I have been playing for 5 years :lol:

Multing obviously. :ph34r:

There are 8 kits at captain. 5 of them have came and only 3 remain. Firebolt, Guard and Northern. Considering that northern kit was present on 14 feb and hasn't came since, how much do you think there is chance for it to come?

Why are Micro-upgrades so expensive? The 1st one is cheap (only 75 crystals on 25% sale, 30 minute wait without speedups), but the 2nd one is way too high a price (Around 3.6k, even with 25% off sale, the speedup is over 6k). Also the time it takes to MU without speedups is way too long. 23 hours just for the 2nd upgrade. The next one will probably be around 3 days...

That is because developers have lowered the total mu steps from 50 to 10. In other words, 5 steps have been combined to make one. Dont worry though, their total price has been halved, so it is not expensice, it just looks like that. On another note, since they lowered the mu cost, they increased cost and time for one step to keep balance.

This is pretty hard question since no one knows the exact date of a specific kit because product kits work on a rotation and  they don't rotate in a specific order. They stay in the Garage for a certain period of time and then disappear until they are next put up, which normally isn't for a while so I guess you just have to wait till it shows up in your garage one day. 

 

But if the Northern kit was present on 14 Feb and hasn't  came back to the garage since than... if I might guess probably I would say in 5-10 days (in 2 rotations, either the next rotation or the one after it, my guess.)

From which rank on are you allowed to post on the forum? My friend called Hate1 says he can't post on the forum. He is a Gefreiter.

 

P.S. He wants to ask Hate why you stole his name!!!

From Master Sergeant, the 8th rank, this is to prevent spam accounts.

Is this a bug?

My magnum's max dmg is 1657 but it always does less than 1500 dmg even though the shot perfectly lands on the tank.

It happens with me too, so I don't think it's bug. It also depends on which module you are using.

Is Magnum a Gauss-curve weapon? If so you'll never do your max damage, but a value closer to the center, or average, between your min and max damage. 

 

But I don't know if this applies to Magnum. I really do not have enough experience to say.

 

Otherwise it's just the modules that the enemies are using. But the word "always" seems to contradict that.

How do we recieve a helper?

You need to apply for any helper position in this section of the forum: Becoming a Helper.

 

If you are talking about Helper paint, then that paint is only received by those who work hard in their respective helper areas. They are rewarded with this paint, a module etc. List of Best Helpers

It shots shells in parabolic trajectory that means if you want max range you'll have to fully charge your gun and get the angle fixed at 45°,The equation of the shell's trajectory can be deducted from these two equations:

 

+X=X₀ +V₀ cos(at)

+Y=Y₀ +V₀ sin(at) - gt²/2

 

As for damage, it can be reduced if the enemy has modules with protection against the gun itself

LOL I'm not talking about the trajectory. I'm talking about the damage distribution. A couple of months ago we determined that turrets don't always do their max damage within max damage range and the aforementioned statement was confirmed by Hazel-Rah. Instead they inflict a random damage value, which is more likely to be close to the center, or average, between the min and max damage. Weapons like this include Smoky and Thunder.

 

For Magnum the power of the shot does not affect the damage. And the guy asking mentioned that he NEVER inflicts his max damage.  The magnum stats aren't on the wiki yet but it's highly unlikely it has a "range of max damage" like most, given the purpose of the turret.

Yes, i just wanted to point that out :lol: (trajectory) as for the damage distribution it must be the same as rail's, as i think it dosen't get affected by range but rather it's a matter of probability..

How long usually does a ban for insults in the forum and inappropriate nicknames last?

It depends on the severity of the violation. And a lot of other factors, moreover bans are not to be discussed in public.

Yes, Magnum is a Gauss curve turret, so it's not a bug and the average damage is main figure. In a way it has infinite range, I mean you can easily shoot far beyond the maps. I expect that if you would put Magnum on 45 ° and 100 % you will probably have a far higher range than Striker. I can shoot with 22° and 85 % about from one side of Massacre to the other. Also an important point is that it quickly loses splash damage, because it has a weak splash damage of only 5 % at the splash area border.

When's the next MU sale? I plan to MU my Thunder M2 all the way to 10/10. Right now it's at 2/10, going to be 3/10 in 14 hours. Not using speed-ups because they're extremely expensive, unless there's another 75% sale on them (hopefully).

Sales are always unknown, and usually they are announced a couple of days before the sales start. Just keep your eyes peeled for new information about sales here in news and announcements, and keep watching the weekly V-Logs.

The next sale according to previous years will occur on May day, you can expect some sales around that time.

This was last year sale: May Holidays are here!

I got this question from my friend: If i want to but a kit from the shop, but that kit contain an equipment already bough, so i will get any discounts because of that?

No, you won't receive any discounts.

​I bought a pack of crystals with my shopko gift card. I had a double crystal card. I bought the 19.99 pack of crystals. In the description of it, it said 60000 crystals and to the right it says "30000 crystals free!" My question is why wasn't the extra 30K included in my purchase? I only received 60K. If you are not going to give me the extra "free" 30K, why include it in the description? Please don't scam me out of my money. I sent you guys a complaint and the response was "When you make a payment using a gift card, you get that sum of crystals that is shown at the final stage of the payment process.
Unfortunately, you can not get any other crystals or presents." But it showed the dang "free" 30K but I did not get it. Anyways, all I am asking is if you guys don't give the "free" crystals don't have them in the description.

The wording is slightly confusing, you were actually buying 30K and received 30K free for a total of 60K.
