Let's Discuss Augments

Yep and the alterations stack so Railgun just became better than it ever has been...

But think: Combined price: 150-200k crystals? With that amount, you could have previously MU'd it quite a bit.

M2+M1 alt=150k, M3+/M4 =Approx 250k.

You're better off buying the 2 alts then MUing it to M4.

Hammer alteration will be going to be too damn op.

I mean each shot is 33.3% of the clip.

New alteration increasing two more shots in a clip for the cost of 35% of increase reload UNfair trade i must say

M4s cost almost a million crystals each, so obviously yeah. But even 20 MUs gives a much better advantage instead of alterations that don't even increase the power..

The Smoky's M2 alteration deals 8 % less damage per second compared to the standard Smoky (critical shot as every fifth shot included).

 

By the way: Smoky + M2 alteration = Thunder + M1 alteration + M2 alteration

I just browsed thru all the alterations for railgun. What you would want to do is buy the M1 alteration, which increases turret rotation by 30% at the cost of your vertical auto aim, then buy the M2 alteration "High Caliber Shells" which increases your damage by 40% all round at the cost of your reload decreasing 50%. Add these values up, equip them on an M4 Railgun and you basically have Railgun prior to the balance changes and possibly even further back...

Ok, here are the stats after using the "Faster Horizontal Tracking" and "High Caliber Ammo" alterations on an M4 Railgun.

 

Min Dmg: 1120

Max Dmg: 2240

Reload: 6 sec

Rotation 121.5 deg/s

 

Tanki says that these alterations shouldn't change gameplay, but holy sh*t. Using Double Damage, an M4 Railgun wielding these alterations with a skilled player at the trigger has just become the new God of Tanki Online. You can't out run him, you can beat his reload but good luck beating him in a damage trade. Tanki really needs to rethink these things and check the stats of turret before they release game changing alterations like this...

I'm shaking in fear of what the M3 Alterations will be. Probably more damage increases at turret rotation cost or worse.

Rail ofc. Smoky alt decreases DpS.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Rail ofc. Smoky alt decreases DpS.

But makes it great on Light hulls. It's a weaker and faster Thunder without the splash, and very good when you are mobile. :)

You noticed too? It also says your account is un-viewable and that I have no permission to view it. What the hell.

[tankerkuldeep 739]

I will use rail only in XP battles.

 

Please also tell about freeze alteration. Should I buy

I would mainly use it in Arena CP, Hill , Island, polygon and other small map.

The range boost would be wasted, but if you think it would be useful so be it. Also, if you're only using Rail for XP/BP, then buy the Smoky alterations, it would serve you better.

It doesn't increase the overall range.

no i was asking about m2 alteration not m1.

I dont think 10% addition damage worth the removal of freeze effect

What do you think about twins' alteration?

It seems pretty good IMO.

It's amazing, pretty much better than stock twins in almost every situation. :)

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Hammer, railgun and smoky look like the best ones in terms of increased damage. The alts for twins and rico just have faster projectiles right?

Yes. The rico and twins alts decrease damage over time.

Yes and the range of minimum damage is doubled, so you can make more use of your faster projectiles -> more damage in the distance because the shots die out later.

[filipiar 46]

@Ialreadywon do you have some high rank account?

[ghost-guns 1,486]

The new smoky alt is so OP but my reload is slow with only 14 upgrades. Does anyone have it M4?

[ghost-guns 1,486]

True. I feel like the smoky and hammer alts are better though in terms of easy damage.
