BATTLEFIELD 2042: How to Play the EMKV90-TOR Railgun Tank in Season 7

Рет қаралды 7,386

Күн бұрын

The Railgun TOR (EMKV90-TOR) has had a lot of changes since Season 6 and Season 7 of Battlefield 2042 (bf2042), particularly to how its Anti-Air mechanics function and the introduction of the Canister Shot for its primary and secondary gunner. I've noticed that many players haven't quite grasped these mechanics so I decided to make this video to help.
The TOR is best played as a fast-paced high speed assassin always moving around the map, pushing enemy armour and objectives alike. Priorities should be to look for weaker vehicles such as the Wildcat and CAV, plus dealing with Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). Shots at aircraft should be prioritised for those within the maximum one-shot kill range and below a barrel elevation of 6 degrees to avoid the more aggressive AA mechanics kicking in.
The TOR is far from unbeatable though, having multiple weaknesses which I will run through. The EMP Grenade, poor ammo management and the RAM / another TOR are chief amongst them, though shooting pot-shots from across the map and getting the Attack Heli's attention is equally a bad idea!
Now that BF2042 is going into its final phase, it's unlikely the TOR will be materially changed from this point on. For those picking up the game on sale / joining late, I hope this helps you to get familiar with the vehicle.

I was gunner in a TOR yesterday that had the 20MM cannister shot in the gunner seat. That is the easiest weapon to shoot down Lis missiles with, they were flying at us at every angle and I was just blowing them away with ease, not one reached the vehicle. That's probably one of the the best secondary weapons in the game.

Thanks Dan much appreciated - it’s not gone down well with people so far but it’s my view and I’m sticking with it! I recall well the last time I did a TOR video it was… polarising! Hope all is well, take care.

Yet another fantastic analysis. I only dabbled with the TOR and I could never make heads or tails why it was so hard to get used to hitting things. Now I understand why. Thanks!

Thanks a lot - yeah I see the negativity I’ve no time for it. If people are that upset about it stop playing, it’s not a big deal. Even better, raise some investment, go start your own studio and show us how it’s done. I’d respect that a lot more.

I had no idea about those AA medhanics, that will be really good to know koving forward. Thanks for such in depth videos! Keep it up, looking forward to more.

@timelessgamer_UK Ай бұрын

Many people don’t, but they’re some of the most complex mechanics in the game. Once you get in the habit of letting the long shots pass and only taking the aircraft which give themselves to you, your kill rate goes way up. Another reason to always be moving, creates those opportunities

@twinshockproject Ай бұрын

Good breakdown. As far as the weakness of the TOR at close range, one trick to mitigate it is to rotate the main body as you charge your shot (assuming you don't have the option to decouple the turret from the body enabled). It takes time to get the hang of it, but it allows you to make macro adjustments to your aim (at least horizontally) without having to stop charging the main cannon. The one point I disagree with is the use (or lack thereof) of Siege mode. By all means, sitting on the back of the map with it is definitely a waste of the vehicle, however there are moments where using it can make a huge difference. If you know you're about to engage another heavy armour or multiple vehicles and if you can get the jump on them, quickly enabling it will give them a much shorter window of opportunity to react. Go into it before you peek, take your shots then go back to normal mode. With all that being said, I probably still wouldn't pick the TOR over the MBT in the vast majority of situations.

@timelessgamer_UK Ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll definitely need to try the turret decoupling. Didn’t know that was possible. On siege mode yes what you’re describing could work, but being rooted in place has very rarely ever worked out well for me & speed is the best thing the TOR has going for it. Perhaps it’s just my play style, but I’d never give up the ability to run or reposition. I’d also rather take the chance to target a weak spot if I’ve not been seen yet. I do enjoy my MBT but purely personal view? The TOR made it extinct with the exception of Haven map & getting the Canister shot.

@sethswoodruff Ай бұрын

Appreciate the upload! I never knew about the speed reduction past a certain angle, that was super cool to learn about wow. Glad to see your videos improve each upload!

The AA mechanics are probably the trickiest in the game, it took me a while to get my head around it / figure out what to shoot for & what not to. Glad you found it useful & are seeing improvement in the video quality. Try my best to have footage which actually matches what I’m taking about and isn’t just Mackay shooting infantry whilst talking about changes to attack helicopters 😅

The TOR is great. I agree with not sitting in the back, but not necessarily with never using siege mode. The ROF increase is very useful.

@timelessgamer_UK Ай бұрын

Fair - but for me (and this is just my experience I could be mistaken), anchoring myself to the spot gets me in trouble than the increased ROF justifies. It also stops me pursuing a target round the corner / over the hill to just get that final tap & blow it up. Do you use siege in ground vehicle fights, or to go for air targets?

I was there right next to you, all be it a little younger :) One of the things I truly love about vehicle play in BF is that it is not about reflexes (at least not too much). Making a plan, executing and rolling with the surprises is viable. I help my team through deliberate, calm plays. Let the young guys run and gun. Keep gaming mate, I'll still be here when I'm 52 and hope to see you still at it at 63 :)
