Are there any uses of dictator currently?

Recommended Posts

As I mentioned above, I have Dictator on another account. When I jump (fall) from higher place going forward it flips. In order to prevent that I have to go backwards. The reason for this is balance. The Dictator's turret is on the rear of the hull. Falling forwards makes it more top heavy. Going backwards puts the weight closer to the ground. In this respect, I find Viking more stable. My Viking can out maneuver Dictator in close encounters.  

 

 

Did you not try shooting as you fall?

He's got a point... you should never use a turret with no recoil on Dictator because there's no point.

What difference does it make whether or not it has a recoil? If you drive it backwards, it's great for playing peek-a-boo so sometimes I use Railgun. That doesn't have any recoil, either, so I shouldn't use it? I don't see your point.

Peek-a-boo and golds are basically the only advantages of Dictator over Hunter. Otherwise, Hunter is better.

Going over edges, if you have a gun with recoil you can shoot to land upright.

If I go backwards, sync the tracks with the fall, I can land upright. Same with Titan. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature.

when the overdrive update comes out, dictator will have one of the more "least situational" overdrive, meaning its hard to use it at a bad time, which is nice. Dictator will also become in important hull to have in any team based formatted game modes, which is all of them except death match and juggernaut lol

I never use dictator. It is like wearing a big sign saying "kick me". Mammoth is similar.

 

Wasp and hornet are too weak and hunter rocks back and forth too much. So that leaves viking and titan... which is what almost everyone uses  -_-

Viking is like a rag-doll when targeted by any turret with substantial impact.

 

Hunter has much better stability.

Dictator is good just for golds and camping with Rail.

 

Titan is just as high as Hunter and Mammoth. Mammoth is not easier to hit in any way.

 

I like when my hull rocks back and forth, this 'hull swing' can be used to target enemies above or below me.

 

My favourite hulls and Hunter and Titan. I have currently 3 M2 hulls: Hornet, Viking and Titan. I plan buying M2 Hunter, of course.

You should be saving for an M3 kit, you're just 53k EXPs away. Vandal (Hunter/Twins) costs 414.5k crys.

I just can't get used to hunter because it rocks backwards and forwards too much. It's difficult to play with railgun.

Wasp rocks even more and lots of players use it with Rail. They rarely miss.

I plan staying M2 until Marshal. By that time, I will have enough crystals for M3 Hunter, Titan, Smoky, Thunder and maybe some modules.

 

Things change - look at my garage xD

'Twas interesting to join battles and see more than half the players on each team using Dictator. That number is going to decline very steeply in these coming days. 

 

Had a DM battle where there were 14 Dictators while I was a Hunter and another player was a Wasp. Four golds dropped in that battle so I had 4 chances to kill one of the Dictators right before the gold box touched them.

At low ranks, you can use your overdrive and get full drugs. If you use them right, most of the time you are 90+ percent to your next od by the time they run out, giving you a steady source of supplies

I feel it's the perfect balance between speed and strength. Don't know why people don't use it much.

High profile and large size make it an easy target to hit.

Dictator/Vulcan is my main combo. Tall hull with a tall turret means I can shoot over lots of the terrain and other tanks only showing the top of the turret.

 

Easy to block other tanks from base/goal/flag due to its size. 

 

My favourite tactic for self damaging turrets is to drive straight at them and watch them panic and kill themselves ?

 

Peeking round corners and strafing the other team then going back under cover is good fun!

I miss those days when it was just the opposite.

If there are any pros please tell me, because I have dictator m2 right now and am debating between using that or viking m1, because viking is faster and health difference is minimal.

The only Pro is that Dictator is the most stable and heavy medium hull, so it's not as susceptible to impact as Hunter and Viking are.

 

 

To be honest, it really needs a health buff, because it's like 1.5 times the size of Hunter and Viking, yet it only has the same health, which makes no sense at all.

They uniformed the HP for hulls categories. Light/Med/Heavy Hulls. Which is honestly a sux thing.
