Some buyers will just buy huge numbers of containers until they get the alt they want. A certain demigraphic seem to have unlimited funds...

So, low/mid-rank players (who now cannot buy alterations) will eventually be up against Legends who already have alterations. Perfect Storm of players leaving in the future.

Not quite. F2P can still get alterations in Weekly containers, but it was still better when we had the ability to choose what alt we wanted, save up and buy it in the garage.

Not all that bothered about the turret projectile increases, but moving alterations to containers now that's the kick in the teeth.

Just when you think the game couldn't get any worse...

Hardly. And no to the rest.

I'm starting to get the feeling he's not reading what anyone says, and repeats the question...

At the moment you're up against dweebs who can barely find the other end of the map without a.... map. And you have a total of 29 hours, against Wolverine's 2,000 hours. By 2,000 hours your k/d won't look anything like 1.1. Does it matter that you're currently gauss? You've got 0.2 hours on it, what's that.... twelve minutes? ?

Uh-oh. ?

That's why I said it. ? Weird they felt they needed to put this:

One thing i've noticed with the EMP alt is that self-damage has gone.(!) But yeh, should easily be able to knock aim off, depends on the hull. Obvs that's not going to end well with Mammy/Gauss... Also, noticed a neat trick other players have used against gauss - zigzag/duck behind obstacles so you can't get a lock, and then a mad dash at you the last few tank lengths. You're still trying to get a lock when they reach you, and suddenly arcade shots are useless because of the reload time. (Had some "interesting" moments when got lock at the last second. The target stays put (and survives) but poor Wasp/Gauss becomes the projectile.... backwards). ?

It's a handy one. I use it on maps like Brest to jump off bridges behind enemies, with varying success.

I'm using it with Gauss (wish there was a field to tick that and vote) and it's better than with Viking. What I don't kill with Gauss, I kill with the overdrive. Win-win.

Ouch.

Thanks, I picked up the Smoky Cryo alt in case they stop doing alts in the garage. Logic was that I don't see many Smokys on the map so I'm guessing many like me don't use the Smoky protection so I figured it might be the next move. Just got to MU from M3 to M8, but at first use it's not that great. Went back to Gauss for insta-kills but will slog on MUing the Smoky as I go.

Where are you seeing that?

Interesting. If there are going to be a plethora of hulls with alts against Incendiary Mix Firebirds/Vulcans, and hull alts against Gauss & Hunter's EMP, wondering how many go the Smoky and Cryo route. Don't seem to be many using Smoky. Oh heck, is that covered by a hull alt too? Maybe time to hang it up for good.

I don't think so. When they sold it on 20th March it did say: "Replaces the standard explosive projectile with an EMP projectile that deactivates any active supplies of enemy tanks hit by the electromagnetic salvo. The projectile loses its splash damage effect in normal shooting mode, and damage is reduced while using the electromagnetic accelerator. However, the projectile travels at a higher speed and recharges much faster." So it's not a nerf or a buff, it was sold like that from the start. Where I find it ambiguous is the last sentence about the projectile travelling at a higher speed, which only now applies to the Arcade shot.

The chances don't look very high at all. In fact, considerably low.

We have in our Press the exact same problem with that wall of text above as with our own UK media. It's called being a Shill.

Eventually it'll be... buy container, open container, get this. Get three "Plays" in a row and you get to leave the Lobby and actually take part in a battle.

Thanks, I saw that. Maybe I was looking for more explicit figures.

edit

it's been over a month and they still haven't given stats for Gauss's EMP alt either. I don't think giving stats is their thing anymore..

Rubbish. On those maps, 70-90% of the time you're going to get killed by a railgun.
