Hornet and Failgun

[simonkid 9]

Recently I have been trying to work out why people like hornet and railgun soo much, because after researching I have found that it is probably the worst tank in the game, but it speaks differently...

 

Here's my theory

 

1. Back in the day when XP battles started they worked out that hornet rail was probably the best comb for it because no matter what level of hornet you had 2 shots from a railgun could almost always kill it, so tankers that liked XP battles would buy it for them and just us it in regular battles too, so people got good at using it and it caught on.

 

 

2. Railgun and hornet in a 100% fair battle would no doubt be the worst tank going around, but the reason it is good is because 0% of battles are 100% fair so they end up winning.

 

3. Have you ever realised that hundreds of tankers use this comb but even less ever become good at it? This is because hornet and rail is one of the worser tanks just the 5% of people that use it know how to play and normally are only dominating noobs or players not paying attention. EXPLANATION this comb is the most popular in the game Which mean about 20% of tankers use it, so that means about 9% of all the good players are using it while all other combos have about 0.9% of good players using them so hornet and rail looks good and more people get it

 

4. Have you ever realised that hornet and rail (with the exception of XP battles because everyone use 'em there) that hornet and rail only ever get in the top 12 in and battle if they use supply's, that is the only reason (and good playing.) Most of them spend more time blowing people up with mines than they do shooting them.

 

5. they use railgun completely wrong, it is a long range weapon. it is normally used it mid range areas, also another way it is used is camping. WTH? Camping with hornet? are these guys stupid or something? If ya gonna do that use flipping Titan it works 40x better, trust me I tried it.

 

6, the compromise, use hammer, it is like 3 railguns in a row, 1, 2, 3 then you wait for reload, and since you people don't use its range or special ability then then hammer is perfect, try it, and don't look at others and say hammer

Sucks, I have not found a good tanker that can use it yet so test your self.

 

Conclusion, railgun is only good. Because good players use it and they drug and only ever win against noobs. Everything else is better than it and it only works in unfair battles AND THAT IS FINAL, SO SHUT UP

 

Lol I an gonna get raged at also, tank says the best players are the ones that use rail and hornet but i will answer that later. BY THE WAY I HATE HORNET AND RAIL

 

Ugh

Eh? Just because it was made for long-range, doesn't mean it can't be effective in mid-range maps. It's actually pretty good in maps like Silence. Railguns are a pain to deal with, which is why I wear Digital paint.

As for camping. As long as you don't die, and can actually camp with this combination, then go for it. Tanki isn't all about what equipment you have. The term "skill" also plays a major role. Your play-style, and strategy are key in battle.

 

Yeah, Hammer is like a close-ranged Thunder/Railgun.

Huge damage, fast shots, and a "long" reload, but not that long at all.

And its shot dispersion isn't that wide, after all, it's a short-range weapon. So if you want to shoot 125 meters +, then dream on and get Thunder or something. Why do you think it doesn't have self-damage? Lol.

And M3/4 version of Hammer is completely Overpowered and broken, especially with no paints.

lol Hornet and Failgun. new nickname for XP.

[shivam400 765]

Its Not Railgun But Failgun. HaHa What A Faliure

[pagaduan 25]

Hormet - Failgun ( Hornet - Railgun ) Its ok "Failgun" / Railgun

[Amagi 1,728]

Hornet and Rail is really overrated.

I don't understand why the community really likes it, I know it's fun, but there are many funner combos.

 

And that combo sucks in Noise matches, they're basically useless.

That 's because Noise sucks

Wrong! They don't know to use it.

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

Wrong! They don't know to use it.

You don 't go to that Map with a Railgun if you 're smart, or even better don 't go to that Map with any gun. :D

 

... and that 's because I 'm a noob and noobs never go to Noise. -_-

[Earth 1,091]

Noise is pretty hard map to skill, you need to know in which spots to play etc.

and lot of people hate railgun because they dont play a lot of this gun, bad upgrades, cant skill it!

