The height is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

nope, it's easier to spot and to flip, and if someone rams on the flanks the guy with dictator cannot aim the tank.

But it's easier to shoot from slopes and it gets pretty swift so it most likely can get away in good time. Dictator is taller than the standard walls which may be a problem for some maps, I grant you that. But in others; hide behind buildings! Yay!

Dictator is good, but I preffer viking. But viking M3 is not worth it. Only 20 more hp and 0.5 more speed. Hehe almost no difference with M2.

 

If I ever reach Generalisimo I will buy Dictator M3.

Funny I never see the Dictator and twins combo.  That is a pretty good combo as the high hull lets you shoot over your own teammates in close quarters whereas most other hulls the twins just fire into the back of your teammate until he dies.  You can pickup a lot of kills that way, shooting enemies while guarded from damage by your won teammates :)

With Dictator, it's much easier to shoot from slopes.

 

I might be misunderstanding your point... but I disagree.

 

 

I use Railgun almost always when I play and here's a disadvantage Dictator, and any other long hull has: they cant bounce as much as other tanks.

 

Railgun cant auto aim much up and down, so I bounce the tanks "shock absorbers" by changing direction quickly and timing it right with the gun. But some hulls cant bounce much, so you cant get the same reach up (or down, though that can be achieved by simply driving forward to the edge or whatever, and balance the tank slightly).

 

Hunter seem to have the best bounce! Dictator probably have some of the worst.

 

 

 

I think the shape problems with Dictator isnt a big deal at all, depending on what you will use it for mostly. Dictator M3 is the "best" tank (if you want a balanced tank), so if you want a combo as good as it gets of speed and HP and you don't play sneaky so much, then it's the best choice :)

 

The shape is only a problem if the tank you really should have is a Hornet or Wasp, and you're a player who drive using covers alot.

 

 

 

One last things though... it's better to be able to stay alive without taking damage, than using a tank (especially a heavy tank...) which makes you constantly trade losing HP for kills. 

A heavy tank is useless when it's low on health. A fast tank is still very useful even with so low health it can't survive a single weapon on the battlefield, becouse you can use agility to have a decent chance at avoiding taking hits.

Because of its height, you don't have to risk moving off the ledge as much which means less self-destructs.

It gets in your way, especially in TDM's or CTF's.

Blocking your aim completely.

I don't see how that isn't a problem with the other hulls.

At least with Dictator, since it's a shoe-like shape, you can shoot at the free space.

You can shoot over other team mates if they have anything but Dictator equipped.

Mammoth has this same problem as Dictator, but not allways/as much.

 

You don't have any problems if you're a Dictator yourself, but your team mates can get annoyed sometimes.

That doesn't happen with me. Then again, you'll rarely see me with a long-range turrets and the close-combat turrets I use go right through them; that's probably why I can't feel your pain.

when someone shoots at you and you're using dictator, it can totally unbalance you.

Yes, it's so big... if one shoots you in the corner of your tank, the angle is huge.  :blink:

It unbalances all hulls lighter than that too; that's not a Dictator-exclusive problem

but if you are using rail with the other hulls you can still inflict damage, with dictator you can't.

 I never truely liked dictator, just because it isn't too great for its upgrades.

It surpasses Viking in the end; the upgrades can't be too bad.

 

but if you are using rail with the other hulls you can still inflict damage, with dictator you can't.

If you use Rail with Wasp, there's a chance you're going to flip over and Hornet isn't exactly stable either.

And I don't see how you're not able to inflict damage with the Dictator; due to its height, it has access to higher/lower parts of maps.

All you Diccy haters are just noobs. Play the right map (I love Combe), and you're a real menace. Plus if an Izzy, Freeze, or Fire reaches they'll be damaged enough to take out before killing you. Usually Rail is the best with this hull.

No, you're the noob for calling people noobs because they have an opinion other than yours; you're just like HighwindsGDN

Am I? Maybe you disagree with me calling people noobs, but I think you don't understand the definition. I can't be a noob for calling others that, although you could pick an array of exciting nouns if you wanted to.

By that logic, anyone who hates on Dictator aren't noobs either. And I know I could pick some exciting nouns to describe you in this situation but then I'd get banned.

Ahh, thank goodness for moderation otherwise it would be a dirty free-for-all. BTW, no they're not noobs for hatin', they're noobs for not being any good with the hull.
