One more case to add to the statistics: just run away from a Polygon DM with 2 (two) vulcans over Dictators! In about 5 minutes they had already more than 25 kills The fun is destroyed! :angry:

BTW, despite those f....g Vulcans... ... I've just been appointed GENERALISSIMO!!! :lol: :D :ph34r:

OK. Just a confirmation... CP battle in Polygon. We were winning 130 -80 A vulcan came over a strong hull, probably a mammoth He started firing with NO PAUSE killing everybody and helped by an Isida hidden in the cave. In few minutes they won 170 ant 131 Every now and then the Vulcan was killed, but just the time of respawning and the massacre was on again... At the end of the game my team almost stopped playing because it was meaningless: few seconds after respawning and you were killed by him! I wonder: is this fun??? (for the Vulcan the answer is yes, of course...) Is this what the developers want?? The story is that when I see a Vulcan around... I leave! And this means that I will pay REAL money later than expected... ;) If you, TO developers, are fine with this... it's ok for me as well! :P

OK, but in any case the time of continuos firing is way too long.... you cannot escape if they target you!

Excuse me, but I have a question to ask otherwise I get mad meeting this terrible and fun spoiling weapon. Is the continuoos firing time of the vulcan now unlimited??? I see too many big tanks with this weapon firing for MINUTES, becoming red but NEVER stopping or getting destroyed by continuos firing. if the firing time is perhaps not unlimited, it's TOO LONG anyway!! I lately abandon oftenmatches when I find these tanks because they are almost unbeatable and you die many times before killing them: a waste of time and resources and no fun! Just wondering...

I have the proof that hammer is OP. I have another account where I'm sergeant or so. No protection at all and I play (rarely) with no use of drugs. Yesterday I was in highland and all "normal" turrets (thunder, railgun, shaft not in sniper mode) took at least two if not three shots to kill me, obviously with no drugs. A damned Hammer arrived and, with no drug by him, "one shot-one kill" :angry: I doubt he MU his cannon: it was a low rank and usually they don't. I'll investigate more, but Hammer is definitely a unleashed beast ruining quite a lot the pleasure of playing. Few days ago I happened to be attacked by three (3) Hammers at the same time: I simply left the game immediately! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Hammer is still OP. Not because of the power itself, that's probably been decreased, but: It's too frequently used with nuclear power: even a protecting paint is heaviy damaged by a few meters shot like that! It can fire three times in a row and most of times are widely sufficient to get rid of the opponent: no risk to be hit while waiting for the reload! If you match it with a heavy hull and a good paint well maxed... it's almost indestructible! I've seen too many battles where the Hammers, often more than one, make a strong difference. Perhaps there are paints that can protect from it, but I'm not in the mood to spend 100 euros for max upgrades because of those f....g bastards and, anyway, I'm quite sure that the result is not as good as vs. other weapon. Hammer is a too "intense" and "concentrated" weapon It must be softened a lot. My opinion

Bah! I find driving backwards very strange... and honestly almost impossible! When you drive backwards you invert the keys fror forward and backward so... it's not instinctive! ALL games I play use the standard forward and backward keys (the arrows) and if I go backwards in tanki I have to "think" which key to press in order to move in the desired direction. This makes me stuck... and an easy target! Anyway, I think that those "weird" people going backwards against their instinct :) have an advantage in stability when leaning out from edges because there's less risk to fall down!

I now play constantly with Gissimo and I notice (I also opened a thread on this) that they use drugs even more than lower ranks! This doesn't mean ALL Gissimos play with drugs, but the incidence of druggers is, according to what I see, higher than lower ranks. I read here and there in the forum that using drugs for a Gissimo is a matter of... honor and respect! :blink: Why??? Bah!

I tried several times to enetr Rio today, from different servers The bar was progressing slowly but... no way for me! :( I entered succesfully in other maps: silence, highland, serpulov.... but Rio always efused me! Is Rio on a server of its own? Or was just bad luck? Just notice that I always entered the last available place. After few minutes I receive a message: you've been removed from the battle for inactivityt!! But I couldn't go in! So, what can it be? Thank you

A good advise... thank you! :)

Don't be misled by your rank's view: don't forget that you see only the matches available at your rank in the list! I have another "noob" account (Sergeant Major) and there you have plenty of Cross (never seen at high ranks), Esplanade, Highland (no longer used by Generalissimos), Barda, and many other I used to play in the past at lower ranks. Personally I play maps because I like them, not because of the infamous question reposted from russian servers "Gold bil???" :lol: BTW, "gold" in russian is "dzolata" while "bil" means "has been" so you have a mix of English and Russian words... ;)

I changed to an almost maxed Thunder. I had also to change to Hornet, faster but weaker, with a Savanna paint, fairly good vs. railguns and ricochet... Just slightly better! :( Unfortunately I keep seeing tanks getting multiple hits from various powerful weapons and still running away with the flag! The weird thing driving me MAD is WHY they just need to hit me a couple of times or three times at the most to kill me??? (with the shield the situation is better, obviously, but also for the opponenents when they use it! ;) ) This happens regularly with: Hammer: 3 hits from mid range (3 in a row, before I can even reply a second time) Railgun: (without Savanna) 2/3 hits depending on the damage power and only one with nuclear Shaft: usaully one hit only when intercepted by the beam Thunder: 3 hits, sometimes 4 Smoky (without Savanna): with nuclear 2 o 3 hits, but in general I cannot aim when hit so I'm in his hands and he can finish the job quickly Vulcan; these Generalissimos most of time use it with nuclear so.... few seconds only to destroy me! I don't talk about Freeze and Isida that are usually indistructible since I was a Sergeant! Also Firebird is very powerful but the damage has another kind of measurement. And I refer to Viking: with the Hornet they just need almost half of the effort! I make great efforts to kill many of the opponents, surely the majority of them, WITHOUT shield: 6/7/8 hits with an almost maxed Thunder: 22 out of 25! 4/5 hits with a MAXED railgun And they kill me so easily! Are maxed paints so diffused???? We are talking of investments that can be more than 100 euros if done quickly! Are these russian players that wealthy despite all the news about their economy??? Or there are so many arabs that play TOL from their Rolls Royce while the chauffeur is driving them through the desert??? It's getting a game for rich people: I understand the developers that are doing a great job but the capitalists even here are showing off their power! :D The temper doesn't stop rising... :angry: :angry:

Perhaps you are right regarding the weapon: I'll try a Thunder almost M4 that I have in my garage... Anyway, I play CTF and using more and more money (drugs) to get the points that I used to get in lower ranks is very annoying! Bah!

I've just got promotion to Field Marshall and I always meet Generalissimos in battles..... I have a Viking railgun maxed (M4) and usually an Irbis paint with very little upgrade, providing good protection from Isida, mostly and some from Freeze I thought I could fight at a fairly good rate in the battles but: Great majority of Generalissimos use drugs, shield and nuclear Even when they don't use the shield my M4 railgun WITH nuclear power DOES NOT kill them even after 2 or three shots This happens with a wide variety of paints, so only few of them are specific for railgun If I DON'T use nuclear power I only kill few Wasps here and there and often one hit is not enough... I'm really frustrated because I see to get points for going up in the rank costs more and more money.... with no significant improvement in success! I think that these MONSTERS are wealthy people that have their paints maxed with a significant money investment! But I'm also convinced that hackers are spread at higher levels too. despite what developers say... tonight I hit TWICE a General (4 stars) Firebird with Hornet with NO shield and I was using nuclear power: still alive! ...and this, even worse, happens too many times... The temper rises.... :angry: :angry: ....
