Railgun Error?

[Yared 3]

I have been playing Tanki for some time now, and i have noticed some sort of Error (or Lie.)

Railguns Damage is:

please note I have micro upgraded it abit

and this is hornets Health (and stats)

Now AS STATED on my railgin m2 stats without any protective paints on the opposing Hornet m2 tank, I cannot EVER one hit kill it.... Yet tanki lies to me saying my damage is 100-150, I have tested my damage on Hornet m1 (i get a one hit kill) and hornet m2 (0/10 tries for 1 hit kill) I think Tanki is lieing to us....

[byronee4 7]

I realised this too.... I have hornet m2 and no railgun m2 has ever killed me in 1 hit - and i dont even have a railgun paint!

This needs to be fixed..

People can MU their Hornet M2's. ^_^

 

And not to mention I guess this is also Tanki's way of telling you to use Drugs. Lol.

I do believe their is an issue here to be resolved, as I've never seen a Hornet M2 one-shotted by Rail M2, including before MU's were available.

[SuperNick95 5,312]

My railgun does 183 damage and hornet m3 has 166 hp, but I never managed to kill one in a shot. Or at least a pair of times I think I did, but I can't be sure they were full health. As said, other people upgrade their tanks too, and the damage varies between 100 and 150, the weapon doesn't always hit with the maximum force. The majority of the shots cause around 125 damage (the medium value).

Ok well I heard from somewhere that a random number is selected in the damage range (correct me if I'm wrong). So, in this case, a random number will be selected between 100 and 150, and the result will be the damage dealt by the Rail. But then you said that the "majority of the shots cause around 125 damage (the medium value)"? So the damage has a tendency to be close to the medium.

[DeoxyriboNudeicAcicl 97]

Guys, 150 can be the max value, but that rarely ever happens, tanki chooses a number in the lower range so it'll be fair enough

[byronee4 7]

It chooses a random number between your min and max damage- but is tanki lieing to us by it beging like a 1/20 chance of a full shot?

[DeoxyriboNudeicAcicl 97]

Tanki is not lying, that range that you see is just a range, you should thank tanki for even letting you have a full shot once in a while

[Yared 3]

Dont you see you dont get a full shot! I have tested this with my friends who have hornet thats not microupgraded at all

Still 0/10 shots are not 100%

[r_ADITYA980 45]

ya maybe micro upgraded but in my newbie days i had m1 hornet and survived many m2 rail shots when there were no micro upgrades in the game

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

But like all guns, at point blank it should be able to do full damage, railgun doesn't..

Distance doesn't affect railgun.

[Royalworld 1,269]

I had hornet m2 with 10% protection and igot 1 shotted by m2 rail without DP.

After that it didn't happen to me.

[byronee4 7]

Still, railguns full power is not possible

[hagai 1]

The 100-150 it is the damage of 100 is the normal hit but with the box is 150!  :tank:  -_-

[hagai 1]

why when you said the or game it's do that because the new thing "the game"? :huh:

[Playep 355]

They don't always do full damage. M2 hornets, however, always Nearly die of Rail m2.

[miniclipman9875 0]

 it is because it is damaging the hornet with 100 damage

[miniclipman9875 0]

 So true

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Idk well I think one time I did one-shot a M2 Hornet with M2 Rail in Poly DM. I could be wrong, but maybe he was previously hit by splash damage from a Thunder.

[Rocael 102]

With a railgun m3, I kill a mammoth m2 with one shot, with double power, that happen to me, 1 time in all my tanki carrer.

[r_Domanating0 16]

All the 1 shot kills I had with M2 Rail on M2 hornets I was never sure about their HP. So in other words I never 1 shot kill a M2 hornet at full HP.

 

My advice is: Don't buy MUs. Some of you might say that those small improvements can make a significant difference in battle and can provide higher success rates, thus more crystals. True... IF all the other players didn't MU. But since all or nearly everyone uses the MUs, we constantly even our tank's abilities. In the long run nothing has changed.

 

The issue in this topic is a perfect example. Yared states that the hornet didn't MU (failing all 10 shots could be just bad luck).

Lets supose the hornet did in fact MU.

Yared MU his Rail to improve the probability of 1 shot kill the M2 Hornet. But the player using the Hornet will MU his tank to make sure that will never happen.

 

Well of course, some may say the Hornet's speed is more valuable than HP so those players will ditch the HP MU and go for speed MU. But upon going on a battle you don't know what MUs each player did, you'll never know. So you'll never be sure if you have an advantage over all players in a battle or none at all.

 

 

In the long run it is not advisable to MU. MU just once and you'll be wasting more crystals than necessary.

 

 

For those that still don't know, allow me to share my math with you:

 

I fully Micro upgraded my M2 rail on reload. Those are 7 MUs and they make a total of 21.833 spent crystals. Because of that I get a 3% discount on rail M3. 3% of the price of rail M3 (218.300) is 6.549.

21.833-6.549= 15.284 crystals wasted

 

So if I don't MU anymore and wait for rail M3 rank I will essentially buy M3 for (218.300-6.549)+21.833=233.584 crystals, which is M3 plus the wasted ones in MUs.

 

 

Buy MUs, but only on M3 stuff.

 

The 100-150 it is the damage of 100 is the normal hit but with the box is 150!  :tank:  -_-

I hope you're not being serious

[KenzoMotee 12]

But why did they put the full damage if it does not do full damage and also for it's reload time it should 1 kill hornet

[deadmanrising 715]

Upgrading the parameters for any m1 hull and weapon is very benificial but a waste of money really, it would be better just upgrading to m2 or m3 then upgrade the parameters; it helps a lot
