Not just sledgehammer rounds for thunder but also compact fuel tanks for firebird, duplet or dragons breath for hammer, stable plasma or heavy plasma gun for twins, minus field stabilization or I would also consider unstable plasma for ricochet, incendiary rounds, cryo rounds, or auto cannon for smoky, incendiary bands for Vulcan, uranium for striker, round destabilization or scout for railgun, short band emitter or rapid fire mode for shaft. These are all exploits to get stars faster.

More like a lot less weight than what hunter has.

Viking gets knocked around a lot whereas hunter does not.

Was your password just that easy to guess?

So basically a magnum / Vulcan combined turret.

This is why challenges should at least get its own MM button.

Maybe auto cannon damage was buffed or just bugged, IDK. What I do know is that 420 - 85% is 63 and 650 - 85% is 97.5.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts about auto cannon alteration. I used to think it was a better version of twins till I did some calculations on it and found out that it only deal between 63 and 97.5 points of damage at m4 per normal hit. I guess I was wrong in thinking it was a better version of twins. Seems like wolverines was right that the only reason to buy this alteration was to get crits more often.

This sale isn't 50% because it isn't a big sale like tanki's birthday is.

Is this the rebalance update the devs are planning? If so this is just ridiculous. Round destabilization users will be everywhere.

372k crystals at corporal? That's nuts :O

The round destabilization outclasses the large caliber rounds in everyway. The scout alt is second only to round destabilization.

And also seems to be underrated.

I too am having trouble against a particular Rico user (one with MFS alt) in terms of impact force. There are times that the Rico user I'm targeting is much harder to deal with than it should be.

You can still enter sniping mode with it, can't you?

Why? The pro pass is only 5k at most which is relatively easy to earn back plus a lot more.

At his rank, I wouldn't.

I don't know about everyone else but the reason I don't have smoky protection is the same reason I don't have twins or Vulcan protection. And that reason is that these turrets have a fast firing rate to the point that there's no point in getting the protections. As for magnum, mortar alt is ok, but automated gunpowder loading mechanism alt is the real upgrade. Everything else I agree with.

Challenges have become the worst update in tanki's history, they make battles more unbalanced than ever before. People are using the most OP drones or alterations they can get just to get stars faster which is an exploit. In team battles they're spawn killing/ spawn camping the weaker team, which is an exploit. They're also using groups to enter battles with the most effective combos they can find, which is an exploit. Besides, these challenges only bring back overachievers as I call them temporarily and then they go back into hiding leaving the game a wreck. If you really want to grow your player base, you must first remove challenges.

Obviously it's the rapid fire mode.

Along with wolverines advice. You should also try to be aware of when the challenges are gonna start. Because that's when exploiters come out and just dominate the battles with their OP drones, alterations, etc. I've also noticed that these dominations decline after a couple weeks.

I rarely play pro battles anymore these days.

So in kunger DM I was facing this m3 Viking and hammer with duplet, who was chasing me for a little bit at the start of the encounter. All it took was one move: I jumped down an elevation just before he fired his second round and he practically dealt laughable damage. I came back up the ramp used Repair kit and fired the last two shots and got the kill.

I should've guessed that there was something just off with this so called update. You got me tanki. Well played. :ph34r:

GL man.
