would be weird to change it around now.

Yeah imagine how enraged Dictator players would be when they woke up one morning to find out their favorite hull lost so much of its speed.

Or Titan players waking up one day to realize the thing they invested so many crystals in cause it was a high health hull, no longer had high health.

However, Alternativa decided to put them back to their original classification; that is Dictator back to being a medium hull and Titan became a heavy hull again

Maybe this contributed to Tanki X dying. 

People probably got too used to Dictator being a heavy and Titan being a Medium, and when they were reverted, the players didn't like it cause the hull no longer fits their playing style. O_O

MecdicSida's are going to cry a lot.

I am going to enjoy watching.

I'm glad the devs are gradually nerfing score farming. Hopefully @Yarik and his score-abusing friends will have a tougher time keeping their efficiency so high now.

I've been playing with Dictator, and recently, I've been noticing that I'm getting "phantom" experience points when I play with the hull. That is, when I use Dictator, the total experience I get from the battle is somehow greater than the sum experience from my battle actions (i.e. Kills, Assists, healing, capping a control point, etc.). You can find some examples in the below spoiler.

Looking at my battles with other hulls, I don't get this phantom experience.

Seeing how thes "phantom" experience points don't even get mentioned in both the patch notes and the Wiki, it seems Tanki made another undisclosed patch like they did with faster Overdrive times for Mammoth, Wasp, and Crusader (credit to CongoSpider for mentioning the secret Overdrive patch). I'm guessing this is meant to further nerf score farming and force Dictator players to do other things besides sharing OD with teammates.

Are you talking about Battle score or experience points? The dictator Overdrive always gives 20 battles points if you share it with any number of team mates. I do not think it gives experience points.

I do mean experience points, the points needed for ranking up. Check this out: https://u.cubeupload.com/Sal90/PhantomExperience.png

In that image, I get 440 total experience points. Yet, when I add up the experience points I got from kills and assists, I only get 360 experience points, 80 points short than expected.

Let's look at another: https://u.cubeupload.com/Sal90/a08PhantomExperience2.png

I get 2,160 total experience points. However, only 1,980 of those experience points are accounted for with my kills and assists. I don't know how I gained an extra 180 experience points.

I would hope it's only a visual glitch, yet I don't experience this with other hulls. For instance, https://u.cubeupload.com/Sal90/NoPhantomExperience2.png

Here, all 1,260 experience points are accounted for in kills, assists, and boss-kill assists.

Same deal in this instance: https://u.cubeupload.com/Sal90/NoPhantomExperience.png

All 1,320 experience accounted for here.

I could go on, but I've made my point. I'm happy to provide more screen shots of this weird phenomenon with Dictator if necessary. I have no idea why this is happening, besides a possible undisclosed patch to Dictator's Overdrive or something else.

What is this hull even doing in this game right now ?
No one uses it bcz of its stupid OD and low health. Its OD dont even make any sence if you compare it with other hulls, plus everyone have drugs specially higher ranks...You can't even take golds from it now bcz of other hulls like hunter and hopper. And TO is continuously buffing this hull...

I watched my experience bar when activating Dictator's OD and it seems that it does indeed give experience.
