Let's discuss the improved Speed Boost

I still doubt I'll use Nitro unless there's a gold.

poor freeze, poor wasp..

So Wasp was nerved the 4rd time in a row.

A wasp is not a very popular tank on the battlefield.. and now it was nerved again.

so we have:

- some auto-aiming update so now Ricos and smokeys hit me more easy even when I pass by at maximum speed

- flipping (changed a little.. but skilled players can flip you very effectivly on purpose. Higher ranks = MANY of skilled players)

- nitro increases turret turning speed - harder to dodge

- higher demage on mid/heavy hulls

 

balance should be about "effectivity on the battlefield".. while the equal/unequal distriution should just reflect personal preferences.

I tried to use speed yesterday on mammoth/ thunder in island when freeze approached me i was quiet impressed the turret could keepUp with the other tank i was trying to destroy but then i had to sacrifice not using double armour for the next 15secs... overall i think we need to spend more time using speed boost and adjusting our time calculations of using supplies to take the full advantage of this update. I like this update

I like the idea. Good job  :D

Thanks Tanki devs! I no longer find Freeze an annoying threat as I can activate an N20 and just save myself.

[miltos210 7]

The most thing I like is that my thunder turns like a freeze!!! xD

[Nltobh 498]

I think that the devs are forgetting about freeze lol so much harm done to a fridge 

[Mr.SV.ENS 738]

Got 30k drugs so this update will be very handy.

[ADepic 2]

Weird.

 I thought if there would be a update to speed boost, it would make weapon reload faster not weapon turning speed.

[Perfect_Skillsz 78]

Nice.

[tankcommander_XXX 2]

you should try using boost with freeze now. it was already hard to use before because of the fast rotation, now i probably won't use it at all. if it increased weapon reloading speed as ADepic said, it would be better.

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

increase of realoading speed would make it really more usefull.

But imagine using double demage with Nitro then.. a deadly overpowered combination..

[Batmode_ON 60]

Not much change to me but that's just me

[PopChaser 60]

It is taking me longer than I thought to adjust to this.  Previously I could swing the turret and tank in the same direction and shoot in the 1/10 second it was on target.  Now I always miss.

[genak138 950]

How about this: If they make it so Speed boost decrease your reload time, in order to make those people saying "freeze is nerfed" happy, freeze could also make you reload slower? Yeah, I think I like that... Speed boost decreases reload time, while freeze increases reload time when enemy tanks are frozen...

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

Making freeze reduce the enemies tank reload time would really help. A Freezer tries to stay behind the enemiy.. but it dies not work always. So your idea would help the freeze in this cases.

 

The problem is that Freeze is currently nerved only in druged wars due to the new nitro.. while it would then be slightly overpowered in non drug wars.

GOOD JOB! Now freeze is easier to win!

;)

[Litesurge 2]

But the speed update is so nice with shaft, but like it was stated earlier, it takes awhile to get used to the new speed.

[dragonssk1 334]

Being a freeze user this make me think of changing weapons. freeze has been getting disadvantaged more and more, its becoming harder to finish in a good spot on the leader board.

the last thing anyone wants is an overpowered freeze. Heck remember the pre-frozen time of freeze before the big update where it took forever for freeze to unfreeze? It was such an annoying weapon. 

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

If you want to make it popular, make it decrease the reloading time as well :)

he is not asking to overpower freeze.

He points out, that freeze (which is nowadays in my opinion balanced) is getting underpowered more and more (flipping, autoaim for Rico on fast tanks passing by, additional health for larger hulls and the nitro effect on the turret).

 

Noone who is a little more mature wants any of the weapons beeing overpowered. It makes the game boring and anoying over time.

 

Each weapon should have a simmilar chance to win on the (propper!) battlefield.. but for ech weapon you need different tactics. It needs the players brains to move in a way, to wait, to lure the enemy, to attack from behind, tu rush out and attack.. - whatever it takes to turn the situation into his personal favor.. into a situation that suits his weapon.

[Strawwitz 86]

, autoaim for Rico on fast tanks passing by,

What are you talking about? There is no auto-aim for Rico. Your opponents are just getting better at tracking and leading.(And/or you're getting predictable at driving)

Thats true, but I was just pointing out the old freeze and how OP it was. It drove me nuts!

[I.WalkAlone 548]

WAS overpowered. Now it's under powered. Non-freeze users might still find it annoying, but have you ever seen a freeze top a battle after the nerfs without using supplies? As a freeze user, I find gaining exp very slow with it as compared to other turrets. Heck, even my thunder m1 does a LOT better than it in battles. What is OP right now is firebird. Funnily enough, I don't see anyone complaining about that. Might have to do with the fact that 60% of players at my rank use firebird m2.

[pizzaslad 471]

I haven't noticed a change in the game  :unsure:  Maybe that's because I'm always using Wasp  ^_^  B)
