:lol: Or let hearts fly off the thing, like :wub: :wub: :wub:

Wait for May sale and cross your fingers we get 50%

More turrets should have animations. Rail should flow white hot after it fires then cool to orange red maroon then black during reload. Twins should Twin-recoil - badass Rico should show the spherical glow as the plasma ball travels through the throat of the turret. Freeze should literally freeze or at least turn blue during discharge, then return to normal during reload. Same for Firebird on same colors I described above for Railgun. Firebird could also have a pilot light that's always on. Thunder and Smoky should both have recoil, less than Artillery though. Shaft maybe more - a lot more Hammer could 'cock' as it's clip reloads IDK about Isida

IDK - Happy New Year Race is over two years old. A lot of the player base has turned over since then. Would be like a new event. It was a fun map/mode.

Think about this - when was the last time they nerfed supplies? :wacko:

MU sale looks good. 20% off shop items looks good too.

Not sure what is going on but my Twins does not appear to have changed, nor do I have the Stable Plasma alteration available????

Not gonna get worked up over this - I'm long over getting attached to any one piece of equipment. I've learned that lesson the hard way *cough* Viking *cough* Alterations were promising. A couple are even good (Hammer High Capacity Drum). But now alterations are little more than a means to reverse (or exacerbate!) a stock parameter change. Very disappointing. I'd like to see alterations demonstrate more out of the box thinking. I have both Twins and Rico M4. Haven't played with the new versions yet, so I can't comment on them. One concern I have with Twins is the effective damage - it used to seem like you HAD to be right next to your enemy to deal full damage. Now that's not possible? I won't miss players ramming me with Twins though. Of course, Fire and Freeze will still ram me. So... splash damage coming soon???

If an enemy lands on top of me or attempts to shove me, sure, I will flip him. In time sensitive battles like CP, it absolutely IS a tactic. One less tank, an extra 5 seconds respawn plus travel time - yeah that can change the outcome of a game and thus the distribution of some massive battle funds. If a teammate does the same, the most I'll do is crack off a quick shot, indicating my annoyance. It is NOT okay to flip teammates. .

The Viking-Hunter stat swap confounds me. If the idea was to make Hunter more popular at high ranks, they failed. Everyone is still driving their M4 Viking's... duh

You both make good and accurate points. Desperation (to win) leads to very poor decision making, especially regarding supply utilization. I also thought about another approach to Battle! implosion. (See what I did there?). The infamous Battle button. No one uses it, because we all know it will just put you in one of the half dozen or so random battles you can see below all the PRO ones. You'll most likely end up on the losing side of a battle you wouldn't have chosen anyway. I suspect Tanki is about to make those normal battles DISAPPEAR from the menu. They will still be there, but you will HAVE to click the button to enter a random one. There are countless flaws with the above, but I really think this is where the game is going.

I know, I'm like a broken record with this 'bring back the map' stuff.

Beat a vastly superior team who were drugging hard, check the destroyed counts. Only some strategic defense and focus on capping vs kills saved this one. And both teams had a mult.

Bring Back 2015 New Year Race Map and adjust slightly to mark the start of the spring Racing season.

I played more than a little bit today. Some observations: -most team battles are hopelessly one-sided. -players are showing up with bracketed prefixes, for example [NAZ]SuperTanker - I haven't followed clans closely but expect that's what those names mean -lots of Pro battles either with no time limit or ridiculously high ones. Snooze-fests. -game crashes less, but it still happens I maintain that a Crystal for score approach to battle fund distribution with a bonus for the winning team would help. Maybe not solve battle implosion but it would help. .

Would be cosmetic only - damage would have to be the same as regular ammo. :( And Freeze + Isida = Freezida :D :wub: .

Just under 8900. I don't play much. Number doesn't mean anything to me.

You must be new here

Smoky and Thunder are almost the same weapon now. Firebird and Freeze could be combined with the propellant choice becoming available throigh an alteration. Those are the easy ones. With some effort you might be able to combine Shaft and Rail but you'd maybe need more than 4 alterations?

I was around for that. The community was split between the wonderfully happy and furiously overlooked. Only update in my experience that was worse was the paint separation. Anyhoo - I think Tanki would still get their money. I actually think Tanki would get more in the long run. A LOT of players get discouraged and quit the game when faced with the brick wall that is moving from M2 to M4 without being able to play M3 first. Evening this out would be a huge player retention move.

Artillery is coming