But as for me, i've played 75% battles with this combo and my favourite ma is noise... even playing vs generallisimuses i am in top3 because i know that map very good and i know how to pull my team out of draw or small loose..

if you want pm me and i can show u the best places in noise, playing /w hornet-railgun

SEE YOU IN BATTLE !

[Longcat970 119]

tl;dr

XP sucks.

Upvote for making me laugh with unfounded evidence and reasoning. :lol: :rolleyes:

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

Railgun is more irritating than a serious threat on the battlefield, Why? because they shoot, panic, reverse then fall over and die. Then come back with double power on.

I play quite a lot Hornet-Rail too, mostly XP.

In XP I don 't camp, in regular battles hardly: just a few kills and than move on again.

 

The few times I visited this Noise Map I found it very unbalanced.

Favouring druggers and campers: so it 's not my cup of tea at all.

 

Could be wrong about it though: but there are plenty other Maps I enjoy very much so why should I bother about Noise? 

(meet me in XP though if you want @The-Rail-King btw I 'm only playing XP DM 's with this M2 account at the moment)

To @simonkid you should have called it: Hornjet and Failgun! :P

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Its a gun thats hard to master but i use m1 at my rank sometimes and with it i can quote regularly get in top 3-4. I have had some epic k-ds with it. Everything you say about how it sucks in real battles is soooo wrong. Its paired with hornet cause thats the most versatile hull. Its fast and has good armor and like railgun is hard to truely master. titan is too slow at low ranks to camp with rail vecause as soon as you shoot you need cover and titan cant get there quick enough. 

 

 

 

My d-l on my noob account with rail wasp (can be 1 or 2 hit by nearly anything) i also captured 4 flags in 15 min on dussledorf (proof i wasnt camping)

 

 

Im sorry but you have this all wrong. Rail Hornet is a truely deadly combo in the right hands and takes true skill to completely master

 

 

 

 

sorry but most points you stated arent really valid

Partly agree. The long reload makes it especially hard to defend yourself.

That 's the one thing what I don 't like about the Rail, but hey everything comes with a price and TO did a good job with that!

Pretty balanced game right now. (except for the new Hammer)

 

The increased flipping of Wasp and Hornet, if you meant that, is the effect of the recent auto-aim update.

 

Don 't know what 's wrong with using DD 's though: you don 't use them?

[Athena369 265]

meh.... What kind of a noob post is this?. ....noobs making noob posts.... Had enough of this already....

[Amagi 1,728]

I take back my previous statement.

 

 

Hornet and Railgun is a pretty neat combo when used right, but my hatred comes from those noobs who can't even aim with it. (I've seen Majors)

They're not really good in CP, unless they spam Double Powers, then they're a really good asset...

 

But Railgun is a good turret nontheless, when a skilled person is using it, he/she becomes nearly unstoppable and unpredictable, it's either you're really good, or utterly horrible in using it (like me).

that is because you are more skilled than the generalissimo's, it has nothing to do with the combo, but i bet you would be even better with hammer

...and that 's why you needed to add your own (meaningfull) post to this topic...talking about noobs posting...

Reason 1. Your using wasp, I have no problem with that and it is a good tank

 

Reason 2. Half the people in that battle don't know want they are doing

 

3. You have skill my friend, BY THE WAY I have nothing wrong with just railgun or anything it is that reappearing combo that drives me MAD

Thanks :) That combo does appear alot hence the reason Digital is my main paint. Its a very good combo though and thats just how some people go through tanki. Everyone has there favourites just most (50%) people like rail the most. Same with hornet

Ugh

Dude stop playing with warrant officers and go play against people your own rank.

[simonkid 9]

Lol I like how you say hornet is the most versatile hull, when hunter is, anyway hunter and Titan work a ton better than hornet, I have mastered railgun I have on and off using it since 2012, I should know, only time I like it is in monny Carlo

[simonkid 9]

warrant officers? I play with some of the best M2 rail and hornet combos around
