It is more about replacing Magnum to its rightful usage: Long range turret, as intended when first launched. With time the usage deviated to a short range turret by player. To remedy this Devs made these changes to make short range less interesting, but there is a bonus, the splash damage is increased, therefore if you were a player using primarily at long range then this update is a buff. When comparing splash damages areas, Magnum doesn't look good nor got a big boost (50% at 4 metre to 50% at 5m), but if you look at the damages of Magnum... this is a different story Magnum Мk1 Мk2 Мk3 Мk4 Мk5 Мk6 Мk7 Мk7+ Rank Available From Min damage (HP) 560.00 665.88 736.47 824.71 895.29 965.88 1 018.82 1 160.00 Max damage (HP) 1 150.00 1 358.24 1 497.06 1 670.59 1 809.41 1 948.24 2 052.35 2 330.00 It is definitely a boost.

Hornet are tough cookies, but Hornet-magnum are pests. I shoot at anything that looks like an enemy ? The stronger the better.

Magnum splash damages surface area stats changes (after Patch Update #620 - Released 17th September 2020? looking like this doesn't look like a big boost, but if you look at the damages of Magnum...

Hornet users,

Have you tried it? or are you just teasing?

Not even close, and completely unrelated! Think harder about what the guy wrote.

it does look weird :D, like smoky/isida turret on mammys ?

Not for too long another hovering hull is coming (a lightweight version) Check this part of the v-log that explained it all: Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 267 (time 1.30)

Match your turret with the hull you have, some works better on specific hulls.

If you or a very low number of people with faulty /dodgy internet experience it, then it is a visual bug. If it is very common then it is more likely to be a coding issue. Certainly it is not done on purpose, therefore in both case share it on the bug & glitch section. Like this mods can report more occurance. To better understand the issue you need to get data (crystals, xp and stars) before the end of the battle and then after the battle, then compare the difference.

What the police is doing? It is a visual bug report it in the bug section.

<= very expensive car and still dull

I did not see it, probably because it is a dull paint. ?

Emerald paint - Silver Tier 7, (370 000 worth) i can do that ? Corrosive mixture (245 000 worth)- Gold tier 18 Remote detonation of missiles (149 000 worth) - Silver Tier 33 (the cheapest again for the silver tiers) Heat Immunity (4 990 worth) - Gold tier 45 https://ru.tankiwiki.com/Челленджи

It doesn't need to be sciency, however a good story can sell better and help with the building of the mechanics. It is new mechanics for turret yes. Splash damage mechanic is available via several turrets, same principle could be applied for freeze/cold mechanics. But here slowing tank is due to the increased gravity not cold effect, therefore Cold resistance and immunity Hull Augment would not work.
