Do you think that turrets/hulls will become balanced with this update?

[Strikechard123 241]

Here you can see the new balance update: http://en.tankiwiki.com/Global_update_of_game_balance_for_Tanki_Online

 

Which turrets/hulls will become op/ok/up in your opinion?

 

 

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

No . I don't like it. The hulls are balanced as they are. Dictator is suppose to have more armor than Viking and Hunter and Mammoth is suppose to have more armor than Titan . I do like the thing of giving Light hulls more armor tho (totally not cuz i use Hornet M2 as my primary hull :ph34r: ) but i dont like the thing of all M3s unlocking at Marshal as it will totally screw up kits like with Healer unlocking at Colonial . Now its gonna unlock at the same thing as Legend. Major General. Which will give everyone lucky enough to have gotten Bulldozer. Ant. Centaur. Healer. And Huntsman. Which will give them an even BIGGER advantage then they already have

I think turrets will definitely be more balanced, but hulls are too balanced. Their main characteristics should be protection, not speed and weight. Making them all the same protection is definitely not the best idea I've ever heard.

i agree. Not evryone will probably just use Hunter cuase it has as much armor and Vik and Dico but is faster and more maneuverable

Hulls:

• Wasp: With equal health to Hornet, Wasp will become more popular. Prior to the separation of paints and modules (and the implementation of auto-protection in XP battles), BP was a popular pick in XP/BP battles since it could withstand 2 shots from Railgun, just like Hornet. It seems like it's a bit less popular now due to the removal of protection and chance of being one-shotted, but since it will have equal protection to Hornet, most players will want to use it
• Hornet: XP is still a classic combination, even in TX (where Wasp and Hornet are pretty similar health-wise), so I figure that this will still be popular at ranks where Wasp isn't easily available.
• Hunter: Alas, my favorite hull will be nerfed a lot. Its health and weight will be increased to roughly the level of the current Viking, but at the same time it will be slower than Viking, a whole 1 m/s slower than it is today. It no longer has an advantage in turning speed over Viking either, only being better in acceleration and some minor turning acceleration stats. The developers must really dislike Hunter...
• Viking: Even more popular and probably overpowered since it will have increased speed (9.5 m/s at M4), replacing Hunter's spot. The maneuverability seems like it will be increased, and while it will probably still be more difficult to drive than Hunter, its speed and stability would more or less compensate for that.
• Dictator: Made an extra 0.5 m/s faster, but the health has been nerfed considerably. The weight will be increased by quite a bit, but it will be a tad bit less maneuverable.
• Titan: Made significantly lighter, weaker, and a bit harder to handle. 0.5 m/s faster at M4.
• Mammoth: A whole 1 m/s faster at M4, bu this comes at the cost of a whopping 50 points of health to even it out with Titan. Also a lot lighter.

I expect to see even more Vikings post-update (as if it wasn't popular enough). Hunter and Dictator will be made pretty close to obsolete by the looks of it. Heavy hulls won't be so "heavy" anymore, and light hulls won't be so "light". Even the medium hulls have been slowed down (exception being Dictator).

We just got hosed again. My Viking and smoky are both nerfed. Mamy too. I just hate that tanki, because they are going broke very soon, keeps making money grabs that will not save them. The have nothing to offer anymore as there are much better games. So they run off more people and go out of business sooner because of their money hunger. I guess If I was to continue to play I would have to get a twins and insult everyone's intelligence like the other twins players.

Smoky is not nerfed badly In my pinion. 

 

The over-all update seems to be really really balanced with the pro's and con's. I have not got exact details of it, but I would say we should try out the mass test on the Test Servers before assuming or criticizing any bit.

[john-tanker-pro 1]

Tanki, I didn't expect that from you. I play Tanki 3 years and so long you have made so many good updates but now I see this. This update is the worst ever because this only helps tankers in ranks: Marshal field Marshall and Commander.My main account is brigadier and I was going to get thunder m3 but now it will take to me 1 year to get my first m3.Plz i beg you don't apply this update because I think it will destroy the balance of tanki.By the way I don't have problem with making bigger or lower the prizes in some turrets and hulls but plz dont make this update with the tanki balance.

