A lot of people seem to have trouble with the long warm up, but I enjoy Railgun way more in this form, with a shorter reload and longer warm up. 

 

That yellow bar be going down slower than it fills up at this rate. xD

Right now in 2022, I am having a very tough year. My mother died and I have so much agony and worries. Sometime next year, I will hopefully come back to play Tanki Online everyday, if that becomes possible for me. I will notify players in advance when doing so. As for the remainder of this year, I plan to play Tanki Online only once per month. That is one battle every month. I will try to do it on the 1st day of every passing month until January 1st 2023, then I will decide when to be back as an every day player like before.

Do not worry. I will be back when the time has come for me to get back to play Tanki Online.

Yes, it was a joke, too bad you did not get it.

 

I play Railgun with Scout, Death Herald, Hyperspace and EMP. I have 0 problems with it and I think it's an ok Turret. Amazing? No. Weak? Neither. 

A lot of people seem to have trouble with the long warm up, but I enjoy Railgun way more in this form, with a shorter reload and longer warm up. 

Sure, when some players stay still in the open and wait 3 years for the warm up and get evaporated, Railgun may appear weaker that it could really be. 

clueless opex-nut don't understand that rail should kill mid-hulls with 2 shots, with such idiotic timings, but he stubbornly continue to forse s-tty critical feature, thus unreliable and gambling-like

critical must be critical, like juggernaut - low chance, but huuge damage

nah he won't listen - take you absurd damage 990 and you won't kill mid hulls most of the time, screw it, im enraged again

It was pretty good (almost OP with good augment) before the critical chance nerf. Now it's not as good, but oh well just wished they increase base damage a bit more to 1000 tbh that would be awesome

It's a buff to the Stock turret. When the Stock turret reload gets changed, so does its interaction with Viking's coefficient. Smoky going from 1.4 to 1.2 seconds allowed it to have more shots with the OD. Hammer and Striker getting their firing rate buffs allowed them to get additonal shots. When Magnum got nerfed to 3 seconds at Mk7+, its number of shots went down from 14 to 9, as expected. Now it gets a reload decrease and it's still at 9. Either it is a bug or they directly tampered with it to keep it at 9. 

 

Railgun is a special case in that its firing rate depends on two paramaters instead of one. All augments take the reload/damage coefficient of the Stock turret unless stated otherwise for whatever reason (an augment that shoots fast may have a high reload coefficient so that it will shoot at a similar rate as Stock, e.g Autocannon, Helios, Duplet. An augment with decreased damage may have a higher damage coefficient so that it can have damage on par with Stock.) When you get descrepancies like this with the current Magnum, it's usually because they directly changed the reload coefficient. 

 

It was both the damage and reload times that they were altering for its augments. They tried to equalise firing rates, just as they did with Thunder last year. 

 

It works directly off of it. Ricochet and Twins' reload time is multiplied by 0.3. Every other turret sans Railgun has their reload time multiplied by 0.25. 

 

Augments can have different coefficients to Stock. An issue Thunder had was that while Sledgehammer with a -25% reload was able to shoot more shots than Stock (understandably so), SCCM with its -20% reload still shot the same as Stock because it had its own coefficient that equalised it with Stock and went unchanged for 2 years. To rectify that, they decided equalise the firing rates of all the Thunders. So SCCM stayed the same, but the oefficient for Subcalibre Rounds and Sledgehammer were increased to push it to the same number of shots as Stock. 

 

Fast forward to last week, where Stock Thunder's reload time was 2.0 seconds, SCCM's reload was -25% instead of -20%, and Sledgehammer having its reload speed buff removed. With this buff, Stock, Subcalibre and SCCM started shooting more shots due to Stock having its reload decreased and their reload coefficients with Viking's OD being unchanged. This also applied to Sledgehammer, and is why it got the shorter end of the stick with this THunder rework with Viking OD. It had a high coefficient to bring down its firing rate that was attached to a Thunder with -25% reload. It 1. no longer had this fast base reload, 2. still has the high coefficient. The end result is Sledgehammer shooting fewer shots than Stock despite having the same base reload. 

Who gives a damn about sledgehammer viking being doodoo synergy when all the other augments got trashed in every relevant department lol

I just don't like all these inconsistencies around their mechanics. One moment they care so deeply about it, and the next day they forget it exists when balancing certain (not all) turrets/augments.

i love seeing people spam comments like this with shrug emotes thinking that'll do anything. Poor guys, they're whining over the fact that their favorite turret is getting hate from people who actually enjoy a balanced game.

Sad, but glad the truth is getting some attention finally.

Another Shrug hater. It isn't spam if that's what they actually react. It's only spam if you purposefully go to someone's post new or old and reacting with them.

you've done it on my past 27 posts or something don't kid yourself 

also it's spam if you do it 3 seconds after a post without reading any of it, which you do quite often

Guy purposefully did on any of my posts soooooo. On top of that he puts the reaction under every post that disagrees with Magnum's latest buff, so if 10 people would leave a comment saying that Magnum is c-word, he'd spam every single one of them with shruggies. Imagine bothering people with a dumb emote just because you don't agree with them.

I dislike the emote, sure, but if someone's salty I'll do my best to make them even saltier

Excuse me? I do not spam reactions post like I did in the past, and yes I actually read what you say. It just so happens that I shrug at everything you say because it is always a complaint on game balance and buyers vs free to plays.

Don't accuse whenever you spam me shrugs, or just digging on random posts I made a while also just to leave one.

But it  really make a guy feel down when his/her posts keeps getting shrugs; it can seriously contribute to 'emotional damage'. I'm not trying to joke here. I've experienced it before, it doesn't feel nice. So instead of giving every post you see that disagrees with your opinion a shrug, how about quoting the post and leave a gentle comment about why you disagree? This will keep the forum friendlier and cleaner;) When I see this kind of arguments in the forum I feel sad

Looks like they still don't get it. You're right man they probably suffer from it.

 

Edit: If they want to bring it into personal issues, then there is no way to be friendly about it. Leave a shrug.

Alright, let's steer the chat back to the patch update

I'm not a fan of the new Magnum. I used to have a specific timing for Magnum, especially in parkour and jump tricks. Now it's messed up, and I don't like it. Feels like a usually fast helicopter trying to carry Santa xD in short, feels sluggish now I wish the developers will remove this change

I used to want something done about this. But now I've found a way to deal with it. I usually open my notification inbox. I look at quote first, and then the reactions of those who I think will give me a positive reaction. And after that, I usually forget that there's more notifications.

 

I also read once that a guy literally disabled his notifications because he was being flamed at I guess. Which was smart not gonna lie. But then he went out of his way to flame back. Which defeated the whole point of disabling notifs.

The ones addicted to shrugging remind me of certain Helios/Pulsar players who bully others in a 1v1 encounter, then spam “EZ” or “GG” in the chat. Toxic kids, that’s all they are.
