Valid Medic icon for friendly Isidas

Here

huh...

That's debatable. Sure, a team full of Isidas will be strong but so is a team with effective Magnums, Shafts, Thunders, Railguns, etc. I don't think your argument really has any weight to it, no offence.

You run into a 4 man team with 2 isis in it, you need a truck load of firepower to get over that and try to stay alive at the same time.  Those three can annihilate most other teams with relative impunity.  You end up trying to kill the healer of the healer, and getting hit by everything in between

Improving the Isida"s ability to heal is to op  and is out of the question. But when other players are need of quick recharge its usually hard for them to track down the Isida while low on health. The why we should create a signal that floats over the Isida tank that shows everyone in the team and only team battle where they are. This of course can not be seen by other enemy tanks. The improvement will be a quick glance at the SHIFT key that activates the Isida"a location by showing a huge green cross over the tank. Exception, this can not be seen by all of the clan if u press SHIFT. Thanks for reading and considering!

I know this suggestion is already under consideration, but I'd like to make a revision, if I may.

 

With the advent of alterations, this can change the Isida's role in battle. With the idea of the medic icon in mind:

 

Broadband reactors....Medic symbol

Support Nanobots....Medic symbol

Nanomass Reactor...No Medic symbol. Energy consumption is +50% making it impractical to use as healing since it would take the same amount to heal as it would to destroy an enemy tank. With the Nanomass Reactor, the Isida is no longer a healer but rather an attacker the same as all the other turrets. 

 

I've been (while playing my alt acc) on one side of the map healing 2, 3, 4, tanks while another player on the far side is accusing me of multing. If I had a Medic Icon, maybe the other teammates would see I'm not multing, hiding, goofing off, etc. all of which I've been accused of, which is as far from the truth as it can be.

But the Isida may get overwhelmed if the whole team suddenly comes over wanting healing. And then there'll be people following the Isida around demanding healing...not sure if I want my whole team doing this to me :D

So maybe add an option in settings to turn it on or off.

It goes like this: Currently the team with more Isidas has an advantage over the other team. If Tanki makes it easier for players to find their own team's Isidas, this advantage will be greater.

This is not s greater advantage-this is just like a tank might want to see where the 'goal of the game is'-I want to see my goal!

I think the icon should look a little something like this:

That would NOT work since:

So it would have to be large enough to see from far-and not just part of the icon.

Perhaps they can make the medic symbol brighter and/or larger on Support Nanobots Isidas. 

 

 

Are you talking about the time it takes for each action? A 50% increase in the offensive beam's energy consumption would be equal to the Isida having 4 seconds of attack instead of 6. A 50% increase in the healing beam's energy consumption would be equal to the Isida having 8.3 seconds of healing instead of 12.5. The healing process of a Nanomass Reactor Isida isn't as impractical as it may seem. 

Yes, it turns into primarily an attacker but it can also heal and should not neglect their teammates if there are no enemies around to utilise the alteration's effects.

Status changed to Valid.

 

Although I personally disagree with the idea. Most of the time knowing the location of an Isida is pretty useless. I can tell you that most of the time if I'm injured and I can already see an Isida not too far away, often I ignore it and simply let myself get killed, since respawning with full health and ready supplies is more effective than chasing the Isida, getting healed, and being useless with all supplies stuck on cooldowns.

This seems like a great idea, id love to see this in the game!!

When I first started using Isida (alt account) I did some research on gameplay, attack, etc. One of the things a guide pointed out was to wear a paint that makes you more visible to your teammates so they can find you quicker, but also cautioned that you will also be more visible to the enemy as well. That guide has since been replaced and mentions nothing about being more visible to your teammates. 

 

With that in mind, I usually use a highly visible paint like Space Invaders, Zebra, Lava. With an icon, I would wear something less visible like paints in the black, green or gray range.
