Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[The-Drag 60]

You'll complain about Rico's impact, but what about Twins and Vulcan? What about Shaft? Rail?

...Smoky

...Smoky

Yea, pretty much anything with impact is mentionable, I just covered the ones that annoy me the most.

[Theawesomecooldude 108]

A lot of people are saying rico is hard to master, and that is true but I find rico to be quite easy for me to use. I've always had a knack at it, even in the old days when I was playing m0 rico before rebalance in the WO ranks ^_^ idk what it is, but I just seem to naturally do well with it. I get first or second place in a battle almost every time with it and dictator. A beast of a combo imo.

[Amateur 829]

It's harder to control than other guns, definitely. This isn't really much to do with the actual effect of Rico on the enemy, but does anyone else think that m0 and m2 Rico look too similar? I might just be a noob, but I can't tell the difference between them from just the shot

I also face a problem to know the difference in color of the shot between rico m2 and m0 , but there a lot of things that may help you like damage, shot rate and impact force :)

^ I don't mean to trivialize this, but does it matter? By the time you are at a rank where you are getting hit by M2, do you even care if someone fires an M0 at you?

 

*be like "did something just touch me?"

I am almost at Marshal and have enough crystals to buy Redneck. That will get me M3 Ricochet two ranks early unlock, and I should have enough crystals to put in a few ridiculously expensive MUs.

 

I'm worried about buyers remorse though. So I need an opinion. Is M3 Rico with a few MUs at Marshal worth the nearly half a million crystals I will need to spend to buy this kit?

 

Or should I wait until Commander, buy Rico at rank preferably on sale?

 

If I don't make Marshal in the next 9 days, this is academic, since Redneck kit will expire.

Get the Kit. All kits are good.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I did the math. I need to earn about 5k XP per day between now and server restart on 2/4. Right now I am earning 1.5 to 2k XP per day. I'll be able to earn more this weekend when I can play longer, but it's going to be very close. I'll have a better idea on Monday if I am going to make Marshal before the kit expires.

[Gigalink 116]

Good luck! I recently bought Redneck Kit and boy does it get you kills! Hope you can get it in time.

[B.L.A.S.T_THO 0]

I find ricochet really annoying as a good player can follow my movements. Please explain why it's so terrible as it can beat my thunder in a head on duel.

u just suck at it its my favorite gun u need to use al ur advantages especially the rochet of the gun

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Halfway through Monday and I am 7k short on XP. I am also out of supplies of armor and damage. I don't want to buy more bc I am saving those crys to MU M3 Ricochet once I get the kit. I can still use speed boosts to help maneuverability, and I still have a handful of repair kits which I use if I pick up map supplies and want to extend their use.

 

Will I make Marshal before Redneck kit expires on 2/4 server reset (which is actually 9pm EST the night before for me)? If I stick to the math, the answer is no. I can only play in the evenings now at 1.5k to 2k XP per night. That will bring me a few thousand XP short. But I am going to grind as hard as I can to try anyway. Much will depend on what battles I find between now and then. I might get lucky.

 

If I don't make it, I will most likely hibernate austen_pierce, playing only my daily missions to get supplies and crystals until Redneck comes back. I'll turn my attention back to vampire_medic, my abandoned Isida alt, which should come with Tanki's welcome back bonus.

 

I'll check back in here on Wednesday. Cheers everyone!

I'd be tempted to spend a small amount of $ on premium so you can rank up faster.

 

It looks like Tanki x is coming out soon, which means this game will become a ghost town. Enjoy it while you can...

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Ricochet seems like an all rounder assault weapon. But maybe Smoky's a better choice..

Daily missions have given me three 3-hour temporary Premium accounts, which I have used to the fullest.

 

I know what you mean about Tanki X. That's part of the reason I am grinding now. I just don't see myself moving to the new game.

 

Thanks to some well populated Kungur death matches, I was able to move to within 2.9k XP of Marshal before the end of Monday. The math now tells me that I have a good chance of making Marshal before the kit ezpires, if I continue to do well in battle today and tomorrow.

Thank you.

 

I snuck in a quick battle this morning.

 

2601XP to go.

[Spartan_28 347]

Ricochet!! The most annoying weapon in tanki online moves every shots of my freaking railgun..

Pretty good but I have it M0. :P

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Made it!  Will post more pics in the Kit thread.

871 XP to go

The kit is worth it. Rico m3 is OP in general, and hunter is unbelievably good. It is fast, yet has nice armor. If you get those ranks before you unlock them, you will be OP. I have used it on the test servers and it worked, against other m3 people. The paint also serves nice use.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I feel like I have come home. I love Rico M3, even at stock values. My first battle resounded with cries of "OMG RICO!!!" and "KILLING ME!" Bringing this turret into DeathMatches against ranks all the way down to Major is just cruel...

 

I'm starting to MU now. Don't worry folks... I'm not going to post and whine about every MU :)

Yeah, it makes Hornets dance and Wasps pirouette :)

[GeneralNemesis 497]

within its time frame rico is awesome w0but if the other guy has

a heavy hull m3 or even a medium hull m3 with more than 20% proection rico is dead meat

[Gigalink 116]

Rico has tough time fighting head on against heavy hulls because of reload time, but if there is enough cover or elevation, it is manageable.

I really like this turret - it will be the third turret I M3.
