There should be a chat channel for friends only. This would allow players to chat only with their friends. This would be different from PM, as any friends of yours could reply and post.

Most modern games that anybody plays have a matchmaking system if they are multiplayer.

Striker M1 is supposed to be more powerful than Hammer, Magnum and Vulcan (they are all warrant officer 2) and equal to Railgun. Is it? Not even close. Thunder and Twins are supposed to be a little better than Railgun or Striker M1, but they feel like M2s in comparison. Trust me - Thunder M2 is pretty bad when you don't have protection. It only takes 5 shots to kill my Mammoth M1 9/10 - and it reloads nearly as fast as M0 smoky.

It may beat it, but DPS is damage-per second - if they stood facing each other with no drugs and held space, rico would win.

It's weird. M0 thunder or Twins is trash, but M1 or higher is unbeatable. M0 Striker is a beast, anything else is trash. Can somebody shed some light on this?

Railgun?

I have an idea that should stop the juggernaut dying so quickly - It has a shield which contains 50% of it's max health. This shield cannot be healed by the Overdrive, and makes it immune to burning and freezing. So it has 1.5x the HP level when it spawns that it does currently. Once the shield is down, there is no way to get it back. And it would be fun if "[name] is enraged" appears when the juggernaut loses his shield, rather than when he gets a certain number of kills.

I agree completely. Played a No Supplies battle - 2nd place (1st was Mammoth-Twins M2). Played a MM battle with similar rank limits - 5th place. I have had many other identical experiences.

Maybe all but Mammoth with Double Armour (and so all without)?

With a volley it can...

Striker needs one of the following changes (not both): 1: Lock-on is lowered by 1s (3.5 - 2.5) from m0 to m4 and missiles explode if they come within 1/3 of splash radius close to a tank. 2: Lock-on is lowered by 1s at all modifications (2.5 - 2.0) from m0 to m4 and reload is lowered by .5s (2.0 - 1.3) from m0 to m4 but damage is between Max of Smoky and min of Thunder (so it cannot 1-shot medium hulls anymore without double damage)

This does not make sense - DOUBLE damage and DOUBLE armour are meant to be double. And banning players for using Magnum in certain ways... That's ridiculous.

Or "Earn EXP/Crystals in Free For All battles"

Smoky needs critical chance nerfed at range, then it'l be fine. Magnum will probably never be balanced, as it is outside of the scope of the game, and Thunder needs less impact... And there's something about it's damage with double damage that is scary, even more so than with Magnum or Railgun... I don't know how that can be fixed...
