Between the addition of XT-skins and the huge increase in cost of modules, I guess it's time to break the piggy bank and open those 22 containers I've been saving - Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Pointing out facts is not defensive - it's just, well, pointing out facts. "Viking is clearly the most versatile and useful hull in the entire game." Let me guess - you've just realized this and will soon be ditching that Hunter M2 and using your Viking M1...

Yikes. :o I don't always check before I enter a battle. From now on I will. Must be a bug.

It does have the highest DPS in the game. It's funny - Simultaneously there were threads "Buff Isida" & "Nerf Isida"... kinda like what is going on with Thunder right now.

What do you as protections when you log in first time each day? Empty? Random?

Are you saying it is not "locked in place"? Have not noticed my protections changing from my last setting...

Only thing I can see is battles - nothing else ... yeesh

#factsareforsukkas This person is just trolling... look at his/her garage. Hunter M2=84hrs, Hornet M2=66hrs, Viking M1=26hrs Must have been a hardship putting those 66 hrs into Hornet... :blink:

I end up on the teams with too many gold-hunters. It's such a treat to watch my team running around with the white star while the other team uses theirs and demolishes us. And when no gold drops - that's the icing on the cake. If OD activated itself 2 min after the star appears it would be more balanced. Alas there are too many selfish players in these TEAM battles.

From the department of redundancy department... M2 10/10... when you get to appropriate unlock rank you can buy the actual M3 for free. Only players who accrued > 12 M4 triple modules received batteries. OR if you had a lot more duplicate protections than you had non-duplicates you might qualify.

That separate hull / turret paint thing mostly looks goofy. Like mis-matched pants and sweater. :rolleyes:

Not once did I advocate it be made "significantly more powerful". A trade off in damage/re-load/etc would be fair for making it slightly more user-friendly. If that came in form of Alteration so people used to it currently can keep playing as they like that would be good too.

Why not? You get a premium for winning. If you win, you should be outscoring the losers - but alas you did not. If players on losing team are not rewarded for performance than you will have much shorter battles - < 5 min battles as everyone on losing side just exits game. You will likely get less crystals under those circumstances. How is that better? next time - work harder. :P

It has no auto-aim so yes, flat terrain helps it a lot - this is situation-specific. If team outnumbered (Thanks MM :( ) it does not perform well - again - situation specific. The battles are too fast for the slow-moving missiles at Legend ranks where all opponents have very quick tanks. It sits in my garage - was a waste of crystals. Who uses Vulcan or Isida alterations? About the same waste of crystals that Striker was...

Since I didn't use the word "role" once in my post I'm not sure what you are saying. Did ARTUR get a better score than everyone on your team - even though he was saddled with the losing team? Then he deserves a better reward. On a tangent... is the CP bug fixed? During bug issue it was easy to win the game but get crappy reward because multiple players capping a point did not get a score...

If you compare similar scores between winners and losers the winners received more funds. Which is fair. If a player on losing team outperforms everybody in the battle, they deserve the most. After all they were playing with a hand-cap.

Since there's no Battle-List how are you going to re-join if you quit? Would be random luck when many battles are ongoing.

The protection was not just a throw-in. It was a major factor in the purchase - arguably THE factor in decision to purchase. If (during time of original purchase) players had to choose between the actual paint or the protection, I'm betting the bank on protection. The paint was a throw-in. A luxury after the protections are taken care of. An M3 triple module after separation cost 250k. If Tanki did not approximate that for LGC modules of similar "value", it robbed anyone who purchased the items before separation.

So... 1) you are not a team player (even though 5 of 6 modes are Team-based) - understood. 2) you are basing everything off M2 performances. Good luck in the future.

If true that's just criminal. They paid 300k crystals (for the paint and protection) and get no value back toward conversion. I had hopes the conversion would be somewhat fair. But I was wrong. W-R-O-N-G, wrong. I retract any comments I made before the conversion.

The point is, it's a handi-cap that should not exist. The rank brackets are too wide. 7+ ranks (Legends go to infinity) difference is just silly.

Skylark B) Miss that map...

Viking is not always the most stable. Possibly at M2 - it's stats all increase a lot because of the higher unlock rank. If you played against a Hunter at M1 with all else being equal the Hunter would dominate your Viking. Hornet is used for different purposes - it seems you ignored most of what I posted before. Shaft will kill both Viking and Hornet with 1 shot. So... if carrying the flag and you need to get under cover quicker to avoid even that 1 shot, Hornet can easily be the better choice. K/D? LOL - you just invalidated your entire post.

First off - no it's not fine the way it is. There's a reason why so few people equip it in battle. It's very situation-specific so there are even fewer used with match-making. If an Alteration was added it would not even affect you - you could use the stock version if you liked it.

Seems confusing. What would the value (for conversion purposes) of a stock Africa LGC module be? My Alt account at rank Captain is in same situation. Was going to buy a triple module with Shaft protection at sale. Now I can only afford one protection. And it wont be Shaft as that rank requirement is now Major.
