One good thing about the armor-piercing status effect is that it allows Railguns to actually do something in MM battles now.

Also, interestingly, I like how my Smoky does like 500 damage per shot, while my Railgun only does around 300-700 per shot cause everyone uses Railgun Modules and Double Armor constantly. (Both are MK7 by the way).

Are you using an augment as described above?  And don't discount the impact.  it affects combat a lot, causing many missed shots (or even poor driving).

Nope. I don't own any armor-piercing equipment except Hornet Mk1....but when my teammates use it, I also benefit from the effect when its on the enemy.

Yeah, I flipped a Viking with my Smoky today lol.

And usually Smoky beats Railgun in a mid-range 1v1 battle cause Smoky users can fire right when Railgunners charge up the shot to knock off their aim.
Granted, Railgun has the superior impact force (which indeed has messed up my driving numerous times) but Smoky has much better reload so it dish out more punches before a Railgun can.

I meant LCR or Scout.  Much better than stock.  OP in some ways.

And they are the major reason you see a lot of Rail modules.  Players have a reason for using up one of only 3 slots for Rail protection.

Ohhh. I do have Large Caliber Rounds :D
It was the first thing I bought after I got Railgun M2 during Halloween 2017 lol.

I alerted you before a while about your horrible protections use

Why? I can survive longer without Falcon, Grizzly and few other (and I rarely pop my manual Double Armor).

Ok fine the real reason is I feel bad for them. I can feel exact pain if there are armies of Eagles.

On one hand I do understand why so many players use Railgun protection but on the other hand Railgun is unplayable in MM..

I agree, and let's not talk about Thunder.

 

It's pretty powerful and almost OP with sledgehammer (with DD I can usually two-shot medium hulls), but since everyone rocks 50% protection, it becomes almost useless.

____

I repeat myself, IMO Tanki would be better with max 30% protection and with 5 modules slots instead of 3.

Three slots were enough back when the only turrets used were Thunder, Ricochet and Freeze. But today? We have so many guns that three 50% modules make ourselves almost immune against certain turrets while leaving us vulnerable to all the others.

 

This makes up for a frustrating gaming experience, where we roflstomp the poor thunder player while we get annihilated by the Gauss on the other side of the map.

Not to mention that because of all of this, certain turrets HAVE to be overpowered (Railgun and Thunder w/ sledgehammer) otherwise they would become absolutely unplayable when facing protections. 

It's like a snake that eats its tail.. I don't know if I explained myself well enough...

I wish if tanki return this turret to its first weakness and ignorant - neglectinance from other players, before we see this farce!

Do tell me why there are 5 railgun users in the enemy team? You wonder why many people use 50% module against railguns.

4 of my teammates didnt have Railgun module, and 5/7 enemies used railgun module to, of which 4 of them, themselves used railgun
