The stupidest sight in tanki today

[u812ic 1,629]

What's so stupid, is my M2 10/10 Vulcan rarely kills a Wasp. What's worse is just milliseconds before I kill him he sets off the bomb. My Vulcan finally kills the Wasp and the Wasp kills me with the bomb.

You can't kill Wasps with that? What's happening? Are they driving perpendicular to you while heading to cover?You should be able to kill the Wasp in one of 6 seconds, 3 seconds, or 1.5 seconds of direct fire. 

 

Whenever a Wasp drops a bomb for only you, just think about how worse it could have been if it sneaked up on your grouped teammates.

I've never been able to figure out how some players seem to manage to be on all the drugs all the time. Kill them and POOF they respawn and are back at you all drugged up again. this was happening before Drones as well. 

 

I can manage to be on two at a time maybe all of them if I hit a couple of drop boxes but I swear I've never seen a Viking/freeze/hammer on  less than 3.

Learning the cooldowns and picking up dropped boxes.

This does beat all. Check the bottom left and top right corners. 13 rank spread!!! It could have been more, idk. I closed my computer mid-game and came back about 30 minutes later, Almost exited it, but I saw this.

Wow. Just wow.

 

That sergeant-major is probably in s Battle Group with someone of a higher rank.

Go DA/DD then SB then DA/DD, it saves 5 seconds over doing a different order. Most people go spawn-DA, 5 seconds later SB, 5 seconds later DD.

I don't use Viking that often, but its Overdrive is a slow yet very strong one. There have been a couple times where I destroyed someone right when they just started their Overdrive. It's satisfying in an evil way and also a relief.

It is pretty funny and sad at the same time. When that happens to me, I just sigh and..well...keep going,.

 

What I would love to do is annoy Vikings so that they use their Overdrive solely on me so that my team wouldn't be at risk of being on the receiving end of an impromptu massacre. The problem of doing that is that Vikings are so darn prevalent in Legend battles that it makes no sense singling one out since there are so many others. I stick to doing that with Mammoths since they aren't so prevalent up there. 

What I find bizarre is how you're encountering this many Vikings in battles, because I often see a variety of hulls in any given match, with usually 2-3 Vikings on an enemy team.

The one near the Nuclear Energy Box that is seen being destroyed was a Viking Isida.

So 6 supplies per minute

HOW? 

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

HOW? 

Person sounds like a buyer. I don't see those stats surprising for that rank since you can get M2 kits very early.

They brag because it is usually the opposite for them once they log off and get back to reality.

But like... Why Tanki? You could do this on any other game, one with a playerbase that isn't mainly tweens/teens. How little do you need to have in your life to brag about how good you are when you spend possibly hundreds of dollars?

Because they probably failed in the other games.

Counted 6 Vikings on the red team:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 Vikings in this picture, 9 in total in the battle:

 

 

 

 

 

Counted 8 Vikings in this map:

 

 

 

 

 

I'm convinced that Viking is just hands down the best hull to play with and can adapt to the most situations. They've probably already come to terms with its slow Overdrive charge rate, got accustomed to ti and now don't mind it.

I'm convinced that it's Hunter that falls into that category.

It takes a REALLY LONG time to get accustomed to how badly it gets pushed around but I noticed I can correct my movement sort of easily now. Still can't wait to have titan m3 on that account though.

I have Titan M2 10/10. It still gets one shotted with full health.

That's shaft for ya, the "totally not op" weapon.

An M4 Shaft will not be able to one shot you. The person who one shot 812 obviously has HC on, and that’s a pretty big disadvantage in battle. Ot we could talk about the plague of Large Caliber Rounds.

I can tank a large calibers with 35%, no DA and mammoth m2. Shaft will kill the same thing.

[u812ic 1,629]

Cologne CP blue.

 

I was in the center courtyard changing the CP. Red enemy comes in and we are having 1v1. I was making points and suddenly, my shots were no longer being counted. I looked around and saw the spinning turrets. I clicked on the tab reload, but it was slow to respond. There was a slight "blip" on the screen and in the blink of an eye I was in blue base sitting on the CP in the same position I was in the courtyard. Then the reload finally kicked in. I was back in the same battle, but I didn't spawn. Instead, I was still sitting on blue CP in the exact same position as before. I couldn't move. Then came the black screen. I hit the tab reload and logged back in. I was back in the same battle and spawned in a legitimate respawn zone, but I still couldn't move. Hit reload tab again. I got back in the same battle for about 5 seconds. Game Over. 

 

Yes, I cleared the cache after the second reload. It didn't help at all.

Kinda vague. Do you have 35% of health left or the module at M3?

 

An M2 Eagle module will cancel out the Heavy Capacitors. I guess if you don’t have it, then it’s not my problem. Shaft is meant to be a sniper. By maximizing damage in sniping mode, we confirm our kills but lose the ability of going out into the open to expose ourselves.

 

Unless you don’t use Heavy Capacitors and camp.

Shaft m4: 3300 damage, so 6600 damage with DD

Titan m3: 3529 hp.

Against 35% protection, shaft still deals 4290 damage, which oneshots even an m4 heavy. You need 40% shaft to survive with 40 hp on an m4 heavy, as it deals 3960 damage. Why would they ever need heavy capacitators? Oh and of course, all of light and medium are still getting oneshot even with a 50% module. What does this mean? That activating DA is literally a waste of 50 crystals as you're getting oneshot regardless if you aren't wearing at least a 25% on a medium or 40% on a light.

 

But sure, let's assume it actually uses heavy capacitators... Then you're getting oneshot even with a 50% module. Does this sound any fair to you? Of course it will, as you shaft users are completely self centered. Don't forget last patch made your reload even faster than it already was.

 

Large caliber m4:

Average damage per shot: 1680, 3360 with dd

Insanely lucky shot: 2240, 4480 with dd

Now, mammoth m2: 3117 hp

Vs 35%:

Average: 2184

Lucky: 2912

 

Let's see how it fares against a fully m4 heavy instead.

Average shots deals around 40% of their hp, when DA is off and their DD is on.

Lucky shot barely goes past 50% of their hp instead, so in like 95% of the cases you have 3 shots of survival even without DA. Plenty of time to actually counter and throw the enemy aim off.

Well that's assuming that both of you aren't on equal footing. Protection modules do their part, double armour helps them even further and better when the protection module is less than 50%.

 

You can survive just fine if you have protection against them when you're both on equal footing (no DA or DD activated).
