I have Vampire Nanobots, and it’s not as OP as you think, probably because I don’t use Defender. It’s easy to out-DPS a Vampire Nanobots’ self-heal (143 HP per tick at Mk8 with a maxed drone. That’s not great.) When I fight against most turrets it only slows down the inevitable and winning an encounter relies on what hull is being used by the other person. For example, I’m more likely to win against light hulls. But that’s the case for every turret. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I also find myself quickly running out of juice and everyone knows that you only heal yourself when you’re actively attacking, so I’m stuck healing maybe 280-ish health at a time, with long breaks in between. Melee turrets can out DPS that with ease and other turrets easily exceed that number with one hit. Not to mention that Isida as a whole has its own drawbacks. It’s hit-registration is very finicky unless you have EXCELLENT ping. I don’t, as on average my ping is around 100-110. As a result I miss a lot of tanks that I SHOULD have latched on to.

But then he'll talk nonstop about how B0-NK will be added to the Garage soon. I'd say that that's worse than him talking about Tesla, because B0-NK was only for the event mode and hasn't been acknowledged at all since Arms Race ended.

If you look at the kill feed, you'll see that they're two different shots, albeit shots that were really close together.

Ranked up to Legend 27 yesterday. That reminds me of a certain meme from way back in 2016... ?

I already have all of the augments (except for Crusader: Cold Immunity, but I don't use Crusader), but I'll be getting this BP because both paints are really good. It also helps that they brought the requirement to complete the Challenge back down to 3000 Stars.

I ended up buying the Developers paint, partly because I thought they would win and partly because I think it looks better than the orange paint. Sucks that they lost though.

Will the paints stay in the Garage forever, or will they eventually get removed like the Tankisport paints?

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems to be in the devs’ favor. Some of the picks were… not great: Dreadnought is a Field Marshal with Railgun Mk5, Wasp Mk1, and Hornet Mk7. EIka has Railgun Mk7, but only has 3.3 total hours with it. The_World_Is_Mine_17 has only 26 total hours with Railgun. They’re also a Juggernaut abuser so who knows whether that will translate well in the match.

When I was growing up, my family got a Wii. I played a lot of Mario Kart Wii (including the online races) and Super Mario Galaxy (At first I progressed rather slowly, but then I suddenly REALLY liked the game and I went through a lot of levels really quickly. I never finished it though, one of the boss battles was just too difficult for 10-11 year old me.) The Wii broke around 2014 which sucks. I also occasionally played some games on my Dad's phone. My favorite game was a game called Chalkboard Stunts. It was a 2D racing game where you could build your own maps and post them online for people to play. I made a lot of levels, but when I was playing it most actively, I'm pretty sure the community was already in the decline because only two of my levels made it to the Popular page (A chronological list of every map that got above a certain number of likes. I think it was 5?). It's gone from the App Store now. :sadge: Around the time the Wii broke, I got a 3DS for my birthday and I played games like Mario Kart 7, Pokemon X, and Super Smash Bros (I was only half-decent at the last one though ). I still have it and it still works, but Tanki takes the spotlight nowadays. EDIT: I just remembered that I used to play Flash games on a site called onemorelevel.com. I haven't been on it in a while and tbh I have no idea if it would even work now that Flash is ded

I think Tesla is too easy to use. Iv’e tried it a couple times in the Arms Race event mode, and you literally can just hold the space bar 24/7 and it doesn’t consume any energy. It’ll just automatically attack and damage anyone your turret is aligned with. It’s like a melee-range Twins.

Maybe the person in first place got 4 kills with a turret? (It’s happened to me before, thanks to afterburn or killing another tank right before self-destructing)

Okay, but why did you need to quote tons of people (including me)? This is getting on my nerves and I'm surprised a mod hasn't done something about this. I remember back in the day when unnecessarily quoting/quoting in ridiculously large amounts would get you banned for flood. But this was back when a ban from the forum also was a ban from the chat.

It doesn’t. In fact, you can’t shoot at all.

Brb going to become a Brutus main to own the devs epic style

You own Alternativa?

Viking CAN dominate battles by wiping out a whole team. Sure, it doesn’t end battles quickly because it’s not objective based(except for TDM and TJR) but I’d rather have a dominating item end battles quickly (Hopper/Crisis) than having to suffer for 7 minutes (Viking)

Sounds great! I found this mode fun, even if I didn’t play it very much because of the special missions. Now I’ll get to use Tesla for more than one battle lol Here’s hoping this becomes a recurring event mode. I’m not a huge fan of DM and Solo Juggernaut but Format Battles and Arms Race are great event modes.

Awesome!

Did anyone else notice that they added Arms Racing to the profiles? Looks like this is going to be a recurring event mode ?

I've been using Missile Launcher "Hunter" a lot over the past several weeks. Striker's Supercharge is really powerful and I'm on the fence as to whether it's OP or not, because since it's Striker, it still needs some skill to use well. Either way, this augment is a lot of fun to use and can lead to some great results. Here are a few: I was using Striker/Hornet for the Special Mission, and the game put me in a Year 2042 CP match. I saw a group of 4 tanks all parked around the point that's under the top platform, so I used my Overdrive, and ended up picking off the first three one by one with Supercharged rockets. The fourth guy managed to run away and ran around a couple of those metal crates. Luckily he stopped to attack someone else and I was able to finish him off with the AP effect still active. This speaks for itself. I didn't even have Supercharge active, I just happened to get a lucky rocket right when three guys on the other team were huddled together.

The experiment coincided with the last Ultra Weekend, so they didn't make a dedicated thread for it. I don't know why. I guess we were supposed to leave feedback there, which is weird because they closed it super quickly.
