How good is striker?

[deadmanrising 715]

Haven't had time to test it so i know this is a silly question, considering it for main and alt

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Not very good as of yet, it's quite hard to keep the laser on someone long enough to fire the rockets. In addition, they usually see the laser and back behind cover. However, firing at heavy tanks in the center of Polygon CP is something. :P

 

Don't buy it, though. Too weak. At long range the rockets take too long to get there, at short range the splash damage is too strong. At medium range people are moving around too fast for the lock-on to take hold.

You know you can just tap the spacebar to shoot a single rocket that flies like a Twins projectile? It autoaims vertically to fly towards enemies and even if they move out of the way you can hit the ground or a wall next to them and deal splash damage.

Obviously I know that. But that mode by itself is quite inaccurate, unpredictable, and not very unique as opposed to Thunder.

Im sure it will improve over time, im fed up of all the other turrets anyway

So am I. It's better to err on the weaker side for a new turret, so players aren't "baited" to buy it and then see it nerfed. Now, the only thing to do is to buff it, and players love buffs. :)

guys its the first day out we are bound to find faults in a new product .. give it time to get use to it and also figure out how it works to your own advantageous .. so far i'm not sure how to use it so in time i might change from ricochet to striker .. yea you heard it here .. i have it on two of my accounts m3 so who knows if i master it this might be a new adventure for me in tanki world ..lol

[Amagi 1,728]

I find it funny how this turret can miss me in point blank range cuz of the alternating shots x)

[Bydo 20,130]

I got it on my alt it's decent.

[Tani_S 736]

The stats for Striker's normal mode (no salvos) seem to be stronger than Shaft's arcade mode.

It's more like Thunder.

[stanzhang 3,291]

New guns are always OP because no one have protection against it.

[GLADIATOR440 61]

Apparently its DPS is even better than thunder's. That's kind of OP.

EDIT: Thunder's still far better because of striker's pitiful projectile speed and its weak splash damage.

Well, Thunder isn't exactly known for it's DPS :lol:

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

I find that the lock on is too slow, that I tend to stick to firing one single rocket at the same time. Before I could lock on, I get rekt by Smoky,Rails, short range...etc. It's easy to miss shots using this weapon, even when going up close.

 

Reload time is a bit slow.. -_-

How do you manage to display Recruit Rank in your profile ? :P

:ph34r: It was fun for a while but I didn't want people to think I was the biggest noob here so I ranked back. ;) :)

Well, Shaft's arcade mode is only to provide Shaft with some sort of defense in close ranges.

Or to help it finish off a Medium hull, or get a shot in when they know that by the time the scope in, the target will be out of view, or they will be dead, etc. But yes, it is second in importance to the scope shot. For striker, both modes seem to be equally important, the stronger mode for more special situations, etc.

It's fun, started a new account for it and have a decent D/L (2.3).  Its difficult to get used to but has some interesting characteristics.  I do think they will shorten the laser timer, I hardly ever use it.  I like the alternating shots, if I keep track of them I can pop out only a little bit from behind a building and expose myself a little.

[Skills.n.Girls 767]

So noisy. I'd like to make it a bit different. Like it is shooted with some damper or... Idk english well but you know what I mean : )

Conclusion:needs some buff!

Maybe a buff to the operation but its damage is high enough.
