Been to test Server.....What do you think?

Mammoth M-3. The Champion has been removed from the M-3 Mammoth!!!! I been running Mammoth from the beginning of my career. I know this hull inside out and make it perform beyond it's scope.  I started out with basic operations and it reminded me of the M-2 Mammoth at times. I also performed some of my challenging maneuvers that I use in battle and could not achieve them. 

 

The new hull design turns very wide. You really have to plan your turn or you could find yourself doing a 3 point turn!  Also, the steering swivels much like a shopping cart making it awkward at times. Moving and shooting at the same time was difficult due to the new steering. Good luck to those players that have a difficult time driving their tanks now. 

 

I notice a change in speed (1 second faster than the original hull). The upgrade in speed benefits moving across the battlefield but that's about it.  

 

I did notice that it's has more mass (correct me if I'm wrong) giving it the ability to push tanks but air time has been sacrificed. The mass has off set it's capability to perform those special maneuvers I'm use to making.

 

The new physics to me has made this tank a new camper not a battling tank that I'm use to.

 

Furthermore, I was able to test other tanks for a couple hours tonight and found that the new physics is creating an environment of out of control tanks in parkour mode. Most of the time trying to stay on the map or just crashing into things. The dev's may have to redesign some maps in order to accommodate the new physics (especially the speed and the sliding). The shopping cart steering is not good at all in my opinion.

 

Most of the battles I have been in lately have been coupled with inexperienced players. This has been quite frustrating to deal with let alone throw this level of physics on top of a fire that has been growing. 

 

I would rather keep my original M-3 Mammoth hull and just possibly install micro-upgrades! Please don't dwarf my M-3 Mammoth I'm not the type to camp. I'm an up front battler. I really am not a fan of any other hull even though they have their place on the battlefield.

I really am at a loss for words..."Madness" comes to mind. Most small hulls are now like angry bee's swarming. If this is going to be the new physics, then Titan and Mammoth must stay as they are (before new physics). The only improvement made to both Titan and Mammoth, should be an increase in speed. The maneuverability is worst, which should not be that way with so many small hulls zooming around at high speed...Titan and Mammoth are now "sitting ducks", both ineffective at blocking (does not grip the pavement), "caping" the flag, and maneuvering through a confrontational situation...My Titan, once a gladiator in a "fire-fight' is now reduced to ineffective bystander...  :angry:
