Completed Keep protection modules of other players always showing up

[RIDDLER_8 5,556]

We all know how to display protection modules by pressing R + ALT.

My suggestion is to have a setting in the Settings menu where players can always show the display of protection modules of other players in Tanki Online.

This will stop the continuous annoyance of pressing R + ALT on the keyboard and it will also help other players who plays Tanki Online on mobile, tablets, where there are no keyboard.

By having protection modules always displayed, players will find it easier to manage and choose turrets where players does not have a protection from. For example, some players will make an easy kill by attacking enemies that does not have a Railgun protection.

The ability to permanentally display protection modules of other players (in the settings menu) can help out players who finds it hard to make kills.

This suggestion can make good use of those players that players Tanki Online without access to a physical keyboard with proper function keys.

The settings menu must include the ability for players to display protection modules of other players when joining or creating a new battle. That feature can also be turned off in the settings menu.

I guess that could be an option, but I don't see why you'd need to know all the details about your enemies ALL the time. I mean, you already see the protection from the turret you have equipped, while the M levels, the MUs and module details are secondary information.

good idea

[RIDDLER_8 5,556]

Sometimes I face players that are strong, fast moving and well protected by their modules. It is a good idea, to have an option in the Settings menu where players can have modules always showing up when the option is turned on. This helps other players by making them change their turret to attack the enemy. Changing the turret would allow players to attack the enemy, where he does not have a protection module against that specific turret. That is the reason why it is a good idea to have modules always show up by turning on a button in the Settings menu.

There's also the option that you can hold down R or V and click outside whatever window you're using, either the client or the online version. After you click the desktop you can release R or V and click your Tanki window again and the protection and MUs stay up all the time, even when you die.

Or in the battle list while outside in the chat room they could put a current turret symbol next to the name.

I think it's better to show it in the score board. If one player has protection against you, it won't make a difference in team battles all the way up to 3 players having protection against you. But if more than half the enemy team has protection against you, then it would be best to change weapons. And putting all the info inthe score board would be better and it won't affect your gameplay too much.

Modules of all opponents should be visible at the same time. By pressing R key we can't see all modules, so it doesn't helps in choosing turret.

By the way, you just stolen my idea.

 

When modules were in testing stage, devs decided to show all protections in Tab menu. But then they changed the idea and added R key to see specs of nearby tanks.

 

So now I can only see protections from my current turret. To find out how many players have protection against specific turret I would have to take several rounds of whole map while pressing R and still I won't be able to see all modules.

 

We should have ability in battle to see all modules at the same time or total protection from all turrets in Tab menu or another menu. For example:

 

Red team's total protection
Freeze: 69

Thunder: 150

Railgun: 290

etc...

 

This is how they decided to show protections in Tab menu (Pic from Vlog 97)

 

This will remove that awkward moments when you change the turret and see that almost all the players have solid protection against you. That moment I simply rejoin the battle because I can't play 5 minutes with that turret.

 

 

It happens with me almost everyday that I realize after changing turret, opponents have too much protection against me and I can't do anything.

And because of this I have stopped playing with some turrets like Firebird, Railgun because I assume that they would have much protection even they don't actually have.

 

 

 

 

How do you feel when you change turret, your score is more than 1K and you see these protections?

I do understand that pressing the R + ALT key displays protection modules of other players during the whole round, but the problem is, the modules showing up can hide again when pressing tab, or when the round is over. My suggestion is to have a setting in the Settings Menu where players can choose to either always show modules or always hide them.

 

The option to show and hide modules will still be available by pressing the R + ALT key.

There is no need to waste the devs time, just don't be lazy and press R.

[RIDDLER_8 5,556]

I am not lazy. When a battle finishes, the R + ALT command that displays protection modules to be on all the time, then turns off when the round is over or when pressing tab.

[RIDDLER_8 5,556]

Pressing R + ALT keys keeps protection modules turned on, but when pressing the chat or tab buttons in battles turns off the display of protections.

Is nobody going to talk about that Field Marshal with a GS of 4045?  :ph34r:

Thanks you so much Maf for marking this suggestion of mine as completed.
