It is kinda confusing to use at first. I haven't messed aorund with it enough personally yet, but it seems to have a mechanic where it locks onto an enemy tank? Not sure just seemed that way when I used it. And very slow rotation speed. Weaknesses are definitely firebird and freeze. Strengths could be shafts, railguns, smoky, thunder.

Viking is usually slow for me.... But once it gets into the fray it is highly effective. Good enough maneuverability, good HP, but huge target for railguns. With M1 Hornet I can dodge a railgun 25% of the time. Those railgun hits are what can stop a Viking in its tracks.

I do agree with most of the changes. Railgun probably had too much impact. However, they definitely should have taken down hammer's impact as that is what most flippers use for a reason. Smoky should have stayed the same though. And to those saying that this was a bad overall update. They are a big company and as such, have a sort of politics. Also, they go with majority. If 10 people of group A want something, but 15 people of group B wants something else, unless it is unrealistic, they are going to listen to group B. More money in the masses. Also, not much discussion at this point on the bottom sentence of update. Shaft was nice IMO. Used to take forever to zoom in and by the time you did your prey had escaped thanks to your laser beam. Adding the laser beam really hurt, but this evens it out.

Can't even take flippers for a minute. I could just about report all of them for just that. One game I was in today I got flipped three time by same person who sat on the middle section on blue flag side at Rio and used hammer to flip everyone as they came to the top. Watched as 4 flag carriers in a row from our team went over as well and they got the flag all four times and the cap as well thanks to our team having great defense.

I would also be interested. And no, I am nowhere near southern Cali lol.

Maintenance is getting a little frustrating. It is the holidays and most of us only have certain times for short periods of time that we can get on to play a 15 minute game or something. But when you come online and once again there is another maintenance.... The second I have seen in the past 3 days, you get a little angered. I suggest doing maintenance on only certain servers or areas of the site at once, or just do longer maintenances every week or two. Because almost every other day there is yet again more maintenances.
