I@Maf, arguably the most reasonable player in the forum. Also a great helper. @spiderman1000, talks about pokemon a wee bit too much IMO. @Sacrifice, I'm guessing he likes great humor. @Mr.Nibbles, the evil rabbit that declines my ideas simply because he didn't agree with them. @E_polypterus, guess he likes to chill and parkour. @TheCongoSpider, arguably the most reasonable non-helper. @ILiveOnTheChatBox123, the chat box is his home. @wolverine848, another sensible player. @sensei_tanker, what can I say? He's the sensei of tanki. @Adriel.RB, apparently the oldest player in the forum, also a great map maker. @Benefactor, garage wise, he's the extreme version of me. @Gauss-Hornet, another reasonable player. Anymore I missed?

Since the advent of status effect indicators on HTML5 there is little to no reason why you should be surprised when you die next to a charging Mammoth. Even on Flash without the fancy OD indicators it should be common sense to keep your distance from a Mammoth. You know what makes me furious though? I have all these decked out protections and Defender under a Titan dome with spawn protection on, and I STILL VANISH WITHOUT WARNING because of a stupid OD that can be used anytime anywhere with anything.

Thanks everyone! ?

Are you on a completely different planet, HORNET is not OP ?? you no what, i'm not even gonna rip you to pieces on this one,i'm gonna have a lie down and mull over what you have just said.im at a loss to even combat that ridiculous statement you just posted.

There once was was a tanker named @Jay He tried to be a noob for a day He got his worst combo, and while singing this song-o He wupped all the m4s away.

Vulcan needs no nerf,as always the culprit is HORNET'S overdrive which negates all protections and with magnum destroys all in it's path. If you take away the heat immunity from vulcan then its goodbye vulcan because a lot of players will just stop using it. You want a more balanced game get rid of OVERDRIVES because vulcan/magnum/rail etc are not game changers persey. its HORNET. Every battle i go into regardless of rank if there is a hornet equipped with vulcan /magnum then more often than not they top the leaderboard ,win or lose. Hornet has been a problem ever since overdrives were introduced and yet not a single nerf has been done to bring that hull into line with the other hulls,all of which do very badly when coming up against hornet with an activated overdrive especially if it's equipped with magnum. Hornet is the problem, nothing else.

A tip: don't buy OP turrets, because they will nerf them.

After the duel (which I clearly won), @ILiveOnTheChatBox123, @DieselPlatinum, and I did some parkour! It was fun. We're clearly parkour professionals. Oh, and also, 444 posts!

Challenged @F41TH to a duel. It went well.

Hornet is getting a new skin so it looks like it may go longer without a nerf.

And it's easy to outrun a Mammoth Overdrive with anything as fast or faster than a Dictator. Dictators with speed boost will slightly outrun Mammoth Overdrives with speed boost. Mammoth generally needs both speed boost and double armour activated to make use out of the Overdrive now that it is not immune to damage or knockback. Use it without double armour or bad protection modules and you will die quickly. Use it without speed boost and you're not catching anything that sees you coming unless they get stuck on a prop on the map.

@Mr.Nibbles Let's assume the abilities that Hornet's Overdrive gives the user are balanced (though they're not because every other Overdrive besides Wasp was nerfed considerably since release so relatively, it is strong). What then becomes a problem is the Hornet gaining Overdrive charge from score during the duration. Because if it goes on a killing spree or captures an objective, it significantly charges the Overdrive and will have it ready within the minute after the duration ends. You have the cycle of them jumping into the enemy base head-first, confident, because they know they can overpower their opponents with the Overdrive. They get the upper hand on newly spawned enemies because they bypass the spawn protection and with the right turret, they don't stand a chance. What more? They have the most generous Overdrive charge retention period of all the hulls. And if they fail in the use of their Overdrive, they have the 2nd fastest passive charging rate of the 7 hulls. All of these come together to give the superior Overdrive, countering others by brute force. After all the nerfs, it is no surprise that there is a surge in Hornets.

I think you answered your own question with your comment. It's all about the money now. Pony Tail Boy knows the game is going down the crapper so all he's interested in is getting the last few Rubles he can from the die hard buyers. How do you do it? Let them buy their way to God mode.

Until they hit OD you have more than a good chance. Wound them enough and they either die or hit OD too soon to save themselves. It's easier to outrun a mammoth than it is a long-range turret equipped on horet. I've been spawn-killed by the same hornet on same OD 2x in a row... on more than 1 occaision. 1-2 kills is low. Hornet-Gauss can get 2+ with one shot regularly - especially in your wasp example when targets are bunched up. Any left over after first shot die on the 2nd if they have not run.

I bet @F41TH , @ILiveOnTheChatBox123 and @yasgfgfffgf would like these

Hornet can kill all of those before they have a chance to respond. In today's TO, there is rarely a tank that is not equipped with at least one of DA or protection module. Counter to Dictator? Please... have yet to see one complaint about it being OP. Not one. it does not nee a counter... oh wait... that's Hunter - right? Dictator can't one-shot a protected Hunter - unlike what hornet can do to every other tank. My Titan has been one-shot by magnum-hornets - IN THE DOME.

I love how you just said "Sure". You sure have guts.

Thank you for those wonderful lyrics! cough how about we don't do that? cough

It is because it isn't truly overpowered, that's just a mere opinion (a popular one, but still just an opinion). Personally, I find the Mammoth Overdrive the most annoying, as you can't outrun it, but that's just simply my opinion, that doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed.

@Benefactor Teach them how to PROPERLY write songs

I got my acc back. My older password was a bit too 'obscure' so it got hacked. My new acc is moltres1000 BTW

Here's my song(for @spiderman1000) Insy winsy spider climb up the spout, Down came the mod and took the spider out. reeeeet!

