Review of New Alterations

[SageoftheSixPaths 215]

Hello players!

 

I did not see an official thread so I thought I will post myself.

This is a thread where you can post your review of the new set of alterations released. You can discuss such things as pros and cons, how the gameplay is different with it, tips to maximise any advantages and strategies to minimise disadvantages that an alteration may provide, etc. This will help other players decide whether an alteration is worth their money. Thank you

 

I have only the Large Caliber Rounds alteration. My review :

Advantages:

It raises the standard damage per shot of Railgun from average to decent.

Having a longer delay means you have extra time to readjust your aim before shooting if someone knocks it off.

Disadvantages:

Has a very long reload which is worsened by the delay time nerf. Not meant for melee combat.

The longer delay can become a burden when trying to engage enemy under his fire.

Impact force is still the same or less ( even if the round is `larger`)

 

Overall, I recommend buying it only if you really like Railgun and the mechanics associated with it but want to deal a little more damage. Turrets like smoky and thunder outperform it in every situation imaginable.

Railgun's new colour is so bad, hope they will change it.

Large caliber rounds is the renamed version of high caliber ammo, still brings the damage and reload back to what it was before the rebalance update of October 2016

After today's server restart Railgun, as well as several other turrets, will have 7 new shot colours added into the game which can be obtained from containers, more information can be found in the Wiki - https://en.tankiwiki.com/Shot_Effects

Too early to discuss. They are in the process of altering the alterations.
