[Issue 2] Guide to: Railgun! (TWG)

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

Railgun is a very effective Turret and is one of the most popular Turrets of all in Tanki. Railgun is best in Mid - Long Range Battles.

Railgun is not common upon Newbies as it requires a great deal of skill to use. Most people don't start off using Railgun because they think that it is useless and can be substituted by Shaft, in most cases, that's not entirely true. Railgun has the added bonus of mobility, it is very versatile compared to Shaft because it doesn't waste time going into Scope Mode to focus onto a target, you can just shoot! Railgun is so popular, that it was one of the first XT items ever made in Tanki Online. Railgun is best when mounted on either the Hulls 'Wasp' or 'Hornet,' the reason for that, is that, they are both fast Hulls, which means you can move around the map and kill enemies without them even noticing. The two main negative points with Railgun, is its long Reload Time; it takes a long time to reload before you can shoot again and it also takes a while to warm up, before it can shoot, it takes a couple of seconds before it can shoot, so enemies will see the Turret warming up, and try to push shooter so he can't aim well. This is done mostly by other Rails, Hammers, or Smokeys.

Pros: 

- Once ready to shoot, it packs a huge punch! It does a lot of damage per shot!
- It has big penetration power so it is easy to kill two enemies with single strike.
- Very versatile.
- Big range - it can shoot from one end of map to other, without suffering any damage loss because of range.
- Knockback Effect - this is a very useful asset of Railgun, it has such a big knockback, that it can flip some light Hulls over or backwards or throw off opponent's aim.
- Rail is one of most used Turrets for special battle format "Parkour" because of it's knockback.

Cons: 

- Has a long warm-up time before it can shoot.
- Has a long Reload Time.
- In night battles, it can lose its stealth because opponents can see the beam of light before it is about to shoot.

Conclusion: Railgun is a very effective Turret to use but it is very hard for Newbies to use. It is best to use it when you reach Warrant Officer 1 (), where you use it until you Rank up twice () and if you like it, you can purchase its M1 Modification but if you don't like it, don't buy it! Remember; Railgun is not for everyone!

 

Railgun Rating: 9/10

How is this supposed to be a guide for railgun? All you basically wrote was a wiki description, except it was 'in your own words' and there was a bit of extra details.

Thanks Guys!

Maybe because none of it was actually copied from the Wiki.

Noticed I said 'in your own words' (i.e pros and cons) which sums up half of the topics post. Then you just wrote more of an introduction but with 'extra details' at the start and a conclusion. Anyone could write what you posted in only 5 mins.

Dude, chill, I get that it is not reporter quality (I mean, nobody in this group starts off that way) He said it was his first article. He will probably look back later and see things to improve on, but this is his FIRST article, you expect him to write a 2k word guide? no. Your expectations are too high, an enjoyable article does not mean perfect.

[anuclearbomb 220]

i came, and didn't comment, therefor i don't like

jk but srsly? it's a bit short, a hulls to use, and a vs other guns section would be nice, just a suggestion;)

What do you mean my expectations are too high? Sure I don't expect a 'reporter quality' article. It's just that the title says a guide to railgun but it isn't anywhere close 2 a guide. Anyone could write better than this in their first try  -_-