PS: my acc got stolen apparently.

All those folks out there in my Poetic Chat Discord server, you guys rock! No matter how much you contribute, I wouldn't be writing like this without you! Like I said here: "The poetic chat has evolved into a new hard-core gang obsessed with poetry. They are pounding through ideas and coordinating on chats like never before. Stay tuned for future episodes. The latest look of the chat includes: Main Writers: @ILiveOnTheChatBox123 @Cyber2_O.o with full members @Person_Random and @F41TH . Potential Candidates include @Sacrifice and @Lose Remember, even though not all members contribute in every chat, the fact that they are there and keeping our server going in its other channel’s helps other poems to get published. Looking to apply? Check out episode two for details, and/or PM me. Though it won't be easy to get on with this talent-packed team." I mean it that they are hard to beat. Also my the guys who taught me parkour here: @Lose and @DieselPlatinum how you guys have such patience, skill, expertise, and courage, is beyond me. You guys are the best!

@Lose taught me parkour. Someone got me here: and after many players got up there to help me, I finally achieved this: Note those guys in the background. After falling off the next building, I learned an important fact: You need to fall off the map to seldf-destruct in parkour. Then @DieselPlatinum got a brain-storm: He however was unsuccessful. After some @donater_tanki fellow straightened me, I was afraid I would miss the building, so I quickly snapped: I did land on the building, just before I could get straightened, I got knocked off. I was so close! Here is the pic: Lose is straightening me, but someone else knocked me off meanwhile. Then I really lost me feel for zero-gravity, and asked my friends to straighten me: Then Lose did a few leaps, which I missed a few: I also figured out that magnum can cut steel! Proof: I realized it would take too long to collapse the bridge, so I asked @Lose to join me for one last pose, in my newly-discovered self-destruct fields. It did not go too well. Lose did a few more leaps, which I just barely got since it was extremely high. It looked like he could fly! To sum up my first day in parkour, it seems like fun, anyone can do it with a little practice. If you can avoid sabotaging players that is. Drop a like on @Lose's post since he got way better, amazingly stupendous pics, and @DieselPlatinum is the nicest guy at helping me with parkour. His know-how is unbelievable! If you will try parkour, you got to have friends first!

Had some fun with @Lose today. I bought Pro Battle pass in ages. Yes, I know it's free in HTML5...

?

What bribe... ? You mean the mysterious cookie shipment to Abovo’s doorstep? Not mine....

Congrats to @Person_Random for passing his relatively short Content Helper (Proofreader) candidacy... Did you bribe Abovo?

great music and no pun intended

Funds are still disabled in clan and format battles. However, I believe you've played in a non-format battle called "XP/BP" which explains why you've received crystals.

One clarification regarding mines and Ares: On the test server, I created a parkour battle in Brest map, and soon, many joined. We parkoured for a while (I've posted an image in "Let's Discuss Ares"), but as we all know, public parkour battles can never be clean... especially if "Smart Supplies" is disabled. So the red team (enemy) Ares players captured our base, and mined the whole thing. So the moment any non-Ares teammate spawned, he got killed. But, when an Ares spawned, it did not get killed. However, when we (I'm referring to all Ares users in my team) tried going up ramps, or coming down from ramps and platforms, the front part of the hull was relatively closer to the ground. That is the only time we were affected by mines. Otherwise, the mines deal no damage to Ares, as long as it's parallel to the ground. So, to conclude, mines only deal damage to Ares, if it is not parallel to the ground directly beneath it. And the inclination must be significant (how significant, I can't say for sure). For example, if Ares is between level ground and a ramp (that is, it's just going up a ramp or coming down it), both it's ends are closer to the ground. So if there's a mine there, it will surely cause damage.

@spiderman1000 too much man

You have a short memory... You "that reminds me i need to make new post in ideas and suggestions the topic will be "no kill cap for gold events" Me: "Golds are just a bonus. Anyone complains about being killed during a gold-drop is a whiner." You "nope if you read my post its my main source of income its not a bonus. "

One may argue that hornet od excels only with turrets like Vulcan, Rail, gauss and now shaft so it really must be a problem with those turrets. But nerfing all those turrets and not the od is stupid. Its becoz of this od this problems there SO GUESS WHAT? HORNETS GETTING A NERF WHETHER ANY OF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. ARGUMENT CLOSED. FINISH. ?

I can feel why Hornet is not his friend ? Titans Doom is ignored by Hornet OD, Wasp bomb and by Mammoth damages, plus it can be removed by another friendly Titan OD and removed by Hunter. The most difficult OD to make efficient.

Or allows the original OD (which is now Dictator's) to be the same for all hulls.

Sure

Hey Mr.Nibbles should sing it. yea! If you agree, like/ comment.

Then why is Hornet OD not nerfed? It is clearly OP - but remains untouched because... it is popular.

Is the text in the black box copied from WIKI somewhere? The last part is not true - Incendiary Band works fine with Heat Immunity - even though it should not. And now it's hornet+shaft (with RFM)

Couldn't agree more with you. As a dedicated Shaft player, seeing other tankers abuse Shaft that way makes my heart bleed. You are right about Hornet too, but this is not the forum-topic to discuss that issue

#CLMN as i dont understand anything going on, but i am going to support the team which chat box is supporting.

Ares: - turning speed is the major problem - speed should be faster for a hovering system - vulcan after dying once have turning turret problem - on ramps it slides down ? , no other hull does that - do not trigger mines - even wasp has more power - magnum can not turn without Reinforced gun carriage, they should just stop with this turning with turret nonsense - shaft can turn indefinitely in both direction in sniping mode but after that turret is..
