Tesla

Exothermic lightning, Endothermic lightning, Superconducting discharge, Shocking lightning, Armour-piercing discharge — now all these augments work the same way, applying different status effects. Augments add ricochet ability to ball lightning and an ability to apply status effect on critical hit and with ball lightning. Maximum radius for applying status effect with ball lightning decreased from 8 to 5 metres.

Exothermic lightning

Heating coefficient decreased from +1 to +0.4

Shocking lightning

Status effect duration decreased from 2 to 1 second

Armour-piercing discharge

Status effect duration increased from 2 to 5 seconds

Jamming discharge

Each shot applies the «Jammer» status effect.

Status effect duration decreased from 7 to 3 seconds

Scorpion

Range of max damage decreased from 120-150 to 80-100 metres.

Range of min damage decreased from 180-210 to 120-150 metres.

All Pulsar augments now decrease critical hit chance by 30% instead of 50%.

A new augment for Scorpion has been added to Ultra Containers — «Cryo Shells»

(Note) This augment applies «Freezing» status effect on critical hits and rocket salvos

Hammer

Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

Twins

Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

Ricochet

Range of min damage increased from 40-50 to 50-60 m.

Smoky

Projectile speed decreased from 350-350 to 300-350 m/sec.

(Note) Previously all modifications had the same value — 350. Now Mk1 has 300 and MkMAX has 350. Players quite often confuse this writing of parameters with a spread of possible values, as if it would be a random value from this range. We no longer use random values from ranges, now this writing always means that the first number is a value for Mk1 and the second value is a value for MkMAX

«Rubberized Rounds» augment

Projectile speed increased by 100%

«Sorted Ammunition» augment

Reload time decreased by 10%

Striker

«Stunning Missiles» augment

Duration of the «Stun» status effect applied by a critical hit is increased from 1 to 1.5 s.

Duration of the «Stun» status effect applied by a rocket salvo is decreased from 1 to 0.8 s.

«Armor-Piercing Missiles» augment

Duration of the «Armor-Piercing» status effect applied by a critical hit is increased from 5 to 9 s.

Duration of the «Armor-Piercing» status effect applied by a rocket salvo is decreased from 5 to 3 s.

(Note) We would like to try having differentiated status effect duration for equipment that have multiple ways of applying status effects - randomly and guaranteed.

A new augment for Scorpion has been added to Ultra Containers — «Cryo Shells»

(Note) This augment applies «Freezing» status effect on critical hits and rocket salvos

Hammer

(Note) Previously all modifications had the same value — 350. Now Mk1 has 300 and MkMAX has 350. Players quite often confuse this writing of parameters with a spread of possible values, as if it would be a random value from this range. We no longer use random values from ranges, now this writing always means that the first number is a value for Mk1 and the second value is a value for MkMAX

I was thinking with alot turrets with pulsar augment now; perhaps drones can help survive better when you get pulsar'd.

Would Mechanic or Hyperion drones help (by reducing repair kit time) and if you have jammer immunity?

That twins pulsar is deadly; it is so risky to confront one face to face...so messy... heh

Jammer immunity won't be necessary if you equip Hyperion as it is entirely passive. I believe (could be wrong) that Mechanic's decrease of RK cooldown isn't affected by Jammer. Jammer will only stop it from sharing and boosting healing power.

As for your idea in general, I suppose one lucky RK may save you from a critical hit. Funnily enough, one player actually survived 3 Pulsar crits from me throughout a battle by scoring 3 lucky RKs, all used every time I got a critical hit on him. But in general the cooldown isn't reduced enough for you to use any more than that in a 1v1 against Pulsar Twins. What Jammer Immunity + Mechanic can do is increase your survivability as you'll be able to take advantage of the boosted instant heal; the downside being that you have to wait out the EMP/Stun so time it carefully. As for Hyperion, the inherent cooldown reduction means that if you survive a fight, you'll be able to heal up much sooner after and/or heal up in the middle of an interaction even if you already used one before entering the fight. In my opinion, both of these drones' boost to RK cooldown are more effective at helping you recover after a Pulsar 1v1 rather than really majorly changing the interaction itself.

Virtual points went from 30 (at max) to 6. Cooldown was reduced from 15 seconds to 3. It was a huge decrease in the overall effect. Assault had the same nerf that day with its maximum cooldown reduction and drone cooldown being reduced to 5 seconds and 3 seconds respectively. Fizzika, an adamant user of the drone at that time also expressed how terrible the new Assault was.

https://ru.tankiforum.com/topic/295586/

Booster users went through a similar thing last year. Their drone was being nerfed with many turrets and augments. The BIG difference here is that Booster went from being a top-tier drone to just a good drone. Driver and Trooper went from being good drones to bad drones. Assault months later got raised back up to where it was before the nerf, adding the innate decrease to the boosted damage supply, but got an additional supply consumption because of that.

I've seen this mentioned by many people. May I ask how a decrease in cooldown is a nerf to it?

The template of Driver and Assault went from a high boost with a moderate cooldown, to a very small boost with a short cooldown in that patch. To activate the drone you have to destroy an enemy tank. Every time you died you'd practically have the drone available to activate when you respawned. A player that got 3 kills across 3 minutes with the pre-nerf Driver would have gained 135 points' worth of Overdrive charge. With the post-nerf Driver, they would have gotten 63 points' worth of Overdrive charge.

The rework was both a large effective nerf and it killed its performance for casual players of the drone. In order to even attempt to recoup what you lost overnight, you'd have to be getting a kill every 3 seconds, CONSTANTLY. To give some more perspective, the drone still costed 1,000,000 crystals to upgrade back then. You spent a million crystals for your drone to do almost nothing. You didn't have the extremely powerful ability of using Boosted Armour and Boosted Damage immediately after the other like many drones do today. You didn't have increased damage or armour to help you get those kills. You had to fight against protection modules and the many overpowered Boosted and Defender users, and anyone else who was hard to kill. The majority of fast overdrive charging back then came from gaining points in battles. You might as well have upgraded a meta drone that allowed you to do that with kills and capturing objectives easier.

A comparison with a recent change would be if Tesla went from dealing 4,000 damage per tick with a 2.0 second cooldown to dealing 600 damage per tick with a 0.66 second cooldown.

With the subsequent changes across the months, Driver would be even further devalued by the manual charge of hulls being significantly decreased, the passive charge being decreased, other drones getting buffed, and the continued release of Jammer augments on turrets and Jammer applications from ODs, the Nuclear Energy Supply introduction and Driver's upgrade price and unlock rank being lowered (and still overpriced) to justify this. Driver is dead and it's likely not coming back.

Assault nerf reaction from Fizzika:
