Exactly how I felt  :lol:

Hull alterations would be better, like:

 

- Stronger armor plates (heavier) that affects speed (slower)

- Lighter aremor plates (lighter) that affects speed (faster)

- Off road tracks with more traction, less drift and better control, but slower. 

- On road tracks with more drift, less traction and higher speed, but hard to control.

More Complication, don't we already have enough  :blink:

I think it would be simple, two options for tracks and two for armor plates. I you don't have crystal or don't want complications you use stock equipment that have average stats. No engine alterations because that would benefit buyers too much.

That would really defeat the point of the current hull classes. By equipping "stronger armor plates" you could make your Viking into a Hunter.

Turrets already do this. COUGH Thunder-Smoky COUGH

I think this has something to do with Tanki's birthday ?  :ph34r:

Think on the possibilities for non-buyers, if you only have a Viking and you're defending the flag, wouldn't you sacrifice speed for stronger plates? Or sacrifice armor in exchange for more speed?

 

And for Parkour lighter plates as well.

I’m not so sure. At least I’m not sure it will be a temporary-event-only thing like the meteors were. Seeing that these things can be micro-upgraded makes me think they will be a permanent add to the game.

 

This will give Legends something besides MUs to spend crystals on. That should drum up interest from Veteran players.

 

Low and Mid ranks will have a bit of a problem stretching their income to cover yet another garage purchase and MU path.

 

10 min battles may help or hurt. So much has changed with this game recently, it’s hard to predict how this will play out.

Such a GENIUS idea. Just imagine M4 Hornet with 2250 health, it would be so cool. Time for Hornet/Viking Shaft players to rule the game. Mammoth Firebird combo would be finally playable and light Dictators would catch every gold box. That would be so fun, it must be added to the game for SURE.

 

Possible health for M4 with alt

Light hulls-1750/2250

Medium hulls-2625/3375

Heavy hulls-3500/4500

[r_Kirby4 358]

I don't think these are going to work out, even being successful in one, doesn't mean it will be in the other game. Other thing - if they will be stationary as in the v-log, this rather will look ugly.

There's a hornet with more health and less speed. It's called viking. The "alterations" for hulls are simply the other hulls. Heavier hulls are larger, heavier and more powerful for balance.

The drones portion just gives me a headache.

Me too (I think)

 

I remember when I dabbled in Tanki X for a couple of hours and I just couldn't be bothered to untangle the complexity of it (the garage etc. user interface is horrible). I don't want to have to make decisions about any more stuff.

[kaliaisback 0]

guys pls someone help me out. I have a general acc but I cant buy drones because I dont have the section of drones in my garage. Pls someone tell what to do

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

trooper drones are gonna change DMs forever

 

I think it is very stupid drones have the same paint as your tank..

 

why not let drones use a different paint from your tank? this way people will be more inclined to waste money to buy more paints..

 

hell, why not make a seperate section in the garage and the shop "paints for drones" this way people will have to double to paint their drones as well as their tanks

don't you think MU drones and batteries cost is enough to empty you pockets?

paints are just cosmetic so...

Question.

 

My assault drone, currently being upgraded, isn't appearing in battle.  Are drones disabled while being upgraded?  It's equipped and I have plenty of batteries.

Edited June 17, 2018 by Oddsbodkins

[Oddsbodkins 3]

Oh.  The same thing has happened to my other account.  And it's not being upgraded.  Are drones broken?

In game settings there's two tick-box options to "show your Drones" and "show other Drones"....perhaps these two options are unchecked with you?

[Oddsbodkins 3]

No, they're checked.  My batteries are stuck at 300 so I can tell they're not being used.  Also I cleared my cache - no joy there.
