Interesting Idea

[r_Free_speech0 4]

I originally saw this idea on the Feedback forum (Someone has to go vote no on all the stupid noob ideas) and I thought it was an interesting idea. Basically, short range guns have all the advantages when it comes to earning crystals/xp. See below.

If a long range gunner(I use M3 twins in my main), so I am unbiased) joins a small map game, the short range guns will almost always beat the rail or smoky or thunder and the long range tank will get very few crystals. So, of course, the long range gun should play a bigger map. Since the only large maps on the servers are usually 1 or 2 of Kungur, serpuhov, desert, or 2042 clearly very few long range guns use large maps anymore. Why don't they? Crystals. A long range tank can easily win in a large map, but for the same amount of time, the long range gun tank winning in a large map will earn maybe half the crystals of a short range gun playing for the same length of time in a small map.

So a long range gun can:

Play in small maps and usually lose

OR play in large maps and earn half the crystals that short range guns earn.

This doesn't seem fair to long range guns, since long range guns cost just as much as the short range weapons but earn crystals slower.

I don't expect tanki to significantly improve rail/thunder/smoky stats. But tanki could add a few more xp/battle score for a long range kill (Say over 100 yds).

This would do two things:

Reward people for playing large maps, which is good since they aren't played any more, and:

Increase the battle fund faster in large maps, so that long range guns would be able to earn crystals almost as fast as short range guns.

 

I (AAA again) think that the above post, which I did NOT make, might be a good idea. What do you think?

I'd agree in a Deathmatch on som emaps, but not any of the team games.

I only play with Railgun/Smokey, and my ranking as a number overall, stays close to constant.

So - there's not loads of short-range hack-and-slay players overtaking me on the score line. If anything, I'm going up faster now after the rebalance.
