Let's Discuss Freeze!

Garage description:

 

Close range turret. Freezes enemies, effectively slowing down targets of critical importance. Can put out the fire on burning tanks. Has a limited fuel supply, which recharges over time.

The concept behind this turret was devised in a distant Russian village. From a broken freezer unit and a vacuum, a local inventor created a mechanism for shooting snowballs. The creation was discovered by an engineer fishing nearby, and after many upgrades applied in a secret research university, the mechanism turned into a powerful tank turret. Covering the target with a chemical compound based on freon, the turret will damage and freeze the target, slowing all of its movement. The ability to fully freeze the enemy and escape its firing range allows to fight more powerful tanks. Important to remember -- don’t waste your fuel supply on snowball games with your allies. It’s totally fun, of course, but battle tanks have battles to do.

When I use it I like freezing others and turning around (with mammoth) but I hate being frozen

Once a Freeze joins your enemy: Say goodbye to Flag-captures.

 

Once a Freeze joins your side: You now have un-matched defenses.

Thats why u kill the freeze first, but yes it is very annoying when they are hanging out by flag especially if there is more than one.

freeze is a very powerful weapon in any combat. just waaayyy expensive

[Tigergunner 192]

No it isn't, it's one of the cheapest and you can get it m2 at the lowest rank

Buying freeze M2 was a waste. I never use it.

Well of course you still get frozen in the process of killing them. The  they respawn- not to mention other enemy tanks getting in your way.

Has anyone can respond if freeze M2, on the hull hornet, destroy Isidas, also on the hull hornet, or is still inferior compared to Isidas?

Freeze is simply amazing.

[a-w-e-s-o-m-n-e-s-s 2]

freeze is an excellent weapon but can get annoying sometimes

it depends if you keep some distance you can easily kill the isida, if not, you are probably gonna get killed.

In my opinion; having a freeze in its team is good; but when your Freeze uers number reach 1/3 of the maps players; the game is... Not a game. Its just a boring world where you are as slow as a stone.

BUT I enjoy using it; once a month.

If there are several freezes on the opposite team, I tend to either leave or stay in defence

I played in this one 4 vs. 4 Silence CTF. I was on the blue team, a Freeze was on the red team. So, the Freeze was coming up our base and was obviously going to take our flag and jump down as he was red team on the blue side going back. He was a Hornet m0, I was a Smoky m1 and I was going to kill him in 4 shots. I shot once before he took our flag, and once as he took it. Meanwhile, a drugger teammate of mine got the flag from the red base and was coming up. So, I really wanted to help my teammate and team out by killing that Freeze.

 

Right as he jumped off, I shot him and he did a helicopter in the air. I was using Wasp m1, and I was going to snipe from the top and kill him in one more shot. Well, he used first aid and instead of going behind the buiding that covers the red flag, instead he had a feeling I was sniping so he instead stayed right near the big cliff that really divides blue base's flag from red with two entrances on each side to get to both. 

 

Well, I had to think. I thought "I obviously can't snipe him, if I try, I'll just shoot directly down, and flip". Another thought of mine: "I can't just jump off with my recoil of Smoky because I couldn't get 4 shots at him. By the time I get 1 shot at him, that he's going to vacuum me up for dinner!". Then, I had a genius idea! That was the one I was going with. I jumped off the cliff, placed a mine right as I got off, the mine auto-placed itself on the ground directly from where I jumped off, and it was RIGHT below the Freeze! The placed itself and......BOOM! The Freeze blew up because of the mine-in-air  trick and my teammate captured the flag right as I returned it!

 

The Freeze then said something in Russian with 7 explanation points! He did it again with more and got warned! He did it again and got banned for 5 minutes and then rage-quited! It felt so good to achieve that trick!

Good story ^_^

[UNDESIRABLE 147]

freeze is ok now considering the freeze effect isn't that annoying anymore ^_^

[MusicJam19 737]

No, it still freezes you for a very long time

I prefer it pre-rebalance

[husto 474]

the time you are freezed from freeze after rebalance has grown, now the only way to escape is to have a firebird in your team  <_<
