Something doesn't add up

Someone can explain me why the hull Viking m1 die with only 3 ricochet m1 hit? 3 hit I mean 3 plasma balls without double power, with DP it needs only 2 balls. Instead with my Thunder m1 I need to shot 3 or 4 times to knock down the same viking m1, it depends by the distance, the same thing happen with the new shotgun, it need 3 or more shots, I think Ricochet is over powered.

Are you sure it's 6 shots? I mean 6 normal shots. You should test it in a closed battle with a friend to make sure you aren't mixing things up. You could have been hit by an M2 rico or rico M1 with full MU's or if you were the ricochet, then you could have been shooting an M0 viking. I don't know what it's like for lower grades, but at M3 a Hornet M3 will die from 6-7 shots and a Viking will obviously take more hits.

It is strange because I was shooted by some m0 rico too, and my viking m1 after 6 shots was down! IMHO I think it is over powered in lower grades in comparison with other turrets, I can't say for now how it is above m1, my experience doesn't allow that, but I know rico has an advantage to the long distance too, compared to some other turrets.

sometimes rico shots cause damage even if they dont hit you. is a particular situation where your pc is not syncronized whit the tanki server cause lag. even if you dont see them, in tanki server and the rico user pc those shots were landed.

The shots from M0 look very similar to M2, so it could have been an M2 shooting you. Again, the best way to check this is to test it in controlled conditions with someone you know for sure has a Ricochet M1.

As sorta mentioned above, lag can cause you to not see a-lot of rico shots, along with other types too, even if you game appears to be running smoothly, lag is still there and gets better and/or worse every second, to an extent.
