Guide #3

Recommended Posts

In this guide i will try and help you with weapons.

 

First of all there are 3 types of ranges for weapons

-Short

Such as firebird, freeze, isida.

-Medium

Twins, Ricochet and maybe Thunder

-Long

Railgun and maybe thunder

And smokey, which can go under Medium or Long.

 

But keep in mind all weapons, when used in a further range damage is reduced.

 

Smokey-

This is the gun you start with.

Seriously under-estimated. People with m0 smokey can take out m3 railguns. See more later.

Average damage and good range. It's great for diverting fire away from your tank. Also has a good fire-rate and isn't expensive.

Attach this weapon to any body and you will do fine.

Against rail guns just when the tip lights up, shoot either side. Keep doing this and they won't get a hit on you. Eventually they will either die or run off.

 

Firebird-

Good all round weapon in small maps, but is also cheaper than a lot of others.

Range is ok, and a bit more than anyone thinks. Even where there is smoke it will do damage. If you press Page Up right till a birds eye view it will show the range of it. Good damage and reload is faster than freeze. Use this weapon with a fast or moderately fast body and you will do fine. Try driving right up to them, and even if your skilled enough, try circle them as they will have a hard time shooting you. But don't put this on big slow bodies unless in small maps like island. As the enemy can simply reverse and keep shooting at you.

 

Twins-

This is probably the most annoying weapon i've ever encountered. With its unlimited ammo, jolting around effect causing you to aim poorly while lagging AND now they've made it stronger. Again attach to any body and will do great. With DD the damage is outstanding, as well as the fact you don't need to wait for reload. And jolting around, my computer is kinda old, lags a bit, twins just make it worse. Can't attack properly, i usually run when i see them, unless they are long range away. Good price and low rank to get it.

 

Railgun-

This is the favourite of alot of people i know, it may be strong but can be easily killed by a smokey, reload is long on m0-m2 and turning speed is also horribly slow. But if you get a hit, 70% of the time its a killer. M3 upgrade i reckon is good, im getting it soon. With DD it will 1 hit kill most tanks. Attach to a big tank with good hp, probably a camping weapon but also able to rush if you want. Definitely don't attach to hornet or wasp. The recoil will send you toppling over, and if someone even with a smokey hits your tanks underside when you half on the ground half in the air 90% of the time you'll flip.

 

Isida-

Probably the strongest weapon in the game. With its ability to attack enemies with good damage, healing itself while killing AND the ability to heal team-mates it's a perfect weapons. DD with M3 Isida M3 Hornet, say goodbye to your battlefund, you've probably lost. It's also a great way to earn easy exp, killing enemies and healing team-mates will give you exp. Good way to level up. :) Attach to a fast body and as said before, try circle the enemy.

 

Thunder-

Probably my favourite, but costs a bit much for M3 upgrade. Just like a bigger version of a smokey with reload a bit longer, but this is made up by the damage. Good for all kinds of maps, and has splash damage, meaning you don't have to have a direct hit to do damage. Also if your lucky you might get multi kills if their on low hp or you have DD. Attach to a large body, but also works with Hornet.

 

Freeze-

Probably my least favourite now :? Since the re balance, i feel freeze doesn't freeze anymore, just doesn't feel right having a weapon that is exactly like a firebird but changes their color a bit. I know its better when you upgrade, but the upgrade cost is M1-1700 M2-5000 M3-15000, now seriously, if you play legit and don't buy crystals that would take you a while to get. Attach to a fast body and keep driving at them, also move from side to side, as they may move the turret a bit slower, again try to circle.

 

Ricochet-

Good weapon, and also has been rebalanced, again price is alot and has a good ability to rebound around, hence the name 'ricochet'. Probably good for rushing and also protecting, press page up and see if enemy is there or coming, get in a good position and shoot, the ability to rebound will be very effective now, shooting them before they can see you. Attach to any body, preferably not wasp. Shoot from hard to reach places, use your surroundings, bounce everywhere!

 

Thanks for reading, hope i helped :)

Lol +1, got my m3 isdia today with my m2 hornet dived into the enemy base survived for like 40 seconds until I got the flag then rushed out with low health.

When going in with Double Protection, and Double Damage, your practically invincible if there's things for you to OM NOM NOM.

A m3 smokey could kill a m3 freeze if someone knew how to use it and knew the tactics of Tanki.

ofc it can, but only in high range. if freez get you in your first shot - you dead. but if you shoot 2-3 shots before he start atacking you, you can win :)

Rail does not reduce damage when at long range!!

 

You can shoot from 1 end of Dusseldorf to the other end of Dusseldorf (if possible without the buildings blocking) and the damage is still 55-85

 

Railgun-

This is the favourite of alot of people i know, it may be strong but can be easily killed by a smokey, reload is long on m0-m2 and turning speed is also horribly slow.

o really? i use hornet with rail all the time it doesn't flip me even when i have nitro on,i only flip when i epic fail and jumping or get shot in the rear by a railgun when i am runnin fast but other than that you cant flip yourslef on your back with your own railgun.
