How good is striker?

[wolverine848 13,097]

It's almost as if this turret was made FOR CP lol.

Should be good on Alexandrovisk (sp). Large map with only one CP...

[smokeyh2 1,512]

i bought m3 striker and wasn't really sure if i had made a good choice

played a few games with it at m3 and was a bit dissapointed with it at first

in the micro sales i decided to go all out and fully mued it to m4

it has completely transformed this weapon into something thats a force to be reckoned with

just a few things i have begun to learn about this weapon

 

1 its not for deathmatches you are very vunerable using it

2 i fully believe you need a heavy hull to get the best out of this weapon (i use my mammoth m4 ) as you need to be able to take some damage if your trying to get a lock on target

3 also its not designed as an attack weapon and like shaft its maybe best suited to a defensive role

4 its in its element on large maps

 

hope this give you some idea of my findings about it

 

ps i hope tanki increases the lock on time a bit to me its just that bit to slow

Love using Striker when all tanks pile up trying to get a gold box. People don't pay as much attention to the laser then. BOOM! But in other situations, Striker could do with a shorter time to lock onto targets, even if the reload after firing the rockets is slightly longer. Still good though in Polygon CPs when there's lots of tanks in the centre.

I agree. A faster lock trading off slower reload might be fair. The re-load seems pretty fast for such a powerful weapon.

Nope, nope, nope. no faster lock. striker in DM is too good. cant imagine if it get power up

 

1 rocket is enough to spam 1 player vs 1 player in DM.

striker mu is only 9 but can beat m4 score in DM. (drug)

Considering the fact this guy I was in a battle with had the M2 and M2 Viking yet couldnt hit me, shows Striker kinda sucks

[Tani_S 736]

Striker seems to perform very well in Polygon and Massacre map.

maybe it's the tanker and not the turret?  I've seen bad and I've seen good striker players.

 

It's a new turret so players need time to get comfortable with it and develop tactics.

When used properly it inflicts a LOT of damage.

Which map?

[Epic_Space_Mango18 592]

Which map?

Sandbox. Plus I was using Hornet M2 So I guess that's probably why. But then again I'd engage him a lot and I'd circle his tank, putting mere feet between us :/

 

He'd fire arcade shots at me, too. He only fired salvos at the two vikings on my team.

 

Also, I think it's the fact I can take three of his rockets and he can take three shots of my hammer, but Striker M2 is 0.04 seconds slower on the reload :/

With the extra info you have provided I'm not surprised you could defeat him. Up close hammer wins vs turret like striker almsot every time.

Plus it sounds like he was dividing attention between you and others, giving you time to close the distance.

He was a pretty good player. He killed me sometimes too. He said in the chat: "Ha, knocked you off aim!"

 

It was fun having him on the enemy team...gave a good challenge. I should have requested to add him.

I love it when people knock Hammer off aim.  :D

Add him if you have a snapshot of the final result of that battle.

M2 is trash in comparison to the other good M2 turrets (rico, for example)

Rico is probably the best M2

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Rico is probably the best M2

:huh:

:mellow:  

I just died.

[wolverine848 13,097]

I hear smoky is half-decent... :ph34r:

Meh. It was weakened lately. I can take Northerners with my Hornet/ Hammer. I'm glad I didnt get Northerner like I was planning to.

Guess it depends on the map. Kunger and Superhov, etc,  your gonna have to go stealth = more time spent hiding.

 

If the smoky can get a couple hits before hammer is in effective range it would be close.

I play in mostly small maps or bigger maps with lots of props like Berlin

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Ill just stick with using thunder then :P

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Played on NS Poly CP. Didn't do very well. Enemies were either destroyed before I could get a lock or moved behind cover.

 

And short range turrets have learned that they OWN Striker.

 

But was surprised that Rico also beats Striker.
