Let's Discuss Railgun!

Vikings OD is no more powerful than Hornet

Who cares? It's powerful. Period.

I went on the account of the player whom introduced me to the game. That account, has M1s and with Viking's Overdrive, I was able to do this:

 

 

Everyone around me had M2s and M3s while I'm here with my M1 Railgun with M1 Viking dominating. 

 

 

I took a gold in that battle thanks to an enemy Hunter using its Overdrive on 3 of my teammates and one of the stopped riiiiiiiiiiiiiight before the gold and I just took it and drove backwards

 

[Mountaingoat11 26]

well... no one on the enemy team had protection (except for one guy)

not saying you don't have skill, just saying most battles don't look like that

enemy team was probably average (like only two people on the team had above 1.0 K/D)

you win some, you lose some

well i have a Problem Tanki Start That All Can Buy Kit With Real Money Some Buyer's Buy M2 M3 Kit in small Rank and We Can't Fight them and it is Annoying so pls Change This pls :(  :(

[Astute_T.O 63]

I don't use any alts on my railgun . I like it as it is.

TO won't. You see, people are paying TO money, and the game needs that money to run. As much as we find hardcore buyers annoying, we have to give them credit , for paying TO and helping it run.

You use M1 at such a high rank?

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

You use M1 at such a high rank?

That particular account was not used during Tanki's transitional phase from Drugging to win to Grind to Win. My friend (who used that account), two others and I were around the same rank as that and we had M1s. This was maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I saw many players at those ranks with M1s. 

 

 

I didn't play on it for a long time and I knew that I would be underpowered if I used M1 turrets at that rank since many players with the modern economy of Tanki have M2 and maybe M3 tanks. I capitalised on the new Overdrives to do good. 

 

This account and @TheCongoSpider played during this phase and I'm thriving. The other accounts I neglected? Not so much. 

 

I am, however, trying to get it back on track by completing missions and getting containers hoping to luck out on them. No luck so far and it's not helping that the first mission the account got was a Place in the top 3x15. It's at 2/15 right now and may take months if not weeks to complete with the equipment the account has.

Railgun firing rate when it has Viking OD activated needs a nerf. It fires as fast as thunder with Viking OD activated, plus it deals more damage per shot.

They'd have to change it for all of the turrets for consistency because why should Railgun alone get a nerf when all of the other turrets are beating it into the ground, am I right?. I can't pinpoint the % increase in firing rate but I tried it with my M0 Thunder that has a 2.97-second reload time and with the Overdrive, it seems to decrease to about 0.6 or 7 seconds. That's about a 75-80% increase in the firing rate; and it's even more for EA"S" Railgun. 

 

It's easier to use Railgun with it than Magnum or Striker. Magnum seems so situational while every other turret is easy or easier. I see more Mortar Magnums on Vikings than other hulls. That makes sense.

Does Thunder splash damage get a buff with viking OD?

Actually railgun is the only viking overdrive that can outright kill a titan inside its own dome... Starting from near full health. The only one.

Does Thunder splash damage get a buff with viking OD?

This should be in the Let's Discuss Thunder thread but what do you mean by a buff? Do you mean a buff in the splash damage radius? A buff in the average and minimum splash damage? 

 

If so, then no buff is given to its splash damage radius and since the damage is doubled with the overdrive, the average and minimum splash damage would double as well.

Scouts also really good.

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

This player is one of the few players that benefits from buying the alteration before the last batch of alterations came out. 

 

 

He'll be enjoying his time before reaching Lieutenant Colonel.

I've been trying Titan Railgun with destabilization alteration... It's a terribly strong combination, getting huge K/D most matches, and titan is actually fast enough to catch up to flags and other stuff when needed. I'm not even using many supplies with it, only when some enemies annoy me (Like they really need to heal against a drugless tank when they already have DA or DD? Then I'm drugging back).

 

It also has this sorta slow pace... It's almost relaxing to use.

Have you tried using mammoth instead? That OD can help with the flag.

That's one of the things I love about playing with Titan. I like to live life in Tanki slowly sometimes.

Do you guys use high caliber rounds? The damage is insane!
