It seems like you don't know if you hit the guy or not, until he dies. ;)

True.

hammer is superior compared to the Thunder. has more damage, faster charging, and his skills. In my opinion, should hammer deleted because spoiling the game. Due to hammer me lost their appetite to play Tanki online.

I disagree. Hammer looses it's killing power way too quickly to be effective. Just don't allow them to get close to you and they will do no more damage than thunder and only shoot you three times before you can easily demolish them during the long reload.

Its visual effect is silly too. I almost laugh each time someone shoots at me or at someone else with a hammer.

yea,hammer on any hull looks weird

[Ranger077 30]

overall this gun respects tanki mechanics balance as i can see after testing it these days,it is a decent weapon which can be as effective as any other depending on map and of course on player skills.

As an experimented user of all weapons i can say it worths its price at m1 as in one shot you can blast out a wasp by killing it (if you have double damage) or flip it over.

Also can flip team members sometimes.

I consider it being at least as effective as twins on close distance, i once took double power from ground and every shot until power got ended was a kill, so i guess this is a good point scored.

I did the same with thunder some time ago but blowed up myself very quick due to smal map.

Anyway i will wait the next incoming turret, if it will be in game before the big sale i might try it as well but mainly my next choice of m1 will be hammer.

i hope machine gun in game before New Year

ive tried the hammer and I think that it is an amazing weapon.the way it has three shots instead of one before you have to reload is simply amazing. I love this turret

[Loackie 269]

[Who_Love_You 1]

Somebody know micro damage upgrade of Hammer M1 how are?

For 1st , 2nd , 3rd how many damage bonus give?

Coz for M0 give 1.5 for 1st micro dmg upgrade.

And ofc if have ppl at M2 & M3 can share little info will be helpfuly.

 

I want to know for buy M1 Hammer or Thunder or Railgun

Stats of Thunder and Railgun i'm check here http://en.tankiwiki.com/Turrets but still not have for hammer micro upgrade information like other.

 

Thanks and have fun.

[Loackie 269]

^I don't recommend maxing micro upgrades until M3, so it's usually irrelevant until then, getting the first few upgrades are ideal (Test servers are a thing, so maybe someone will add information from that too).  Also, someone posted a picture of an M4 Hammer, it's in page 15.

There are lots of people saying the Hammer is over-powered but honestly, I think it's just the noobs that think so. No offense. I kill the Hammer with a rail, fire, and isida no problem. If you are good, the gun you use will be good and appear over-powered to the weaker players. That's normal. I just hope the developers won't weaken the hammer and pretty much discourage everyone from buying it. I think its calibrated just right! Keep up the good work!

Hammer looks good m3... Looks nice on the hornet and viking. Damage is awesome.

[Amagi 1,728]

Hammer is quite amazing when you get used to it.

More good games with my alt.

It must be fun playing with players lower than your league, like taking candy from a child.

Not really. He has the same equipment as them, just more experience. It's not unfair to be better than someone else.

Get Hammer M1 if you like short-range assault weapons, or Thunder M1 if you like long-range assault/support weapons.

For Hammer to be effective, you usually need Hornet (or Hunter if you want more health) so that you can get enough speed to get away from the enemy after your clip runs out. Heavy hulls are a big no-no. At short ranges, it can 2-shot Hornets of the same M, and 3 shots at Medium ranges. 

 

Hide-and-seek tactics are essential when using Hammer, dealing as much damage as possible at a target then hiding to recharge your clip. Maps like Iran, Silence, Combe, Sandbox and Noise are great maps for Hammer. 

 

For those people who are saying "it's just basically a downgraded Thunder", no. You can't really compare the two as one is a short-ranged assault turret while another one is a long range turret which deals max damage at a longer range and is really risky when used at short ranges (self-damage bruh). Hammer can usually kill any light and medium hull at a short range on a full clip (granting that you can survive)

 

Another thing, knockback. Thunder deals 100-200 knockback, which is quite strong, but Hammer deals 20-30 knockback, PER PELLET, and there are about 10-15 pellets in a single shot. That's more than enough to make any railer/shafter/hammer-er/thunder-er miss. 

 

TL;DR Version

Hammer is way stronger in short ranges as it has higher damage/fire rate/knockback, but only at short ranges, and the only way to acheive that is Hornet. Thunder still king in long ranges, and you better watch out for Freezes, they can easily take advantage of your slow turret speed.
