Tank combo preview in lobby


Recommended Posts

I know the Title seems completely bizarre but I had this idea where, instead of physically having to go to your Garage and change your Combo, you could just have a list of your best combos on one side of the screen. I'm saying this because when I'm lagging, it takes forever to get in and out of the garage, this way, you can simply change your combo very quickly. For example, if playing in a large map, you may want a different combo compared to when you're in a smaller map. Another useful use for this is when a Gold drops and you need a different set of equipment.

I do agree but the computer causes the lag so maybe fix it if you can? Perhaps that would help.

I know but it lags because I'm opening the garage, if I don't need to open the garage, there probably won't be as much lag.

Would be a nice feature to see in Tanki X, though as there will be an option to lunch Tanki X from a client lags will be very rare to non-existent.

 

Even still Nice idea I would like to see in game. Maybe you can choose up to 3 best preferred guns and hulls to choose.

Good Idea.

 

But is it necessary? The only reason you want this is because you have low ping.

No, it is necessary, especially for catching Golds, this way, Tankers can play how they want to play (which equipment they want to use) and when Gold drops, they can change their combo and self destruct, this would take about 20 seconds in total, leaving 10 seconds to find the Gold, which is a minor flaw.

I think this must be there in TX.

My 3 combos would be Hornet Freeze Tundra, Viking Rico Storm and Viking Shaft Tundra. ^.^

 

Good idea. We can have a panel in the bottom left of the screen for this.

Yeah, the location is confusing, perhaps next to the 'Garage' thing app top?

Nice idea, should be in Tanki X. It is necessary not just for quick changing during gold drop but also quick changing when your team is in trouble AND your current combo is not playing well. Good idea :)

You're getting ready to go to battle, but you don't recall the last tank configuration you used or the missions you have pending.  So you go to the garage and take a look - hmm.  Configuration is okay, now check the missions.  Okay, that one has 25 speed boxes, but do I need speed boxes?  Hmm.  Leave missions, go to supplies.  Nope.  Don't need speed boxes.  Back to missions.  Change the mission.  Ah!  Double damage for a Brest mission.  Okay, back to battles.   Let's see - Brest... Brest... no Brest missions.  Maybe on the next server.  Nope, none there either.  What other missions do I have?  Back to missions.  Oh!  There's a CTF mission.  Back to battles.  Hmm.  No one on this server playing a CTF that isn't 4 ranks above mine.  I'm looking to complete my missions, not get slaughtered.  Okay, down to the next server.  AH!  There's a battle that's CTF... and finally I'm ready to play - except it's Cologne, and my rail gun is not the turret I want.  Back to the garage.  Swap out for Hammer.  That's better.  Okay, back to Cologne... ah hell!  The game ended early....

 

As you can see, you can spend a LOT of time on Tanki NOT PLAYING TANKI!

 

Solution: A mini-popup that tells you your:

 

1) Tank configuration, and,

2) Missions

 

PLUS 

 

3) A list of all games that match those missions.

 

So I might see something like:

 

Hammer M2 12/50

Wasp M2 15/50

Protection:  Hammer 12 Rail 5 Freeze 12

Paint: Desert

 

Missions:

1) CTF:  300

2) Repair Boxes: 5

3) 1st in Battle: 2

 

Matching Games

Server   Game  Ranks  Time  Slots

3  Brest CTF  3LT-Col  10:45   2

3 Island CTF  SSgt-3LT 0:45   4

4 Cologne CTF 3LT2LT  4:45

I like the idea of a popup that shows basic information about these states. However, finding the right map for missions is not that hard, quite easy if I say so myself. But overall, I like that kind of idea.

Ok, this is a small thing, but why do I need to actually go into the garage to know what turret and hull I have setup?

 

If you switch maps and equipment frequently, you can lost track of what your setup is when you start a new battle.

 

It would be cool to have an "always visible" indicator showing your setup when you are not in a battle, or just logged in to start playing.

 

Just my 2p.

 

Thanks!
