Great point, I agree completly.

We already do - Its called Parkour mode.

I like the new GB system, now with faster, more predictable drop times, it takes less time away from the actual battle itself. I also like that the new system spreads the drop zone over almost anywhere on the map as opposed to two or three specific places - This method largely discourages "Boxers", one of the four great enemys of every player, the others being "Campers" , "Druggies", and "Hackers"

Ok, first off, this is my first time writing a guide on anything like this, so don’t be surprised when you come across the 500th error. This is really just writing practice for myself so feel free to take everything with a grain of salt. Short range, even shorter history: The idea for a Shotgun themed turret was first publicly announced in 2013, Here. Though it was only mentioned briefly at the end of the article, and shed no light on its current characteristics, such as extremely limited range and three shots ‘till reload feature. There was no public announcement involving Hammer until Video Log issue 24, in which Hammer was shown, but with a different design and no name, it was released much earlier than expected, appearing in game roughly around 17/12/2014. Stats: I find Hammer’s statistics to be rather interesting, and curious in more than a few ways. For example, Hammer has one of the highest impact forces of any turret in the game, so of course its just begging to be taken out for a few Parkour stunts, (especially with the release of the new Parkour mode), however I fail to see of how this is of aid to anybody just trying to capture a flag or rack up a nice ple of points in DM/TDM, and seeing as this is really only one of two stats that Hammer really excels at, combined with its incredibly short range, I think its fair to say that Hammer is not exactly the most versatile turret in the world. Though as an added note, its loud shotgun sound combined with a big explosion, would make for a pretty neat entrance. Sooo...What do you do with it?: Good question, my short answer would be, “Ram something then punch the spacebar ‘till you've fired all your rounds” But that’s purely based off of glancing over its stats, and since this is a scientific article, we’re gonna do this the scientific way: Processes of elimination. Possible Strategy #1: Sniper: Obviously this wouldn't work, mostly just due to its range, with one of the shortest ranges in Tanki history, how on earth can you be a sniper if you can only fire at something from point blank range? In all honesty, there really is no reason to think about this any further. Possible Strategy #2: The old “Ram ‘em smash ‘em and bash ‘em”: This is by far one of the simplest strategies, basicly you simply arm yourself with a relitivly speedy hull such as hornet or wasp, and charge into the enemys midst(Barbaric war cries are optional). In many circumstances this is actually a viable plan of attack, and even if it doesn't work(And trust me, 80% of the time it doesn’t), admit it - It really is fun, fun, but stupid. So thats the end of my completely unscientific, horrible terrible no good guide(Anybody get that reference?) and even if it is terrible, I sure had fun writing it, and I hope you have fun reading it. Gentle writing critique is welcome.

Do you think it would be ok to buy both Hornet M1 AND Twins M1?(there both gonna be at 50% off)

What the heck is THAT supposed to mean?

Current hull/turret combo is Viking M1/ Ricochet M1, I have about 20,000 crystals and am NOT a buyer, I am considering buying Hornet M1 along with Viking M1, I am not considering buying any expensive paints, I am waiting for TO's birthday turret/hull sale,(50% off) so, my question is, can I buy Hornet M1 and still expect to upgrade Viking M1, Hornet M1, and Ricochet M1 consistently to there M2, and M3 stages without going broke?

wasp takes more skill, but thats not all of it, somtimes there are situations whare you just cant avoide damige, plus, no one likes hiding in a hole :lol:

Hornet is populer because people want to get flags, they want to be offensive, they want to collect drug/crystal boxes, A.KA they want to showoff, you can do that with Wasp and its faster, but it has so little armor that you really cant do very much of anything before having to re spawn, and hornet is really the only other light hull in the game.

Give it up people, Isidas nerfed, and this is coming from an Isda M1 owner.

Since the new turret/hull rebalance I think I can speak for most rico users that rico is now much, much, more then just a parker toy, the new rebalance has increasesed ricos damige significantly, however its range has decreesed only slightly, among other things rico has now nerfed railgun completly,(due to the fact that a shot to the side by rico tips railgun to the side, screwing up its chance of a 1 hit K.O) rico also has a complete advantage in the area "rio", now the most populer area in the game, making rico even more over powered. yours truly, purplepoly, proud rico M1 user.

:tank: :tank: :fire_r: :fire_l: WHY DOESENT ANY LIKE HUNTER??? :tank: :tank: :fire_r: :fire_l: ANSWER: IT SUCKS :P

I am getting Rico M1
