Let's Discuss Augments

[Tani_S 736]

What???? That's nuts. 

1 - I paid crystals for my alteration. 

2. Overdrives can't possibly replace what the alterations do.

What overdrive will give me what MFS does for my Ricco?  I use it 100% of the time on Ricco.

Just relax  :) Riddler asked about M3 alterations, so that what I wrote is only applied on the originally planned M3 alterations and not for the M0-M2 alterations.

I am a forum mod in the German community and received the helper paint + module by my activity there.

 

Anyway, let's return to the topic please.

Ok, here are the stats after using the "Faster Horizontal Tracking" and "High Caliber Ammo" alterations on an M4 Railgun.

 

Min Dmg: 1120

Max Dmg: 2240

Reload: 6 sec

Rotation 121.5 deg/s

 

Tanki says that these alterations shouldn't change gameplay, but holy sh*t. Using Double Damage, an M4 Railgun wielding these alterations with a skilled player at the trigger has just become the new God of Tanki Online. You can't out run him, you can beat his reload but good luck beating him in a damage trade. Tanki really needs to rethink these things and check the stats of turret before they release game changing alterations like this...

I'm shaking in fear of what the M3 Alterations will be. Probably more damage increases at turret rotation cost or worse.

It should be +30% damage and +40% reload.

I want to buy M1 Smokey Alt. for this acc: titaniumdestroyer. Is it worth it? Not in all circumstances of course, but if there are a ton of railguns :D. Danger :excl: Troll time!

[Beowulf 0]

How bad is the vertical aiminf? I plan on getting it when I get tornado kit.

 

 

Also guys for railgun when I have enough cry, I'm probably going to sget consistency alteratioj which does more or less same damage each shot. This is because I don't really like luck. Good idea?

So,  after using this for a few more days, I just about only use the horizontal tracking alt on Desert.  Otherwise, I think the benefits of the increased vertical aiming probably off-set the decreased tracking speed, though perhaps not by much.  

[TakeAShower 300]

Are developers planning to add Magnum and Striker alterations too?

 

*recommend minus field stabilization alteration. I am using it all the time when playing with ricochet.

Magnum and Striker alts would be good. I have posted a couple of my ideas for them in "Ideas for Alterations"

So... I guess Isida then gets no useful alterations.  :(

 

The mythical "Isida trains" aside, the huge reduction in damage is just not worth the increase in healing.

Full ack. The damage decrease should be reduced to make it useful. In addition to the current situation, Viking's overdrive makes the whole advantage of the alteration useless and just keeps the disadvantage during its activation time  -_-

. For someone who uses railgun almost exclusively, I think it is worth it. Otherwise, crystals probably better spent elsewhere.

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

Rico m1 alt? I plan on getting it.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Rico m1 alt? I plan on getting it.

If that's the Minus Field Stabilization (long-range) alt then definitely get.  Purchased at same time as my m3 Ricco and have not taken it off since.

[JaafarXX 2]

I wonder if striker and magnum will get alterations?

[omarhero1 401]

Any thoughts on firebird's M2 alteration ?

I've tried it out in the test server but not long enough to judge it fairly.

I just think the energy overall consumption is too fast !

Is it worth the trade-off ?

i only tested stock m2, but i think burning effect for m4 is significantly longer.

i would say buy 1 MU for all equipment you need in halloween sale, and if anything is left over, then buy the alteration.

50% MU discounts are super-rare, while alteration discounts keep coming.

If any of you guys are doubting M2 firebird alteration, doubt no more ;)

 

So, first things first. My client seems to keep on loading forever each time I press play, and it's been like this for a week. Somehow, my FPS drops to 20 from 60 when I'm on browser, and it's way harder to play like this. Also lag seems to get a bit worse due to other processes in my browser.

Anyway :D

 

First battle I joined:

 

 

 

 

 

I joined late but still a good score nonetheless :3 Second battle:

 

 

 

 

This was a full battle, and though my score wasn't the highest, I had a good D/L and the most kills from my team :D (and in the whole game, except for that drugging mammy shaft -_-) There are a couple of things I want you to notice.

 

1) No drugs were used. At all. Everyone else had the option to drug and most of them did aswell. You can compare my drugs from the first screenshot to the second, you'll only find 1 less DA due to a gold :P (which I missed, in case you were wondering xD)

2) My firebird was pretty much stock M3, just a couple of MUs on it (about 2/3)

3) I must admit, my advantage was Viking M4. It played a crucial role, especially that extra health that gave me a bit more chance to make sure opponents got sprayed for a tad longer and ended up getting killed after :3

4) Despite still having a good D/L, I had the highest amount of kills from my team. The DPS is a bit low while you're alive, but the DPS after stays for quite a long time after you die, so much that made it possible for having the highest kills too.

 

These 2 battles were basically 2 of my first few battles with firebird, so it's obviously very easy to handle. It seems like a lovely alteration, which I assume will get nerfed soon.... Well, I'll make sure my firebird keeps getting MUed till then, I'm beginning to love this :D

[wolverine848 13,097]

So... striker has been around for a while.  Any alterations forth-coming?

 

Would like to see"Basic Rockets".

- Unguided = no lock-on needed to fire slavo. Hold Space-bar for ~ 3 seconds and all 4 launch in straight line.

- Less quality = -15% dmg (direct hit & Splash)

- No laser

I have an M2 Rail with both the faster horizontal tracking and the high-caliber ammo. At first I was not sure if the faster horizontal tracking was worth it but now my turret feels sluggish without it. Having this alteration is a must. You can simply drive past other tanks, whip your turret around and nail them before they have time to think. Sometimes I do miss a really high or low shot because of the minimized auto aim but this can be easily fixed by rocking if you have a lighter hull. Overall I love it even completely ignoring the fact you can get your target lined up faster. I have played tanki for several years and really appreciated the skill of railgun. With the rebalance beginning of this year they changed that and now it finally is back to its former glory. I thought having the alteration would slow down gameplay but it hasn't, instead it drastically increased my k/d just because I was able to get kills easier even though it took longer. It is amazing even though it has the same dps. It just fits my playstyle perfectly. Now for my opinion on some other alterations. The Minus Field Stabilization one for Rico is way overpowered it drives me nuts. I do not use the turret, but as soon as I see that someone has that alteration they become so much more formidable. You can't run, and you can't fight it's stupid. One final thing, I would love it if they made a faster horizontal tracking alteration for Shaft, but more importantly I would love there to be some sort of "Low-caliber ammo" alteration for shaft. One that would decrease damage and reload time kinda like an opposite of the one for railgun. I really enjoyed playing with that turret during the beginning of this year (2017).

And imagine how much faster it will turn when you activate a speed boost.

[enkindle 12]

According to the first post, which is very old, it's possible to equip M1/M2 alterations at the same time. I wonder, is this still possible?

[enkindle 12]

Why would it not be possible?

Nothing good lasts forever, things get nerfed (and this feature could be one of them) and not everything makes sense in this game *Magnum*

I just wanted to be sure it's still possible because I'm interested in both Firebird alterations. If I could use only one at a time, I would buy Compact Tanks only. Yeah, I understood nothing's changed.

[Re-old-railgun 81]

So tanki spilted 50% from railgun DMG and putted it in to a alt cost 100k ? This mean to buy a complete railgun you need to buy rail gun which cost 96k and its spilted DMG (altretion) which mean 200k ? And railgun nerffed on all of this ? Unfair .
