Best choices AFTER the rebalance ?

[MisterGeneral 692]

my fav combo will always be Thunder / viking.

[Dr.Urbi 657]

 

 

I haven't tried, but you might be right. We'll see. But I think Wasp will be a good tank in Sandbox or Magadan.

Magadan?

 

 

 

About wasp, i bet that it will have same problems as the hornet has now, when with nitro and full speed turn left or right and smoky shot you, you will just roll...

I wish thunder wasn't extremely underpowered after the rebalance.

Because that's the only gun I use; thus the only gun I'm good at. :ph34r:

And it looks so awesome on mammoth...

I was surprised how slow rate of fire it had some 5 days ago when test was open. I liked Smoky better. But it was not final... Also the Viking is seriously nerfed, it seems to me that devs are trying hard to break our habit of playing tier 2 combos and go for tier 1.

You should check that map out, people don't play that map much unfortunately.

And yes that could happen, but the tanks are going to be a bit better balanced I think, so it'd occur less I suppose.

Hope that happens, but wasp m3 get killed in 2 shots with thunder m3(I think), so that suck

Yes I suppose... but viking is unlocked at lower rank.

Titan M3 is unlocked at the highest rank. :blink:

It's a bit faster then mammoth; but way less HP.

So I would go for the slowest fortress there is in this game.

It's the only hull that's strong on M2... and I'm not going to get marshal anyway.

I wish Mammoth will be slightly faster, even at M2. If it was faster people would be using it more as an attacking tank, and it's really fun to meet a Mammoth.

 

I think any speed below 5.0 m/sec is too slow. I wish Mammoth M2 had 5.0 and M3 could have 5.2 or so.

A drugging mammoth isn't fun to meet... especially when you're a little hornet. :P

0,2 isn't a big difference.

hornet m3 rail m3

I have finally made my second and final selection after the rebalance. Firebird M3, Wasp M3 and Picasso, Zeus, and Python paints. You may ask yourself how is he going to buy all at stuff at his low rank ? Simple. I am going to BUY THE RANK. After visiting Koolwalky's webpage and reading all of the information; one thing really caught my attention.

 

Experience package (1000)

 

The rank limit from it is being removed, So you can essentially buy experience to rank up now. Price will remain the same. (100)

 

Life is good again.

If the Mammoth M3 is going to have for example, 5.2 in speed, I mean I hope the M2 isn't to far behind.

 

And YES, I like to meet Mammoths in battle! They are special enemys! If one attacks, the whole team starts working togheter it seems.

 

So if it have some speed people will use it for attacking, which is the role I want Mammoths to be used in! Why use it for camping? If you camp you won't get hit alot and a faster tank would make it alot better to change positions. So I really want Mammoth to have OK speed!

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

I will need 65K to rank from my current position to Generalissimo then xD

[Dihos 2]

I love cheap's videos. (For entertainment purposes only) Yep, I'm entertained by them a lot.

[cheap_plastic_flower 154]

I have changed my mind about all of them. My FIRST and ONLY purchase is going to be Dictator, Firebird, and Jade. It will have speed, good mobilty (it can jump), stopping power, and good protection. I think it will be great for guarding the flag and defense. That is the position I play most of the time.

Dictator with firebird not a good combo

[r_kilaz0 10]

in test server its one of the best combos

[r_Otto_I0 0]

I put together all info from the test server as of today what hulls and turrets concerns, update not promised:

Sadly I miss some info which i put in as question as the garage itself doesnt provide it

https://docs.google....Vl9jSkNuUmtmTmc

My open questions are:

Smokey: range? more detailed info about the "Critical Hit" (when does it happen, and why, how to force it? how much damage does it do and the difference between a M0, M1 etc "Critical Hit")

Thunder: Range? Damage and range of splash (used to be 100% 5m and 50%-0% until 10m or so)

Railgun: Range? cause i heard something about losing power in longer distances

Firebird: How long after burning, what damage happens there, how long can it fire and how long for reload (for each M?)

Freeze: How long until fully unfrozen? How long to freeze, how long to reload? (for each M?)

Ricochet: How many shots in tank, how long to reload? (for each M?)

[Psycho 586]

will they change the way we earn crystals then?

[r_tozzz0 1]

my understanding of this rebalance is that they simply upgraded the tier 1 stuff to tier 2 and downgraded a couple of tier 2 to some kind of tier 1.5

i understand they claim to have made all weapons and tanks of similar strengths and w/e thats on test server doesnt resemble the actual updates. after all i believe the stats circulating around the forum at least give an idea of the promised rebalance. so regardless of the outcome, there will still be two categories of weapons/tanks. they used to be called tier 1 and 2, now will probably be "tier buyers" and tier "non-buyers"

Sadly, but true

 

 

 

 

I saw that isida is the cheapest one and i can afford m2 at my rank, sweat :D and hornet m2 just at next rank, but i think i will buy wasp.

[tralalalalala 1]

I am also considering buying 3 ranks to be able to get Titan, Smoky and Twins. It would cost about 30000 crystals, or 22500 if it is on 25% discount. It will cost as one paint or fully upgraded M3 weapon.

I almost feel bad for considering it, buying rank with crystals, but I did not make the system. System that allows you to buy anything. And won't allow you to be able to get a decent hull after playing for over 2 years.

 

I spent some time on test server yesterday, these are my conclusions:

low range - Freeze > Firebird > Isida... whats the fuss with Firebird anyway, it makes tanks red? Does a little damage after? Freeze immobilizes the tank! Isn't that more important?

medium - Twins > Ricochet... I feel bad for Rico, my favorite weapon for a full year. Twins just go on and on and on and flip Hornets like they are made of paper.

long range Smoky > Thunder > Rail > Shaft... Not sure about this one, tried most of this, Rail was disappointing, Thunder is slow.

 

light body - Wasp > Hornet, arguably... Wasp is scary fast

medium body - Dictator > Hunter > Viking... I feel bad for Viking now, from battlefield king to a joke

heavy body - Mammoth > Titan... Mammoth is super fast and maneuverable when drugged up, I had a hard time escaping it with Dictator! Both on drugs! Titan is very stable, I like it very much, consider buying it.
