Was what i believe they first used as an "explanation".

No idea what they mean by that.  

 

Then they were silent as the grave on the subject.

 

I suspect it's just another way to 'encourage' us to spend crystals...

Djeeaaaahhh, exactly what I were thinking.

Then again, this is mere conjecture

 

, and perhaps Tanki made their decisions on hulls' parameters for the better

 

.  Still, after witnessing 4+ years of drastic change in Tanki, I guess I'm just tired.

1) Not conjecture - it's my experience too

2) Not for the better. at all. we paid crystals for a certain type of hull. Then they took that hull away.

3) I'm tired too - tired of their constant changes that are NOT making the game better.

Tanki changed our hull up on purpose but there's nothing we can do about it now. It's still good and I don't even have it M4, so it's not all bad news.

Who is better aat pushing: hunter or viking?

hunter

 

but dictator is best among the medium hulls

 

hunter often ends up on top of the tank you're trying to push, causing you to self destruct.

this gets very annoying

I have a question !! I have never understood what's better, to have a high weight or to have a low weight ?? 

the only thing I know but I'm not sure is that when you have a high weight it's easier to aim because the others weapons can't shake you .... is'it true ??

Higher weight means other turrets are less likely to knock off your aim with their impact force, so you are right. Additionally, more weight means you are more difficult to flip when you jump and you are also harder to push by other tanks. These being said, I suppose it's better to have higher weight.

it's sad , because that means The only better thing in Viking than hunter it's the speed , Hunter has more weight more power and more turning speed ... so sad ... I love Viking but it's weaker than Hunter  :o  :(  :angry:

Even if it's weaker almost everyone preffers Viking to Hunter and this is my case as well. Viking has a lower height which for me works better in many situations and, as a bonus, it also looks better :) I don't even think about buying Hunter considering how much I have invested in my Viking.

Not me.

 

I bought Viking before the "re-balance" (re-balance - lol) because I preferred the stability. The extra speed?  meh.

 

I was so disappointed when they made the unnecessary change and did not give us option to switch for free.

I bought Hornet and Viking because one provided speed while the other provided health+stability.

Now I have two hulls that are just too similar.

 

last part is true though - since I've already invested so much in Viking I can't consider Hunter - even though it is now the hull I prefer.

twins viking m1 or hammer viking m1 or thunder viking m1?

you are the one who has to decide ... no one of those is stronger than the others ... you just need to know which one you can better use 

for me it's easier to use Twins cuz i prefer to play with that weapon and i love it

Im a guy who has been using wasp ever since Field Marshal, its quite hard to play with ( One of only +s is speed so, so many people miss me)

But I think now for tanki bday Viking m3 is what I will get. But what to use with it.

Good topic :P keep it up

Hmm (this is my alt) I actually pursued my dream and bought it. Since then I have bought, Shaft m3, Isida m3,Twins M3. And they all go superbly with it. Twins is the best though ;). With I only use Viking unless I'm playing xp/bp in which I use wasp. But may I ask you guys, buy more turrets and hulls or MU Viking to M4?

 

Viking is OP don't question me ;)

Wish that was true, it has literally no stability and just about every hull can push it easily. And the speed is detrimental for a wide flat tank. The only benefit Viking has is a decent health and the good looks.

Viking is not weaker overall if your personal skills set benefits greatly from speed.

For me the extra speed and acceleration  is worth the other trade-offs. Viking / Smoky with extra impact at 10 metres hit me if you can.

 

None of the hulls are vastly out of skew. I mean I've never one thought There's a Mammoh so I will win! nor There's a Mammoth I will lose! You get good using the hull you got.

?? How is speed a detriment to a wide wheelbase? The width can make for tight squeezes and impassible gaps, but I never thought of widths not going well with speed. Indeed my wide and fast Viking lands on its feet a lot more than my faster and narrower Wasp.  A lot lot lot.

Speed isn't everything. Except for light hulls. The different between Viking and hunter is that hunter was designed to be a fast medium hull because it's actual body is a good meter off the ground. This allows hunter to climb one end up many different types terrain and it's design makes it so hard to knock around, but was balanced with speed and low weight. Vikings body was so Low that it just barely touched the ground which was good for stealthy attacks and it's design makes it easy to knock around but was balanced with weight and high pushing power. The balance was changed back in October 2016 global update. So now Vikings have to be careful going up a ramp while hunters can basically shove a mammoth up a ramp with ease. And take into consideration that Viking is longer and wider than hunter but hunter is taller.
