Where is a "Ramming guide"?

(1/10) > >>

Redorio diVario:
It's also a tactic, right? I haven't found any guide to ramming on this forum but I would totally love to hear some advices about it. How to ram good, when, with what ship into what ship and with which loadout?

We can just discuss it here :). In the end someone could make a guide about it.

Here's my advice on the use of Moonshine for effective rams:

Only thing that's not explicitly stated there is that the Pyramidion is the only true ship for focusing on ramming. The reason is the huge "beak" that extends off the front of the ship. The "beak" is made of hull, and will prevent damage to other components during a ram, allowing one engineer to be fully ready to effectively repair the entire effect of the ram on your ship, while the enemy is unprepared and potentially has heavy weapon/balloon damage to deal with. The fact that the "beak" comes to a point also means that all the damage associated with the impact will be focused on the single part of the ship that you collide with, rather than possibly being spread over all of the ship components that would make contact during the ram using a different ship.

N-Sunderland:
The other thing with the Pyra is that it has a fairly high top speed and is the second-heaviest ship in the game. These two characteristics give it an immense amount of force when ramming.

Linen:
The only other basic is if you're ramming for a kill you want at least their hull armor to be down. If you're ramming for positioning you don't want your hull armor to be down. The thread posted above is great for that positioning stuff.

Ofi's 5 thought guide to ramming.

one
Why the hell am I ramming? moving gun arcs, saving a friendly, slamming someone into a wall?

two
How can I accomplish this best? light bump, or full force ram.

three
Think about the directions everyone is moving in. Bumping a guy in the ass when you're flying right behind him pretty much does nothing.

four
Don't ram for a kill just wait for a gun reload.

five
Teabag of destiny aka chute vent slam. Some of the best ramming ever is getting above someone then chute venting on their heads. It moves their gun arcs and screws up their altitude.

TIPS
Light taps are easier to recover from.
Don't rear-end people.
Booty first ramming is a viable tactic.
Don't ram when your armor is down.

Yeah I know really bad guide but it might help some people.
