To be honest it's complicated and I haven't understood it.. But they did it with this way to make it as balanced as possible, to not make you sometimes maybe doing many shots without a single critical. And not even make you sometimes to shoot 2 critical in a row (which was happening before if I remember correctly). By the way I really don't like this, I think it's better to be just a pure 20% chance. Not with their ways that make it's fatefully that you will do a critical hit after a determined amount of shots and you fatefully wont do a 2 criticals in a row. Which have removed all of the luck and fun in the critical shots. Though it seems balanced, but I ask.. where is the fun on that ? and why you named it as a random/critical.

Oh so I can always one-shot the ones who have falcon modules with my LCR if the critical shot happened. To be honest I'm not a fan with this update though I liked how it will buff my LCR.. But in general I really dislike it especially with the new protection module that is must to be like Spectrum to be equipped instead of the other modules. Because it's like a protection from all of the turrets

Time to abuse my Vulcan IB for last time before the nerf?

If this is your only account, I think you're too new for Railgun and it's in a low upgrade for your level. Stock Railgun is just sucks, you have to buy LCR Augment.. Which gives you a really enough damage to one-shot light-medium hulls with DD. But it's way more harder than the stock and wasting one shot will cost you a lot. And fyi, LCR Augment is what Railgun used to be from the first release.

I wonder from how developers become more courageous nowadays without any thinking for every update making it only available from UCs, which means directly for buyers. The only reason restrict me from leaving nowadays is just the forum, which if I miss my entertainment and fun from the forum I will simply leave the game and give a rest for my head from the bad updates.

Using Hunter OD against Hopper OD ? !? Is a really unpleasant thing I'm not criticizing the one in the video, but I criticize the action which happen a lot tbh

@MysticBloodYou took it too personal, have you even completed reading my post?

I see the most effective turrets with Viking are : Railgun (especially devastating LCR), Magnum , Thunder. Viking with the rest of turrets isn't that powerful, and Viking is really UP with many turrets/augments. Like Shaft/Vulcan.. And Ricochet plasma-torch. LOLDEATHKILLER is a very right when said that Viking isn't that powerful against 50% modules/Defender, this combination sometimes is a quite enough to waste 3-5 seconds from your OD on a certain player. Also Jugger with 50% protection is not that easy prey for LCR players. I usually when I'm the Jugger, I easily turn Viking's aim off when they come around me, or hiding behind a building or something. Especially against LCR when you have 50% prot which requires him to waste more than 5s on you, and it's really hard tbh. Still Viking OD is a really OP and approximately the only valid effective OD in TJR. But TJR isn't the only mode in the game and is the worst mode for me I don't play it. Ok I remember the discussion was about Viking and we was criticizing it and I'm also.. But someone appeared suddenly exploiting the discussion for promoting his OP Hopper, which turned me disgusted from criticizing Viking more. That called Yelloghetto.

No it's just a contradiction from them... When we say Hopper is OP with Crisis he say it's Crisis's problem, but Viking is OP with status effect.. it's Viking's problem.

For the ones who assumes it's April's fool, no I don't think that because it's a comprehensively update and they talked about it from a while.. A big article and a whole patch notes updates. Which is too far from being an April's fools. But if if it was an April's fool, I'm strongly criticizing Tanki for wasting their resources and time in such a meaningless April's fool. Which if they have sock away that amount of resources/money into nerfing an OP turret, will be a way better than an April's joke.

So you're giving the buyers a 50% protection from all of the turrets !!

Nope, Viking is a very popular hull and it's along with Hornet the most popular hulls in the game. But some hulls like Hunter maybe have its popularization increased due to ODs. Viking isn't as OP as Hopper. And again, the problem of Vikings now because of the big maps that give you the opportunity to face many Vikings' ODs in a row, because the players in the big maps are a lot. So maybe you die 3 times in a row just because of Viking's OD. Is it OP or not? It wasn't that annoying before the big maps in MM, and it's not Viking's problem, it's the ODs update's problem! But Mystic and Yellow took it too seriously chasing every post here against Hopper to give it "Confused" while giving themselves always "Like". Though in real their arguments are the worst to hear. It's a really wrong to admit about Viking OD in a topic where its players don't see Hopper is OP ِAlready Hopper is overwhelmed, and the rest of the overdrives are sucks. So the only still useful OD nowadays is Viking, nerfing it while keeping Hopper have a fun and arrogance with its OD is a really dangerous thing for the game. Strafing sideways + crossing over the tanks + unflip ability, all are what allowed Hopper to be that OP with Crisis. But if it was with Hornet, I'm pretty sure Hornet will get flipped or collided before it trespassing its teambase.

Lol it's the same logic of who say Hopper is balanced because it's from its name it should hop

To be honest it's a good luck, no reason to play Assault than finishing Capture the flag missions. So it's better for you to be in attacking team

No it's impossible to be in a website without download link.. Tanki X was with download link, why they haven't made it in browser? because it's just can be downloaded not a web browser FLASH game

Opps and the map is Highways !! How farce Hopper is

Quickly reading maybe do many problems sometimes?? Again, Striker have a 1s after the sniping to reach all of the rockets. So it's 2.8 + 1 = 3.8s which is higher than your Augment for Gauss which is 1.7 x 2 = 3.4s. Oh and also keep in mind, in the balance, the damage should be always lesser than the reload buff. Have you ever seen the Railgun do the same damage of Twins, if you fought a Twins face to face with your Railgun who is the winner? For sure Twins.. Look at LCR, it increasing the damage by 40% but the reload is by 50%. The damage should always be lesser than the reload time. Opss again quick reading make many problems?? So it's somewhat balanced now

The pure prove that Hopper is OP that it can cross over the tanks like "Ignore tanks" hack. Which is in real a really OP thing and make the defenses such a useless. So it's not always require the OD to capture the flag.

