Well, considering my first two years here were spent moaning about supplies being imbalanced on another account...

Exactly, and only the critical hit can actually pose a threat. At a distance, Thunder wins. Unless RNGsus really likes you.

Anyone rich enough to own all three that wants to confirm that?

Just like swapping Hunter and Viking, I suppose.

You might be better than most of us here at the game, but that doesn't excuse you from speaking with respect for your peers. Your go-to argument seems to be a patronizing implication we're children, which funnily enough is a childish thing to do. And if you are a grown man this isn't even funny, it's sad.

Why did they give Twins splash damage anyways? To avoid using them too close to the enemy?

I dunno, I'm a Magnum/Railgun main. Check the Wiki.

50% of it's damage is reasonable for the reload, compared to Smoky's 10% for a shorter reload. The tradeoff here is that Smoky can engage at more or less any range and peck at the enemy while Thunder has to be more conservative and focus on targets in it's effective range. Also Smoky's critical hits don't have falloff, so if you can get one of those it's stronger than an average Thunder shot.

True but he's talking about the slow projectile speeds hindering it's ability to hit long range targets. Even if they're immobile like a permascoped Shaft, a salvo is way more satisfying and more often ensures the target's annihilation.

But Thunder has falloff. It's only effective at medium range like Smoky.

I should point out the rate of healing is actually less than the damage per second, but you can do more of it since it requires less energy. If you really want an Isida dead, focus fire the patient then move on to him after a minute or so.

Well, sure, post Magnum. I just meant historically it was that way. Magnum's getting nerfed anyways, right?

Blue and Red are yin and yang on Noise, Blue has a harder time making it to the objective but the return trip is faster, conversely Red has an easier time making it down to the objective but has to make a quick getaway.

You know where they might not be? DMs. They don't tend to join them without a bunch of mines to hole themselves up somewhere.

I can't wait to pack up my stuff and move games once we no longer get the freedom of choice. Oh no, nevermind, we CAN still play on our favorite maps, but we can't actually progress in doing so. My bad. .-. Who hurt you, Alterniva Platform? Why must it be this way?

Make it "Magnus heights" and I'll be happy.

I'd argue Rugby is less balanced on every map, but ASL tends to vary based on where it's played. I sort of like that, I'm of the opinion that maps should have a sort of "flow" to them that remains a constant. There's always going to be a sentry in the intel room on 2fort, just like there's always going to be Shafts on Highways.

So there's a degree of control over it? Interesting. Supplies are always welcome in my book, so I might manipulate this to stockpile some.

No no no no, it buffs the damage of teammates! Maybe I should've clarified...

Isida alt; "Overclocking nanobots" Instead of healing, it buffs the damage of teammates by 50% No healing

As a form of protest I've made a new challenge account, on this one I'm never going below fifty degrees and doing what the developers intended Magnum to do; Soften heavy hulls up without directly engaging the enemy. Wish me luck! http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/Magnumisbalanced/

Like I was saying, balance out the healing and fighting. It shouldn't be exclusively for fighting, but much in the same vein healing too much isn't a bad thing. I'm saying only one is helpful to a team in most scenarios, but there are exceptions like when an enemy has double armor. Help the team mate kill him off, then heal him if he survives.

Yes, it kills. But it's designed for healing. The developers designed a healing turret, and put it in the game. I've never said it can't, shouldn't, or wasn't made to kill, I'm saying the DESIGNATED role is healer in team battles. As described in the Wiki, the general consensus of most people myself included, and the developers who put it in the game. If you want to run around a battle killing everything in sight, by god, do whatever you like. But in doing so you ignore the other half of the turret. There are better turrets for killing, but because Isida's so easy at it SOOO many people just forget the other function that costs less energy and is helpful to the team (If you can understand a concept like a likeminded group of individuals working together to achieve a goal).

The way I do it is as follows; 1. Enter battle, 2. Fight my way towards the enemy drop zone, 3. Hold that area, denying the enemy the supplies while grabbing the ones I need for the mission, 4. ??????? , 5. PROFIT! Takes me about one game. I think that since I'm denying the enemy their supplies, it's at the very least an act of beneficial sabotage. And it's a personal challenge to hold that area down since they'll naturally want it back. I'm distracting, detracting, and profiting in one move.

Can confirm, bought a bunch of flashy paints with the money so I could look my best to my fellow Magnums. There's a whole hierarchy based around the looks of Magnums and who gets supplies. /s
