Let's Discuss Viking!

well with hunter reaching a speed of 9, no place for viking anymore with its wide frontal bumpers, we are not asking for wide tanks to hover over water, or big ugly once like that of dictator, hunter is the best for all tasks 

[High 773]

I love it! I think its almost perfect.

wrong,hunter has 10m/s speed,dictator has 9m/s and viking 8,5m/s

[Piety 70]

he is surprised how Remaine alternates his playing time with freezer and rail,which requests total different playing styles ;)

Husto was angry on that day at me. And yh what Alex said, although it's pretty old now

 

 

Compared to dictstor Viking is lower and harder to hit, it can fit through gaps easier that a dictstor can, dictator however has got more hp and is fast so it's very good. It had good speed with hp therefore good balance. Dictator has more turning speed even though it's bigger it still is very good

 

But with new physics speed won't matter. Once a wasp hornet or Viking or dictators leave the enemy base with the flag, it's highly unlikely that they will be able to get caught or destroyed since the speed is very fast as it is.

 

New physics should only change the way the tanks move their hulls and have better manouvarability

[Remaine 4,687]

Eh, this hull will be fine after the new physics.

wrong,hunter has 10m/s speed,dictator has 9m/s and viking 8,5m/s

strange i saw it with the new physics yesterday as well, its speed was something like 7.6 or 7.7

hunter's speed = 9.2

Dictator 8.7 

 

and yes of course it will turn more practical than mammoth or titan, both of them will turn like turtles, and dictator is having very easy target points with its big size, 

but still things go better with hunter.

No point gettin dictstor kit is there? I might as wel get the Viking at m3

weren't you the guy that was saying dictator is better?

[Piety 70]

weren't you the guy that was saying dictator is better?

Listen I'm not the guy... I'm "the pro" treat your better ones with respect ;( :) :D lol

 

Anyway yeh but in most maps the extra 1.0 speed won't make a difference that much at all. That's why

I still know dictstor is better but I'm referring to whether it going to be good enough or not

[dardayy 493]

In maps like kungur dictator will be much better, faster and better armor and size wont matter in such big maps, but in maps where u need to hide, then viking will be better, as dictator can be a very easy target from its tail, though in mid range maps like iran i still prefer hunter, it can hide and seek.

But the best combo for the new shaft will be viking

[dardayy 493]

Dicator wil be the best multi task tank, and i remember with MUs it will really turn into a monster. unlike with other hulls, minimal changes with their MUs. 

[r_T3R3Z0 0]

the Viking is a good m1 tank hull for people who like a bit of health and speed and combined with the Thunder it is almost unstoppable.

I personally love the faster tank hulls such as Wasp and Hornet but the Viking doesn't cut the list of fast tank hulls i don't stop using it 

because its a flashyish hull with a good amount of everything. I also like to use the old nitro every now and then.

Same mistake happened again with viking, no significant difference between its m2 and m3 unlike other hulls

the diff from m2 and m3 is pretty good,i dont complain :P

How much crystals do you reckon it will take me to upgrade fully micro upgrade of dictator m3

the difference is that with some paints viking will survive two rail M3 shots :D

with prodigi you can survive 3 shoots B)

like a boss :P

[husto 474]

yeap :D

[Piety 70]

yeap :D

With m3 rail it take 2 shots to die with m2 wasp :(

[husto 474]

With m3 rail it take 2 shots to die with m2 wasp :(

that's the point of paints :)

[Piety 70]

U have to admit 46 of rail is abit too shocking

[Smok-Ti-Thun 93]

Well, I already posted this on the "Let 's Discuss Titan" topic, but I think it is suited for this topic too:

 

After this New Physics thingy (also known as Rebalance II) Titan will certainly had his best days. The Titan-player (even more so for Mammoth ofcourse) will in the New Speedy World be forced into a "Camping-" or the "Sitting Duck-Style": whatever you prefer to call it ;)

 

I liked the old-style Titan which was really suited for big-map defense. Also DM 's where you could back-off a little from the deadly short-range weapons and had at least a good fighting-chance against them. Now it only takes an Isida, fast hull and a simple quick frontal attack and you can kiss your Titan goodbye. Also getting to some cover at all will become a momentuous task.....

 

Personally I always try with my Titan to get some cover behind a Goldbox, and many times I was the first to hide behind it! But already now most of the times the other tanks are faster to that ultimate shield: but there's really always one who touches it...cover gone...noob!

 

Sure the Titan was never fast, but it had a good balance between speed and armour. That will be all over when the New Physics will be implemented as the Stats are at the moment.

 

For me personally it will mean a change in hull. I do not want that, but I feel I do not really have a choice. IMHO the same counts for the other "constantly frozen" hull: the Mammoth. Which I agree with Adam-909 will the better choice after the big change. If you are to become a Camper than the tank with the most HP will simply be the best choice.

 

On the other extremely fast side of Tanki, there will be most likely a huge decline of Wasps in favor of Hornet. Speed is nice, but stability and aiming too....another "huge" victim of the New Physics. Not for the real Pro 's but for the vast majority the Wasp will not be a good choice anymore. But I still hope that we will continue to see Pro 's with Wasp/ Railgun combo's: they really kick ass! B)

 

For me the new hull will be the Viking. Not so good at M1, but with the new upcoming micro-upgrades I assume you can pretty soon enjoy the lusts of the Viking M2. Which already has a really nice HP and gets a new decent speed in the New Era. The Viking M3 is another topic, a lot less cheerfull....but Viking M2: that will do!

 

And at last I need to quote a famous South-Park line for all the future former Wasp, Titan and Mammoth-players: "They took our jobs!" :D and a bit of this :angry: and this :(

[FatalTank 712]

With m3 rail it take 2 shots to die with m2 wasp :(

m3 wasp on prodigy, sometimes can survive 2 m3 railgun shots. Thus it would need a 3rd one to be killed B)

wasp m3 thunder m3 and prodigy is a badass combo

is so perfect and well protected :wub:

yes correct, me too lately i thought about that, when using viking m3 with digital, it will need 3 rail m3 shoots to kill that viking, but will still be able to kill it using 20% anti rail paint with 2 fires.
