Ricochet m3 

 

[alex_is_the_best 87]

Ricochet is really powerful and effectable after the rebalance, especially the damage of it has increased quite much.

[Remaine 4,687]

i hope they will not dissapoint us!

 

 

1 day untill tommorow :ph34r:

Stop the triple posting.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

bump,mission acomplished xD

[Remaine 4,687]

Stop the double posting as well... Edit your post, it's not difficult.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

single post xD,mission acomplished xD

[GG_reg 1,521]

I don't like tennisballs.

lol

[GG_reg 1,521]

Ricochet has become GREAT after the rebalance. It is probably (in my opinion) the best weapon for parkour. I use test server lots and for parkour I use Ricochet and Wasp! Brilliant

[colindestroyer77 45]

Ricochet is my best weapon. I know so many awesome tricks to destroying other tanks anywhere by using the ricochet ability.

I think rico is OP now. coz i got 40 kills with my m0 rico (i am shooting soo many m1 and some m2)

[MrAmazingKiller 9]

Now it have the damage of Smoky

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

1 shoot rico is a bit weaker than a smoky shoot

[sam131192 113]

[USA-POWER 227]

Well let's talk about that nerf gun shall we?

 

Ricochet can bounce tennis balls against people.

 

M0 - useless, for parkour

M1 - Useless

M2 - Normal

M3 - Maybe Strong

 

 

I don't know much about ricochet, all I know that thing is nerfed compared to other weapons. 

 

I played in test server, and I killed many people with it, since everyone was a mammoth and mammoths can't dodge plasma balls.

 

LE TOPIC UNDER DEASTRUCTION

What happ**** to this post .. 

Well Rico with no doubt is the best medium range gun and is back to what it was 1.5 years a go  -_-

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

lol

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

Well only one post, no replies: I am enjoying playing with my five accounts too much...

 

Started playing this "May holidays event" with my two main accounts again, after long training time

with various weapons/hulls on my three alts.

One of those alts will stay as my XP combo (it is still M1, go Pro when I have it M2)

so you could meet "the-Rail-King".....(as modest as always :D )

I will continue with my other alts as long as needed.

Soon I will completely focus on ranking with my mains. Yes! :)

 

The screenshot below is another example of the so called "balancing". 

Don 't know what tool they use for the balancing, but it definitely needs some repair! :P

 

Below my view on equipment that I use and please put IMO after every sentence....no word!

 

Rico and Firebird really became the two most overpowered weapons.

Before the Rebalance Rico could barely make a scratch, now I almost feel guilty how easy

it is to kill my opponents with my Rico M2.

And I am sure I will even do better in time, because I use it to much as a straight forward gun which gets me

killed, when I could have used the bouncing effect whilst staying safely in cover.

Like the Splash on Thunder, Rico 's bouncing effect also has a quite steep learning curve.

Ofcourse I enjoy it overpowered as it is, but fairplay? Hmmm.

 

Thunder is still ok (not OP anymore), but you better use it in larger maps like Desert, Massacre, Kungur,

Madness etc. to fully exploit the much improved mid to far-range capability.

It used to be my top-favourite Polygon DM weapon, now I might choose the Rico... :mellow:

Also nice, but not as engaging as the "old" Thunder was in this map!

With the old Thunder with it 's higher damage the Splash was also more devastating: I myself had higher DL 's

with it before the Rebalance.

The self-damage of Thunder might be low now which is mostly positive (not for self-destruction though):

even than it doesn 't quite cut it at close distances anymore: it became the new semi-sniping gun instead of Smoky!

On my other main account I have the Thunder M2 and I will certainly get the M3.

Long live the old King!

 

Freeze is also ok. For the gamepace it is simply perfect they nerfed the You-Are-Frozen time again.

Now when frozen you have a chance to fight on: before the Rebalance

it almost always meant your certain death by other opponents.

Damage increased a bit, reservoir slightly increased: so for the user IMO it is still a capable and versatile weapon.

Put it on a Wasp and circle your enemies to their doom: I like it!

 

Firebird? OP. Use it on my alt with a Wasp M1 and in my experience: if I go, you go...

Almost impossible to survive an encounter with a fairly skilled Firebird player.

Unless you have a heavy hull/ good paint.

If the huge damage doesn 't kill you the now ridiculous long afterburn will (unless you get cooled by a team-Freeze)

Don 't like the long afterburn myself. In DM without finding a health kit your doomed (non-drugging).

Will not get the Firebird M2, because personally I prefer the more versatile Freeze, and I like the certain death it delivers:

with Firebird it 's a lot more guessing (or you keep on running empty) if you toasted them enough... :unsure:

 

Railgun is just fine. Nothings changed really. Fortunately! ^_^

 

Smoky. Don 't like the change myself. It used to be my semi-sniping gun.

I say the following with some reserve because I didn 't play a lot with the Rebalanced version:

it 's only good at short distances where in my experience the traditional short-range weapons simply rule.

So I have not got a clue where it fits in now. :huh:

I was heading for Smoky M2 on this account but that has become a big question mark for me.

It 's more likely now that I skip it (for now, it might be OP after the next "Rebalance" who knows...)

and will stick with my Rico M2 as long as it is this overpowered.

 

 

Hornet is nerfed a bit, Viking too: but both hulls are still good. The regular ranking of them

compared to the big gaps between lets say Wasp M1 - Wasp M2 and Hunter M2 - Hunter M3

makes these (once?) popular hulls still very usable.

With the hulls I believe they actually achieved some balance this time! :D

So I can live with the little nerf I received on the Viking M2 and Hornet M2.

(but I will go from Hornet M2 to Wasp M2, no doubt)

 

It 's good to have more variety on the field. More Wasps, Hunters and Dictators!

In a way I also like the improvement of the Wasp when compared to the Hornet.

It does makes sense.

What I don 't get why the Devs didn 't choose to only improve the Wasp

and simply leave the Hornet with the same HP and speed as before the Rebalance.

Like if the Hornet was OP compared to all the other heavier hulls. Not so IMO.

 

No, I can 't concur with all these "balances".

Balancing should be about fine-tuning IMO, not these radical steps every single time. -_-

So next time I hope they simply call it: "the Next Change" or something like that.

 

The game gets more and more difficult for the non-buyers IMO who can 't change their garage that fast

and I just hope that Tanki Online will stay that nice mixture between buyers and non-buyers.

 

If someone for whatever reason chooses not to buy or can 't even buy, they should have a fair competing chance.

It 's a free game with enough buyers to sustain it I suppose, so give the free guys

who have to put in more effort some "credit".

We really need both for a healthy and prospering Tanki Online!

 

Gameplay: Desert DM, Hornet M2 - Ricochet M2 with Tundra and four/five times drugging with 2.3.4.

(had an issue with a drugging Mammoth-Rail  ;)  )

 

 

 

 

Happy hunting!

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

Smok,thunder is more king like ever,ok?

you just neeed to change your style xD

and railgun has a greater penetrating power at every modification,than before

for example,railgun m3 penetrating power before balance was 49 and now is 76!!

a huge difference,trust me! i can kill 2 hornets m3 with 1 shoot with rail on double power kk

Rico is much stronger than Freeze. Buy some double powers and 2-shot those Hornet M0s.
