Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

So i recently tried about a hundred legend deathmatch battles.. My shaft really just tears through anything at any range including ricochet... I could understand how smoky would lose to shaft at far range cause of the 5% weak damage but... Shouldn't smoky be even better when within it range of max damage? It has better fire rate, impact, turret rotation, vertical aiming(this matters at close range if you use it with viking because you tend to tilt down and shoot too low when moving backwards), damage and critical shots..

Ricochet is OP if you know how to use it

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

I  really like ricochet and used to play with it A LOT, but now I play with rail more, but ricochet is still good for liek parkour and it has a cool feature of bouncing bullets

Ricochet does not suck. I love it! U can just randomly kill someone in a few shots pew pew pew dead

Really? @hexed?

Rico is good. You just have to master It.

I have 44% Ricochet protection now, this thing doesn't bother me anymore.

Expensive for your rank - you must really hate it.    And have some weaknesses to other turrets if sinking that much into one module.

I do hate it, but it's not expensive, not for me. By the time I hit Marshal I'll have enough to buy an other module and upgrade it to 40%. I'll also have Hunter halfway to M4. At Fieldmarshal I'll buy a third module, upgrade it to at least 40% and start upgrading Smoky. I've planned all of this when I was a Warrant Officer and I'm sure it'll be done, earning cry in pro battles is easy.

Edit - i bought a triple module if that wasnt clear

I've got the old desert module which gives a lot of ricochet protection with cheap micro-upgrades.

Rico is good

Man, at m2 ranks, this gun can be quite OP on a hornet depending on the player.

 

I would definitely recommend using it with hornet because it's the second fastest hull and it's heavier and lower than wasp.

Absolutely right. Hornet skids in the corners anyway so you might just aswell make use of the bouncing effect of Ricochet. 

This is also why I don't get why people use Isida on Hornet, Wasp is much better in manoeuvring around obstacles and tanks.

Ricochet with MFS = Railgun with fast reload and samll range limit

Works only if you Know how to shoot

& it is easy to use than smoky I omn 3 turret's  

SMOKY,RICO,RAILGUN

Rico is the best and easier to use

With rail you have to fear lag

With Smoky fear your enemy hides 

Rico If he hide's just kill him with ricocheting

IMO, fort Knox is like the best map for ricochet, lots and lots of walls in a concentrated area to bounce off of.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Guys even without  the MFS alt Rico is beast i found today with my M2 + rico in Bridges

Just need to be in range i killed M3 vikings like they were nothing + DD = even better

[Hancho 3,902]

Rico was literally BAE in 2012-2015 but it got nerfed, less shots but more damage. Somehow, having more shots than more damage was more satisfying using this turrent as it bounces of the walls and interesting to use.

I would never use Ricco without the alt.  Shots are too slow and not enough range.  Might as well use Hammer or better yet - Twins.

At my rank i can do well even without the alt 

But for big maps like Kungur alt is needed , and without the alt we need stealth also

But the realod wasnt needed  :(

Some advice:

 

If you're going to use Rico in forest or siege, you may want to consider using the unstable plasma alt, since most of the walls in those maps are slanted

So what is the damage radius ? 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So what is the damage radius ?

 

7m

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

So what is the damage radius ? 

A little more than the length of a Viking. 7m is the max, by comparison Thunder's max splash radius is 12m.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

7m

OMG i will buy it surely for the next 50% sale
