No way!!  

 

It better be a "bug".  Else they've catered to all the gold cryers.  Like when they neutered Mammoth.

I hope it's just a bug. Otherwise tanki is way too sympathetic to gold diggers and those that are so bad at the game in general.

Hunter OD got silently nerfed it seems.  Just like the new EMP gauss alt, there is only a 5 second supply cooldown.  Imo it was too harsh, at least 15 seconds would be better.  

 

Thoughts?

If it's a deliberate nerf it's too short. Got hit with it a bunch yesterday; that's how I noticed. It was nice to have my supplies back so quick, but if overdrives are going to be in the game, every hull should have one that is useful and satisfying to use. Beat-able, but usually satisfying. For example I think the mammoth needs a little something more--maybe a little damage reduction while it's on?--and I don't think the titan dome should be deactivated by another dome, not when hunter and hornet and a mammoth--and possibly viking and the wasp bomb if you're low on hit points--can turn it off or get past its effect already.

Taking the Hunter EMP down to the level of a turret alteration is lame.

Hunter OD was nerved to oblivion. It's range is terrible and the supply cool down is terrible. I rather use gauss emp alt.

The 5 second nerf was a bit too much, it would probably be better if it was changed to 10, so as to not kill Hunter entirely but to make it more acceptable.

You wouldn't happen to use Hornet+Magnum, would you?

It's now only useful for trying to prevent flag caps.

I've stopped using it in MM - now use Titan or Viking.  Shame they've gutted it like they did Mammoth.  Hard to believe they put that much weight behind gold-digger crying.

Looks like they try to appeal to the gold hunters the same exact way they do to parkourists or XP/BP fans. Kinda shameful to be honest.

So I guess we should not hold our breath waiting for Hornet OD to get some nerfing...

Would not want to upset the "darlings" of the game.

Yeah, that needs some balancing. The things that also come to mind are Gauss, Railgun alts, and Magnum.

I can agree with this statement so, so much. God, I've had enough of XP/BP players getting everything handed to them on a silver platter...

You can't just cater to one subsection of the community for so many years, make it the main focus of eSports, and not even care about the people who hate that mode...

It is my main combo, but I do not play with it exclusively anymore. Lately I've been trying Thunder/Vulcan/Hammer with Viking which I really enjoy now. Hunter is too slow, so Viking it is.

[Mr.Threatz 61]

Easy to fix this,keep your distance from the overdrive range let them waste it or use it and save your team,be a hero lol 

most hunters will use the overdrive as a last resort same as titan dome(and still get killed) its all on timing,they wont bum rush you for no reason.

Play smart,Adapt to the battle,remember your enemies because you''ll come across them again and most likely they will still have the same playstyle.

So you use the most OP combo, that can one-shot medium hulls and spawn kill at will.  Yet you hate Hunter OD...

So apparently the Overdrive was "changed" as per the March 20th Patch Note. I am pretty sure that wasn't there when I first looked at it. And the Mobile Patch Note doesn't have it so maybe they must have edited it in and forgot to add it to the Mobile Patch Notes.

And has no details - unlike most of the other patch notes with changes to equipment.   They tried to sneak this in - no announcement and no explanation.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

The Russian Forum's Patch Note doesn't have the Hunter change listed. Strange. It also skips a number there, meaning it may have been meant for a Patch Note of the number in between.

[Boeing747-800plane 45]

Tanki developers...what the hell. You sneaky little (insert choice word) decided to back hand nerf the most beloved hull in the game. Don’t give me the “well it’s in the patch notes” BULLSH*T. That March 20 patch note had been up for 2 freaking weeks and only now have you acknowledged the obvious nerf. We all know you were trying to cover your ass. Well guess what, we’ve known. We didn’t exactly like the guass alteration because it stole hunter’s OD ability. But we tolerated it because it reset supplies for 3 seconds and did not freeze tanks. When we started to notice our hunter ODs only resetting supplies for 3 seconds, we gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a bug related to the guass alteration. But how wrong we were. You coward to the whiny complaints of gold diggers and nerfed hunter. Did you even try consult us or at least tell us?

As I just wrote in another thread, the misguided perpetual nerfing of the Hunter overdrive is an absurd story. Actually that overdrive by now is certainly underpowered in terms of gameplay. The only reason why this overdrive got so much protest in the forum, that is because it apparently annoys Wasp brats in their childish obsession with goldboxes. So an attractive feature of the game for an adult hull was and is being nerfed into oblivion for reasons that have nothing to do with actual gameplay.

The first thing which must be done is shortening the waiting period between activation of the overdrive and its effectiveness back to its original value. And then one might consider increasing range and stunning period ...

It also annoys the kid playing with the Juggernaut, the teen holding flags in CTF and ASL, the youngster holding the rugby ball, the brat nuke, the sprog Dome, and any players caught in its freezed time zone (defending CP, flags,...) and stripped from their active supplies...  Hunter OD did made a lot of haters

I love it. It's great. Even with the nerfs and the hull alterations, it's still annoying as

Was in an ASL game recently where I zapped two flag carriers just before they were about to cap, such fun

They should do a chart to which augments apply

Actually you can easily find out about all the augments from this site https://en.tankiwiki.com/Augments. They have a chart to show all the augments and their characteristics.

That chart doesn't go into derail enough...   It should tell what each augment works against in a list What s EMP is it a laser like guass and shaft?
