Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 4

[djole52 4]

Finally a good balancing update.

 

A bit more manouverability for heavy hulls is good, and a bit more health for mediums and hornet.

Well the self-destruct penalty is arguable. It is good since i hate when someone jumps off a cliff just before i kill them (I also use this myself), but it shouldn't be applied if someone self-destructs by pressing delete, witch means he's probably flipped, and a 10 second delay is already a penalty by itself, especially in tight CTF matches, but I don't think this should affect the team score. Self destructs with thunder (or rico) are OK, since you get 0 kills when you self-destruct and kill someone, but if you let him kill you you also get 0 but he gets 1 kill. Also thunder got more damage, so stop complaining. Rico finally got its much needed nerf, it was sooooo OP. I have micro-upgraded m1 hornet and 30% protection against rico, yet still m0 ricochets easily kill me. Thunder also got more vertical aiming angle so it remains balaned, maybe even stronger, I'm even now considering playing with thunder (I usually play with rail). Firebird was OP at lower ranks, so I hope that now it will be balanced. Both fire and freeze got nerfed - now they have to come close to their target for max damage, witch is realistic. Freeze vs. isida - freeze still wins. You can't freeze and run, but you can still get behind an isida with freeze and kill him. Isida now removes freeze and firebird effects...don't know if this is good or bad, also that stuff with the medkits, i will have to test that out first.

 

Anyway this seems like a very good update, can't wait to try it out!  ;)

With the new first aid kits, druggers are more op  :mellow: but at least when you're getting a gold box while your drugging, you can at least live to try get it while 10 million other tanks are fighting to get it.

[Dhruv_007 30]

I'm sorry but you have actually made freeze and fire useless made the self destruct thing unfair as thunders will have to shoot themselves in close quartes so thunders another weapon out of the running and im getting really annoyed about this Isida affect i mean seriously hos that fair soon all you will se is isida rail smoky twins and mabye rico u kinda made the range too short tho. and this SD is just not cool anymore now for example lets take twins theres no way that you can flip after you have been hit and you are sideways without help so its just not fair. This is the worst update by far i prefered if you had mabye reduced it by like 5 meters but you have gone too far in my opinion. please postpone this update and create a new one which is more even

Ok, just tested a little, very sorry to see the end of freeze era, its a dead turret now.

the re balancing has already been initiated in the game?

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Why Rico nerfed :( Anyway, I was sure about that. I told you Dragonite. To much people complained about Rico...

 

Looks like my freeze will stay again in my garage. I will take Isida now, maybe Hornet too.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

About self-destruct, what about if you flip? You lose 1 point too? Or just wait to someone to kill you. All Thunder users can risk a penalty oe one point too.

 

 

and yes i totally agree that firebird is overpowered at lower ranks and underpowered at higher ranks

Wait, what? Firebird M3 is so OP lol, especially with supplies. And now fire effect will last 1 minute.

The test server was open?

[Xenophobia 457]

The test server was open?

 

Test is on the go here http://test.tankionline.com/battle-en4.html

It is still open. :)

no in test server, see hazel-rah posted a link

[lukey0 27,543]

Nice but its sad we will miss two V-Logs in a row tho. :(

[hellboy1234567 546]

titan got nerfed, and dictator buffed again, at this rate one day dictator will have hp of a mammoth and speed of a wasp :P

One word lol

[USA-POWER 227]

Ok Semyon this could be a wrong math you are counting on now

You are counting on a concrete math which is 30 difference in Hp = 1 difference in speed

 

the real math should be algorithmic and not straight !

 

 

the following math equation used for the rebalance using the hp/ speed ratio was 30/1

 

Hull                      HP /  Speed

Mammoth          420   /   5

Titan                  390  /   6

 

Dictator            330 / 8

Viking              300 / 9

Hunter              270 / 8

 

Horner             210 / 12

Wasp              180 / 13

 

 

 

 

If you take it like that.. who would be using wasp instead of hornet? and who would be  using titan instead of mammoth?

These tanks at the 2 opposite extremes of weight, you can't apply the 30/1 equation to them ..

But you can do the equation for the medium tanks .. but not the light and heavy ones .. it was supposed to be a curved like equation and not a fixed 30/1 blocks

You don't tell us that you are changing stats, freeze is a dead turret, it was my only turret -_-

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I've checked out the new changes: here are my comments:

 

Hunter is losing ground compared to Viking; you might want to lower Viking's speed very slightly to counteract the difference of the health increase.

 

Dictator is now an EPIC tank. Extremely stable (I can fire a Railgun perpendicular to the axis, and it barely budges), very high health, and pretty great speed! I still absolutely love the look of it.

 

Titan has been nerfed more than it should have been. Before, its advantages were very good health and OK speed, but now, it's just good health and bad speed. I'd rather use Mammoth!

 

Hornet is now a bit more overpowered.

 

Freeze and Firebird have been nerfed considerably. For Freeze, that's OK, but for Firebird, it might be a little bit too much.

 

Isida is now overpowered.

Previous MUs of isida were up to 70 .. now MUs are up to 66 .. it didn't get buffed .. but all the rest of your comment was great.. specially regarding titan "turned into totally useless" and Hunter .. increased 10 hp compared to +15 increase with viking

However firebird wont get nerfed as you said, its damage significantly increased compared to freeze

Really, fire is nerfed?? did you check the stats? its buffed actually, but slightly and i love that the after burn is increased, all these inside 5meters :D  tho. But pity for freeze, its nerfed terribly, i wonder i'll ever see/use freeze. Isida is not OP, its just given the ability to unfreeze/cooldown.

 

Hunter/Viking is OK, but dictator is getting so much buff, soon its gonna become a heavy hull :D , in fact i would prefer it over titan now. And hornet is not OP, if you look closely its actually brought back to its pre-rebalance state.

I'm not sure if I can answer the question in the vlog about the tanks VS mines but if so here is my answer.
I think the Titan will survive the mine.
