Changes in turret and hull parameters

[semyonkirov 29,038]

 

Tankers!

 

Since the last balance changes, we’ve been carefully studying equipment statistics and use, as well as player feedback. In the end, it became clear that more balance tweaks were needed. Updated turret and hull parameters are explained in full detail below.

 

Firebird

Firebird’s higher modifications were too effective at setting enemy tanks on fire, so this parameter has been decreased. Lower modifications received changes to range and damage, to compensate for the improvements to this turret’s direct rival — Freeze.

 

 

Damage is dealt every 0,25 seconds instead of 0,5

M0 damage is increased by ~14% (from 28,0 to 32,0)

M1 damage is increased by ~8% (from 37,0 to 40,2)

M2 damage is increased by ~3% (from 52,6 to 54,4)

M3 damage is increased by ~1% (from 64,2 to 64,9)

M3+ damage is the same

Heating speed is 0,1 for all modifications (used to be from 0,02 to 0,2)

M0 max range is increased by ~17% (from 17,0 to 20,0 meters)

M1 max range is increased by ~15% (from 18,2 to 21,0 meters)

M2 max range is increased by ~11% (from 20,4 to 22,8 meters)

M3 max range is increased by ~10% (from 21,9 to 24,1 meters)

M3+ max range is increased by ~8% (from 23,0 to 25,0 meters)

Max burning time is decreased by ~35% (from 31 to 20 seconds)

 

 

 

Freeze

The way the freezing effect worked before the update was not successful. With this update, Freeze now has more energy and is more effective at slowing enemies down. However, enemy tanks now take longer to freeze, and will unfreeze faster.

 

 

Damage is dealt every 0,25 seconds instead of 0,5

Amount of energy is increased by ~50% (from 6 to 9 seconds)

M0 max range is decreased by ~6% (from 16,5 to 15,4)

M1 max range is decreased by ~5% (from 17,5 to 16,5)

M2 max range is decreased by ~5% (from 18,1 to 17,1)

M3 max range is decreased by ~5% (from 19,4 to 18,4)

M3+ max range is decreased by ~4% (from 21,0 to 20,0)

Freezing speed is decreased by ~62% (from 0,4 to 0,15 points)

Freezing effect power is increased by ~57% (from 30% to 70%)

Unfreezing time is decreased by ~87% (from 31 to 4 seconds)

 

 

 

Isida

Now the turret deals damage twice as often.

 

 

Damage is dealt every 0,25 second instead of 0,5

 

 

 

Hammer

Before the update, the number of shots needed to destroy a specific heavy tank became less with each modification. This has been fixed. Heavy hulls of higher modifications are now more effective against Hammer.

 

 

M0 damage is increased by ~2% (from 45,1 to 46,4)

Vulcan

With the update, Vulcan is now quicker to start firing, but barrels take longer to stop after you finish firing. This has made the turret easier to use on maps with lots of cover.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the updated parameters in comments below.

[The.L-E-G-E-N-D 5,093]

ok

[Institute 238]

Nice the isida is better now nice update + :D

[abuzarvirk 0]

Hammer is Still OP :D yes!

[ShyamNishanthMK 189]

wow!

[austlee 56]

Quite interesting

[Papaya14 481]

Now Isida and Twins are even more powerful than ever. -_-

Good Update +1

[Dadwal_INDIAN 64]

yes

[1-Last_Ride 112]

:blink:

[deadtoyou 2,502]

Nice. :D

 

Firebird:

At least now M0-M2 are more effective than before, I enjoy that. B)

 

Freeze:

I like the added energy. I am a little doubtful at making it harder to freeze tanks and easier for them to unfreeze, but I'll have to test it in game to see how it effects gameplay for me. :)

 

Isida:

This makes Isida much more effective IMO, especially for close calls, when Isida should have killed the enemy first. :P

NOTE: This does not increase the damage. ;) ;)

 

Hammer:

Damage decrease for M2-M3....not sure if Hammer will remain my primary M3 Turret after this....will have to test in game before I make my final decision. ;)

 

Twins:

Damage increase? Awesome!

 

Ricochet:

Impact force and Damage decrease? Well, doesn't look like much... hope this will not effect my favorite Turret too much. :)

 

Smoky:

Damage, Crit Damage, and Range increase? Awesome! More OP than ever now. :wub:

 

Vulcan:

Made easier to use, with a Damage increase to boot? Hm, I am considering buying M3 when I rank up enough. ^_^

 

Thunder:

If damage is decreased, then reload time should decrease as well....

 

Shaft:

Can I one-shot Vikings of the same Modification now? :D

 

Hulls:

Medium and Heavy Hulls now have more speed, which makes Viking, Titan, and Mammoth, my favorite Hulls, even better. :D

[Tact 114]

Another Re-balance  :huh:

[fluctuation123 3,435]

seems good. 

[VIP3RR 1]

we need long time for gold !!

[ClutchCityColtsFAn 362]

so now every gun is more op, and the heavy hulls get to be faster too. how is this balance?

[wild001 786]

again, let me read first. lol

[AliceTreatPU 92]

Nice :D really nice, Rapid nice update, Nice job, Beautiful!

 

Isida is the most ping dependent turret now

And combine with server that doing lag most time

 

.....

 

Can I take my word?

[TIMI 1,080]

Hahahah

Freeze big noob now

Edited July 1, 2015 by TIMI

[ThouShallNot 963]

Why nerf thunder? thunder is allready too weak, all i have to do is ram it and kill it, too easy.

[Tact 114]

we need long time for gold !

+ 10 seconde

[sachet100 1,020]

Now My isida M3 will come in great use :D

[Rodhlann 20]

Ricochet

Ricochet’s damage has been slightly modified. Now, destroying a specific hull of the same modification takes the same number of shots. Additionally, to compensate for the turret’s recent boost to range, its impact force has been slightly decreased.

 

 

M0 damage is decreased by ~3% (from 14,1-18,4 to 14,1-17,5)

M1 damage is decreased by ~2% (from 17,2-21,8 to 17,2-21,1)

M2 damage is decreased by ~1% (from 21,5-26,5 to 21,5-26,0)

M3 damage is decreased by ~0,5% (from 28,3-33,9 to 28,3-33,7)

M3+ damage is the same

M0 impact force is decreased by ~1% (from 1,39 to 1,38)

M1 impact force is decreased by ~2% (from 1,58 to 1,55)

M3 impact force is decreased by ~3% (from 2,27 to 2,19)

M3+ impact force is decreased by ~4% (from 2,50 to 2,40)

That's ridiculous. So instead of upgrading Ricochet you've made it crap?

 

Well this sucks

[ThouShallNot 963]

That's ridiculous. So instead of upgrading Ricochet you've made it crap?

 

Well this sucks

The gun was OP, it needed a nerf, and thunder is an even easier kill now.

[Rodhlann 20]

The gun was OP, it needed a nerf, and thunder is an even easier kill now.

Every other weapon on Tanki is OP too, so now Ricochet is worse.

 

Guess now I'm switching back to Hammer

[canadarules 1,938]

-.- why you no lower railgun damage
