That's an interesting thought, personally i'm not fussed, but it may help allies know which players are AP'd because I still encounter players who dont shoot targets I AP.

I'm gonna keep this discrete, unless you use round stabilization/ hyperspace rounds, you HAVE to max railgun to get 100% penetration. It is certainly worth it. Also the slight reload and charge time differences, can make quite a difference in a fast paced games. There is ofc smaller gains for upgrading which cost a tonne, but the endgame is to have it maxed for the best potential output. Save crystals, only do 1 MU per sale, eventually you will be there.

Tbh, Mammoth is more of a self orientated hull. Whilst the other two can in some form benefit their teammates. Mammoth OD can be used to remove status inflictions like EMP/AP, or if activated the instant you see a hunter OD activation, you can obliterate them before they get your team. It is a bit more situational, hard to use against hopper unless you have stun immunity or have sat on a capture point and pressed OD before he jumped. The overall effectiveness depends on when it is used. Usually good enough to also remove a few tanks from a Titan Dome.

Well, hard to say there, the vulcan meta stands from mainly having heat immunity on. I guess it may work without it, but you would need to ideally pause between shooting and then continue to avoid overburning to death. But for sure, adrenaline augment on vulcan is very much underrated right now, but is becoming common eventually, people are enjoying it thanks to my advice, but those players have already had heat immunity on from bp's/conts they've earnt or purchased, I would have to test it out, but if you do get occasions to stop shooting to avoid overburning, then you will see benefits. Since a 70% augment sale just went, I suggest you wait for now, but if test server gets back up, head to it and test it out, I will in the next few days try using vulcan adrenaline without heat immunity, maybe heat resistence, or even nothing to see how it feels, if you have a specific hull you want me to use it on, do let me know.

Not sure if you got to reading that, but the minute change you speak of, is essentially a 5% increase from what you have right now. And speaking of 5%, that is essentially what a maxed drone will add for you, so for sure, if you have a maxed drone, you may not lose much, but 5% is still a big change when it comes to life or death,

I hate to say so, but tanki has a crude way of rounding values up, it's very misleading. Found these values from the de.tankiwiki, en.tankiwiki is appauling. https://de.tankiwiki.com/Mikroverbesserungen_von_Vulkan#Mikroverbesserungen_von_Vulkan_Mk7 Your current DPS is 760; yes it may not seem worth to upgrade it fully to get 800dps, just wait on sales and finish it. But I do suggest you try out adrenaline augment for vulcan, it's good to use, makes being on low hp more exciting.

Many veteran players who use vulcan use Heat immunity. As for vulcan augments, IB is but a mild stepping stone, adrenaline vulcan is the way to go. As for mk7 vulcan, the dps is roughly; Now, if we look at mk7-20 vulcan, the dps is; That is a massive difference withint DPS. 250 Dps means a lot. Now with IB, projectile speed is halfed, your average player can dodge most of these, and if they have heat immunity, which many have currently, it's an utter waste. Now let's get to adrenaline, for simplicity, I will assume that we only get 15% buff from adrenaline, 800*1.15=920 dps. Plus your projectiles have no speed reduction, hence you are more likely to get hits on people who try to hide too. Upgrades matter, especially when facing endgame players.

You do know I'm not speaking for myself here. Those who know, me, know I've been upgrading stuff without sales. Regardless of that, there have been many consistent sales in the past, along with the lame exp boost unfortunately, but also a good crystal bonus, also recently of which many free to play players I know have been purchasing items and upgrading their garages. I'll disclose that my lil bro still plays and enjoys the game, without having a single penny spent on his account, many players of this community are like him and just play to have fun. They play MM, spend crystals on supplies, because unfortunately it is hard to play without having supplies at majority of ranks, especially when the latter use will not hesitate to use their abilities. eSports died long ago realistically, majority of the playerbase don't really care about that, but Tanki should be able to shift hot sales by up to 12h, if they can't do a simple thing as that, then we can be disappointed, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Also the rollout that which the hot sales info is spread needs to be consistent on all platforms, so please devs, get that communication on point and ensure the announcements happen pretty much on the dot, I did see a few people just missing out on the sale by a bit.

Let's be honest, we've usually had many sales which are so often that this is an extra cherry on the top. I don't like it, but it's what it is. Maybe a melee turret mk sale soon, who knows, it's still more than bargained for. Tanki don't have to do sales at all, yeah sure people would leave, but if you're still here, means you've been through thick and thin, maybe new, and clearly you may have been part of the recent celebrations which involved a few discounts. So let's have less complaints about this. All we need is a scatter of time zone for these sales so everyone around the world has a decent shot to get something maybe on their hot sale. And that is something that has been acknowledged, now all that's left is to hope u can access the game when the hot sale comes.

Well, hovering hull sales just hit, 70% off, and crusader heat immunity in BP, i sense a potential game balance tip.

