Overdrives are here!

[wolverine848 13,097]

We haven't tried this yet but I surely prefer this over the incessant spamming of 12345. You can share viking overdrives to blast through a base or use titan to heavily safeguard or protect it. 

It might be good or could be bad but I'm not going to make a comment on that till we actually try them out.

Do you spell viking  D-I-C-T-A-T-O-R ?

[Miahak 1,596]

Wonder how much lag we will get

let's hope that it doesn't lag :P

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

LOL I remember watching Ghost Animator use the Viking Overdrive in the Test Server and it lasted way longer XD

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

Also, I don't understand Dictator's Overdrive. To me, it seems like the regular Overdrive that already exists. Is this the case, or it's not true and I'm missing something...?

[Legacy 754]

Tanki will become Fortnite or Mobile legends with this update and we'll have to use supplies more often cuz overdrives don't offer supplies anymore  :angry:

And one more question: For Juggernaut, is there any difference at all? It says it repairs the tank. Currently, before this update, it repairs the tank about halfway I'd say. After this update, it is gonna repair the Juggernaut fully instead? Or is there not gonna be any change?

Probably no changes for Juggernaut

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

Yeah I just found out it's none.

just great the strong become invincible and if your stats are not fully upgraded in M3 you don't stand a rats asset of a chance with this either the developers need to go over the damn match making it just isn't balanced properly it's suppose to go by a player tank stat, when it takes 3 shots or more to kill a tank 2-3 levels higher than mine you know something is wrong developers you need to redo match making the right way .

Let's all hold our feedback until we have seen how this will impact the game. Of course it will change, but probably not much. One thing to think about is how much the current overdrives cause battles to become blowouts. Good teams that are already individually skilled will also use overdrive to help each other, thus making them all even more OP. Losing teams will tend to use OD more individually as either they are noobs or they realize the battle is lost and just want to do well individually. This might be wrong but when I see a lot of players playing terribly, I will find those who are playing well and will give them OD.

 

In the future, overdrives will be more individual or defensive, keeping powerful attacks from swarming the enemy base. One Viking OD will not be able to cause an entire team to spawn kill all day. Titan and Mamoth will make games slow down and become more defensive...potentially like people say they used to be. Hunter will do so as well, while Wasp's ability will encourage a few deepstrikes into the base to cause mahem. 

 

As I talk about this I'm actually really excited! Either way, though, people always react to things before seeing how they will pan out....lets be patient

[Nicola_M 1,563]

I have M3 Smoky with Incendiary alt. I can get good score and k/d without hull overdrives.

Let us know how the new overdrives on everyone else works out for you. :lol:

At last...

Im going to enjoy this.

You'd bloody well better.

You've gone on about them for so long it would be a smack in the kisser if you suddenly didn't like them now you got them.

New overdrive:

 

"Hey everyone, have some new armor or firepower!"

 

"Great, thanks!"

 

"Oh ... this is awkward. I didn't mean you, Hunter."

 

"Not me? But ... you said everyone."

 

"Yeah, I didn't think you were in the room. Sorry."

Of course we are waiting, but it doesn't look good on paper, at least for me.

 

You can use the current OD at anytime from the moment you got it charged, and you get the benefits. With the other ODs you'll have to wait for an opportunity. Sorry for using some logic in advance.

[Jay 1,431]

Lol

 

I'm just thinking about my Autocannon Smoky M4, Booster M4 and Viking M4 with the overdrive.

 

Gonna be pretty insane...

Bust down thotiana

I saw the day after I heard that song. I resisted the urge to say what you said for a week now.

Isn't this a benefit? OD's are more strategic than simply pressing shift when im in a losing 1v1 battle?

[TankiMafia 0]

I hope wasp's op overdrive works now...

[lssimo 1,559]

The bad: Got killed about 2 seconds after activating the Viking OD. Not a good sign.

 

The good: It was fun when activating a second time and killing a drugged medium hull. But remember, it was the first time.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Hate it?  I LOVE it.

 

I need Viking's OD to be on permanently. :P   Seven seconds is just too short, but even Titans just melt away.

Awesome.

[I.Cinderella_Man 8]

Best update ever.

Tanki do not ruin this one please.

No nerfing of any of these OD

if anything viking needs 1 or 2 second increase and maybe hornet slightly more OP for DM mode but thats it

[Darksided 0]

This is rubbish...hunter has no benefit for OD but mammoth is in God Mode

Wait till things settle and see one sided battles and spawn killings again. The fun of the new will wear off, the chaotic will stay.

Edit: Hunter is useless, maybe in PRO Battles when playing with friends when I find friends that want to play this game.

 

Edit2: I had fun with my Dictator M0.10. Nostalgia already.

 

Edit3: Titan can be OP or useless depending on the situation. I guess Mammoth is the heavy hull to have for now.

At last! After nearly 3 years of the first announcement about the new hull overdrives, today on April 11 2019, the new hull overdrives are finally here. The overdrives are here to stay and make Tanki online gameplay much more enjoyable that it has ever been.

 

Thank goodness, the overdrives have brought a new positive milestone for Tanki Online.

 

Next on the developers list will be the HTML 5 feature that will finally replace Flash and increase the speed and performance of Tanki Online. HTML 5 will remove all in-game lags and slow downs of Tanki Online.

 

Developers said that there were going to improve and sharpen the graphics of Tanki Online sometime in the near future when HTML 5 will be released.

 

Thank you so much for this hull overdrives update. I have been patiently waiting for it for nearly 3 years. Thank goodness that the hull overdrives are here.

I did have my doubts, and that it would be very one-sided, but actually it's brilliant.

Obvs it depends greatly on what turret you stick on your hull, but I didn't find it unbalanced at all.

[blutakix 81]

Some of the hulls hit the jackpot.  Others got screwed.  Mostly it seems like a lot more visual noise on the battlefield.

 

Speaking of noise - am I the only one who has noticed that some of the new sound effects sound like really wet juicy farts?  Is that how they made the sounds?  Sat around eating corned beef and cabbage, drinking beer and recording fart noises?

 

Overall, I'd rather the 25+ known bugs in the game be fixed, but what does Tanki care about fixing bugs?  I don't see the new overdrives as nearly as important as getting rid of Match Maker!