I hope if I haven't heard it ! I'm still trying to get you banned ? ! I haven't ever think about reporting you nor I will report you (except if you went too rude which is expected from your mindset), but assuming that I try to get you banned ! I even if I saw you a mult or a hack I wont record you because I don't care to hurt anyone. It's the only expression for Confused, players mostly using it as Dislike and insulting purpose. When you give someone this reaction he will directly think you disliked

For me I see the most interesting and the best Augments in the game are the Augments for Striker, which have really diversified the role of the play and aren't just a pure OP. Every single of Striker Augments is interesting and open a way of more playing styles and strategies. "Remote" is a really fun to use and maybe too annoying when you try to hide yourself from its user. "Cyclone" is atmostly is useless and is really hard to land your shots, but if you interested you maybe have fun with it. "Uranium" Honestly I hate it, and it can do an enormous damage. Your first Augment for Gauss isn't a balanced, nor OP. It's insanely OP. Doubling the damage for Gauss? You serious or kidding? also 3.4s for insta full damage and no-laser isn't that much (as Striker have 1s to reach the hits after 2.7 aiming). And you haven't nerfed the splash-damage radius.. Imagine a punch of enemies under Titan's Dome and you snipe one of them with your Hornet OD with the 8680 dmg with DD, what you try to reach ! the moon ? the sky? And your last Augment it seems more like Striker without sniping, because Striker can launch the rockets after salvo with a delay 0.25s between the shoots. So it's always do the salvo for Striker ! By the way I agree that Gauss needs more Augments that make you think twice before buying them not just a pure OP buffs. This is what made Tanki players hating Gauss, EMP Gauss have ruined its repu. And even the stock itself is OP. So that what make me really think that the solution for Gauss is to eradicate it completely from the game with no-respect.

You show how your mindset is moderate infront of all of the players.. When I said I don't care about the game nor the Hopper nor the balance but all I care is the respect between me and you, why this made you angry? What I said is applied to "Difference in opinion doesn't invalidate the intimacy". But "See Mods" ! is something show me that I discuss with a kid. "rage and unnecessary swearing" As I see you just go personal after my arguments, and it's your second time to describe me as Raging/Angry and similar words after my arguments/complaints. First it's just a thing that show your less-respect for every reader, and it wont do anything with my argument. When I complain here that doesn't mean I'm rage out, but it mean I describe the current state of the game. See my 2000+ posts in the forums, most of them are complaints ! But is that mean that I'm really angry ! ? Nope, I will tell you for your lack of understanding.. I'm just finding my fun and good time to discuss and share opinions with other players in the forum and I don't mind to compliment what I liked. I'm not a ready to waste a 2000 post or about 9 months of my life to just complain or expressing my rage, if that I really rage or disliked the game I will simply will quit and my posts/complaints wont pass 30 post before leaving. Nothing make me angry or rage out as your assumes more than a rude one, I will tell you that taking the discussion seriously and chasing me in every post to give Confused or saying "Ok boomer" is just a thing describe your less-seriousness and lack of arguments. While we have completed more than 10 pages of the discussion I haven't get any pure argument from you to discuss about or even answering my simplest questions, while I'm now don't want to hear the answer nor want to complete discussing. Insulting me as a "mult" I just try to dodge this as much as I can because the answer wont be a pleasant thing nor for you nor for mystic. And also it's too far from Hopper discussion. Lastly what the mod have deleted from my post wasn't an insult or porfanity word as maybe any future reader will think, but it's an other meaning of "cough", but as it's not appropriate with the forum and I respect the rules, I edited it.

See, if you mean to make it as a new website (not implemented in current HTML5 Tanki) it's a possible, to make the Tanki X download link work again and reopening the game for a week. Because everything is ready for them and no need of new implementing or coding. But if you mean to implement it in the current Tanki Online, as I said it's impossible. By the way I liked your idea of make it as a new website (re-validing the TankiX download link in other meaning), but it mostly seems that wont happen ever. BTW, I also think that Tanki wont ruin and waste their efforts in Tanki X, and they will try to milk the fruits of fatigue with someway. OMG the difference ??

I'm not enthusiastic for any of them.. Tesla turret I think it will be a bad turret like overdrives update. Not sure how will it do to the game. About Damage rework, I'm strongly against it. I just felt disgusted when I saw the constant damage of 1200 of Railgun, I feel it's something weird to do the same damage 24/7 with your turret. Kinda boring Oh and LCR can do an average of 1680 damage (I think this how LCR will be after the update), that will guarantee you to kill the medium hulls always with DD. But you will never have a chance of killing a small hull with one-shot.

Ops now I checked the Wiki and realized ? I have made my discussion as a trust with his knowledge without any checking?

It's not about Hopper or anything.. Cough in Hopper cough in balance and in everything in the game I don't care.. It's about a respect with the one who talk with you
