For the most part, yes. I have bought the Battle Pass or Containers on very rare occasions, but I've never bought anything that gives me an advantage (Crystals, Premium, Shop Kits)

It's like pre-2014 Shaft, but without the main disadvantages of Shaft (tunnel vision and no mobility). And I'm pretty sure it has faster reload.

This ModifiKation update gave me a new least favorite turret to go against. That turret is Gauss (especially Mk7). It gets on my nerves like no other. Why? They are literally everywhere, and its charged shot does a significant amount of damage, even on my Hunter Mk6 8/10. Looks like it's time to dust off my Owl module and get some upgrades.

Bumped my Isida up from Mk4 to Mk6 and bought Support Nanobots. Love it so far! ?

Hammer has 3.5x longer range than Firebird. I don't consider Firebird OP (maybe CFT alt, but just a little) because there are so many Fox modules around. I checked the wiki and apparently Isida's range was buffed. I always remember it being even less than Firebird or Freeze at 15 meters (which is Mk1 0/10's range). Huh.

https://en.tankiforum.com/profile/587069-downgrade_wasp_mk1/ In the "Subject" box, write "Rollback my Wasp". It literally says in the original Annoucement.

I don't use Viking a lot, but if someone is driving straight into me and not getting out of the way, my mind defaults to them being a lagger.

This is what it feels like to drive Viking. There are benefits, like when turning to face an enemy while using Firebird, but 97% of the time it's ridiculous.

I highly doubt I'll buy it, but it looks great!

Never mind. Re-read the original announcement and saw that Mk2s look like M1s now.

It's been a while since one of these. I might buy some MUs for my Firebird and Hunter.

I liked this War, even if we lost. I would like these to happen more often, instead of wars like the War for Space and the Evil War. (Wars like War of Superpowers and Tank War are good too.) However, there could be some changes: Make the border color of 1-point, 3-point, and 5-point territories more obviously different. (Navy blue, blue, and slightly lighter blue was not the best color choice.) Disable defending of territories that can't be attacked by any other factions.

It's possible that they used the Mechanic drone. It can speed up Overdrive cooldowns and give bonus points.

Confusing people in MM would be the obvious choice, but I think doing PRO Battles would be great too. Imagine having the Juggernaut in Island or Duel ?

Using Dictator's Overdrive doesn't give you any experience, but it does give you battle score, which puts you higher in your team's scoreboard and in turn gives you more crystals.

I had a similar idea, so out of curiosity I decided to copy down my Ratings page every Friday onto a spreadsheet. It shows the number of hours and experience (and how much it went up from the past week) for everything on the profile: General Info (Experience, Kills, Deaths, Hours, etc.), Turrets, Hulls, Modules, Paints, Game Modes, and Supplies. Later I can post a screenshot of what the spreadsheet looks like, if you want to do the same thing. Fair warning, it's not a quick process by any means.

Not a huge issue, but there is a grammatical error. It should be "Allies/Enemies have lost/captured point X"

I always thought it was Thunder Viking.

Never mind. Got completely distracted and got a grand total of 0 stars since I posted this lol At least we keep the paints.

It looks like only accounts that have logged in after the update work on ratings.tankionline.com. Searching my username pulls up the profile, but searching accounts that haven't logged in (ex: r_(USERNAME)0 accounts) give the error Service temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

Do I still have time to get Stars? ?

I don't think they should. There's a kind of accomplishment when you finally reach M3/Mk7, which will be lost if all modifications look the same. Gear Score can be confusing, so seeing the modification level is a great indicator of how strong someone is. If people in full M0s look the same as a 9999 GS person, that's just lame.

I feel ya. I held off on getting the last 2 MUs for my Firebird and Hunter for the same reason you said, and because I wanted to save crystals. As a result, I don't have Mk7s, and instead Firebird Mk6 8/10 and Hunter Mk6 7/10.

This idea immediately came to mind because some of the new kits have very similar names.
