So no more Wasp tornadoes? :lol: Glad the DPS and impact is going down. Not to mention I am also glad the heating is getting changed. Overall good changes!

@siddu: They said you can write whatever, and however you want. It just has to describe the picture. That's exactly what GoldRock, DarthVaderJonGTR, and Grit27 did. However, they gave it a dose of creativity! :D Their stories with a scene colorfully describes what happened in the picture from their perspective. Here, you know how we all play Tanki Online right? There is more than one way to play it. Just like how there can be more than one way to write, and describe this picture. You can just describe it directly how you see it, oh yeah Wasp/Railgun missed, Hornet capped, yeah sure. Just like how you can play Tanki Online as a Point and Shoot game without ever learning how to turn your turret. Or you can inject some creativity in it, same way how you use skill in battle. More than one way to kill an enemy, etc. etc. Good luck if you're participating in the second contest of "Describe This in 100 Words," for Issue 31.

@Ultimate01357: Golden rule for Free-players: Only buy on 50%+ sales. Save up, and you can buy a lot on sales. Especially with the crystals you get for ranking. By the way, I agree with Kirby that you should get paints after hitting Brigadier and up. It is important to note that I said ONLY buy on 50% sales, NOT "always" buy on 50% sales. Sometimes waiting, saving, and ranking for other types of equipment is better than just getting whatever comes M3 first, got it? :P @Loackie: If you're 100% sure that that item is what you want at M3, and it unlocks at the end-game ranks like Field Marshall, Commander, and Generalissimo, then I guess it's worth it to Micro-upgrade (e.g. Dictator, Mammoth, Vulcan, etc.). If it's something that unlocks fast, like Freeze/Thunder, then no. I'm not sure about MU's effectiveness, so can't answer that. And if I were you, I'd only Micro-upgrade on sales. :P ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was wondering. . .which path shall I tread. . . A. Get M2 Vulcan B. Get M2 Vulcan and Micro-upgrade C. Get M3 Viking, my first M3 Hull. (Need to rank up, which I am close to doing). I feel like M3 Viking is the best choice. . ..Considering it'd be my first M3 Hull. . . But Machine Gun is such a FUN turret! :(

@KlngJack21: What do you mean?

@Mikuru: But giving it a slight "spread" would actually give it an advantage. Look, currently it's almost a straight line. So in order to hit the target, you must be spot on, which gives you a chance to miss at longer-range, although IMO it's still pretty easy to aim with. Giving it a slight spread is like the transition from Smoky to Thunder. The shots will still hit the target, but it will give you "options." You won't have to be that spot on to hit the target. Furthermore, it'll be literally like a "spray," enabling you to hit multiple targets all at once. An advantage, no? @CorpseCrusher: I know right?! It can be used at literally ANY range. It makes your enemies crumble to dust at close range, and liquidizes them at long range. A weapon to be feared.

@hhgb: Wouldn't spread make it stronger?

To be honest I don't like this update. Before this update, I had the time to quickly go to my Garage right after I die, so when I respawn, I already changed equipment. Now when I try to do that, I already respawned, so I have to self-destruct AGAIN. You just made it much longer to change equipment. At least 10 seconds longer. Before this update, getting in Garage was much faster, and getting out of battle just took the click of the red button on the corner. Not sure what the purpose of this was. If it was to make things faster, then objective NOT accomplished.

Personally I found Vulcan easy to aim with. . . . Not sure why everyone is saying it's tough to aim. . . . :blink: Even if the target is moving. . . The gyroscope is amazing.

@Longcat970: Doesn't really matter what you use: DP or DA. If you have a Health pack, you're good to go. :( Health kit even clears up afterburn. So the choice between DP and DA is based purely on assessing the situation. And of course getting both would be easy. Just wait under a drop-zone, and you're good. I think the reload should be slowed down. . . .The rate of fire is how it should be for a machine gun. And awesome! You're probably going to be playing with it in the absence of paints- just like with Hammer. So lets take an already overpowered turret, and make it EVEN stronger with no paints, and combine that with drugging. Well have fun being GodMode_On! :D If I ever see you in a battle, I'm definitely joining your side with my M3 Isida and hiding behind you. :ph34r:

@Longcat970: Ah true. I have a feeling that this will be even worse than Hammer. The thing is, buyers will get it to M4, and then drug like hell. With health pack, double power, literally infinite ammo, and don't even talk about teammate Freeze/Isidas, you've got something worse than GodMode_On.

@Pizzaslad: Mammoth won't save you. Trust me. It won't. Especially with all the drugging that goes around. You'll be like a Wasp at 4.0 speed. I'll stick with M3 Isida. Have fun killing me with regenerative health.

Knew GoldRock's entry was going to be up there. :D I like that word. . .Coup de grace. . .with the accent mark. And all those other words that paint such an aesthetic image in my head. And congrats to Darth. What an emotional Wasp/Railgun. :P

Why do you make us test Machine Gun M3 only? How come we can't test M0-M2? By the way I think MachineGuns, like Hammers, are overpowered. Add drugs? You are GodMode_On. Even stronger than GodMode_On. My thoughts were correct. It's a MUCH better Twins. The reason why everyone is saying it's awesome is because they have it, and are using it. They have that M3 or M4 Machine Gun with M3 or M4 Viking, and they're having the time of their life, not even realizing that this is the final product coming to real servers. And when it hits, they won't have it, instead, they'll be going against it.

I am guessing the paints for Vulcan will also be coming "soon?"

This means less people are going to use Thunder paints! (For now) Time to drug it up. :P

@wild001: He's a Generalissimo. He has the common sense on what to do, and what not to do, right? But yeah. If someone is in the process of MU'ing, I guess he can offer Mult-services to his friends. Nice.

Not sure why TO isn't adding a new kick system. We can all agree that ./Vote is USELESS. I'd hate to think that they put money, money, and more money in front of gameplay, but whatever right? So I guess sabotage is almost OK now. :lol: In fact, take a look at this guy. Two problems. Why the heck is Gold all the way at Red's base? A Red team tank got that Gold Box by the way. No surprise, right? Almost like you're giving it to them for free. Don't give to Blue Team. Another problem is a Generalissimo using M0/M0 combination. He was trying his "best" to play however. Lol! He was shooting enemy, etc. So not sure if he could be banned or not. This could be a new breakthrough in Sabotage-technology! :lol: His username: 746084

Railgun is still a pretty deadly weapon. . . Long range, big damage, don't even talk about double power. . . .

@AR12GAMING: Yes, exactly. The ./Vote command is useless. We can all agree on that. We need a real ./Kick system. But I bet that's one of the lowest priorities right now. ./facepalm

@AR12GAMING: Then that's sabotage. If it's just once or twice on accident, then whatever. He probably didn't notice and you should just tell him not to. He keeps doing it, and it's sabotage. Report that person. Better yet, we need a ./kick system.

Many people buy Hammer paints -> People start using other things instead of Hammer = Less Hammer users. Or if they still use Hammer, it'll be like a Thunder trying to go up against Emerald, or a Railgun against Prodigy. ^_^
