Let's Discuss Ricochet!

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I mounted my Rico on my new M3 Dictator and was pretty happy with the handling. But Rico has a real problem with vertical auto aim - this must have taken a nerf as well since I can't lock on to most tanks below my horizontal plane. This was never a problem prior to the balance.

 

But enemy smoky can't knock off my aim like it did with Viking :)

The auto-aim problem might be a side effect of Dictator's height- I don't think it was changed in the update.

well it should be checked by someone. The update ment entering a looot of data into the game configuration.. so a mistake would be possible.

I just m1'd it and it rocks second against third leutenant and warrant offier 5's

  Rico is one of the most balanced turrets in the game because its has a pretty high DPS, can take out enemies around corners, and even has a little range with it.  This was the first turret I used in Tanki, although I don't really use it any more, it is still one of my favorite turrets and I'm still very partial to it  :) .

Glad you are not complaining Rico is OP like some low-rankers.  Rico m0 totally outclasses all other m0s, but as you get higher in modification it really isn't that powerful compared to some other turrets.

I agree. My 3rd account rico was my main gun and it was so amazing when everybody still had M0 stuff, but once i got to M1 it was like...

 

did I do any damage?

I was one of them. What got me was that atop everything else, Rico has a good good vertical reach in addition to all its other abilities. But as you say now and others at the time said to me then, Rico has weaknesses that can be exploited. 

 

I actually think Tanki has achieved pretty good balance between the various turrets. That's not an easy thing to do.

But when given the right player it seems like their work was worth nothing...i was going 2v1 last night TDM on Desert and got 15 kills before dying xD I had protection, good skills and Viking against players who used what my module protects me against so it was easy to kill them :p

Yeah a good tanker is still the best weapon.

 

Runs like that are what keep us coming back, I reckon. :)

ricochet had decreased reload speed. This means that I could not recover anymore from flipping sidewards. Is this nerfed seriously? And recoil should be buffed if ever the reload speed is nerfed.

Quite annoying how it's hard for light hulls to get back on their tracks with most weapons...unfair...unfair.

Dude a rico can knock a titan off aim. the slightest alter in aim can ruin a good shot

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Which is stronger - hammer or ricochet?

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Which is stronger - hammer or ricochet?

Equal and both very good choices for knocking ranged turrets off aim and can perform well at close range as well.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Hammer rules DeathMatches. Ricochet=kills stolen

 

Which is more fun to play? Rico by miles.

[TTK_229 1,080]

Methinks Rico is annoying.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

:D

 

Rico is my favorite! But I also find it annoying when the 'other' guy is firing it at me :ph34r:

Rico M3 with alteration..

Just wow :O

[r_Maverick7771 3]

Is Rico any good at m2 & m3

i've heard it isn't that good at higher levels, but it is one of my favorite turrets to use.  

[NewbieCake 3,067]

I got the alteration and let me say it is amazing. It's like a fast firing Smoky with a little less damage.

It's quite good but you'll need at least 15 steps before you can notice a major difference.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Better at M2 than M3/M4 although M4 with the rapid fire alteration is worth considering.

 

Really worth considering. Seeing this alteration in battle is like "what the heck was that!?"
