What's with this "lemon" waepon?!

[A.z]

I didn't quite got it.
What this weapon do?!

[orbital pain]

nothing, and that the only reason for its existance

[Xap]

It's a "dud". It is completely useless.

[wildgoosespeeder]

I wonder if anyone will say that it broke up a tie...

[minmay]

Ah, not completely useless - it does 1 point of damage. This may sound stupid, but I've won because of a Lemon before. The opponent's Lemon, that is.

[wildgoosespeeder]

Whoa! Tie (not the lemon)!

[Doomedrusher]

I avoided four laser shots because I made a pit to fall into with the lemon.

Did they hit themselves with a Lemon and lose? http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/Smileys/Niffpack/x-ball2.gif

[Samail]

I really don`t see what`s so confusing about the Lemon...

But yeah, Lemon can be used to point your turret out of the dirt.

[minmay]

I avoided four laser shots because I made a pit to fall into with the lemon.

Umm...the only problem with that is the probability of someone getting four Lasers in a game. If I ever see three of a weapon in the list I consider it a fluke, and I don't think I've ever had four.
Wait, did you have a lot of weapons disabled?

[Red_Cracker]

Wow. Me and the cpu 10 were playing a just lemon game and he won 1-0.


SORRY NO PIC!

[AWP]

It's like a soccer game. Using lemons only.

EDIT: Okay, maybe not like a soccer game. I played 3 times with lemons only against lvl. 10 and it was always 0-0 (tie). Perhaps entering jump jets would make things little more exciting.

[Samail]

Or, for more randomness, use Backfires instead.


I like how this thread's title is misspelled.

[AWP]

Waepon? LOL :D

[A.z]

Yea, I was in hurry. :p
But the real question is that: Why the computer takes this weapon first?

[Doomedrusher]

It was a bad weight. It's fixed. Install the new pack again.

[AWP]

Acctualy, "bad weight" can make 2 player games more interesting. But since i am too lasy to reinstall Magic pack, i will just wait for pocket tanks 1.4 no matter how long it will take.

[sonysk84life]

i had a lemon only battle with the cpu-10 and we got a tie 1-1 :confused:

[minmay]

No, the bad weight hasn't been fixed. Even after installing the newest version, it's still bad.

[sonysk84life]

just wait for v1.4

[Red_Cracker]

Thats what i'm doing.

[sonysk84life]

lemon is the first weapon i choose:p

[TH155]

I wonder if anyone will say that it broke up a tie...

me and my sister were playing and it for the first time i have known the lemon flew with the same angle and power that i was on. the score was 1-0

(she is a bad aimer and she gets angry when i play like i usually do)

so it broke a tie but i didn't wan't it to.

[sonysk84life]

lemon rulez

[AWP]

Let's make a Lemon fan club, like i did with Tesla Coil. :)

[sonysk84life]

ok :D

[Doomedrusher]

Lemon-only match on Large Explosion size.. Try it.

[Zwaken]

The only thing better than a Lemon only match with the CPU is a Lead Ballon only match. They never hit you!

[Doomedrusher]

They like to fire at high angles. So if you are not too far away, they'll fire at 81 and hit themselves :P

[minmay]

One time, I was playing a particularily bad game against the AI; I was buried in dirt with around 270 points, they had about 500.
The CPU-10 has a Lead Balloon left.
He fires it straight up.
It falls on him, doing its 250 damage.
The AI really needs an upgrade.

[Red_Cracker]

So you won right?

[AWP]

Well, he deffinetly sound like he is not exited for winning...

[photreash]

Good post. I appriciate it

[AWP]

Good post. I appriciate it

Really? Which one?

Oh, wait... you're a spambot.

[Samail]

Saw the reported post in my inbox via iPod touch today, but was fixing (wiping) my aunt's computer and couldn't do anything. :rolleyes:

Oh, and to repeat, Lemon is a dud. (Still can't get over those many threads...

Sorry for quoting old post but I've been wondering this and didn't want to create new topic : What the hell is point of Lead Balloon? It does massive damage, but only useful if you're close to your opponent. And if you are, it'll probably hit you too, making it useless anyway, since there's no way to adjust to make it fly further.

[Samail]

Be close enough to hit without blowing yourself up. It's as simple as that.
If I see Lead Balloon with any type of tank-moving utility, I go for it.

Also glad to see a new member's question containing punctuation and real words.
Welcome.

[Unknown]

lead balloon is very useful, especialy on flats or cliff (you on the top that is)
it goes about 7/10 as far s a normal shot

[rohit_ripper]

I really disagree on this one...firing at 45 degrees and 100 power..you can get it travel more than half screen...without wind...it doesn't damage yourself


and its really good in valleys and plains..

Since this has been bumped again anyway...

