Isida's range (in my opinion) is actually a welcome update, because since the last time Tanki screwed with Isida, they messed up the control system greatly. Now it's hard to even heal your own teammates -.-

...No, Rico's fire speed is set to a standard pace, since it has an energy pool (like Firebird) and not individual shots (like Smoky). The energy pool would refill twice as fast, but the fire rate would stay the same. A reload speed increase would not make Firebird deal damage twice as fast.

People who can't tell the difference between a battle and the lobby. I'd joined a 10v10 Monte Carlo CTF earlier tonight, and there were seven people chatting away and not doing anything. Freaking seven. Call them what you will... mults, ignorants, delinquents... drunks...

I'd advise you to hold your argument until you reach a bit higher level. Admittedly, I thought all my problems would magically disappear when I first got Rico (and Shaft... and Isida... and, well, that last one's kinda true), but Ricochet is far from overpowered. Sure, it's damaging and has high impact force, but it can only really take out one target at a time, while with Smoky you can pepper a whole group of tanks from long range. That's another thing -- while Smoky may deal very little damage at range, it can still knock off a Shaft or Railgun shot, saving your life or the life of one of your teammates. Ricochet's projectile can't reach too far and travels slowly. And then there's the fact that Ricochet becomes a "meh" turret after M1, while Smoky turns into the hellspawn to rule all demons at M2.

was gold?

Rico has an energy pool. A shorter reload means that it can fire at full speed for twice as long, but wouldn't actually increase its rate of fire. :3

You monster. Those statements are supposed to be the players' thoughts, not what they say in the chat. XD

I get mildly upset when both the enemy team and my own team seem to try to make me frustrated. Enemy -- "Oh look, I just killed AlphaNinjaGirl. Time to suck terribly to make her feel like she was owned by a noob." Teammate -- "Gonna kill him... gonna kill him... gonna kill-oh... he's attacking AlphaNinjaGirl? Well crap, I gotta wait until he's done." Enemy -- "Forget about the guy capturing our flag, let's all attack AlphaNinjaGirl! She's CLEARLY a more important target!" Teammate -- "I know I'm constantly spamming Repair Kit drugs, but I'm still mad that she hasn't healed me in a while..." Enemy -- "Alright, just cruising around... not much going o-HOLY BANANAS, THERE SHE IS! USE ALL THE DRUGS!" Teammate -- "Better grab that Repair supply... it's not like we have an Isida on our team who needs it." (I know most of these are asinine, but it seems like it sometimes. XD)

Doubtful. I've been playing since 2013, and the maps that were popular back then are still popular. Most of them, anyway... like I said, I miss Berlin, Lost Temple, and Chernobyl the most.

Alright, fine. How about Smoky? Rapid-fire Smoky isn't a good idea.

This supply has been requested quite a bit, and I don't think it'd merge with Twins very well. Since Twins already has a really fast fire rate, would it double the fire rate with this supply? If so, that'd not only lag the game a lot, but also be immensely overpowered, since it'd be dealing not only 2x damage, but also 2x impact force.

Hm... With the new ability to buy gold boxes, I've actually considered doing so, and showering the arena with goldboxes just for fun. XD

Wow... I'm actually shocked that they changed the original post of this topic. The OP was actually quite heavily against drugs, so either someone's had an opinion change (unlikely), or Tanki forced a change. Either way, that's a load of bull.

Good luck finding a Monte Carlo match at my rank, much less a DM...

I get mad when my team starts multing and we're already losing. That's just frustrating. XD Can we all just agree that mults can suck a cherry lollipop and get on with it?

Ehhhh... I don't think so. It'd make flag captures way too easy, disrupt gameplay, and (I imagine) lag the game A LOT... If there was something that disabled one or two tanks... that would be more balanced, but not ALL tanks in a radius.

Not for an Isida/Firebird main. XD I mean... yeah, playing Isida on Monte Carlo is thrilling, but it also makes you a massive target. Plus I run out of Speed Boosts faster than a drugger does logical arguments. :P

I say bull. Nerf the insane impact force for Vulcan M2-M4. I'm tired of being spun around like a pinwheel by someone at super long range...

That happens a lot, not just with Isidas, but with all other turrets, simply due to server lag. Either refresh your page, or just self-destruct once, and it'll reset. :3

People say Isida is OP because it's a healing turret, and since Repair boxes are rather rare, it can be super useful to a team trying to make an offensive push. So it's powerful in that regard, but because the player who's using it is giving up a lot (range, damage, control), I think it's only fair for it to be useful. Now, if you throw drugs into the mix, then yes, it's overpowered. My question to you then would be this... which turret with drugs ISN'T overpowered? ^ Exactly. The supplies are overpowered, not the turret. In my opinion, anyway. ;)

I know, right? I used to love playing on Berlin, Lost Temple, and Chernobyl... all of which are fun and dynamic maps. But they've been replaced with the massively popular Serpuhov, Kungur, and Polygon... all of which are only "meh" maps. It doesn't really make me mad, but I do miss playing on fun maps. :c What DOES make me mad is the amount of missions that I get for unused maps. "Get 300 EXP on Forest"? Yeah, that's not going to happen.

If the only reason you're using Vulcan is because it's an overpowered piece of crap, then yes, Vulcan M2 is definitely worth the upgrade. Also, suck a cherry lollipop. :P

Ahh... what do you mean by "keep up"? If I'm facing a Ricochet with an Isida/Hornet, I'm going to be taking as much damage and regaining as much health as though I were using an Isida/Viking. Like you said, the self-heal is the same for all hulls. I don't get what your problem is. ^_^ And no, Isida isn't "overpowered" because people use it with Hornet. Most people dislike Isidas because they're hard to counter. The only way to get healed on a team that doesn't have Isidas is to pick up a rather rare Repair Kit drop (or drug, but... that's another story), but if you've an Isida behind you, you've got a steady stream of health to keep you going, no matter where you are.

I actually just recently started using Hammer on an alt, and I have to say... it's a pretty mean turret. Despite the fact that damage drops off at range, it's still much longer ranged than Firebird, Freeze, or Isida, but has greater per-shot damage and impact force than Twins. Having three shots means that you'll be able to take on Vikings without having to reload, and if you have multiple opponents, you can easily knock off their aim. And when you pick up (or... God forbid, drug with) Double Damage, you turn into an absolute monster, able to mow down three small tanks with ease. I prefer playing as an Assault or Support role with Hammer/Hornet. I say Support because you can and should assist teammates with tough (or drugged) enemies. Though you're too weak and too short-ranged to go alone, if you stick with your team you can easily rack up kills. I think Hammer may replace Firebird as my second-favorite turret... Isida is still #1, because Isida is love. :wub:

I think that all garage supplies should have a limit use, say... 10 per 15 minutes. But that's just me. Oh wait... no it's not... :P
