Let's Discuss Ricochet!

Definitely, but for increased reload time ;)

I wanted to ask about micro upgrades of Rico. What is the difference between Rotation speed and Projectile speed?

Rotation speed is the maximum speed the turret can turn at in deg/sec

Projectile speed is the speed of the turret's shell in m/sec

Rico m2 in my opinion.

It depends on the hull you are using.  I currently have M2 Rico and M2 Hornet.  The combo used to be great, now it sucks since the balance.  If you are going with Rico use a stronger hull such as Viking or Dictator.  Otherwise use a stronger turret like Thunder if you are going with lighter hull.  Something the developers wiffed on is that Rico does not have the power to shove Rails off target anymore due to the increase in hull weight.  That is part of the reason my kit is useless anymore.  At high ranks the only chance I have in battle is to drug, and even then I am often toast to rails and thunders.

Weird, i make massacres with my hornet m3+rico m2 with reload mu.. :D

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Me too with my partially MUd Rico M2.

 

But I have to choose my battles very carefully. For some reason at First Lieutenant, tanki auto assigns me to the higher rank server with Majors and Captains and Colonels. They're playing with power my M1 Viking can't fend off. One-shot city...

A well fought battle. Started with Hunter-Shaft, switched to good ol' Dictator-Rico a few minutes in. It never disappoints.

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

^Rico in Serpuhov?! *Round of applause*

[Alklines 1,751]

Just finished fully MU'ing the 'Projectile Speed' parameter.  :D  :wub:

311.2 health mush have been very helpful!  :D

Personally I prefer to use railgun + hornet, but rico + hornet is good for defending the flag in Rio CTF and defending the point in Polygon CP.

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

Just Bought Rico M2  ^_^

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Got mine (Rico M2) in the May sale. Epic.

 

June sale = MU to greatness

it is the best !!!!! B)the rochet

Problem is folks are starting to realize this and gravitate to Rico. In response I'm seeing lots of Rico defense paints in games. Dragon is very common, but can be defeated by my M2 with two or three extra shots. Spark is a problem though... Takes my entire clip to blow through that after which I'm without offense until I reload. In death matches that means I'm toast so I'll usually avoid Spark fights or wait until Spark tank has been weakened by another enemy wherever possible.

Rico ^_^

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

Rico = my favorite turret  :)

 

Dictator and Rico is my main combo (in non XP battles) and it's very effective for me.

[Amon166 90]

Ricochets and Isidas are everywhere nowadays.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Rails are truly everywhere. Hornet/Rail easily the most common combo in the game.

 

My RicoViking with Sandstone makes short work of them.

[poohforce 16]

I don't worry about the rico-viking tanks...

You know what's more dangerous than a rico-viking tank?

A twins-viking tank.... especially the m2 / m3 versions...

[poohforce 16]

Ricochets and Isidas are everywhere nowadays.

I fart on those m3 isidas with my firebird m2.
