Fully upgrade your Ricochet. Firebird M1 is weak, and will soon be useless as you progress to Warrant Officer ranks. If you fully upgrade your Ricochet, the M1 will be free at the rank of Warrant Officer 1.

This is my first ever "Guide". Hope you enjoy my opinions on the new Overdrives and what hull got which one. If you have anything to say, or have any opinions on the matter yourself, post below. Wasp's Wasp's Overdrive will definitely help it become a better flag carrier. Nothing better to shake off your opponents than a mine - except a bomb! I was pretty sure the Wasp would get this one. It very clearly fits with Wasp's personality; darting in, doing a ton of damage, and disappearing into the night. Could definitely also help clear CPs of enemies, as I assume a bomb would have splash damage similar to Magnum, and damage similar to Shaft (or maybe even more!) Could definitely help out against those pesky close-ranged weapons which are soo common at my rank. Hornet's I originally thought that this one would be given to Hunter, as it fits the name better. However, the ability to see through walls, plus ignoring all enemy protection modules, is a very good idea. Hornet will probably often be used with Shaft, Smokey, Thunder and Railgun on higher ranks, as nearly half the players on Tanki have at least one of these protections. As for seeing through walls and seeing all enemy HP bars, this will change the game a lot. First of all, Hornet-Magnum might become a very common sight on the battlefield. I would recommend using it after this update, as being able to see enemies behind walls makes Magnum able to be a lot more effective. Seeing enemy HP could be useful for anybody, but Striker and Shaft players will benefit most, as they can choose the mode they use better if enemy HP is visible. Viking's Viking also got the Overdrive I thought and hoped it would get. Increased range. Quicker reloading. Infinite ammo. All of these would benefit any turret. And, because Viking goes well with anything, it seems fitting that it gets an Overdrive good for any role. Not much to say here, except that it would work well with any weapon. Hunter's Hate druggers? This Overdrive's the one for you! The ability to deactivate enemy supplies is an ability non-buyers have been wanting for as long as Tanki has existed. Whether or not this would remove repair kits or mines is still to be seen, but even if not, it will be deadly. Probably best in deathmatches. Wait till you see an enemy with a full supply set, equip one your self, activate it, and they will be powerless to defeat you! Dictator's Dictator's Overdrive is the only one of these currently in the game. Not much to say really, the V-logs have given the best tips on how to use it and I am sure most of us know what it looks like and how it works. Titan's I originally thought that this would be given to Mammoth, however, it was given to his cousin Titan. Titan, in my opinion, does deserve this Overdrive more than Mammoth. I just didn't expect Mammoth to get invulnerability, but now I understand why it would get that as well. This shield is team-orientated, as are most of these Overdrives. Any teammates can stand under the shield and receive the same protection. Mammoth's Mammoth's Overdrive will allow it to become invincible, and destroy anything it touches. It will, however, become slower. This is probably the most deadly of the Overdrives; if you see a Mammoth on a rampage, run! Great for defense and Gold Box catching as well. If you saw a Mammoth with this sitting on the flag, you should probably just run away. Conclusion I think Overdrives will add a new dimension to the way the game works. They will make it more interesting, and allow non-druggers to compete against druggers and buyers. They will also help players to play for the team. See ya... :ph34r:

Nah Titan M3?

If this is only availible in the shop, then everybody is happy. Tanki is happy, because they get more money. Buyers are happy, because using this on a full server can get them even more crystals than with crystal packages. And finally, everybody else is happy, because they can get double funds/EXP or maybe even more chance of Gold Boxes.

Mammoth-Fire is not a great setup for anything other then small maps or single-point CPs. Silence does not fit either of these categories. However, I do agree that Magnum is slightly OP and needs balancing.

Yes it does depend slightly on wieght. However, I calculated that Hornet does indeed have higher acceleration as the difference in weight is only 100 which is barely noticeable.

Maybe a limit for how high the reward could get depending on the rank you first got the supermission on?

