Come on guys, this is serious!

If it's an end-game item, why are they available to buy at WO1? Why are they available to buy at Captain?

I remember that as well but I can't remember when it was. it was long ago though.

I was supposed to rant about this weeks ago but I had a fit of laziness over the weeks to do so; but after that battle I just had, it gave me all the energy to come here and rant. We all know that there are various rank brackets that could be made with MM. Small rank brackets, medium rank brackets and large rank brackets. Legend battles usually have small rank brackets assuming almost every player on each team is a Legend. However, the distribution of Legends has been a problem. The number of Legends on your team, more often than not, determines the outcome of the battle. Tanki, what the absolute hell is this distribution? 3 Legends on one team with 7 on the other? That's a joke. But take a look at the end result of that battle. Mults and a good blowout. The three Generalissimos at the bottom equipped M0 equipment. Apparently, it is acceptable for MM to put significantly more Legends of an AMBIGUOUS number on one team than the other and call that balanced. There were so many damn Thunder shots. 3 of the 4 Thunders on the Blue team were using the Sledgehammer alteration. So many Thunder shots in so little time. Accompanied by a Mortar Magnum, two Firebirds and an Autocannon Smoky they were basically unstoppable to me and my team. There was only so much a Support Nanobot Isida could do. Even if I switched to Stock isida, I still wouldn't have killed anyone because of how many damn Thunder shots rock my damn tank. I have other screenshots of unequal distributions as well and for some of them, there are the results from the battle. Most of them were defeats. Unequal distribution of Legends in MM battles are what ruins the balance. I'll admit that a good bit of the times, it has one pr 2 non-legend players on both teams but what happens there is that the non-Legends in one team would be Generalissimos and the non-Legends on the other team would be Marshals. That's a big gap in experience and possibly equipment upgrades.

Damn. With that, you'll get 198k crystals on the spot. With my amount, I'll only get 56k on the spot. I wonder if there's anyone who's been saving them since they came out.

Come on now, this is serious. :D

That's a butt load of supplies. I wish for that many batteries. Try it without the Booster Drone. I've seen a particular Shaft player with the Rapid-Fire Mode alteration get first place in many DM battles without a drone. He doesn't get a big gap between him and 2nd place like Freeze usually gets though, the gap is usually 1-5 kills. It's nice to see that Shaft can come first in DM battles.

The picture doesn't show up. I have 21 at the moment. I'm getting new weekly missions tomorrow.

This thread is for creating alternative names for each turret that pertains to its mechanics and/or alterations. I was making parody lyrics to a song which was a rant about Firebird and Compact Tanks being too powerful and the effect it had on certain players but it had been nerfed so I don't think it'd make much sense since it's cheesy and the purpose of writing it was nullified. Been doing it since early January. After writing the first draft, I had made 3 alternate names for Firebird. I couldn't name any more. Out of boredom, I decided to make some for the other turrets. My aim was to get 3 names for each turret. These are what I came up with so far: Firebird: The Burner -----> @TheCongoSpider The Drought -----> @TheCongoSpider The Furnace -----> @TheCongoSpider Freeze: The Ice Age -----> @TheCongoSpider The Frostbite -----> @TheCongoSpider The Snowstorm (or Blizzard) -----> @TheCongoSpider The Absolute Zero -----> @TankiMafia Isida: The Surgeon -----> @TheCongoSpider The Nanobite -----> @TheCongoSpider The Neuronaut -----> @u812ic The Nanovacuum -----> @fordmustang12345 Hammer: The Drummer -----> @TheCongoSpider The Double Drum (Duplet) -----> @TheCongoSpider The Judge -----> @Given Ricochet: The Zig Zag -----> @TheCongoSpider The Bouncer -----> @TheCongoSpider The Rebounder -----> @u812ic Twins: The Dualer (Pronounced like Dueler) -----> @TheCongoSpider The Plasma Express -----> @TankiMafia Smoky: The Shock Therapist's Assistant -----> @TheCongoSpider The Tesla Coil -----> @u812ic The Gattling Pea -----> @ZloyDanuJI Thunder: The Demolition -----> @TheCongoSpider The Demoman -----> @TheCongoSpider The Clap -----> @u812ic Vulcan: The Molten Hailstorm -----> @DieselPlatinum Striker: The Sentinel -----> @TheCongoSpider The Acquisition -----> @TheCongoSpider The Warhead -----> @ZloyDanuJI The Power Plant -----> @TheCongoSpider Railgun: The Sights -----> @TheCongoSpider The Gambler -----> @TheCongoSpider Gauss: The Shock Therapist -----> @TheCongoSpider Shaft: The Laser Sights -----> @TheCongoSpider Magnum: The Physicist -----> @TheCongoSpider The Peanut Lobber ---> @Benefactor B0-NK: The Nutcracker ------> @PirateSpider What names can you guys come up with? Remember to start the name with "The". Abstract nouns/occupations are what we're mainly looking for. I added the names of the members who influenced the naming or directly named the nicknames for each turret.

