The stupidest sight in tanki today

[TheCongoSpider 8,952]

I'm convinced that it's Hunter that falls into that category.

Category of what? Abundance? Or being the best hull? 

[XxStriker 519]

Well that's assuming that both of you aren't on equal footing. Protection modules do their part, double armour helps them even further and better when the protection module is less than 50%.

 

You can survive just fine if you have protection against them when you're both on equal footing (no DA or DD activated). 

You need a 5/15 shaft module to survive an hit from an m4 while using m4 titan. Neither of which are cheap. I'm quite sure the total price is double that of stock shaft. That is, without alterations.

Best hull :P

It's all a moot point. My M2 10/10 Titan get's one-shotted by Railguns and that's not uncommon. Shaft can be exploited when you camp and takes skill when you don't. Actually, most long/medium-range turrets can do really well when they camp. So what if it can one-shot a heavy hull? Tanki today is a druggers world and if you don't have DA on it's your fault. Besides, generally you should be able to escape the beam of a Shaft considering that it's extremely rare to camp in the enemies base. If we want to spawn-kill, we have to go in the open, which makes us vulnerable. A smart player can counter a Shaft in almost any map because of it's weak instant damage and small field of view. If you're a nub and think that putting on DA and 50% is enough to make you survive out in the open, you kinda deserve to get killed. Railgun has an almost instant damage and a slightly better capacity for attacking (though I do plenty of attacking with Shaft) while Shaft takes 4 seconds of knowing exactly where the enemy is to exact that damage. This is where your protection and DA come in. In the time that it takes to charge you either escape the shot and circle around, or only get hit with relatively small damage. At that point? You can kill the Shaft. A Shaft has its own skill set to counter yours, but the average nub Shaft can be countered just as easily as the average nub anything, while a really skilled Shaft is super dangerous - just like a super skilled anything.

I never get oneshotted by railguns, with 35% and 10/20 viking m3, which has less hp than your titan. Maybe wear some protection? I can't do the same with shaft unless I purposedly put months of savings into m4ing the module. You can't really count hornet overdrive as that is a guaranteed loss anyway.

I probably should have phrased that better.

 

 

At the beginning of the battle, around where the photo was taken, he approached me with Unaltered Railgun + Viking and shot me once. My impact force was able to make him miss 3 of his next shots. I was on low health waiting for him to shoot me while I'm there driving in ovals trying to evade him for about 10 seconds. I then was able to shoot the wall in the picture and kill him with the splash damage with me surviving on 5% HP. he says "LAMO" there. We encountered each other in the same spot again with me coming out victorious because the guy didn't shoot me (possibly out of fear of me knocking off his aim), so I said "Are you afraid to challenge me or something" but my Caps lock was on.

 

Then he spewed all that nonsense. Probably should have asked why he wasn't shooting me instead. I ignored him for the rest of the battle and then he said the last message. He saw hat as a 1 v 1 challenge in a PRO battle and not a challenge in MM battle.

Photo taken moments before disaster:

 

 

You can see that ping had something to do with it.  -_- 

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

Do I really need to show the numbers?

 

Shaft M4: 3300 damage, so 6600 damage with DD

Titan M3: 3529 hp.

Against 35% protection, Shaft still deals 4290 damage, which one-shots even an M4 heavy. You need at least M3 3/15 Eagle to survive with 40 HP on an M4 Heavy, as it deals 3960 damage. Why would they ever need Heavy Capacitor? Oh and of course, all of light and medium are still getting one-shot even with a 50% module. What does this mean? That activating DA is literally a waste of 50 crystals as you're getting one-shot regardless if you aren't wearing at least a 25% on a medium or 40% on a light.

 

But sure, let's assume it actually uses Heavy Capacitor... Then you're getting one-shot even with a 50% module. Does this sound any fair to you? Of course it will, as you Shaft users are completely self centered. Don't forget last patch made your reload even faster than it already was.

Back in the old days before Shaft's damage got buffed, you need full M4 Shaft Defence module to survive as Light Hull against M4 HC. Sparing 50 HP left. :mellow: That amount of HP remaining is equivalent to M4 Hornet+M3 Eagle vs M4 pre-buffed non-altered Shaft. :blink:

 

Nowadays even when an M4 Wasp/Hornet is wearing M4 Eagle, they still get one-shotted by M4 HC Shaft. :(

Math proof:

 

Wasp/Hornet M4: 2k HP

 

Shaft M4 + HC: 4,125 damage.

