Let's Discuss Striker!

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Wait... you have Cyclone? That thing I swear.... can smash through even M4 Titan with M4 Orka.

I have it on my Third lieutenant account, not this one. I was thinking of picking it up on this one on Saturday but I decided on Mortar for Magnum instead. I was disappointed by that purchase as well.

I been playing loads with striker with uranium alt and this thing was AND still is absolutely beast in battlefield, ANY MAP. 

 

Noticed few interesting things:

 

First, always need to have striker protection module equipped to avoid massive splash damage. 

Second, it is horrible with hunter than viking. Why? A lot of shots are bare guessing. Need to shoot in front of vertically moving enemy. But with hunter, while shooting in movement, rocket's do not fly straight but more upwards. So they fail hitting targets!! When standing still yes, no problem, but while moving, no. No issues like that with viking. Using viking is not problem, but I think when hull overdrives will be out(knowing, how tanki likes to buff turrets/hulls which are not much used to make more money), viking won't be as OP as it's always been, but hunter will be, need the practice. 

Third, recent nerf did not make striker less OP. You can barely notice it.

Forth, time to time, shooting randomly when driving towards enemy base - pays off.

Wait.... you disappointed on the Mortar alt?

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Yeah. I had a feeling that I would have been disappointed. Tried it out in a few PRO battles but it just isn't for me. I like hitting direct hits on every one of my shots.

RIP your crystal. One time I bought Sub-Caliber Round for my Thunder M2 at the full price.... worth it.

Did some testing with Striker earlier. It may not have much of an impact on your gameplay but if you're locking onto a tank and the reticle completes, the rockets go towards where on the tank you laser was last when the reticle finished filling. 

 

I always thought that the missiles would target the middle of the tank as much as possible. 

 

So just in case you're confused: 

 

If you have your laser on the left side of the tank for 90% of the reticle encircling but you move your laser to the right side of the tank just before the reticle finishes, the missiles will go to the right side of the tank. The missiles target the last place the laser touched on the tank.

The Remote Alt needs a larger blast radius/damage if it is going to cost that much.

Just bought Missile Launcher ''Hunter'' and I am using it with the hull Hunter  :ph34r:

 

It is good if you are bad at aiming and I got 2 goldboxes it is cheap so worth the price

Me: Cyclone or Uranium

[Truthteller 4,204]

Me: Cyclone or Uranium

I got uranium too

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I got uranium too

TBH Cyclone much more powerful bicos it can take out a M4 medium hull with Orka with one salvo. Even M1 with Cyclone is OP. It's a bye-bye to M4 heavy hulls.

How good is uranium alteration?

It is worth it.

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

I bought mortar it seems good. With practice it looks like it can be competitive.

Mortar? Are you talking about Magnum?  :huh:

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

Yes magnum. It good for defence and can be good if someone uses saboteur drone along with it. I dont use striker much anyway.

lol wrong section then xD

I have multiple alt accounts and I just bought the Uranium alteration on two of them. It's honestly soooo good it's incredibly satisfying to see the amount of damage after you fire a salvo. After buying M2 Striker (then fully upgrading to M3 (M2 10/10)) on one them at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, I was astounded by the damage  :D ... killing medium tanks with one shot + Double damage with it  :wub:

Should have wait till Brigadier or Lt General to get M3.

Juggernaut battles in a nutshell:

 

[Truthteller 4,204]

Tested up cyclone alteration after uranium got +20% reload and it was really good I came first in 2 battles, I was killing everything with it.

I can't seem to get in the top 3 with Cyclone in the lower ranks. It simply gives the enemy too much time to get to cover. I would settle for Stock Striker in DM battles as the 4 missile salvo is all it takes to destroy medium hulls and damage heavy hulls. Medium hulls are the most prevalent anyway. Did you use the salvo often or did most if not all of your kills come from single rockets?

salvo mostly, I follow and chased the target if they tried to run, I deliberately went for heavy hulls too whenever I saw them

Yep. Cyclone is the anti-Orka alternation. Uranium too.
