I feel like railgun could use a buff, but this is the wrong way to do it.

what did you do to hunter? the same health as viking but slower speed? Why?

Sure acceleration is nice, but the difference is minimal, and more than outstripped by the top speed difference.

Can someone give me a detailed reason why any one with any turret should get hunter over viking now?

K thanks.

 

How am I getting 100k though?

Well, for a start make sure you buy it for 50k during a sale, rather than the full 100k.

Leave freeze as it is, it's good now.  -_-

Hunter is much more stable, and turns faster. Viking gets knocked around easily. Thus Hunter is better when you are using turrets that don't require you to move around much, and also pay dearly when their aim is knocked off - such as Railgun, Shaft, Magnum, maybe Thunder. I've also seen many players use it successfully with Smoky.

Is it really worth losing a Marshal account on behalf of your beloved turret?

Equip Viking and go against a Twins and you will see how much unstable Viking is

But Hunter is stable and gives a good platform for turrets that needs good aim 

 

IMO

Vik=bettr for short range turrets

Hunter=For SMoky,Thunder ...

 

But obviously since hunter has odd looks and Viking looks more good , all guys go for Viking

and i went for it as M1 cause it was cheap

Lots of drama here :ph34r:

Other turrets also use Gauss curve for damage distribution (except Fire, Freeze, Isida and Shaft in sniping mode which deal constant damage) but the difference in lucky and unlucky shots is negligible for these turrets, not so significant like for Railgun. For example, M0 Ricochet deals around 180-210 damage and M1 Railgun deals 400-800 damage. This makes Railgun too luck-based while Railgun needs to be the ultimate skill-gun which has nothing with luck.

K thanks.

simple , be like me.

play every day to make the most out of missions , open containers , participate in events like crazy weekend , only use drugs when necessary, and last but not least , never ever buy paints , and supplies and unnecessary stuff like drones and batteries .

 

also , please discuss your crystal count and how to collect more here

True

[Siddhant11 4]

I was quite annoyed at these kind of players who kept on saying "Buff railgun", "railgun is too weak", "will railgun be ever buffed?" and negatively replied each time - "railgun is OK. It just required a consistent amount of skill, aiming and experience".

 

I used railgun on all of my accounts, a combined 173h of usage(which is most used on each account), so there is no problem of Experience. I am good at aiming and using railgun. No doubt.

 

But when my one of my friends suggested that "you should try all turrets instead of just railgun", I began trying turrets like Isida, Thunder, Smoky, Ricochet, Firebird, Magnum and freeze, I found that I could do a lot better with them, especially thunder and magnum [ point to be noted- with ZERO experience of using them ] and I was just Fooling myself with railgun throughout.

 

Railgun does need a buff. No doubt. But the real Problem is - Devs dont listen, they consider their Point of view supreme and not the players who suffer. Continue this. I don't have any problem. Thats why Tanki is gaining players since 2016.

 

No Hate from me. Just sharing my thoughts.

Peace.

First a bunch of people need to spend tons of crystals buying and MUing Freeze, and THEN it can be nerfed unbuffed :ph34r:

yeah we spend crystals on MU in freeze to m4 ........... SO WHAT YOU SAY FIREBIRD IS FREE TO MU JUST  replace your statement freeze with firebird so then : First a bunch of people need to spend tons of crystals buying and MUing FIREBIRD, and THEN it can be nerfed unbuffed

[Person_Random 4,991]

Yeah, I'm probably getting alteration the moment i purchase firebird kit.

 

Weird unrelated question: can you have Fox M2 at WO1?  I saw this guy with Fox M2 and several other protection M2.

[r_peti45670 7]

re-old-railgun, is that you?

 

i dont understand what do you mean by this.

 

I think you are mistaken by the way Railgun's damage works. The damage distribution follows the bell curve, meaning that most damage values will be around the middle of Railgun's damage range, while minimum and maximum values are very rare. I explained this in more detail in this post.

 

If you want, you could buy the M2 alteration for Railgun, which makes it so that you get stable medium damage every single time.

 

thank you for posting that comment again , and yes i have read it from long time ago, but i think that my idea of removing 3 shots light hulls could greatly improve the xp/bp battles ( and even the pro/non-pro battles) and i see many players agree with me.

 

for alt , yes i know :) and ive already bought  it on my main acc but its still cost 100k and in past before Halloween re-balance update we need to pay extra 100k ? i dont mind that 100k not really hard ;) but its annoying and most important alterations are not allowed in xp/bp battles which make no sense.  

 

 

I feel like railgun could use a buff, but this is the wrong way to do it.

 

yes railgun needs a buff , a min dmg buff to decrease the luck shots which make it kill light hulls by 3 shots. its already good at med and heavy hulls and making railgun weak against light hulls make it unbalanced. 

 

 

Other turrets also use Gauss curve for damage distribution (except Fire, Freeze, Isida and Shaft in sniping mode which deal constant damage) but the difference in lucky and unlucky shots is negligible for these turrets, not so significant like for Railgun. For example, M0 Ricochet deals around 180-210 damage and M1 Railgun deals 400-800 damage. This makes Railgun too luck-based while Railgun needs to be the ultimate skill-gun which has nothing with luck. 

 

absolutely, im trying to pass this idea to the developers but i need some support , as explained the min dmg needs a buff that will not make it OP ! it will stay same as it was before this buff will be happen coz max dmg which effect med-heavy hulls as remain same . but the railgun light hulls balance will be changed to the better

think that railgun is okay and does not need a buff is your opinion and i really respect it ! , with out the players that i see and hear thier complaints about railgun and its problem with the 3 shots kill light hulls i decided to make this topic ! , and yes i feel like the developers dont listen to us but lets hope the good they are doing their best im sure ! i mean why would they to do such a bad stuff like ignoring player and doing bad updates so the players leave !,  but i dont know if maf will let the developers take a look at it or not ! and if he decided to pass it , for who will he pass ? nives or the devs directly ?

 

guys please take a look at my vulcan buff topic its really important too buff both vulcan !! and railgun.

Fox M2? I've never heard of such a thing :lol:

I think he wanted to say Firebird.. He miswritten.

[Person_Random 4,991]

Fox M2? I've never heard of such a thing :lol:

It's protection against Firebird.

I think he wanted to say Firebird.. He miswritten.

No, I mean Fox M2, the protection against Firebird.  I was playing a battle and I saw this crazy WO1 with 10/10 Firebird M1 (normal) and 24% against smoky, as well as several crazy protections. So I checked this guys profile and...

(zoom in to get a better view) 

He also has Eagle M2, but I didn't really get a shot of that.

Now do you believe me?

Lion M2 is Moonwalker's protection and it got converted into this M2 module (22%) when they split protection and paints.

No idea how he got Fox M2 though.

 

You blurred the nickname so it might be false. What's his nickname?

I would like to check it out myself :D
