Let's Discuss Railgun!

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Tanki appears to cycle through phases whereby one turret is much stronger than the rest. For a long time it was isida and it would dominate all battles. Then it was hammer. Right now railgun is the strongest turret without a shadow of a doubt. It can destroy my viking M3 (25 steps out of 50) in one shot, from the other side of the map. This ability makes it a nightmare to play against in my favourite maps like Kungur, and it even has the upper hand in smaller maps due to it's high damage. I think it might be time to make the switch.

you just compared a turret on DoubleDamage to your hull without DoublePower.

 

Usually it takes 2 shots.

I really like Railgun it is an amazing turret. It could kill many people at a time if they are all in a line. It is just massively strong And it is great for sniping from a distance  B)  :rolleyes:  :lol:  :D  :)  ;)  :P  B)  B)  B) 

 

The only small problem though is that it should reload just a bit faster(maybe just a second)!!!

Not in my experience. I'm getting one shot all the time and others have the same experience lately.

Rail is for pros. Only noobs dislike it.

 

Am I right?

[Super_Killerking 25]

Railgun = Real Gun
Railgun- :wub:

Not really... But you are right in a way. Some fresh players with poor accuracy will tend to think it is bad. But of course, tankers who know how to use it will love it like- :wub: :)

Reducing its reload for a full second would make it far too strong.

Nahhhh

Too many little Railgun fanboys. I think it must be from the youtube videos. :lol:

[NamesAreForNoobs 324]

Nahhhh

Just imagine all the fights you win against railgun because they got one less shot off one you in time before you killed them. All the fights, all days you've played, all skirmishes against railgun in all those battles that you came out of with health that wouldn't have survived their next shot. In my experience this is most fights against M1 railguns in those ranks unless they suck. Now imagine, instead of winning those fights by a little bit, losing them.

Oh yeah, I get it.

Railgun's awesome except for the reload time.

If I purchase High-Caliber ammo at M2 rank will I loose that alteration when I can get M3?

No, alterations stay forever.

But you can't use alterations in XP/BP though.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Are alterations turned on during XP/BP?

As said above, they are off in XP/BP

lol the rail is useless now all guys in tanki have protection vs rail haha B)

Not exactly...

Mainly because railgun protection is the most effective in terms of survival. Protection that enables you to survive one more shot means 4 more seconds.

Well I bit the bullet so to speak and purchased the High Caliber ammo. I am VERY happy with the results! Lots of one shot kills. I do not mind the slow reload time much. After using it for a couple of days I played in a BP/XP (alteration off) and it felt like rapid fire. I still have to work on my shoot and hide. I am deadly with a red box!

[Aibner 47]

I hate it; it's the most rubbish turret by far. (No offence, admin)

I felt I had to get the High-Caliber because Railgun was quite under powered without it. Railgun is not what it used to be.

How much does the high caliber ammo alteration cost?
