Valid Change names of protection

[u812ic 1,629]

Change the names of the protections to the name of the turret it's supposed to protect against.

 

What does Ocelot, Badger and Eagle have to do with Isida, Freeze and Shaft? If I were to say, "I have protection against Ocelot", not many players know what I'm talking about. But if I were to say, "I have protection against Isida, then everyone knows what I'm talking about.

 

If a battle has a lot of Firebirds and you don't have Firebird protection, you would go into your garage and get protection against Fox or Firebird?

 

Yes, there are pictures of the ammo pattern, but in the heat of battle and a time constraint, glancing at the pictures some of them look similar. Sometimes I have trouble with Dolphin and Lion or Shark and Wolf, because at a glance, to me, they look very similar. This suggestion is not about changing the pictures, but rather changing the name.

When changing modules I definitely look at the pictures and never even notice the names. But I agree that the module names are misleading and should simply be named after the turret they protect from.

I think that the names look cooler but I do see why they can be misleading. I think that there should be in big letters the name of the turrets they are protected in the description

I agree that the names of modules are misleading. It would be a good idea to be able to rename your modules in the player's garage as well as renaming the current names of the player's turrets and hulls as well.

 

For example, I like to call my Freeze turret "Flemish" because it has a visual appearance of someone sneezing. As a joke, in CTF battles, when someone running away with the flag, I say, as a catchphrase joke, "You cannot run away from Flemish's grip", meaning that you cannot run away from the freezing cold grip that Freeze has on your tank when trying to escape enemies using Freeze in CTF battles.

 

This "Flemish" joke came to me on day one when first signing up my RIDDLER_8 account to play Tanki Online for the very first time.

I think that would simplify the game allot more too. I would also tbh like the old magnum icon back, the green cannon angles upwards, I liked that very unique. The current one can get mixed up with thunder sometimes, and equip the wrong protection by mistake :X

the point of that is???

The point of that is that players must have a rename ability that allows them to rename protection modules like they do with pro battles.

[Aigaion 636]

and there is no point to that either, it just confuses.

That's what I said in the first line of my post.

[u812ic 1,629]

Modules have names like Grizzly, Falcon, Fox, Eagle, and so on.

 

My suggestion is to change the names to the turret it protects against. I checked the Russian WIKI and even that hasn't been changed since the paints and Modules were separated. Those of us who haven't memorized the name and turret it protects against, have to go by the pictures. I still get some of them confused.

This would simplify the modules system a bit.

Wait, I just realised - you posted the same topic a few months after the first one. Did you forget that you already posted it or something?

Might be simpler, yes.

Why's Smoky XT like a Snake when the Smoky Module is Dolphin? 

Change the Modules' names to reflect the Turrets' XT Skins:

Fire -> Dragon

Freeze -> Mammoth (or Elephant to prevent confusion)

Isida -> Raven

Hammer -> Rhino

Twins -> Dino(saur)

Rico -> Croc(odile)

Smoky -> Snake/Anaconda

Striker -> Eel

Vulcan -> Beast

Thunder -> Stays the same 

Rail -> Stays the same

Shaft -> Lion

Magnum -> Honestly what is it supposed to resemble? Turtle? Ram?

Gauss -> Phoenix (or this )

Spoiler
