Noise is so unbalanced it will never get added to MM. Can't see the lower section ever having a full team.

Most players use sniping with Gauss, so no need. Rail - does not perform as you suggest. It's damage output is not affected by range at all. Magnum - as you say is artillery. So... long range. Really don't see a need for medium-long range category.

It took two years for them to "fix" hornet OD. And that "fix" spawned Status Effects. Good luck.

It's somewhat fair if you spend crystals wisely. But for a Major your GS was low. Buyers will always have a certain advantage. Unfortunately MM has very wide rank-spreads. If the rank-spreads were much tighter it would be more fair, as buyers are limited by rank on how good their equipment can be.

A GS of 2239 for a Major? Seems very low. You've ranked up once and currently have Thunder mk5 and Dictator mk5. What did you have in your garage when you entered that battle?

It's... 7 seconds. How much shorter do you envision. Should be tweaked in a different way. Lasts longer 10 seconds or 15 seconds, or ... and charges faster than current BUT ... the fire-rate is reduced by a lot and no damage multiplier for weapons without DPS (tick-related damage). Vulcan would get a damage multiplier since it really has no reload. Similar for twins. That's basically what I envisioned long before they brought out ODs. Not this Grumman Avenger GAU-8 mod for every stinking turret.

Yes - and you know that's not gonna happen (especially wasp - since they refuse to "revert"). But I'm not sure what that has to do with Hunter becoming a "support" OD. What they should do is increase the stun to 5 seconds. There's no way Rail augment should be able to stun longer than an OD - which happens way less often.

It is more specific. Not sure I like it though. Dictator already relies on team-mates in order to generate score from OD activation. Don't think we need another OD like that.

If the "four game modes from MM" leads to tighter rank-spreads in battles you have a deal. ?

This is pretty vague. "Supportive" could mean a lot of things. Since Hunter does not cause any damage to enemies one could call that "supportive" already.

I'm just not seeing the reason for the complete overhaul of Viking. For one, if you agree on the concept generally, why would you swap with Hunter? Just tweak the Viking OD parameters like someone above mentioned - more often but less lethal. I don't think I can agree that "most of them just camp at base". 1) Viking is more of an attack OD and 2) if it just "camps at base" it won't generate OD often because of the poor passive charging.

5+ minutes to charge? Slower than current Viking? 1500-3000 damage? All that waiting and might not even kill a light hull? And 10 seconds for enemies to escape? That's a completely underwhelming OD. No one would use Viking if that OD were adopted.

How is Firebird outclassed by Isida. They bumped it's critical to x3. Isida is still x1 And with stun, EMP and AP status effects, who uses HI anymore?

And with all the extra immunities to choose from, heat is hardly in the majority. Firebird can go back to compact tanks.

And of course Isida still has no critical damage multiplier. LOL.

EVERY player uses a drone now - or they might as well not play. Defender & Crisis are two of the most popular drones. So... how you figure someone that can get the exclusive augment won't have access to those two drones? Why are they OP? because in attacking, they get 50% of 1000 dmg/sec back as health. In attacking the only thing vampire loses is the critical (provides no damage boost) - which only comes into play when facing Isida protection. I'm not playing until they remove much of the crap they added. So... likely I'm I'm done. But you make it sound like I've been absent for 6 months. Not even close to the case.

So without vampirism Isida stands no chance against FireBird and Freeze? And the balance is to introduce an exotic augment?

And what about Vampire versus the shorter range turrets? Isida was NOT a weakling versus those turrets before. Now, it would be god-like.

They removed it from the game years ago because it was too OP. With same 50% vampirism as before, how is it not OP today? And don't forget it does a lot more damage than when it used to have this ability. And those equipping this augment really won't suffer a scoring penalty at all. You think they equip it so they can heal?

TO struggles enough already with a declining player base. The rank-spreads keep increasing in order to not have a very long waiting time. According to TO, players would rather have ridiculously mis-matched players than wait an extra minute to get into a battle. But I'd bet most of those supporting this position are Legends, and they are already on the top of the food chain. You add another "Play" button and this will split the player base even more. Maybe in half. So then platers will either have to wait minutes in order to play, or you will have privates vs Legends. Regular MatchMaker will fold, and only hardcore players will be left playing ranked battles. Pretty much the end of Tank Online.

This has got to be a joke, right?

So you are suggesting I'm lying? 1) I've never spent one dime on this game in my life. How is it hard to believe that I actually completed 4 Challenges in Silver in order to get the ONE hull immunity I actually wanted? 2) How does my support of F2P tankers make any sense if I buy TKs?

You just went there. Have a nice day.

Are you kidding? I had to do 4 Challenges (2 months) just to save up for Gold Tier one time. Well most players don't have all the skins, so most players are not collecting that 500 TK. It takes SIX MONTHS to save up 1500 TK in order to complete the Gold Tier to get back the 1000 TK. It's like you don't read the posts you are responding to.

Um... I paid for that by earning 100 TK for 4 Challenges and 100TK from completing missions and getting containers.
