Lets facee it. Viking is reload hack.

That is why is must be nerfed. I suggest, that it either no more gain douple range on melee range weapons, douple damage, and 5x faster reload, but instead, lights the enmy on fire with its shot. this is how it would compare to other hulls in power.

If it MUST stay as a hack, which it should not, then when it uses its od, there should be 3 second warmup time, before it gains all those attributes, and when it uses its od, its hp reduces to 1. this would make it so that they cant just ran into pack of enemies and wipe them all out with no effort, skill, or any risk but into the line, but must think wisely before attacking with basically godmode like od, which it is right now. If its hull points would go to 1, it would be easier to destroy, giving the enemy a mild chanche to react before being wibed out from the battlefield constantly. 

This is needed, because viking is easily the most op hull in the game, basically acting like good old reload hack, but worse, because u dont get banned for using it. In every other game, if i would spray bullets like vulcan with a weapon, which has slow reload, i would be instantly banned permanently, which is completetly right thing to happen. Not in this game. Here, i can spay any cannon whith easy godmode wiping the enemy team out like they would be flies, and there is nothing they can do about it. 

Because viking is legimidate hack, and hopper is nerfed beyond use, so should be viking. Therefore, a huge nerf is needed to bring back the balancer into the game, which is currently broken by this hull alone.
