Let's Discuss Viking!

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Yeah. I'm sure it was only like that because I tired it at M0 though.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Do people often make the transition from viking to titan at my rank?

 

I can't believe I'm still being destroyed by thunder in 3-4 shots, even though I have emerald and 285 HP. Double armor makes a big difference, but it's often preferable to use double damage instead.

 

Idk whether to continue upgrading this hull or get titan instead.

 

This is what I dislike about this game... I can't unlock titan yet and it's another huge chunk of change...

 

Makes me think I should just buy...

Viking m4 can withstand 4 m4 shots without thunder paint and 6~7 shots with paint I recommend to simply m4 your viking as it is incredibly versatile. The thunder that attacked you was on double damage so you will get destroyed in 3 or 4 shots which without your emerald would be a 2 shot (m4 shot on dd deal bring your health down to less than 3/4)..

LOVE!! the  :wub:

Viking,  as it's probable the best hull around because it's overall is the best out of all the hulls I highly recamend it's use! :D.

Viking was a little superior to Hunter, as Hunter had less weight and less stability. Hunter could be sent into dancing and spinning, by almost every M3/M4 turret.

Now.. they have changed the Viking and Hunter (again btw, as it happened already 1 year ago).

 

Are now all current M3 Viking pilots are pushed to get an M3 Hunter instead, if they like to stick to what specs they've chosen?

 

 

I see no reason in exchanging those hulls specs (hunter <-> viking) as if not for making us spend even more crystals -.-

This single part of the rebalance is pretty much useless.. and if I have missed something then pls enlighten me (and no, 0.5 points speed advantage mean nothing.

This means that if you race a hunter vs a viking, then after 10 seconds, the viking will be 5 meters ahead.

That is a single wasp-length advantage after 10 seconds!

 

On which maps you drive 10sec straight without making a stop behind a cover to check the situation? To spy for defenders? To make some midfield shots?

And if you ever race an enemy for 10sec, then one of you is usually dead anyways (you dont expect your enemy to drive by your side peacefully??)

 

It makes no effect at all.

If Viking drifts like Hunter, I am done with Tanki.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Yo ucan now buy a Hunter, that will not drift (like Viking today).

Guess why..

[Heles 9,220]

-__- dammit, they decrease viking's hp just for increase speed. Which i dont need. 

[The-Operator219 1,929]

So they made Viking Hunter?

WHHHHHYYYYY?

The whole point of the LAST change was to make them unique from each other...

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Oh, I know. I predict new modules for both of them. .-.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

acutally dev's wrote that no alternations are planned for hulls (wiki page regarding alternations).

But.. I think this is "just at the moment" and it will change for sure, after they see how many crystasl they can suck back from the players by selling alternations (and balancing, rebalancing and changing them).

 

Also it can be used very nicely to camoflage balance issues.. or on the other hand they could rebalance our stuff and then offer alternations to put it back.

 

Lets see

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Maybe they'll refund us, but this is a big, steaming, disgusting pile.... ...Of beans.

I thought there were going to be "add-ons" to the hulls to make it personalized.

What you are talking about is an after market 'spoiler'

What happened to my beloved hull???? It's got speed now, sure. But instead of having that secure solid feeling of a heavy hull when hit by an impact turret, I feel like I am riding one of those spinners from Twister. Just too light.....

You are now driving a Hunter  :unsure:

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Viking is totally ruined now. It skids everywhere and can't turn corners sharply. Why the **** did I bother saving 150,000 crystals and all my time for then? **** this game no point anymore.