Look from the bright side.

 

You were complaining how enemy Isida's are "annoying". But Isida will also be nerfed ;)

Now the isida is UP and the Thunder OP. ;)

Meh. I don't play with the Thunder as I used to. But who knows, after the "balance" maybe I will.

Yes it is. Critical damage was essentially cut in half.

Criticals really needed some nerfing.. They are way too OP right now. Just the reason I love it so much.

I'd agree even tho Smoky's my new favourite turret :p looks like I might want to get the Smoky Alteration...

[ramkk_the_crazy 3]

amk....Shaft is shafted...it is already the most unpopular in several popular maps. Many times, when you join a battle with the shaft, the same-team players try to chase you out of the team battles, which does not make it fun to continue playing.

 

Apart from that we already have very limited choices of maps to play, where you dont feel like uninvited, which itself makes the game sometimes boring. Now Shaft is made redundant and obsolete.

 

The developers should really read the chat lines to know how unpopular shaft is, now they made it even more unpopular.

I made a balance proposal for hulls: pls give it a read and give your feedback:

 

http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=281046&p=5788879

 

It is intended to improoves the hull diversity in the game, while the hulls should be balanced.

 

 

 

pls note that diversity and balance are two different things.

I could create a tankgame with 10 turrets, all perfectly balanced as noone is overpowered.

But 90% would run a single turret (low diversity).

Why? BEcause I advertise this game for boys, and I paint 9 out of 10 turrets pink... so guess what the boys will buy...

 

Balance is not diversity.

 

Tanki tries to solve hull-diversity-issues with un-balancing hulls (their proposed hunter is simply better then their proposed viking).

Hulls have to stay balanced in respect of "battlefield power"; but shall be diverse in other terms. The less "clearly prefferable" single tanks are, the more diverse the gameplay will be.

i just hate this update-_-

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

guess ima get thunder m2 at somepoint cuz isida wil be even wore than it is rn

[dan146_tanker 770]

Well, do I think turrets and hulls get rebalanced? Nope. I do not. I think that devs will be richer though. Also, this what they saud in the Vlog.... I'm starting to think Tanki WANTS us to leave. The Tanki staff at this point are become as intelligent as a tree. These updates support the Tanki devs and not the Tanki players.... The answer is so obvious.... Why do I even bother.....

[kayitsiz 621]

I have never seen a re-balance which brings perfect balance, like on any game.

 

It is better continuously changing some small stuff, which will make everything balanced at avarage, and add a taste of change and excitement.

 

Also, people would quit relying on OP weps by that way.

I doubt Viking has been nerfed too heavy, but rip mammy and smoky. We paid for that stuff, and they made it dysfunctional. So guess what?1?!/!/1!

 

It's a business tactic, this robbery

Yes it is. Critical damage was essentially cut in half.

Wow. I'm glad I got thunder, for it was buffed.

[Strikechard123 241]

I don't like these balance changes. After studying them, there a lots of weird things, such as viking changing with hunter, smoky critical is nerfed to oblivion, rip hammer, vulcan doing even more damage, etc...

[NANOBOT77 22]

The weirdest update yet!Tanki devs,seems you got another negative achievement!They're just preparing us for the alterations,which are pretty expensive in crys,so they make you spen MMOOONNNNEEEHHHYYYY!!!!!

[Metaphor 538]

I think hulls will be less unique and players will get bored of them being that way; this would leave a perfect opportunity for alterations to come into play ( if they add them to hulls) which will stink for those at the mid ranks who are saving up for kits, equipment, and modules ( I cannot stand modules either). I also think that XP/BP may not be as popular anymore since player's favorite combos will basically switch roles and the turret( railgun) is weird the way the devs plan to change it's characteristics. Do I think hulls will be more balanced? Yes, but I hate it and so does the majority of the people posting in forum about it.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

This is totally gonna ruin tanki. Twins is getting a Big buff . So is Thunder and Freeze. Twins is the last thing that needs a big buff. While Railgun is getting a HUUUUUGGGGGEEE nerf. Seriously.ill be lucky if my Railgun M2 can 1 shot a M0 Hornet !!
