Caution!! This Alternation does NOT increase your average damage.

There is no change to the average damage, although the different % for min and max might make you think that.

Take my Rail M2 for an example:

 

Currently:

min 88.8 / max 136.3

current average = 112,550

 

now lets modify the parameters:

min 88.8 +23% = 109.224  / max 136.3 -15% = 115,885

New Average = 112,539 (Same!!!)

Overall, I think this first round of alterations have been very well thought out in terms of balance.  I was worried that there would be trade-offs on insignificant attributes in favor of better damage and that as a result, all players would just amp up damage.  I don't see that with this batch (well, maybe Firebird).  Most of these have me thinking deep thoughts on whether the trade off are worth it.  The pricing seems ok, but I really hope it scales back by modification level as a M0 player could never afford what I'm being shown - but I don't really care since I will never play M0 again.  Bottom line - well done.

 

I'm looking forward to the remaining three alterations before deciding on which to buy.  Recommend others wait and see too.

 

I also don't care about the supply kit change.  I bought when I saw the timer, so now I have plenty.  The 100 kit at 50% off is fine for those who missed out.  'nuff said.

Glad you're enjoying alterations. AS far as M0 goes, the only alterations what will be available at that rank are purely aesthetic.

 

Also is the 100k crystal payment permanent or is it like rent..you might want to clarify it so we know if its worth using crystals for it..

When you buy the alteration it remains in your garage. You can choose to enable or disable it, but it will remain yours.

it is permanent.

But you dont know how they change the parameters of you alternation later on, as those alternations lead to balance issues. They are now in the game and will be watched.. and most likely changed and tweaked afterwards.

 

In example the Vulcan change is rediculous powerfull.. you acn not outmanouver Vulcans any more, while they can deliver more damage on the battlefield (the can sway from one targets to the other faster). They just have to play on usefull maps, where theire sacrificed shooting angle makes no change.

Yes, when you buy it, it stays in your garage forever, and you can switch it on and off.

Are you sure it will stay in the garage forever ? if i buy fire m2 alteration and after i rank i buy fire m3 can i use the alteration i bought or it will be disabled because at m3 there is going to be another type of alteration ,if is like that i will not bother to pay 100 k now ,i will wait and buy the m3 alteration .

In other words, the rail alteration is useless? I have M4 rail, and thus still deciding whether is this alteration is worth it...

It's a DOWNDATE, not an Update. It's the opposite of an update. It has made it worse instead of actually improving things.

Because there are more Alterations coming in the near future. All turrets will have 4 alterations available:

  1. The first one is unlocked at M0 level
  2. The second one is unlocked at M1 level
  3. The third one is unlocked at M2 level
  4. The fourth one is unlocked at M3 level

 

I believe that this is not corect, i have fire m2 and i have the same type of alteration as someone who has fire m3 .In my opinion there is going to be 4 types of alterations for each turret at every M modification(m0,m1,m2,m3) with the same specifications

 

It is for Firebird M3 tho

Mr. Debono

 

 Your way of thinking is wrong , once a drugger always a drugger.. in other means .. a buyer they will continue to buy crystals and drugs .. no win there its conman sense to understand .. its like someone who continues to smoke and is told his life is on the line , most chain smokers wont stop .. they will continue until its too late ..

 

there is no way around players who drug .. we talked about this for sometime in the idea/ suggestion section about it... to me i would like to see the strength of the drugs lowered and the timer length extended to make the use of them shorter but the   waiting time longer to load the next drugs ..also  , for the drop ones  also lower the level and extend the timer so it takes longer to wait to load another drug..this would slow the use down and also tanki cut back on giving drugs and increase the crystals , most players would rather have crystals to buy items / hulls and turrets and things ,instead of drugs...

 

just idea to float around ...i have said this before ..seeing I'am a drugger and a buyer as you are aware of this...

It is not useless, but the first thing I thought when I saw it was:

"oh the min value increase more them max.. so the average is going up! And all I have to sacrifice is a little max damage, that I anyways get only rarely" - and this is not the case.

 

The modification is usefull as you can assure the number of hits for hulls.

Past:

  • Rail M4 vs Vikings M4: you _usually_ 2shot a Viking M4.. but there was a small chance that he survivded the second shot (you had two low-damage shots - very unlikely, but possible)
  • Rail M4 vs Hornet M3+:

    If your shot dealt "little above average damage" you had a pretty good chance to 1shot this hull

With Alternation:

  • Rail M4 vs VViking M4: You 2shot him for sure, as there are no low-damage shots any more
  • Rail M4 vs Hornet M3+:

    As there is no "little above average damage" shot any more, you will most likely have to 2shot him.

 

As you see more vikings then Hornets in High tier battles, it may make sense there. Then you can count on something

Are the alterations rank locked or something?

They show up on some of my M1s on some accounts, but I can't look at all of them.

There is currently only one alteration for every turret, and I think M0 has none at the present moment.

An update just means they altered the software, the name doesn't mean they improved it like 'upgrade', it just means they altered it.
