your trusty Hornet-Railgun, the moderators should make Railgun reload instantly and deal 9999 damage, you have built a shrine to your personal Railgun, worship it religiously every day, hope that it will bring you to Railgun-heaven (where everything is Railguns and Hornets) when you die, and hope that the heretics who dare to use putrid turrets like Twins or Ricochet (or simply don't like Railgun) either burn for eternity or become enlightened by the shining gloriousness of Railgun and join your cause.
