The Planned Change of Switching Your Gun in Battle

[skitee 555]

Paints should be made cheaper, IMHO - mainly because they are ridonculously overpriced as they are but also this update will decrease their usefulness as OP states.

 

Personally the idea is a bit meh myself, I'd prefer to just have being able to read the weapons and tanks on each team from outside the battle, changing during game is a bit harsh on your teammates (unless the change would be instant, but I don't think I even can list all the epic fails which that would bring). Just be able to view the weapons and hulls from outside the battle so you can get the right decision of paint, hull and weapon before you join. This is not so harsh to a team who have worked hard and don't want to be compromised by a player on their team wasting minutes changing weapons and hulls.

Yeah, I agree with you skitee; changing during battles would be silly, however an overview of turrets/hulls/paints on the battle listing would do a similar job.

That is a great idea, Skitee.  It would create some good battles in NS for sure.  The cheaper paints would really be nice too, but you know as well as I do that it just isn't going to happen !!!

Protection paints? They need to be costly in my opinion, because in high rank they have high protections, otherwise every players would almost have all protection paints in their garage like in test server.

Its a good idea

Do the maths. Let's take M3 Hunter as an example. Compared to M2 Hunter, it gives you around extra 25% protection from all weapons, 1.1 more speed and cooler looks. This costs 217k. For (almost) the same price, Needle gives you 20% from Rico, 25% of Shaft and 48% from Smoky. Which one is better? Especially when people will be able to change their weapon to counter-act what paint you have, then paints will be decreased. Paints, IMHO, are overpriced right now. I understand why they are priced so high but it still kinda sucks. :s

[Raphael2 3,263]

Yes; paints are soo over priced. Before rebalance; 4 paints were at a 150k price (the most expensive !!) and the others were at 100k. And good paints were from 50k to the 150k ones.

I did get your point where you said that changing garage items during middle of a battle and won't be able to change to a suitable protection paints for better advantage due to having purchased a few paints as they are, of course, expensive ( like for myself, I only have brought 1 protection paint beginning of this year and wishing to buy a 'golden star & upward ranks' paint now already). But still some paints available at high ranks have "overpower" protections so it needs to have high price tag, as you understood it is costly. I think the dev did this for a reason as well same for a high price turrets ( not just only making more income through buyers), they are trying to make it difficult ( I mean it in a good way for the game as it creates overall dynamic gameplay IMO) for most players just to buy all paints while upgrading other items. to have better advantage against certain weapons. Even though it is expensive, I'm not complaining as almost every players around high ranks already have good protection against certain weapons.

Maybe you can do something you can choose 2 hulls, 2 weapons and 2 paints before joining and you can change between those while being in battle without losing score and crys.

This update is probably not going to good. Even though tanki is a FPS game I think it shouldn't have gun switching because it just doesn't feel right since we have paints that have protection against certain guns, I'd be good if it was like protection against mid-caliber guns (smoky and thunder) or protection against close range guns (freeze and firebird) and long range guns (railgun and shaft) and plazma guns (twins and isida?) and fire protection (ricochet and firebird I know i put firebird 2x)

[Mr.SV.ENS 738]

We were able to change our stuff during game by using a glitch, it was OK by then, no problems etc. So why they removed it and why it's a problem if they add it again Arhamness?

[r_candyguy0 2]

No, it should be free to change your turret during battle but I think you should have to wait a certain amount of time before you can rejoin the battle, kind of like how a race car driver has to wait for there pit crew to change the wheels of the vehicle or refuel it. You would wait for your "tank crew" to put on the new turret, like 45 seconds for m0, 40 for m1, 30 for m2 and 15 for m3.

ya thats a good idea :)  :fire_r:  :tank:  :tank:  :tank:  :tank:  :fire_l:

Now there going to implement it that you can do it in 1 click, it will be mad!
