invalid Railgun's penetration

[idiboy 41]

It's a good thing that railgun's penetration decreases over tanks, but this thing annoys me;
For e.g you're hiding behind a tank who has double armor, and a railgun shoots you both. The first one gets 500 damage while the second one (you) about 1000.. That armor must have blocked some of its power, which I think the second tank would be getting like 500 damage or so. Same goes if someone has a railgun protection module. He blocks 50% of the damage, but others still get the 100%, so I guess that must be changed.

Nice idea , but it will be annoying for players.

its logical and illogical in some way, but complicated to explain

[Tani_S 736]

So do you suggest that a 50 % module or a DA should divide the penetration power of Rail by 2?

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

No. Rail is already okay as it is, except for M2 which needs a small buff.

M2 railgun does have a buff, its just in the form of the high caliber ammo alteration.

[murcielagoes 331]

If you think Railgun's penetration should be reduce then you must be tripping, the amount of rail protection in battle is significantly high, railgun can't afford to have another major nerf

Compare the damage and price numbers of Rail. Damage wise Rail M2 is like M1.5, and price wise it is like M1.9.

 

Alterations are not supposed to be buffs, but if the M2 alteration is OP, they should nerf it.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

This would make supplies even more powerfull.

 

In this case I would rate balance over realism.

[shafter9 156]

It is up to your imagination how the DA works. It might be a penetrable material/membrane that resists large impact forces and the absorption of kinetic energy by letting the projectile through and then automatically isolating the damage, like current military aircraft self-sealing anti-foaming fuel tanks, rather than a solid plate, which a railgun would destroy instantly anyways.

Well, it's not really OP, because of the longer reload time and the price, resulting in not very many ppl having it. But it's a good alteration to have for rail users, so it's fine, even tho I sort of get annoyed that a railgun with the alteration and double damage can one shot my 4/10 m2 viking at full health without rail protections or double armor. But that's just me, I don't like being one shotted without warning.

[Mario3108 462]

But, it's your fault if you are hidden behind another tank. Simply, don't make it. This idea would definitely annoy railgun users.

[I.Follow 140]

This is the stupided and worst idea ever , mannnnnn ! Rail already got a massive nerf in 2016/10 worst re_balance . I suggest tanmi noon devs to apply this idea for railgun

 

1: return the old railgun (before 2016/10 rebalance)

 

2: Replace the m2 altretion with this https://prnt.sc/hf7oj0 to return the current rail stats if someone bought it

 

3: an auto altretion for xp / bp battles that make there rail as the current rail.

Decline it buc it will annoyed alot of railgun player there is enough change in railgun we dont want another gun get  ruined like tanki did to isa

[Coat 2,280]

I want this idea NOW

this is the million dollar statement

[Legacy 754]

I'm against this, I mean if you are behind a player and got a railgun shot, the player will recieve by example 1000 damage and you'll receive 500 isn't that enough?

railguns reload was decreased though, so the amount of damage per shot isnt as important as it used to be...

[pro_guy 553]

so, if the first tank hit has 50% prot against rail, and the second one has 25% prot, the second tank will have around 65% prot from that shot? that's definitely not bad at all, rails won't do that many double/triple kills anymore :P

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

If I shoot through a teammate, my damage wil decrease when I hit an enemy?

yes, this nooby thing is already in the game btw :/

[raveen14 43]

k u want penetration than  also reduce railgun  protec to max 40 % 

[Paddy-Tanker 27]

Also against this. As a rail user myself, I would find it annoying to watch a coward hide behind a tank with double armor so the damage dealt to them is greatly lowered. Right now, rail is almost perfectly balanced, apart from m2 needing a slight buff like said previously.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Tanki wasn't designed to have logic to it... this is one of those examples. Railgun would be way too weak if this happened, and instead of going for a collateral, I would only try picking off non-DA or protection players first.