Those are some good hull augs; first one is clearly me advertised; expect to see more of this ingame maybe; second one is one i do use too when i have wasp on; I will be interested in seeing how people use these augments, whether the common combos change up or not.

They ain't new. Also to everyone, do not open containers if you will buy the gold tier pass at the end. Since the paints are in containers: When will Tanki give adrenaline augments in the BP? Mortar and subcaliber rounds, here we go again with the mortar spams. At least some thunders have a way to not die with the SR augment when using viking OD. If they decide to use it. I wonder what hulls the stun and heat immunity are for. Any crusader (note; i don't need any augs, but these could change up game balance) Although the 70% aug sale yesterday was when most people bagged the ones they needed.

I'm a killer with a smiley face, I drag enemies down to my grave, ain't anything out here as maddening, for nobody will leave unscathed. --- Abusing Hornet OD retention with blaster, instant OD returns with a free kill.

A few rare unobtainables, yeah sucks that some of the old og ones like halloween etc came into conts.

Best way to go is only play isida dictator with mechanic and sit in large map ASL defence to farm score to get good crystals, new meta for everyone but mostly maxed players use that

Hopper and Crisis was so 2020, 2021 is the era of the Crusader Booster.

Goes without saying. Play with a smile, kill with a smile, win with a smile, lose with a smile.

In the game I played with @krish123_super today; spider module OP Meanwhile an Asl defence game; note I wasn't farming score, I used my drone alone mostly and od's usually alone too;

One of the old achievements: And well, you see, size matters. But yeah Tanki X had reversed these, but it's just something players are accustomed to here on this game, would be weird to change it around now. Plus imagine gold hunting with dictator being a heavy hull, easy golds with the heavy HP.

How to get easy score and crystals: He's totally a f2p player who needs crystals right, it's okay, just let the players leech scores cuz at the end of the day, it clearly doens't change game balance. The endgame players still accumulate more crystals to keep spending, as if it even matters. ?

I guess it's time to add a bit more. Not everyone may see this as a problematic issue. But I do. The devs of the game have indirectly, whether intentionally or not made Hoppers OD stronger. Remember stun, it only stopped you from shooting, moving and holding items before, but hey, now it also stops you from using supplies, which was possible before to help you shield yourself at times. Now if a Hopper stuns you, you can't even save yourself from the burn if you have neither stun and heat immunity on. I highly do suggest the need of stun immunity if you do have it when you do face hopper players. Stun has basically become a 'temporary supply disabler' which only EMP was meant to be. The only difference from stun and EMP now is that EMP also removes current supplies whereas Stun let's a player keep supplies but not use any for 3s. It is clear which effect is more annoying. (Also getting stunned makes you drop flags/balls)

Yes, as a player can only equip 1 immunity, even though immunities are crazy op, there is always a way to make them suffer.

Not gonna read the whole entity of post 1 properly. But no, you can play TDM/CP/TJR. Yw. Enjoy your day, everyone hates those, and I love to kill Hopper crisis Bots in those game modes :) As for countering them, unfortunately you just gotta hit them when they're not on max armor, or use status effects. If you have stun immunity for Hunter, this is one of the top ways of annoying a hopper crisis, cuz even if he has stun immunity, he'll lose supplies, decelerate and slow down. Also Mammy with stun OD can work a good time on like ASL def points at times due to its vertical counterpart of it's AT field. Hopper has 1 overdrive. It does have a few status inflicting parameters which include an AoE burn and AoE stun along with a jump. That can be seen as 3 effects currently. And no thanks to tanki for indirectly buffing Hopper by making it so players can't use supplies during stun, which makes stun the most OP status almost. But if you want to comment on effects, let us welcome the king, Hunter. AoE Stun, AoE EMP, Disables Titan dome, Disables Wasp OD, Abolishes Ares BFG Canon. I'm not trying to defend this abomination of combo, but there are modes you can play where these combos don't have an excessive god feeling.

Actually in my experience they're pretty common, I guess everyone experiences different players.

Did you miss out on the free lifeguard during tanki bday? Unless someone missed it and already has made it to legend rank real quick. Many f2p players also have Gauss EMP from the surplus of mission UC's recently. Like I said, it's the buyers/max garages mainly abusing this. It can be made to have their OD's wasted if players play smart. Most viking players don't turn their turret, usually paired with magnum or thunder, if you have one in the game, you gotta be aware of those too. You ever try to fight a horde with a dic mech on their side, like great, you try to hit, but here, there's a repair, oh wait that's not enough, here comes the OD, full supplies and a repair and ally od buffs, and kaboom you got returned to death by the horde in most scenarios. It does what it needs to very well in games with and without teams. Apparently the turret was the least used or something even though it felt more than viable enough every time I used it. But you see, there is no need to use Isida when you can use your own turret and have a healing aura every 30s. I guess the dev's don't understand that this has also had a knock-on effect on the game balance. You saw how I just recommended the combo to a friend and how he easily gained first casually like that with a decent score gap. Other people will also increase in doing this. And no, still mainly players in the endgame.
