Let's Discuss Viking!

[kayitsiz 621]

Tried driving M3 Viking on Skyscrapers during test server open testing. Nearly fell off multiple times.

 

Tried driving M3 Dictator on Skyscrapers during test server open testing. Didn't have any problems.

It's all about which hull did you use before.

I think viking is a lot better for Skycrapers. Easy to hide behind the walls, easy to hide on herbs, small enough to use ladders practically...

Also, speed...

Viking is going to be stupidly OP next game balance change, buy your Vikings you kit buyers

Totally disagreed. The small and medium hulls won't get there HP upgraded. They will just have better maneuverability.

[fighter309 384]

Doubt Viking is going to be OP. It needed that extra weight anyway.

It really did. I always hate getting pushed out of the way when a gold drops...

Agreed. :) The extra wait will really come in handy. Moreover it's a real necessity in my opinion.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

^ I find the JackHammer kit to be a good deal. Just 24k more from the original one with no paint to get a 175k paint?! That's a bargain right there B)

Has anyone else noticed that hunter M1 has more armor than viking M1? Which is weird, because viking has more armor M0, M2, and M3, but not M1. Is it a typo? Or did someone just decide to make hunter insanely good for M1?

If your not trolling...it 's because the Hunter M1 unlocks late.

 

The Viking M1 unlocks at Warrant Officer 1 and the Hunter three rangs later at WO4.

The later equipment unlocks the more powerful it becomes.

 

That is why the Hunter M1 and M2 actually outclass the Viking for a long time,

till the Viking gets M2 on rank LT Colonel (normally) as well.

 

Though with the recent produkt kits it 's possible to get these hulls earlier.

 

The Viking is a nice hull, but the Hunter improved a lot since the balance,

so it became an excellent choice now.

You could call it the SuperHornet I guess...

 

Can 't go wrong with Hunter nowadays!

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

Why all those "The"'s LOTS? :p

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

I give you permission to call me  instead of what you did now :lol:

[kayitsiz 621]

Can I continue with Dictator M2 anymore? Or should I buy a Viking?

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

If you really like the Dictator and it suits you: why not?

 

Don 't know if you micro-upgraded your Dictator?

If not and you have some crystals to spend why not put them in micro-upgrading (HP) your Dictator M2?

This hull is worthy of some MU 'ing because of the late M3 unlock.

 

(from 9 till 11 May 50% on MU 's and 80% on speed-ups)

[Loackie 269]

Agreed. :) The extra wait will really come in handy. Moreover it's a real necessity in my opinion. 

Prebalance:

 

Hunter's weakness: Less than ideal HP, low acceleration and pushing power, unnecessary drifting

 

Viking's weakness: wide base, low weight.

 

Postbalance:

 

Hunter's weakness: struggles to push light hulls, less than ideal HP, STILL HAS THE DRIFTING

 

Viking weakness: the wide base that can't even be capitalized on because the weight is too high

 

at least give viking an Achilles's heel, and the weight was it ._.

[Chameleos 157]

What would "Less than ideal HP" mean? It's more light than Viking, so less health. Compensates with going faster.

And it's taller meaning it can steal boxes from Vikings.

Ah, thank you. I wasn't trolling, it was a genuine question. This makes sense, and I appreciate your taking time to respond :)

It is made like that.

 

There is noo good tanks.

Big black holes between ranks and avalibility of tanks.

 

M3 viking is faster avalible than m3 dictator.

And M3 vik vs M2 cictator got different stats.

 

You just need to have them all :)

 

hahahaha

 

It is made like this - fore a reason.

Or like You write - play what suit to You and do not care.

 

I got 3 tanks m3

smal middle heavy

and play with all i got.

Thats all :)

 

Buy only 3 tanks above M0 technology.

For me it is enough.

Hard to get all the best and from now :)

Definitely a good tip.

For me it's Hornet, Viking and Titan.

Viking feels worse post update. Two reasons: extra weight counterbalanced by increase in impact force of other weapons. Increased weight reduces ability to manoeuvre while in flight, I find im flipping a lot more than before.

Going to buy Medic, but that viking makes me go :wacko:
