ROFL I win often exactly because I drive so much better than the average player. ROFL.

In team games a team w/o a (good) Isida is at a grave disadvantage. So if that is what you mean by your poll then yes. OBut assuming both sides have an Isida or three it is team play that carries the day. It is painfully obvious there are good team and bad teams. The teams with the worse players lose lose lose. Yeah that'd be a promlem if it were actually true. I just played a game with a team that had 5 maybe 6 Isidas. We lost. Isida trains sometimes work and sometime fail just like any other tactic, This notion that two Isidas get together than it is Game Over Man is quite overblown. AS with the game I just played. The other team blasted one Isida then blasted the next The Isidas had to close the distance to do anything. That team PLAYED WELL and you will nothear any of them claiming a few Isidas are unbeatable. Just played in exactly that battle CTF on Osa and the Isidas were stomped into the dust. So much for that. "Only"? Hardly. Teamwork >> Parameters after all.

My mistake if I took your post to mean one day I gripe about Isida the next day about Magnum. No, I gripe about Magnum. And Pilgrim I've played a lot of games over a lot of years. I know the difference between one player losing and inherent design flaws. So theres' that.

I am worried the addition of 6 new OD powers will force yet another re-balance. But I see the logic in finishing the MM first. As for the turrets if Isida is indeed the #2 OP turret then all it needs is a tweak to some parameters. Up energy consumption some or nefr DPS a bit ... whatever. But for Gods' sake don't re-design the basic concept yet again. That is where Magnum is different. It does not need a parameter tweak. It needs a complete new conceptualization. This design is a failure.

No question. The "short range" Rico out-ranges the "medium-range" Smoky. SMH

Wwll in TDM a lot of time they turn into sniping matches. There is nothing to force teams to advance to grab an objective so often groups just gravitate around the spawn area and zzzzzzz. [blink] Sorry just thinking about TDM put me to sleep. In 98% of game is is in fct the Isidas who least can afford to sit still in one spot. A shaft can. A Magnum can. But an Isida needs to go where the fighting is hot, to crack into objectives, and to bolster defense of the other team's objectives. The skill a good Isida player needs in battlefiled awareness, to see the game on a level higher than my tank shoot that tank now. Not to mention the tactical skills an Isida driver needs to fight which are considerable. But yes I go agree any player can take any tank and sit in one spot. It is just a lie to say that player will thrive doing this thing.

That time is running out. Actually it ran out awhile ago. The longer they wait the more players theu will piss off. Every day more and more players buy magnums. Every day more players join the soon-to-be-pissed-off group.

Then ther is no such thing as skill in playing Tanki, in your concept of the word. I do not share that definition.

I am glad you had fun. I did not. Game after game of blowouts and camping magnums. As for the packs f Isidas no I am not theperson who complains about that. So no hypocracy detected.

P Leg, you have opened my eyes. I just wasn't looking at it the right way!

Is this snark?

What a drag. Game after game trying to complete missions only to find blowout after blowout, massive drugging non-stop regardless of situation, and of courseat least two Magnums per team. At least. (Naw.... it's SO HARD to use. BS. Just remove it from the game. This is a LOS game. ) I digress. The point being now there are two reasons to leave a game minutes after joining. There used to be one: Lopsideed score. Now there is a 2nd: Magnums everywhere. And with OD these two factors are just magnified. SMH.

Nice video thanks. That is exactly it. Amnnnd it happened to me three or four times yesterday. It is getting to be a real PITA.

Well done T-34-3m! :lol:

Either could win depending on the situation and many other factors. Driving skill is possibly the single most important sill in the game and it is never ever mentioned on this forum.

If all you do is stay at the base you throw away most of the points you could score if you play well. I do not see any Isidas doinf what you claim... this is a fantssy you created in your minds\.

I read it and I very much applaud teh creativity. Perhaps some of those ideas will filter into a devhead.

Fair enough but to claim skill is not a factor is ridiculous.

All i know is what I read from you. If you say all you do is sit at the base then I am sorry for you points or no points. You are missing the fun. As for charts those usually mean: the people play the game a shyteload of hours. [shrug]

Just so long as the devs know about it and it is on their bug kill list that mission accomplished here.

My vulcan is m2 MU10 not m4. This happened to me several times tonight. It is a real bug.

That your concept of Isida play is to sit at the base with one hand on your socks simple shows that you do not understand the role of this turret at all. I make more decision per minute of game play with an Isida than any other turret. It is not even close. That is what gaming is about... it is mental process the player who makes the most good decisions wins. Isida requires decision-making constantly.

Why would I want to do that? The way to play the turret well is to be able to keep on target despite doing violent maneuvers. I generally finish well but the goal of a team battle is for the team to win not for me to finish in any particular spot. In fact in order t play Isida with skill you have to often be willing to just get slammed ove and over in order to help a team mate. People who do not see this game as anything but my tank vs that tank over there will never "get" this point.

Was in a game last night with 3 or 4 Magnums on each side. I;ve quit at least a half-dozen games the past couple days because there's no point playing in a magnum-dominated game. The abortion of a turret should be e;liminated but we know that will not happen. So it is time to GUT this turret, a complete conceptual re-design like they did to rid Isida of vulcanism. This nonsense turret is a fiasco!

Good lord the original complaint said it is an intermittent problem. That means it happens only occasionally. You did not see it when you played Vulcan for a small time. BFD.
