Improved micro-upgrades are in the game

Tankers!

 

If you’ve been following the V-LOG, you already know we’ve been working on improving micro-upgrades. Well, here’s some awesome news — the improved micro-upgrades are in the game right now as you read this!

 

Here’s a quick look at what you should expect:

• For the same amount of crystals as before, you can now upgrade your turret and hull parameters right to the level of the next modification: a fully upgraded M2 will basically have the same parameters as a stock M3.
• If you fully micro-upgrade all of an item’s parameters, you will be able to get its next modification for free upon reaching the required rank.
• You can now use an item in battle even if it is in the process of being micro-upgraded. If the micro-upgrade is completed while you’re in a battle, the new parameter will become effective after your next respawn.
• The following turrets now allow you to micro-upgrade parameters that were previously unavailable for upgrade:

Ricochet - projectile speed

Isida - range

Shaft - penetrating power

Smoky - reload time and range

• Of course, since M0, M1 and M2 turrets and hulls now receive a bigger boost to parameters with micro-upgrades, we have also adjusted any previously installed upgrades on these modifications, making them more effective than before the update.

Tankers, it’s time to stop reading, jump into a battle, and test out some improved parameters on your enemies.

 

Most importantly, have fun and remember to share your thoughts in the comments below.

Now would be a really good time to update the micro-upgrades section in the wiki since new parameters

Have been added.

[akoorp12 34]

whoohoo  yeah

[Alklines 1,751]

Wow, finally here

 

[themaster765 256]

Nice! now its easier having the damage of an m3 on an m2 instead of having to buy that particular gun :D, same for hulls, some parameters are too useless to upgrade, very good update

[The.Skilled.Legend 1,459]

Time to test 'em out!

[deadtoyou 2,502]

Ricochet - projectile speed

Isida - range

Shaft - penetrating power

Smoky - reload time and range

 

Needed, especially for Smoky: Reload time. :D

 

I will have fun with my Rico M2 with what is now stock M3 damage. B)

so is there any discounts in micro upgrades :D

Everything looks good and all but im really disappointed on railgun. I spent about 180k crystals on reload time, and I notice no difference! When I play against another m3 rail that isn't MUed (tested) it's the same! Very little difference. Why is that man?!?! You guys need to work on update on rail!

[MarineMan2 1,164]

This is so awesome!!!! Need I really say more?

[panamatriple 37]

LOL probably at Tanki-Bday here in 2 weeks!

[UnKnOwN_O.o 3]

Wow! Nice :)

Wait, now there will be massive buyers in 1st Lt. ranks with maxed out M2 Rico/Dictator with stats of m3. This would make the game a little bit broken, but good updates regardless.

A fully maxed out M2 Turret/Hull becomes M3 ONLY when one ranks up to the required rank when that particular M3 unlocks.

Hopefully there is a huge sale on micro upgrades that sale so I can have freeze m3 damage :)

Yes, definitely :)

 

Except you're too broke to do enough MU's :P

[OKDad70 862]

Well, looks good. I'm concerned how it will work out being able to continuously run microupgrades. May be okay. Probably will work out in the long run. May make for some significant imbalance for a while. It seems we have updated wiki pages, but the microupgrade pages are outdated. (For what I've checked so far.)

 

Greatly appreciate the extra microupgradable parameters.

Is it cheaper to directly update to the next m1-2-3 or to upgrade to it through MU?

[Amagi 1,728]

This is what I'm talking about:

For the same amount of crystals as before, you can now upgrade your turret and hull parameters right to the level of the next modification: a fully upgraded M2 will basically have the same parameters as a stock M3.

So it says that if you fully MU your Rico M2 at 1st Lt., It will basically have the stats of an M3 Rico, same goes to Dictator, or any other turret and hull in fact, giving you M3 Stats at M2 ranks.