No Mammoth M2

So, due to a (not so) recent update, Mammoth and Titan, Dictator, Hunter and Viking, and Wasp and Hornet all have the same amount of HP. So, are the fastest hulls within their class OP, are the slowest UP, or are they (somehow) balanced? That is what I am writing about. Light Hulls So, which is better, Wasp or Hornet? This is the age-old question asked mainly by XP/BP players. Many articles have been written on the subject, and many heated arguments in the chat were started by it. Recently, it has mainly been regarded as "solved". Just saying to somebody who says Hornet is better "but they have the same HP, just Wasp is faster" will shut them up most of the time. First let me point out that Hornet still has it's old weight (1100 at M0 and 2200 at M4). It has also received a buff in speed recently. Now, you are probably still thinking "well yeah, it does have more weight than the Wasp's 1000, but how does that make it balanced? It's still slower." True. However, the Hornet has the highest Power rating of all the light hulls. So? Not like your going to be shoving tanks out the way with a Hornet! Well, it turns out that higher power means higher acceleration. The Hornet takes about half the time to get to top speed. In fact, it will beat a Wasp in a race for the first few metres. Also, the Wasp is higher and thinner than the Hornet, making it easier to flip. A Wasp with DA (Double Armour) can survive a Striker Volley, but will be flipped onto it's side. Railguns can also flip Wasps with a few MUs. Magnums send these tiny things flying. Hornet, on the other hand, is more stable. Medium Hulls With medium hulls, stability is not so much of a problem. However, a careless Viking can knock into obstacles quite easily when being hit by a high impact force weapon. Like with light hulls, the Weight and Power values are different, with Viking having the worst and the Dictator having the best. Viking is the most unstable but fastest, while Dictator is the slowest but most solid, with the best shape. Hunter is in between. Again their acceleration values depend on where on the scale they are. Heavy Hulls We all know how annoying heavy hulls are when 10/10 MUed and being used by druggers. Especially with Twins, Shaft and anything else capable of a quick kill. However, it has been a subject of heated debate for some time, like with light hulls, which is better, Mammoth or Titan. Now, most people think Titan is better, and it would be if it wasn't for Weight. Heavy hulls, in my opinion, are all about Weight and HP. Speed is not something you worry about too much. The difference between them in speed is only .5 m/s and that is nothing. I would sacrifice that any day for 200 more weight, 100 more power, and better turret placement and acceleration. I am sure that many would disagree, however Mammoth is not worse than Titan. Do not let anybody call you a noob for using Mammoth over Titan. Conclusion I hope you all now understand why Tanki gave hulls within their class the same HP. It will always be true that some will like Hornet more than Wasp. Some will prefer Hunter to Dictator. There are no "noob hulls". All have their pros and cons. Until next time...

Waitaminute, not using Shaft, Railgun, Striker or Magnum on Highways is one of the noobiest things you can do.

I have Striker and Rail M1 and I got Striker at staff sargeant and railgun at W.O. 1 both from giveaways and my Mammoth M1 is 5/10 and my Viking M0 is 9/10 and I am not buyer. I could not agree with this more.

Arguably, striker has the highest Damage-per-shot. Even doing minimum damage every time, it will still deal more damage. (3100 at M4)

Although XP should be able to be earned in Party format, but not Crystals. This would allow rankup parties.

Yeah. Maybe you could get a "Free MU pass" from certain achivements. It would start empty, but these achivements could give you 1 or 2 more free MUs. MUs would cost 0 Crystals and would have no speed up if bought when you had some free MUs left.

If you turn off impact force in parkour, then what is parkour?

Aiming is really hard if U have to play with 8-20 FPS all the time.

Wish we could turn back time... To the good old days

No Magnmum m3?

I had a diving suit on :D PUM is in the middle of a Stadium DM with strikers lining the walls, all begining to lock-on

Overdrive stops people joining a battle and leaving after aquiring a good score. It motivates players to play on, as when you join you are likely to meet several people with overdrive.

No Hye lagged through 3 golds in one game :angry:?

Yes M3 Railgun

Yeah, maybe there should be an "alternate control system" option in settings. And most turrets would get an alternate control system from it. Or maybe even add this... as an alteration?

For anyone here who thinks Striker is underpowered... Try playing a stadium DM with Striker-Viking.

When you think certain weapons are OP, it is usually because they work against your tactics. Buy Magnum, Striker and Rico protection... Oh I forgot, devs have not added it yet. You will have to wait. And as for medium hulls' HP: Viking is fastest but unstable. Dictator has best shape but is slowest. And hunter is in between.