*calculates*
minmay: ~270
CPU-10: ~500 - 250 = ~250

270 > 250

wait wut?

they had about 500.


!!!!!!

about 500.

0_0

u be no winrar.

[blue_moon]

OK, fine.

The AI had 512 points.

Lego my Lemon

[rohit_ripper]

are you sure its 7/10 power..??
i guess its 5/10 or so..maybe 4/10..

[Unknown]

maybe 55/100 is better?

[Death]

the lead balloon is the weapon that the computer will NEVER hit you with. I like that just for that reason, facing lvl 10s with beast mode is that much easier with a lead balloon in their inventory.

[minmay]

There are a lot of weapons the AI just plain can't use well except perhaps by chance. Sure, Lead Balloon is a particularily noticable example, but there are plenty of others; Phase Missile, Power Grid, the list goes on.

[jeff]

lemon is my friend

[rohit_ripper]

I wonder if anyone will say that it broke up a tie...

It finally did..CPU 10 and me were both 379...CPu fires lemon as last shot(don't know why?)..it goes up 60 degrees and falls on me..!!

[prateek.singla]

If only you could record it:(

[rohit_ripper]

thats why i was askin about video and photo saves in other thread....this game made me go crazy...!!

[PankyTanky]

Its a lemon,read description on blitwise:
''This weapon is a lemon. Hope you don't get it!''
Once again just a lemon.

[Communist]

Lemon - the greatest weapon ever! :D
It is so fun! I laughed a lot when I saw how much point do you get by Lemon

[Typhon33]

Its useless but it does 20 dmg.

[Samail]

False, and the question has already been answered on a deeper level than it should have been...

[ekoz]

Lol, samail. Gotta love the blindness of the masses.

However...I will say this: If you were to just download the pack, not look at the online pack info, not look at the readme, just download and install the pack, and shoot lemon, you'd be like "WTF???" too. After "WTF???" you'd probably think "ok, it has to do something better than that..." then after an aggravating 30 minutes, you'd probably come here to ask. So you can't really say that people are thickheaded - some of them just don't read descriptions. Which if they did, they'd understand it.

[roberto1243]

i use the lemon when im under dirt and don't have any thing to clear up the dirt

[ekoz]

1) ?
2) ...............
3) ????
4) Profit!

[Samail]

You're over-thinking it, ekoz.

[chato92]

WOW. A thread with everyone talking about a lemon has been going on for months. And I thought I was bored. HAHA

Ohh and maybe in the future we should try and get more fruits into the game. How about Cucumber.

[AWP]

Cucumber? FRUIT?! LOLWTF!?

[Samail]

Cucumber: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumber)
Having an enclosed seed and developing from a flower, botanically speaking, cucumbers are classified as fruits. However, much like tomatoes and squash they are usually perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables.

[ekoz]

i most certainly never thought of cucumbers as fruits.

wait, WTF are potatoes? are they vegetables? they gotta be...they don't have seeds...right?

JESUS WE NEED A FRUIT AND VEGE - TABLE.

[blue_moon]

Fruits are the plant's ovaries, essentially.

Also, all fruits are vegetables but not all vegetables are fruits.

[XRaiderV1]

I have a few weapons I disable every match, simply for the reason that even a level 1 cpu is able to nail some incredibly cheap shots with them.

I like a balanced and fun game, not one where I'm left sitting there trying to puzzle just what the hades happened.

course, I disable the regular laser, as it's useless for sniping through dirt, a useful tactic to employ when buried upside down, for example.

only the superlaser, and xray cannon can snipe through dirt, that I am aware of.

[ekoz]

Ummm...torpedo much? XD

[XRaiderV1]

sorry, he got me thinking, and i had to say it.

[AWP]

Cucumber: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumber)

I didn't see that coming. :)

[chato92]

I know right i dint know it was a fruit either i googled it before posting it because i dint know if it was a fruit or not like a tomato. After posting that a cucumber should be made into a weapon i imagined myself using a cucumber as a weapon well i imagined myself lobbing a cucumber at someones face. Pretty funny in my head. I see just about everyone have quotes with their sig i still have my ISA one. Too lazy to change it took me too long to make that gif. Just throwing it out there milk and cookies or angry squirrels (use imagination for squirrels)for weapons. A little long and slightly random mixed with crappy grammar.

[prateek.singla]

Throwing grumpy cats at strangers is way better.

[chato92]

Ohh some thing random. So to piss people off while were driving with a bunch of friends we cut people off and try to get them angry the we get next to them on red lights and laugh and point at them till they get angry. We did this twice in the past two weeks the result first we were followed home and then flipped off by a middle aged man. Then we where followed through a crowded school parking lot I left my friend kept driving the guy followed him for like 15 minutes then he lost him. Random?

[Samail]

Yes, and good way to get a rock through your windshield.
