Let's Discuss Ares!

[samyuz 1]

i just hope that it'll be fast, cuz i hate slow hulls.

[samyuz 1]

although it looks fast, the moment i know it's a heavy hull, i know it's not gonna be fast.

the ares is most likely slow cause it is a heavy hull

[dakuganryu 0]

The ares hull can be flipped over

the overdrive is most likely a thing out of the hole in the front.

I just want them to upgrade the game, rather than adding useless little updates. There's so many things that could be improved, rather than just adding to the problem.

 

I understand you have to make money - but sometimes as a company the going has to get tougher before it gets better.

I would like to know what you think about the new Ares hull that is coming out soon. 

[Thomas11239 366]

Isn't that aleady in the discussions about turrets and hulls?

However, I already hate it because it has been hyped by the devs, which probably means it'll be only for real money.

[Azonyx 124]

It's hard to have an opinion on something that doesn't technically exist yet, but hover ability on a heavy hull, hm, sounds counterproductive.

Devs are planning a new hull this summer.

 

Here's what I know about it:

 

·Its a heavy hull that'll hover.

·Its closer to the size of Viking.

·Its overdrive will shoot something out of the hole it has in the front that might go through props.

 

More info can be found in this Vlog

 

 

I'll put up a poll as we get closer to the release date (whenever that is). For now, we can just discuss it.

 

So what do you think about it?

wait, you said this summer as in summer of 2019?

it's 2020

way to procrastinate lol

dw tanki i forgive you

we already know what it is right? its the ares hull

[RandomGuy 19]

I think releasing Ares is a bad idea. The game is good enough already, and adding a hovering hull will be confusing. This hull should have wheels like all other hulls. Also, what overdrive will it have? More speed? I can't think of any other overdrive ideas. how are you supposed to aim at other tanks if you are higher in the air? You will miss most shots. Can the tank flip over in any way? Why does the tank have to be the heaviest hull, but it can still hover? Please leave the game as it is.

Auto-aim. THe same way you aim at tanks with Dictator. 

[RandomGuy 19]

What is auto-aim I honestly don't know.

Hover tank is a good idea, it doesn't not affect much the game (unless it ends up to be OP of course). It is mostly to get cash from buyers (new skin, new Hull Augments,...), so the game doe not increase its P2W parts. 

Devs have the idea to have 3 hulls per category with similar stat but different OD ans apsect to choose from. Currently only the medium category has 3 hulls (Vik, Dic and Hunter). Ares would be in the Heavy one from 2000 HP (Mk1) to 4000HP (MK7+). They showed the over drive in the vlog, it is not too clear but it looks like a cannon, so you will have to face your enemy. It was suggested in the past that it could go thought walls (let see if this happens). 

Regarding the height, if you look at the vlog you will see that Ares is relatively thin (like a Formula one car) therefore it might not be as high as other hull. There is a void underneath but it is not too high (defo lower than the viking hull). My guess it that it will be similar in height as to the Dictator (the highest one currently). Anyway why the developers would put in the game a turret that misses all its shot?  Please explain your logic here.

Heavy hulls is more about the HP ans speed (than the actual weight). So it means it will have similar speed and HP (from 2000 HP (Mk1) to 4000 HP (MK7+) than the other 2 hulls in that category (Mammoth and Titans). So 75% chance that it will be flippable, but it might be harder to do so, try to flip a Titan. Also the developer said that it might be easy to push compared to other heavy hulls. It will also activate mines.

It is a game, you can make pig fly if you want to, you don't really need a good reason to do that. Knowing Hazel, he liked it from a well know MMO game and wanted to have this toy in TO. Oh boy!

There is room for another hull in the light category: a buggy with wheel or something with legs ... suspense...

nice essay

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

I really don't think Tanki needs any new hulls.

i agree. Every hull is different in its on way.

Mammoth-slowest, heaviest, strong, high health

Dictator-not that slow, very good push, heavy, strong, good health

Titan-slow, heavy, strong, high health

Viking- medium speed, kinda lightweight, good health

Hunter-good push, medium speed, kinda heavy, good health

Hornet-fast, agile, lightweight, low health, weak

Wasp-fastest, lightest, lowest health, weakest

will mines work on ares

Precisely my question...

If not, I will be pretty sad... mines are the best part of the game (except tripping over them)

I don't know the scientific reason behind this. But in terms of game balance, it would surely be not fair if it could just float over mines.

how dyou now it's not going to be fast... doesn't it hover?

That happens to reduce friction between the ground and the tank, so I'd expect a speed increase. Or a weaker engine.
