New balance changes and other features

[Zenyth 6,494]

Self-destruct function

 

The self-destruct time has been reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds so you don’t have to wait too long to get back into battle.

Sweet!

 

Equipment change in battle

 

The minimum waiting time between equipment changes in battle has been increased from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

Just right!

 

Show damage

 

This feature can be toggled on and off in the setup page.

Excellent!

 

Game mode Dictator+Railgun

 

For this format, the M3 Railgun will be automatically equipped with a special Alteration that increases its damage and slows down its reload.

 

Additionally, M2 Dictators will be automatically equipped with a special defense module to make them competitive.

Excellent!

The developers who messed up all the hulls and most turrets should get fired for ruining Tanki Online.

[Mr.Ace 1,116]

No One wanted this update NO ONE, except for of course the Devs..

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The only good and positive update is on the Freeze turret. Before, Freeze wasn't very strong or effective, but now Freeze is now perfectly effective and has the right strength. Good job on the Freeze update. I am impressed. Many thanks.

isida used to be competive equipment but now its a utterly useless piece of junk which you may as well remove from the garage hence hardly any1 will be using it anymore i have 16 m4's which you have nerferd every1 im not happy at all an yes i did buy before this update will i ever again probably not i have 7 profiles which i used isa on every1 5 of which i probably will now longer play on really whats the point isa was my main turret you reduce the self heal to 10 points even a m0 wasp an fire took out my m4 isa an viking some of your ideas are good but you didnt think this 1 through at all its no wonder this game is dying you can kill this but you may as well kiss your tanki x goodbye also drive us buyers away we will just find another game to spend money on 1 which doesnt have staff thats trying to kill the game

[Lethal_Injection 586]

Is anyone else here experiencing a glitch that came with the update where, if you are playing in a battle and new people join, those new people are completely invisible to you and you cannot damage them even though they can kill you?

[destroyer93_lucky 59]

I probably annoy fellow tankers commenting often that twins is fun. I divorced my twins. Twins aint fun no mo!

 

Well, to be generous, it is worse than I worried. Yes, really, it is worse than I feared.

twins is better its causing more damage i dont know what u r talking about the only and the only thing i hate about this update is the rail nerf

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Twins is slow at firing but it is stronger on the max damage.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I am happy that Mammoth drives faster but I am not happy about the weaker armor it now have. Mammoth should both have more armor as well as more speed.

[LickMyneckbeard 14]

OK played it.

 

this update is a steaming pile of crap.

 

you have ruined hornet. you have ruined hammer. you have ruined isida, you have ruined viking. I have nothing else in my main account for you to ruin now.

 

I have just seen a map with a bunch of a-holes in wasp with firebird running about like a pack of cheap losers getting pathetic cheap kills from their ridiculously overpowered and over armoured kit.

 

Now wasp has the same armour as hornet there is no point having hornet so my m4 hornet is a complete waste of crystals.

 

now firebird is even MORE OP, and hammer is nerfed I can't even 1:1 against a firebird wasp with my m4 hammer. My M4 hammer can't kill an m4 wasp fast enough to stop their M4 firebird from cooking me. so m4 hammer is now a complete waste of crystals.

 

this would have been a great April 1 joke. but since it's not april 1, goodbye.

 

Get your resume up to date and some references ready, tanki employees.. this ship is going DOWN.

[OKDad70 862]

Well, my Ricosck account isn't significantly different. Also, the stinkin isidas are just as annoying as ever. Isida stink. Isida in DM reek of dishonor. Self-healing in DM is just wrong. Tanki should not allow it. DM should simply not allow isida turret mounted.

 

Ricochet and dictator didn't change enough to notice. It is still a relatively overpowered combination.

 

I mourn that I must now wait longer to get viking M3, and it will be such a slug compared to before the update. Sad.

 

Still, Ricos Suck! (If you can't beat 'em; join 'em.)

 

Oh, and use or lose. The isida was popping health packs like candy. He managed to stay just ahead of me the entire match. (Ricosck is always low on health packs, so he didn't have any to use in counter.)

The last five years since they started to balance/rebalance/debalance

/undebalance/reundebalance...(if you don't know what is this mean

don't worry they don't know as well) development team is trying to ruin

the game but this is a successful disaster. With my Viking who gave

the reliability, stability and speed I got stupid "hornet" which only know

to dance and skate like I am on ice. It is so bad Viking rebalance that

I can not control anymore tank. This is not what I want from the tank.

I am frustrated. And If they don't rebalance this debalance I will only

do the mission job.

The freez before was too weak but know is too strong.

Isida ruined. Isida before was too strong now is too weak.

Smoky is too weak that if you turn tank on a side you can not return to

normal.

Viking... I just said.

Twins almost always stuck in some position like he is glued and I must

let go all buttons push ESC twice and then I can play, IF I am not killed

till then. Twins don't exist like weapon any more. If that was the intent?

Changing equipment 5 minutes Halo is anybody there?

 

This is for now.

First, I aint M4 yet. It shoots SLOW!!! Worse, it spins like it is stuck in molasses in February. I can't get the turret spun to a target to save my life, literally! Twins simply is a pedantic annoyance now. Totally ruined.

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

Who is with me for the funeral?!

[OKDad70 862]

Twins is slow at firing but it is stronger on the max damage.

Twins is just slow! The loss of turn acceleration ruined it. Ruined it!

:D

As promised in the past few V-LOGs, this update brings with it 4 days of 30% discount on supplies, and 50% additional battle funds. The sale and additional battle funds will be in the game till Monday 24th at 02:00 UTC.

[Tomas_cz 63]

 

Cedric, please advise where can I read more info about Alterations changes ("Alterations — Changes to reflect the changes in turret parameters"). At the moment, my "broadband emitters" alteration seems to be the same as before.

I don't think there are any changes to Alterations just yet (I may be wrong).

Battle fund is increased? I cannot tell.

 

Didn't the vlog say sale? 30% off supplies that I never buy is no sale.

 

Supplies sale just confirms, use or lose.

 

Please. At least sale the MUs.

 

As is, no fun. None of this is fun, at least not for the high ranks, unless maybe they have unlimited budget for supplies.

[Taco 2,820]

Will take some getting used to, but it seems fine, I like how my M4 railgun reloads fast, freeze has been greatly improved as well, I'll be using that more often for sure.  :D

[OKDad70 862]

Alt-account Riconot has fully MUd M1 firebird, and 9/50 M2 hornet. I cannot say I can tell the difference, other than the hornet being obviously a bit more squirrelly, not as stable. Drifting is different but should be easy to get used to. It gets knocked off course easy.

 

I use freeze and hammer some on that account. I haven't tried those yet. I'll write about those after more time.

 

I still think the update is bad. I think it has changed the nature of the game. I think it levels skill, making it easier on poor players and less advantages for those who have developed skills and specializations. It mostly makes it no fun for my M3 equipment. Everything seemed just slug and plug, especially since most of the tanks seemed to be heavies, and most of the turrets were thunder.

 

Maybe people will adapt. Maybe things will come round. It seems like it isn't too adverse for the low ranks. There is small hope, but it is hard to be optimistic. 

[MentallyDeranged 740]

Railgun now officially changed to be hide 2 kill gun,ops ops ops

 

Btw 3 shots to kill hornet m2 with 30 protection,ok
