New visual effects for Railgun and Isida

I use the Isada alot, and I do not like the new graphics at all.  I very much enjoyed the old arching electrical graphic.  If I were going to improve the old graphic I'd make it a little more like the smoky shot when it hits an opponent, making it surround the opponent's hull in an electric field type of thing.

I only play with Isida and Rail...so here are my thoughts. The Isida looks like...I am not even sure, the colors are so weird, I feel like i'm playing with a paint brush...Before, the Isida was a powerful looking gun, now I feel really immature playing with it. Kind of makes you dizzy as well. 

 

The rail gun simply looks odd, its not bad, its not good, but the squiggles make it distracting. Also, i finally got the m2 rail so i could have the power and the purple bolt...and I cannot tell the difference between m0-m2. 

 

Over all I am disappointed, and I wish you could have a poll of some sort. I love Tanki, I have never had a problem with updates, until now.

While I appreciate the effort on the visuals, the major ongoing issue with both the railgun and isida is targeting.

 

There is nothing worse or more frustrating, especially on a map with many players, than the virtually uncontrollable targeting of these two weapons. Rather than let the player choose the target tank, the system selects it. And in my experience more than half the time the system gets it dead wrong. This is especially true when several friendly and enemy tanks are clustered in a small area.

 

I've lost count of how many times my isida began healing a friendly while trying to take out the adjacent enemy in a cluster, or vice versa. The closer the proximity of the tanks in a cluster, the more difficult (virtually impossible) it is to target the one I have in mind.

 

Sure we can play around with the hull and turret angles in an attempt to compensate and redirect the aim, but in the heat of battle it's a PITA, and in many cases it can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

 

Devs...the visuals are fantastic...excellent work...but if you really want to improve game play dramatically let's put some effort into user selected targeting. And if it makes these two weapons disproportionately powerful, well, figure out what you need to to do rebalance the turrets.

Semyon,The Railgun's visual effect is perfect but for Isida's visual effect,it just completely  sucks.The old Isida looks a lot cooler,it looks like an electric gun that fires electricity but the new update has shown that Isida fires a thick yellow ribbon that looks completely awful,we know the new isida fires like a plasma but many of us still love the old frightening electricity not a thick plasma beam,ok?

  • How easy is it to identify Railgun’s grade from its effect? it's a little harder now
  • How easy is it to identify Isida's grade from its effect? not easy :|
  • Has the new effect made Railgun look more "powerful" on the battlefield? No difference
  • Has the new effect made Isida look more "powerful" on the battlefield? no.it's like baby gun now :)

you may have to change the sound effect of railgun too,it's still like LASER GUN not RAIL ;)

Well, technically speaking nanobots are incredibly small, so even the thinner stream which the older version of isida had could contain millions of 'em -enough to decimate a tank. The new one looks okay, but it's rather absurd that such a thick stream comes out of such a thin opening in the turret.

 

Railgun looks absolutely disgusting. The older version was much cooler.

The change in isida:Looks lot more powerful! ;).And also different looks

The change in Railgun:A little bit powerful. :( You can increase its power by changing the sound.Like the charging sound becomes faster and goes to high pitch and a loud boom sound comes while shooting etc.And not much difference.

Uhh... new effect for Rail is IMO fine, but previous was better.

New firing of Isida just looks childish (or weird at least) and it makes me feel dizzy. Previous effect was lot better than this.