Is an M1 Viking + M1 Ricochet with mad skill better than an M3 Titan + M3 Sledgehammer Thunder with 5k+ supplies and no skill?

Haha, this is honestly interesting. Got an "Earn 800 crystals in TDM mission". I didn't like that so I changed it. Got a "Finish 5 battles in TDM". Didn't like that either so I changed it. Got an "Earn 1,500 score in Assault battles". That was even worse so I changed it again. "Finish 5 battles in Assault mode". Changed it once more, "Score 2000 points in battles". I like how I change one mission and it basically gives the same mission but slightly less hard. I don't want an assault mission. When I change it, I expect to not get assault again!

I seem to be unlucky with my mines' damage. My mine, whenever I see the number on the map, would deal 1,300-1,600 on average. I would sometimes see numbers like 653 or around 800 when they have double armour enable. Somehow though, my enemies seem to get more than 2000 damage on theirs when I go ever their mines. My Hunter with practically 2,300 would get 85 - >90% of its HP taken away from a single mine, yet my mines would only take away 60-70% of their health. Few times have I visually gotten more than 1,800 damage.

Don't be alarmed. It is high because Fewer people started it and there isn't a lot of stars earned. It will not increase every day to the point where on the last day, the average would be 2,000 stars. I set a benchmark of 300 stars for myself to achieve on both of my accounts. I predict that the highest the average of any of the two factions would be is 400 so I'm doing 400 stars on each just in case.

It seems as if you copypasted this. Also, I didn't know tomorrow was May. :ph34r:

Saw this in a battle yesterday. He was the highest rank and the only Marshal in that battle. Everyone else in the battle averaged a GS of 5,000-6,800.

On the Real Servers and in the Test Server, I've played in all except the ones in yellow. For Forest...I'm not really sure. I can vaguely remember playing there in the Test Server but I'm really uncertain. Cologne, Future and Tribute seem a bit too small or compact for Juggernaut to be honest. The maps I always get for these on the real servers are Brest, Wolfenstein, Soliamsk, Yorkshire, Bridges, Osa and Massacre. The others I barely get. I don't like having to play Juggernaut on the same few maps over and over and over again.

The change to Plasma Torch was that the projectile speed was increased. It used to be slowed by 75% but now, it is slowed by 66%

I tried it in the test server. It's good only if most of the enemies don't have ricochet protection. With the buff, I'd say it's more viable now; still overpriced but viable.

Shorter, not longer. I don't think that's what the doubled temperature minute really means. Yes, Did some testing and it seems like it does just what it says. M1,2 and 3 Firebird effectively turns into M4 Firebird in terms of afterburn time. M2 Firebird's burning time is 6 seconds. With that, it would be 10 seconds (it would actually be 12 seconds being 1.2 for the hull's temperature but the highest is 1 so it effectively turns into 10 seconds of afterburn). This is already powerful. I'm still glad that they can no longer touch me for 0.5 seconds and I'll receive 10 ticks of afterburn damage.

I use it at short-mid range with high-powered shots. Back when I first started using it, I would keep the angle at 4 degrees with 100% velocity and I would be able to effectively hit anyone who was at short-mid range depending on how hard I rock my hull.

You had said that you didn't have the alteration. And from that same post, it implies that you've never used it before. Just because something appears to be like something on paper doesn't mean it's like that in practice. Why do you think players keep recommending this alteration instead of High-Calibre Rounds? Why do you think players recommend this alteration instead of Shell Stabilisation huh? It's because it works and it works too well. For all we know, the damage distribution could be positively skewed. It could be negatively skewed. All we know is what parameters change. You seem to only focus on what's written on paper. Even if it's written on paper. M4 Railgun does 800-1,600 damage. With Round Destabilisation before the nerf, you could have dealt 1-3040 damage. Look at it from a number line perspective: 800-1 = 799 which means that the minimum damage was reduced by 799 points. 3,040-1,600 = 1440 which means that the maximum damage was increased by 1440 points. It's clear that from a numbers perspective, the benefit of the alteration outweighs the drawback of the alteration by almost 2x (1.8x to be exact). What else do I even need to tell you?

They said that after a few days, it should show data.

Yup, I got the Get top 3 on the winning team x15 Weekly mission my lower account now. This account has it at 7/15 and my lower at 2/15. I would have loved to get it when I wasn't using Shaft so often. Played 3 DMs. Two of them resulted in the top 3 being all Ricochets with Minus-Field Stabilisation. I had 17% protection against them but I didn't even notice a damage decrease.

The devs have to "give an estimation" to us? Does this imply even they don't know the drop rate for gold boxes in MM battles?
