I agree with the "No" sayers. Though I feel TO could/should make seperate "Junior" XP/BP (Format) Battles where only M1 hulls are allowed. If these lower ranked Tankers purchase a Pro Battle pass for the full amount, they also should be able to play Format Battles. That 's fair business. Besides, no better way to improve your skills than equally equipped non-drugging players who kick the s..t out of each other!

A good Dusseldorf DM XP which became even nicer because Hazel-Rah aka Opex-Rah joined the party! :) He was using a XT combo ofcourse with white paint: looks awesome! (a "bit" too expensive though...)

One problem: we wouldn 't even play anymore, just stare at it in awe in our garage...

...read: what a really great MU discount can do with your crystal stack?... ;)

quote: "We just want to see how it goes" Well Semyon, with all due respect: in my view you don 't have to be a genius... ;) ^^^^ these XT 's sure look great though! (those M3 's just wow: a combo in a beautiful ancient Egyptian style, call it "Horus")

Fortunately this sickness only lasts two weeks

Than he 'd better go to a doctor!

I 'm still ROFL :D

So much crystals for such few days. This is not even a buyers thing: it 's only for a very few big spenders. Try again next time or even better: don 't. You are already giving us great New Year celebrations and thank you for that: no need for this "glitch". (and if you want to create another Smoky XT kind of legend, than next time make it affordable for a much, much larger group like you did in the past)

You don 't play with any micro-upgrades on in a XP/BP or Format Battle. Every equipment no matter the amount of micro-upgrades is temporarily "stripped" to it 's basic stats. So micro-upgrading any equipment for the purpose of using it in a Format battle is pointless.

You have a higher account?

"If you wanna make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs" ^Besides this which is inevitable: definitely Uphill. (btw: and yep, plenty of "eggs" in our Community... :P )

Obviously not yet...another +1 :D

Hmm...ok...I guess... btw. I sended you a friend request from Smok-Ti-Thun and either you didn 't accept it or something went wrong. I will send you a new request now.

^ Congratz with your new job! :)

True, for Gold the medium hull to get is the Dictator.

Nice update! Personally I wouldn 't mind an even earlier start of the special timer, but this already a good improvement.

Even if it only happens once, it is one time too many. Plenty of the Hornet M2 's used Tundra in the former unofficial XP/BP 's, many of them knowing that it was against the (non-official at that time) paint-rules. So I don 't feel sorry at all that they can 't enter XP 's with Tundra now, but as I already wrote in my post above I don 't get it why TO doesn 't allow those Hornet M2 users to wear a 10% Railpaint like Forester. This group of players, don 't know the size, is not able to play XP/BP now because of that now obsolete 20% rule (Sandstone, Savanna) and I think that 's bad. We need as many Format players as we can get: so TO loosen up a bit! :)

Good choice! ;) ...and ofcourse: made for the Thunder.

It 's not the weight. It 's the drifting that you notice. The Hornet has this drifting too ofcourse, only a lot stronger. For example a Hunter M3 at the test-server feels a bit "unsteady" at first, but it is only a feeling and very soon you don 't even notice it anymore. The Viking doesn 't have any tendency to drift so it directly feels firm.

Totally enjoy these XP/BP DM battles! Sometimes you have a lot of "first shots" in a row, this time I had the luck to have a decent share of "seconds shots". :)

First a huge compliment for TO: the format battles are just great! One of the best updates till now. Still I believe there is some room for improvement: Really like that only M2 and M3 hulls are allowed. Having a M2 Hornet and certainly a Wasp M2 means that a Tanker already has quite a bit of experience and can compete, if skilled enough, with M3 's. Ofcourse M3 's players will normally be better because every aspect of M3 equipment is a bit faster and they have (way) more experience, but I think the more skilled M2 XP/BP players can do well. A nice possibilty for M2 XP/BP players is to gain more skills in DM XP/BP 's where you don 't annoy any M3 player: in the contrary, they do like your slower reload and speed.... That 's why M1 hulls simply can 't compete due to lack of the Tankers experience and ofcourse huge M1 equipment shortcomings compared to M2/M3 equipment in XP/BP. They would simply weaken a team too much: with the exception of again the DM XP/BP battles where you are most welcomed "cannon fodder"! A nice solution IMO might be "Junior" XP/BP battles where only M1 hulls are allowed. Certainly if Tankers buy a Pro Battle pass now, it should IMO include the possibility of fighting in Format Battles. It 's just ridiculous IMO that a lower ranked Tanker has to pay the full 5000 crystals for a pass that doesn 't give them all the possibilities we higher ranked Tankers can enjoy. TO plz. find a way to fix this inequality, that 's only fair (business...)! *********************************************** HP/Protection: Hornet M2 138.5 Wasp M2 136.0 This is already said before many times: why can 't Hornet M2 's also wear the same protective paints like the Wasp M2? The Wasp M2 has even less protection: so a big question mark on this one! Plz. apply the same paint rules on the Wasp M2 ánd the Hornet M2. Personally I don 't want Tundra (30%) to be allowed: a Hornet M2 with Tundra that picks up a DD could cause troubles for a M2 Rail. But I don 't see any problem with a Hornet M2 wearing 10% paints like Emerald, Corrosion or the cheap Forester paint. If Tanki would allow these 10% paints on the Hornet M2 it would only cost a Tanker 500 crystals for Forester and your ready to do battle! ****************************** Auto-aim Yup...I still think the effect is ridiculously strong and does have a strong negative effect on especially light hull gameplay. In a Format Battle like XP we all have the same problem, so in a way I can live with auto-aim in that case. You flip me, I flip you etc. Still you shouldn 't flip that much: flipping randomly interrupts with the skilled and balanced gameplay that a Format Battle should be in my view and I have always assumed that was TO 's view also... In regular gameplay the auto-aim is even worse! For example I had a "nice" battle this morning where the new kind of mult completely devastated our team. Equipped with a Hammer this guy was only busy with shooting his "own" team light hulls. He flipped my Hornet M2 (alt.account) completely three times so I had enough of it and I left. In a very "boiling" state, but what can you do about it? ************************ That 's about it. Let 's go XP again! ;)

Next year I will be fighting at least the whole of January with my alt. account @Smok-Ti-Thun (want to rank faster that month so I 'll get a discounted SMP pass) Let 's meet in a battle: would like to meet the "TankiIsGoingDown" guy! I bring Viking M2 (easy kill for you) - Thunder M2 and let us both take a non-protective paint. Send you already a friend request. See you in January I hope! :)

You have Railgun M0. Your Railgun 's impact force on other hulls is 2.9: which is low, so you won 't flip any hull soon. Impact force Railgun M1 is 4.6, M2 is 5.4 and M3 is 6.6 They can flip light-hulls easily now. That you can hit another hull at the upperpart is ok. Nobody is complaining about that! It is the too strong effect of the impact-force on the upper-part of light hulls that 's the problem IMO. Resulting in extreme unbalance when under fire, prancing and a lot more flipping. Look at the latest XP/BP battles on YouTube or even in this V-Log 27 itself: from 4:05 Don 't understand the reason behind this obvious Hornet and Wasp nerf, they must have been considered OP (overpowered) by the TO Devs?