 

3300*1.25*0.5= 2062.5 damage. :mellow:

 

It is unfair for me getting one-shotted by a HC even with a M4 Eagle (unless he/she has Shinkai Radar activated of course :ph34r:). For real. Not to mention me as a light hull. But why I still use Hornet-Shaft plus Eagle module? For me, that is one way to counter against fully protected camper counterparts. Yep.... gonna upgrade my Eagle. :mellow: By the way, I am not a self-center Shafter.

Funniest thing about it was that I saw him but decided to just give up cause my ping was pretty annoying.

 

And that picture describes Hammer pretty well in most battles where I see it. Lol

[SporkZilla 1,775]

Just saw a load of players annihilate each other with various combinations of supplies and overdrives (must have been Wasps on both sides that dropped bombs) while trying to catch a gold box, and then someone else just drove in and picked it up.

Everything is even in the M0 and M4 tiers (and probably at M3 as well), but during the M1 and M2 tiers is where the imbalance between turret and hull combinations happen. 

 

I saw that as an added bonus for being patient with Heavy Capacitors. I was able to one-shot light hulls even if they had double armour activated. But that's if they didn't have protection against me. The ones with very little protection against me survived..because that's what protection modules do. If you have Shaft protection, it makes your life a whole lot easier. 

 

I don't think I agree with it being able to one-shot heavy hulls though. It was great for taking off 90% of its HP but fully one-shotting it took it to anoither level. Not many HC Shafts around though, and not really much use for it since I see more light and medium hulls that heavy hulls. 

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I have M3 8/15 Eagle right now. Should be good enough to make a difference when dealing with arcade shots, but not really sniper shot.

I end up with playing with / against this person often, a Keeper kit buyer. But today they just sat on a bridge in Brest with a Vulcan for the entire match and somehow nobody managed to snipe them. Great for them (and the other K/D chasers), but our team lost.

He should've camped up on a control point to secure at least one :P

"Why go for the big strong guy when I can get more score by killing weaker players. I don't care if we win or lose, I'll get my stars!"

 

 

Same stupid mindset with these pathetic people.

A big thanks to the numpties using MM Rugby battles today to drop gold bowes to each other to show off their parcour skills!

 

Nice one, not only did you gather together so I could kill you easily, you let me finish my missions in record time, earn max stars in the 2 or 3 battles I was following you in, and gained me 5000 cry.

 

Any chance you can act like prats again for me tomorrow?

[TheCongoSpider 8,952]

 

 

 

 

So initially, I thought it may have been an exploit or something, because it sounded exactly like what I do when I play with RGC Magnum. I charge up to 100% beforehand so that I can have the fastest possible reload when I shoot an enemy with it, if I even hit them. 

 

But nope. I kept trying to explain why it seems as if they have a very fast reload constantly (and at close range too which I found very odd of him to emphasise). If you're close, you may not notice the speed of the projectiles. So maybe he saw that he got hit and assumed it was a low velocity shot. But that's assuming he even knows about Magnum's seemingly intricate parameters. 

 

It's sad that I have to explain this the Legend players. It would make sense if he wasn't in the game for a while and overgeneralised some stuff about mechanics and their experiences, but no, this is a regular player. And I occasionally see some complaint messages from him in the chat. 

 

Similar to this (sorry for it being dark, I had a dimmer enabled):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This makes me remember something someone said in a thread a while ago:"The average tanker is not ready to be helped".

[XxStriker 519]

Isn't tiger the one going about conspiracies that you get nerfed by 20% if you don't buy? :lol:

 

And stupid will stay stupid no matter the playtime they have... B)

[u812ic 1,629]

I don't know if this is the stupidest, but it seemed very strange.

 

Brest CTF blue. Wasp with Gauss guarding the flag. We were down by one flag and time was running out, so I didn't stick around long enough to see if he did any good. Obviously he got killed a few times.

PhantomLord seemed like he was genuinely trolling. I just can't imagine him being serious when he said that.

I can beat this.

I want you to tell me what is wrong with this picture.

 

You've probably already figured it out, but this Mammoth and aris are both using Shaft. Of course, that's not stupid at all. What is stupid is the alterations they were using vs the playstyle they adopted.

 

The Mammoth is sitting in the back camping...with Light Capacitors. In a TDM. When no one will even bother to come all this way to hurt him.

 

Why is he deliberately using an alteration that cuts down his sniping damage? Does he want to get kills or to get a big fat juicy hitmarker?

 

Don't even get me started on his use of an Isida module.

 

aris, on the other hand, decided to hunt down the big targets with an alteration that makes Shaft even slower than it already is... with Wasp.

 

And he actually went on the offensive. With not even a Wasp M3, no no no... a Wasp M0. Even his modules won't help that much. He went with the lightest hull in the game and tried to snipe on the frontlines with Heavy Capacitors.

 

And he wonders why he went 0-12.
