Still can't two-shot a hornet. :(

Could you please tell me why the Firebird alteration doesn't increase the range, but just the "range of max damage" like Freeze's? The V-log distinctly showed a longer overall firing cone. Was it changed at the last minute? I liked the other idea better, instead of just copying Freeze's. Also, could you request that the Freeze alteration be buffed a bit? It doesn't even bring it to 840 hp/sec, which is the amount it was right after the rebalance update.

Freeze is a terrible trade-off. The damage wasn't even brought back to what it was after the big balance update.....in return for- no freezing effect? The damage buff should be 15% at least. Smoky sounds a bit OP.

It would seem to be very OP against heavy hulls, at least in theory. Get a camping striker in Noise and you can take out a lot. ;)

The old Smoky alteration REMOVES the critical hit. It makes sense that the percentages come from the mechanics, not the other way around. -100% is probably the mathematical way of saying "it doesn't exist". IMO, it would make sense, that if you combine them, you get no critical.

Perhaps it will be on the test-server tomorrow, as it is open today. You never know. ;)

I was joking/being sarcastic. ;)

I wonder if it will be on the testservers tomorrow....as it isn't today, and it would be something to see the test-server behind the main server. :P

There would be no critical hit at all. The percentages merely show the effect, not the other way around. So you would be correct, except no critical hit at all.

I understand your situation, but if they were playing battles with you before, doesn't that mean they already have had experience against M3s?

Why not "first person to buy up the WHOLE GARAGE...." All paints, modules, turrets, hulls, fully micro-upgraded. :ph34r:

It's the principle though. ;)

That's your "dream kit"? Starting humble, ain't you? :D

I'm really starting to think that the devs forgot that the self-healing is a percentage of the damage.... <_< Useless and weak alteration. Same with Freeze. It's so pathetic to see an alteration that doesn't even bump freeze up to the DPM it had a few weeks ago....AND takes away the whole freezing effect as well <_< Firebird's alteration is an exact copy of Freeze's. It doesn't increase the overall range at all, which means whoever produced those visuals in the V-log misled thousands of players. I was actually anticipating an alteration that increases the range, but turns out it just increases the "range of max damage". <_< You know what I'm talking about. What a shame...

Fire alt looks weak, did you read my earlier post on this? But yep, I agree, that Hammer alt sounds too OP (35%? Come on, 50% is better), and maybe the same with Smoky. The Firebird alt is exactly like the freeze one, and it DOESN"T INCREASE THE TOTAL RANGE, meaning the V-log visual misled us players. Freeze alt is also underpowered, and same with Isida.....but it's in my earlier post. :) : http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=344859&p=5929555

Are you a BUYER????? :wacko: :wacko: :blink: :ph34r:

It's a video game, you don't move your lazy bum in a video game. ;) Why don't you go outside and do something productive :lol:? THere's also a "Tanki Online Scavenger Hunt"..

Why do you like WO2 so much? :lol:

I didn't act anything of the sort. I merely said that if you could create a battle with your friends, that would mean they were rank Major and above, at which point they should be more than able to afford PRO passes. If they are saving up, they can make back the lost crystals sevenfold, unless they only do parkour battles. In addition, playing battles exclusively with your friends is a special occasion which calls for a special pass. Otherwise you shouldn't be playing with people that low-ranked in standard battles as they bring your team down, regardless of skill level. ;)

Good alterations! I will edit this post with more thoughts when I have the time! P.S. Freeze alt sounds a bit weak.

I use Object 704, so the only thing it has going for it is the high alpha damage. But since Tanki's hulls are on a spectrum (more hp-less speed, vice verse) a gun like that would be a bit OP.

Except for the stock Firebird, in a no-drug battle it pretty much is. :) Of course, we're talking same-modification equipment.

M2s aren't that expensive. If you don't have the patience to save up for one combo and have a pre-thought-out buying plan, then you don't have much ground to complain from. It's M4s that are the nightmare to save up for. ;) M4s are what you should be complaining about if you want to complain about prices.
