Yes, i realise this, however if there is multiple teslas you can create a web 3x the size of what u could if you could only shoot your own balls.

With just your brains you can pull off the same without 3x Teslas. I've tried this myself.

A real nerf would be a slight increase in speed than what the speed is currently for this augments or decrease its range.

Maybe this aug needs to shorten the chain lightnings (now its like 23 m) wich is to muuch.

Nope, wrong. 

Should be increased so I can obliterate the flying hack from a even greater distance, like say base to base, now that would put those legal hacks in their place.

Also I think that tesla should shoot 2 balls at a time with a separating angle of say 15 degrees. You should also have the ability to speed up the balls and slow them down whenever you want.

Now that's what I call a counter to the flying monkey.

If you don't mind devs, ASAP on my idea. Ta in advance.

Just make Isi's Broadband emmitterss for Tesla. With this you'll obtain them without lightning balls)

no im saying 

like in capture flag starting from his.base he jumps with out any stunning or heat up 

then he stays in the air until he reaches to my base snatches the flag then jumps again until he reaches his base 

basically he drives in air then takes the flag 

drives back on to air all the way to his flag 

what's annoyed me was the battle ended quick 

I was going to report to tanki but I was kind of lazy to do that

sorry 

but it is something else 

[artc 1,119]

Hey @Iron_Man, heres an idea, you could have it were for every ball u use to shoot at a target, the damage lessons. Im guessin these exact numbers arnt the best, but its an idea. 

for 1 ball: 5%

for 2 balls: 10%

for 3 balls: 18%

for 4 balls: 28%

for 5+ balls: 43%

@karm_fate I don't think Rico needs any buffs. A few years ago it already got massively buffed when it's energy reserve (i.e. magazine) was increased from something like 11 shots up to 29 shots. This alone encouraged Rico users to use the ricochet ability more often, since they were no longer heavily constrained by a very limited amount of shots. However, I do like the idea of encouraging use of ricochets even more with things like increased damage or impact force from bounced shots.

You forgot to mention Rico AP, which is an augment found in Ultra containers. It rewards players for bouncing their shots by applying the AP effect to enemies if they're hit with a bounced shot.

Yep, everyone forgets about Super Smart Minus-Field. Either they don't know about the Augment, or trying to secretly request for a random unnecessary buff. Kinda like how Shaft gets buffed for no reason.

Also, I think AP Rico needs to be buffed. It is a single-target weapon with a very limiting factor of bounce shots only, and pretty slow projectiles. It applies the Armor-Piercing Status Effect for 2 seconds which is enough time for 1 or two shots. Comparing this Augment to something like Magnum's Armor-Piercing Core or Gauss's Armor-Piercing Salvo, hard-hitting Turrets which applies the effect for 5-7 seconds. They also do splash damage which is already times better than what AP Rico can do. 

I suggest just making AP Effect from AP Rico last longer. Maybe 5 seconds like Gauss. When I play Ricochet with this Augment, I normally just shoot straight at them, and more than half the time, the stupid wall textures in Tanki are not flat, or there isn't a wall at all making this Augment pretty crap compared to the other Ricochet Augments.

[Hugoslav 162]

As a frequent Rico player, I must agree with Maf on this, I think Ricochet Augments are one of the fewer augments, that are very balanced and very well made. 
Seeing your other comment suggesting to buff AP Rico, I disagree with that, I only play that augment and I must say that it is a masterpiece when it comes to balance. I would change nothing with that.

Well, balance nowadays is a very controversial word. One can say that the norm in present day Tanki are Status Effect Augments to support the team. Things have been power-crept, and it is now obvious that the majority of weapons in the game set the NEW standard. Also known as, the balance. Ricochet's AP may seem balanced to you because of how long you have played it, or you are not willing to accept Tanki's changing standards, but to the majority, it is very underwhelming. The Plasma Torch Augment, which was once considered the weakest Ricochet Augment, only being useful in parkour, has had its fair share of "balance changes" and has met its standards with current meta. AP Rico. Untouched, outdated. Just like Thunder. 

I used to love Thunder, but as more Status Effect Augments swept in. It became normal to use Drones and have some sort of weapon that can inflict high damage, consistent pressure, or Status Effects.

Thunder does not have any of that. It is still, I guess, viable? But you can probably use something better. Is Thunder balanced because it sucks? I don't know. 

Just stating what I thought. Unless I made some sort of grammatical error, I am no longer responding to this topic.

just git gud

I think it's actually quite balanced, and even OP in some situations. I have a video where I camped in the tunnel on Silence, and just farmed kills by shooting into the tunnel with AP rico. The shots were impossible to dodge, and every shot applied AP, making it easy to kill them before they reached me. On most other maps there's also plenty of surfaces which you can use to bounce shots, so with enough skill you can keep shooting enemies via a wall, and keep them AP'd the whole time. Combined with the fact that the augment has no drawbacks, this makes it, in my opinion, one of the most powerful status effect augments currently in the game.

I'm pretty sure Thunder will get its own special augments soon, as well as all other turrets, like Twins and Vulcan.

I guess you are right, I agree with the Thunder part, it has changed to the state where its now not very used.

@Maf Yeah, Thunder will most likely get its augments, however it will certainly take a decent amount of time, considering they somehow tend to upgrade Mammoth/Titan's skins atm, which I myself find not understandable.

This is broken if the damage increase is on the sniping shot.
