Let's Discuss Hunter!

[wolverine848 13,097]

I think he might mean that he prefers Vikings new upcoming overdrive to Hunter's

 

I wouldnt disagree, I think Hunter's OD is very situational whereas Viking's is very versatile

Could be what Truth meant. 

 

We will have to see specifics - depends on what exactly the Viking benefit is.

[Truthteller 4,204]

That's what I meant, yes it depends on the specifics we will see how they both function in game

You can see all the new overdrives in the recent vlog

 

Hunter gets the ability to disable drugs in an area around it

 

Viking gets a temporary fire rate boost for weapons with reload, and (I think) short range weapons have unlimited ammo

<_<  "I think".  This is what I mean... it's not that specific.

 

And just a 20% reload boost vs what Dictator gets?  That can't be it. 

Dictator doubles armor and dmg for itself and everyone near while Viking might get a 20% reload boost?  Seems very unbalanced to me.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Vikings one can last longer

[caiosilvac 567]

its upcoming overdrive seems good enough, but I'd prefer Viking's instead, since I'm a Smoky user.

But I'm not changing hulls, Hunter is the only hull I'll upgrade.

[robbie56 2,403]

Would upgrading Hunter M3 to M4 be any good?

[Jehuti 332]

Would upgrading Hunter M3 to M4 be any good?

The difference between Hunter M3 and Hunter M4 is the same as the difference between Hunter M2 and M3. So. You tell me. :rolleyes:

 

Even just MUing it halfway (the cheaper but still effective option) can mean the difference between life and death.

Hi there. Just a question (or 2). According to the developers, hunter's new overdrive is an EMP that disables all nearby supplies, correct?

 

1. Is the disabling effect applied to the enemies only, or is it spread to teammates?

 

2. Will the effect also disable any overdrives and activate their cooldowns?

Right now, we have very little knowledge about the future of overdrives. However, it is highly likely that the effect will be only for enemies, otherwise that can lead to sabotaging which is against the rules. For the last question, I would assume it will affect any supplies, meaning also Overdrives, but as I said, this could all change :/

Seems like Hunter will really be a support hull.

[EternaI_Sorrow 340]

Is Hunter still as awesome as ever  :lol:

[twins-m2-worker1 3]

Hunter is useless

[wolverine848 13,097]

Hunter is useless

Why you say that?

 

At m1 it is better than Viking in just about every way.

 

At m2 that's reversed.

 

At M3+ depends on if you prefer speed vs stability/pushing power...

Viking has more health, speed for every step of modification..... Idk what is the point of using hunter anymore compared to viking by nerfing hunter top speed / acceleration they have just pushed more people onto viking which is why you see more heavy / medium hull users in the game anyway, probably only up to 10% to be generous use wasp their nerfs to these hulls have caused less balance more people using the OP weapons of the time before those get nerfed

He is saying its useless before it had nice balanced speed but now they have made viking all in one hull more health speed and power where hunter still has less health and is slower why does titan have less health than mammoth but is still faster than it until it gets to m3 stage but with viking / hunter,  viking has more health / speed and you would be better off using hornet / viking etc totally not fair that is why the other guy is saying it is support hull / not main attack hull as it was advertised as in the description / multi purpose hull. (defense / attack)

You are incorrect.

 

Hunter > health than Viking at M1. Hunter is much better than Viking at m1 - hence the late unlock rank.

 

At M3+ Viking and Hunter have exact same health.

Due to my upgrdes I wasnt able to see the original stats (MU)

I already know that all hulls have been grouped together in terms of health which is why I said it inadvertenly " until it gets to m3 stage" in previous post. I can see you are a viking user and not a hunter user so it is lonly logical you would make an argument for as to why itshould remain OP and not be balanced, but you can clearly see that they have made viking all in 1 hull at m2 / m3 at m2 has more health speed and power at m3 still has more speed and power

I had Viking long before the re-balance. And I've used it a lot since the re-balance.  I preferred Viking before the re-balance which means I would like the current Hunter more today.  But Tanki did not give me option to switch hulls so I'm stuck with current Viking.

 

I have an account at W03 with Hunter m0-10/10. It is awesome.  However I'm also saving for a kit that will have Viking M2 because at M2 Viking is better.  The hulls vary at each m-level and it's up to you to decide what characteristics you prefer.

 

Once you get to M3 a choice is made - do you prefer speed or stability.  Hunter is much better than Viking for turrets like smoky because it is way more stable - smoky needs to keep hitting targets to generate criticals.  Same with Striker - Viking is terrible for trying to get lock-on because enemy hits bounce it around due to lack of weight.

 

One is not better than the other.  They are just different.

[XLG1 67]

You didn't say anything about "until it gets to the M3 stage." Also, no one is saying anything about which hull is OP and what isn't. @wolverine848 was simply pointing out that Viking is NOT better than Hunter at every modification. That's it.

Ok maybe I didnt mention it explicitly which is why to you it was not visible even do i did say "until it gets to m3 stage" concernning titan / mammoth which I assumed would coincide previous point about health.

 

But I can see 1 simularity here: Both viking users who have upgraded it and arent really supporting change to hunter even do it is much required and are saying it is fine as it is now unless stated otherwise.

 

One is not better than the other but 1 may be more favoured / OP than the other due to the fact at m3 viking has speed , stability and power. Atm at M3 as they are both in the medium hull category there really is no point of using hunter as viking has more speed and players might not consider the different characteristics of the hull which will modify the gameplay as used with different turrets

 

Stability because of its longer size and its speed was balanced as it had more weight / power and less speed which having less power, weight and more speed does not make sense due to its longer size which is why the turrets usable on it have changed, and so has the gameplay significantly.

 

Hunter may be awesome to you at m0 low warrant rank on your alt but as you do not have it on your main account at m3 legend rank and as videos may become outdated do not provide an indepth analysis per general battles, your not really in the appropriate position to say whether it is balanced or not. M0 everything is easy to kill especially as you are already experienced and most of the new players probably are not playing for their first times.

I think you are not getting part of it...

 

At m3 and above...

Viking speed > Hunter

Hunter stability > Viking

 

Which you prefer is what you should buy.  Maybe you value speed over stability?  Buy Viking.

 

In a medium hull I value stability over speed so I wish I had Hunter.  So I would hardly consider Viking "OP" or better.

 

So yes, I kind of am in "a position to say whether it is balanced or not".  It's all opinion.

[medicguy 27]

So it got a total stat swap with viking? How odd. (I was gone when that happened.)

It's weird to me that hunter is slower now. In my head it was always between viking and hornet in pretty much every stat.

Yup.

That's why i had Hornet and Viking originally - one for speed and one for health/stability.

 

Now Viking is like a flat hornet.  Blech.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS HULL!!!

 

I see many beginners don’t like Hunter because it’s the first hull they get, but there’s a lot more to Hunter than being “the regular one”.

First off, it’s better than catching golds than it’s younger brother, Viking

Second, Hunter M1 is the most powerful medium hull. (Players tend to hate Hunter for this, it is the most expensive M1 hull)

Third, speed boost basically turns it into a strong Hornet, and Hornet is a popular hull, but Hunter has more health.

Finally, it can save a large amount of crystals. (Besides Hunter M1, you can get Hunter M0 for free, and Hunter M3 is the cheapest M3. Besides, why waste 20,000 more crystals for Viking M3 when Hunter M3 is slightly slower than Viking, but has the same health?)

[Ralphas 56]

I don't understand this hull. Why do we need It? It's between hornet and viking.
