Its a strategy. . if this was IRL and a lucky corner shot saved your life.. You wouldn't be complaining unless you are the person who gets shot. Though waiting for them to try to attack you and shooting a bullet into them as they pop their head out. Everyone has a fear, they just hide it. Lame isn't the word to describe corner shooting but oh well! Trust me I've died to corner shooters many times but corner shooting has saved my not too! If they are hiding you should too!

Sounds like you are annoyed that they have scored damage on you and you haven’t been able to do so in return. I know which side of that equation I’d rather be on...

I'll take a corner shooter over a clubber any day! strategy over cheating. Lobbing is a strategy too but it irritates me to no end... lol which is the reason they do it... Not to inflict major damage, to break up campers, and groups and corral them toward your knife fighters.

When you get up to where EVERYONE corner-shoots as a matter of course, you had better figure out how to do it yourself or you won't last too long. Especially if you stand in the middle of an open area, beating your chest, screaming, "WHERE IS YOUR HONOR? COME FIIIIGHT!" Seriously though, it's a HUGE part of the game... Corner-shooting is usually the first advanced tactic most folk learn. Learning firing lanes and ranges from Cover A to Firing Choke Point B is another. As your opponents get smart, you have to get smarter. Don't hate, participate! IMO, YMMV

Like I said I succeed without using the tactic and take out the reds that do try this on me. The tactic is LAME no one is here to play 「fluffernutter」ing peekaboo with robots. Yes it's not smart to run into battle guns blazing. Do what you downloaded this game for and play it not camp is all I'm saying.

That's why War Robots has so many bots with their weapons on one side. Golem, Gareth, Galahad... The list goes on. Corner shooting doesn't help a lot against splash damage, so unleash your missiles at the corner shooter. Plasma has to be precise, and won't do a lot of damage. I know. I've been in your place a number of times. Just like the 「cotton headed ninny muggins」 in BR that waits for you to almost cap that beacon before he drops his DB. It's irritating as hell, but legal.

Whats your opinion on the ff: 1.) Direct Shooting - a players shoots you in the front whether or not your in his weapon range; 2.) Indirect Shooting - a players shoots the ground/other robots causing you to take the indirect damage, i.e., splash/sepuku/ricochet/energy or kinetic bullet trajectory/mercury's gravitational damage and etc.; 3.) Homing Missiles - chases you wherever you may go - Aphids/Thermites/Vortex/hydras/spirals; 4.) Arial shooting - The use of the above mentioned system except that the shooter is in the Air; 5.) Ambush - a player waits/sneaks up on you from your rear, sides;

It's basic tactics 101. Most bots can only corner shoot with 1 weapon at a time. That's why Golem is still being used. It can corner shoot with a heavy and light at the same time. Ember/Magnum + corner shooting was one of the things that let me breeze through D1. Galahad is a beast for this reason because you can corner shoot with all 3 weapons at the same time, and if there's no corner it's got is huge shield. So, is the Galahad a coward bot because it has a shield?
The biggest weakness of corner shooting is rockets, and in particular, DB's and RDB's kick 「bum-bum」 with the tactic of shooting AT corners. Are they cowards for killing bots that can't see?
What about snipers? Who kill bots that can't shoot back? They're sitting in the open using weapons that can hit things over a 1km away. What about homing missiles? What about Aphids? What about Shocktrains? Why even play this game?

At least you can get corner shooters with splash. Missile monkeys / 「dookie」train on the other hand ...

Corner shooting is one of the most basic tactics a player should know, apparently you either refuse to use it or just have had no experience with it. I might be one of the more aggressive players here but corner shooting gives the maximum damage output and takes minimal damage in return.
Sure its great to go in with your guns blazing but not against a entire team where your bot becomes scrap metal. And just maybe if you have a beat up bot, you might get more use out of it by corner shooting.

It's an artful tactic. Annoying as hell when you're on the receiving end, but I have to admire anyone who can do it effectively anyway. Sure is better than the potato-lobber spydras and hydra fujins that skill-lessly hang back out of danger bouncing their trash off your head all game long.

Just try it on me I won't entertain you and fall into your trap I'll move on till I'm using my DB I'm funning you of course but you'll get used to corner shooters and doing so yourself. There are a bunch of really good instructional videos on YouTube. That's where I learned how to do if effectively. It's a legit tactic and very effective if done properly. If you can't get into a position to hit them then just back off and find another target. Of course keep an eye on that lurker or they'll hit you in the 「bum-bum」. If they're last bot standing on their team then guage whether the win can be obtained by leaving them be. If not you're going to need to take your chances. Assess. Do you have splash weapons(rockets)? How about Hydras or Spirals that can go wide and hit them behind cover? How about speed, is your bot faster than your opponent's? Is your armor sufficient to take their return fire? And always remember..., "Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug."

Try putting a RDB in your hangar, good for splashing around corners.

Y'all are the ones I hunt down for playing the game like a sissy. Sorry, but the message on your second picture wasn’t really appropriate for this forum, so I deleted it. Since I can see you meant it in competitive fun, especially considering the friendly and helpful tone of your follow up post, I haven’t issued you with a warning on this occasion. Keep it fun, but keep it classy
