Let's Discuss Dictator!

[Shadowdweller01 0]

I would love to be able to use Dictator with Striker - to maintain the salvo sequence above allies or fire rockets and quickly retreat behind corners with the backplaced turret location.  Unfortunately the thing is such a huge target that it gets killed quickly even in back of allies, and the up-down swing from rapid movement always throws my aim off and cancels any benefit from the rear turret location :P

This hull sucks now, my garage is not enough for me to survive through the m2 ranks. Dict is unstable, easy target, cannot attack when rammed in the side, just sucks at mobility. My twins and rico won't help at all too. I will never rank.

Don't forget to add the Dictator XT picture in page 1

Dictator is so unpopular even its forum topic barely gets any attention lol

I see some in the Lieutenant ranks; they are usually from kits. The heavy majority are Vikings followed by Hunters.

It was probably the boar kit and others which have prevented it from falling into complete obscurity.

 

I think it needs its own category, since it's not light, heavy, or even medium. And maybe some good stat changes, to make it a more attractive option for players.

dictator really isn't the dictator

Why do you say that?

[TheReaperLeviathan 31]

Why do you say that?

i think dictator was better before they changed it into a medium hull

Upgraded my dictator to 9/10 and started 10/10 without speedup with the sale, this was the first match with it and railgun. :lol:

I never realised I could have been doing this with Vulcan every single time I got placed on the red team in Wolfenstein:

Took you long enough to notice that headglitch.

I tried it and it doesn't work out as well as that guy got it to work. 

 

But after some thinking, I realised why it didn't work for me. I don't take off the Reinforced Aiming Transmission on my Vulcan. So my vertical auto-aim is decreased therefore it would have a harder time getting players that were in my sight with ease. I'll try it and see if that was the problem.

Dics are now everywhere.  Talk about balancing.   Balance the brain activity of the devs, pls.

[king-at-gold 31]

I like it because I can easily take a gold box

So the dictators overdrive helps teammates but not self as much as other hulls. Does it give you points for helping them? It should, otherwise it is the worst hull for star hunting

Honestly I feel like it’s good, you get all supplies when you use the overdrive which is effective in situations where the supplies are running low

Agree. It's not the most exciting Overdrive, but definitely the most practical. Full drugs for you and teammates, and freezing enemies? Sign me up!

[123tim456back 195]

What does everyone think of the new dictator changes? I feel that the score might be too high, and the instant score reward will result in people wasting it.  For example, most of the team is in a Titan dome. A dictator ODs, and that would gain them a ton of score.  However, another dictator immediately ODs because they increase their score, essentially wasting the full drugs.  

 

It will also also result in players less willing to OD a few teammates, even in a crucial situation because they are saving it for “the perfect moment”.

Played a few battles and yeah, it's too much. It too easily tops their teammates scores. 

 

I assume they did this to give players more incentive to use their Overdrive on their teammates, seeing that before, it benefited your teammates more than you, the Dictator. In theory, I saw that this could have bad repercussions. First off, I'm already seeing that this will be exploited come during peak hours. 2nd off, I feel like with a select group of players, it might make them not want to let Dictators give them overdrives. Seeing that they can have their top 3 place on the winning team jeopardised, they'd want to avoid them.But then they'd be forfeiting free supplies. 

 

Inb4 groups of 4 Dictators farming Overdrives and using it on each other.

I thought dictator OD does not buff other dictator’s OD charge.

it doesn't, but with 4 of them being Dictators, they can use it on each other (and whoever is nearby) and get points. Often as the supplies help them stay alive.

I see.  They will have to watch out for hornet and viking ODs though, and will require groups.

[Michael828 816]

Right now I'm okay with this hull. Those 25 points you get for every teammate within the overdrive's radius really help boost your otherwise low score.

It's a great compensation for the slow speed, relatively harmless OD and other drawbacks I mentioned before.
