And when I enter a battle with my worst equipment, but then quickly enter garage and suit up in GS=9800 gear ... ?

You are just proving my point. A turret that's only effective in a couple modes is not a very good turret.

Well it sounds like you are doing ok regardless of what you get from UC. Hard to have empathy for your UC results....

This rarely happens. Enemies are on SB most of the time. Plus the cover and even other tanks wreck the lock-on. At the very least it needs a longer grace period.

Might allow for better single-use but the salvo is still almost useless with the speed of tanks and the cover available on most maps. Nerfing Gauss won't make striker salvo any easier to use.

Agree that striker needs... - slightly faster lock-on - longer grace period - faster missiles

Just like the coughnerfcough to hopper, recharge time in todays TO is not the impediment some say it is, else there would be way fewer vikings. With the OD supply drop and Dictators, Vikings get their OD a lot more often than people think. You can't counter the viking unless you are facing it and know it's gonna use the OD. Once that shift button is pressed even a JUG does not last long. Players don't have close to the reaction time to hide once it starts firing and you are in the fron 45-degree vision.

Ability to withstand shot impacts - Viking gets rocked like a rag doll.

LOL - no it is not. No idea why you would say this. Viking is like a flat hornet.

What is Chronos Drone? ?

There is a LOT that is wrong with the game, but I'm not understanding how Premium is/was an issue. Premium does nothing "in-battle". it does not affect the players outcome or standing in a battle. Maybe you could be more specific?

It takes a while for a tank to unfreeze. It's much longer than 0.5s before it has any speed at all.

Devs think shorter waiting times over-rides the mismatches. At the rate the game is losing players, I think they have made a mistake. Once the premiums (container rewards) on my accounts expire I think I will park my tanks for an extended period. See how much I don't miss the game.

Well, since there is no DM mode in matchmaker ... ?

Novel is decent - should replace Arhipalego. Fort knox seems a little too much like Cologne though.

Yeah, that's MatchMaker. It's pretty dumb how wide the rank-spreads are. They do this for the attention-deficit players who can't wait an extra 30 seconds or so for a decent battle.

So you have both? Holy cow! ?

I use Hunter and ricco-plasma Does a lot of damage very quickly - especially if you have zapped target with emp. Will destroy most tanks before supplies come back.

Yeah - it's weird. And boy does Hunter HD skin look uuuuugggggly. Looks like a car-customizer from the 70s made it. Can't even see my paints with all that junk on it. Where can I get a simple, plain skin that just shows my paints?

Wishful thinking based on previous updates. Generating short-term income seems to be the highest priority. After this Challenge I may just park my accounts until I see a Titan AP reward. Won't hold my breath though...

You don't do more damage with hornet OD. You just don't get any minuses due to defenses. Without it you'd probably doing 150 or even less if the targets had Defender drone on. Of course if you combine OD + DD you should do more. If that's the case maybe these targets have AP protection.

Well of course it does... all the OP items are "tempting to get". But, outside of the few very lucky, it will be mostly buyers with these augments through sheer numbers of containers.

When you thought the game could not get more stupid... WHAM! They surprise the heck out of you. ?

Wait... wut? ?

Hold on a second... Rail EMP, for the "price" of a slightly longer shot delay (1.1 sec -> 1.32 sec) gets the following... - disable supplies for 6 seconds (longer than Hunter's OD) - 40% boost to damage This is crazy! Why would anyone ever use LCR which has a harsher penalty, but does not get to disable supplies.
