invalid Shooting an enemy through a teammate shouldnt affect railgun damage output

[Epic_Space_Mango18 592]

You dont deal damage to teamamtes to begin with, so why should shooting through one to hit an enemy take away damage? I noticed this quite a lot, so instead of doing 600 ish I do under 400 damage and it's quite annoying.

The fact has strategic value, particularly in XP/BP. You may wanna hide yourself behind an enemy to reduce the damage you take by enemy penetrating Rail XD and it makes the Rails aim even better. I say no, as it adds slightly more skill to the turret and that it can have good strategic value, so...

It's just for shooting through teammates. Now if I shoot an enemy through another enemy then the damage should be less

I know you talk only about teammates, but even this little fact has a good deal of strategic value behind it ;)

Meh. It rarely happens since rail beams to angle towards teammates so to shoot through one is rare. I see no strategy that could possibly be behind that.

 

Well, except for the person being shot at lol

You should be thankful that you're using a penetrating weapon where as for me, if I was using any other impact turret like thunder or twins and a teammate comes right in front of me (usually with a taller hull than mine since I use Viking) I end up hitting the teammate, and chances are if I was using thunder, I would inflict self damage to my self. And that action could mean the difference between winning a battle and losing a battle.

Hmm yea, you should be able to do damage to you team mate lol (jk) its simply because the rail loses damage the more hulls it hits.

This will ruin the point of camping behind an enemy tank to take less damage from another enemy tank, as P40 said. Highly disagree.

Penetration in real life decreases too.

Why the hell should railgun be like this?

It basically makes it a magma ray blasting through everyone, which makes it much more OP, and we already know tanki doesn't like OP things ;).

Nor does it like UP things like rail :/

If you buy the high caliber ammo alteration for railgun, then you could even one shot unprotected medium hulls with double damage.

I know, I rented it. Rails without the alt are little devils to come across.

Or, a more plausible idea is this: every time a teammate enters your shot he automatically self destructs. That should teach the teammate not to block your shot, and will allow Railgun users to shoot anyone on their team they deem unworthy.

That would cause saboteurs to rise again

Probably so you cannot hide behind a mammoth so it takes all the damage while you do 600 damage per shot.

[HAPPSHOT 2,029]

No, or the strategy of "hiding flag taker" won't be useful anymore

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Why failgun hide then??

okay if it is hiding behind a wall. you fire on the wall and damage should be done to tank. right?
