ok. Why would you add a hull that won’t turn without facing forward? I mean for people like me who don’t turn their turrets, this Hull is absolutely useless. Otherwise,I think that it’s kinda ok to be in the game. 

In today's v-log (Episode 260 of The V-LOG Is LIVE!) they said that they change that, you will be able to turn your turret. 2 things though:

1/ you can do it if you play with the mouse and you will have the hull going any direction (turn right, turn left, move forward, reverse and slide right and left)

2/ if you don't play with the mouse you can untick the option and the your hull will be driven just like any other tank (turn right, turn left, move forward, reverse) and the x and z (or < and >) will be used as normal for the turret. In this scenario, Ares won't be able to slide right and left).

It sticks out like a sore thumb, and I don't see what the motive for adding it was. Is there something meaningful that it contributes to the game?

Mobile version. All blame lies on the mobile version.

Topic Moved

From "Game Discussion" to "Turrets & Hulls" sub-category for obvious reasons

Not necessary but since nearly all topics here have a poll, feel free to add a poll to this topic.

So... They are now retiring Flash tomorrow, or did they seriously spend over a year adding in compatibility for a platform with 4 months of life left?

Well, in any case, can't complain about new toys.

No not tomorrow, nor in 4 months, I bet it will goes beyond a little bit longer as TO has the home made client. Till the client cannot run with new stuff. 
Till then you should try HTML 5 and feed back what you did not like or what need improvement.

Thanks.

Anyway, just added the poll. Now have to update the original post to be more relevant to the current situation.

Better wait till the wiki adds the stats for Ares. Then you can make the main topic following the same pattern as the others in the section, or I can do it for you. Either way is fine.

Tips for using Ares in siege mode-

Camp using Gauss. Ares pairs well with Gauss when playing on the mobile app.

Fire your BFG in the direction of an activated siege point. Your OD will kill any enemy at the point and also heal allies near it. Aim with precision.

Beware of enemies using the same strategy. If you see a BFG ball comming towards you get out of the way fast. The BFG has a limited radius. Outside this it will not hurt/heal you.

Your BFG can explode upon touching a map prop. It explodes like a wasp bomb but also deals self damage if you go too close to the explosion. Use it wisely.

You can use the BFG explosion in closed spaces (like Chernobyl reactor) to use it like a shoot-able wasp's bomb.

And look out for players called S****Zilla (there are four of them) that play hunt-the-camper in siege mode

Did anyone notice there is self-damage when the ball of plasma (OD) explodes?

Don't hit it right on the wall/ building.   It hurts!

So here's my brief review after trying Ares with both Thunder and Vulcan on my appropriately Quake-themed alt, Impulse9

 

+Feels great when paired with Vulcan, allowing for much quicker reactions and strafing between cover in such a way tracked hulls can't

+Controls like a breeze on mobile, which is my main platform unless they decide a Switch port is happening

-It's a bit light and fast feeling for a heavy hull. Feels like they just strapped a BFG to what was a light tank and the weight issues caused it to be what it is, which I suppose is what they're going for

-The Overdrive needs to be nerfed in range, or made so that you can't heal from it yourself. I found a full-frontal charge with speed boost had me staying basically within my own little barrier that both constantly healed me and instantly killed anything in it's way. Also unless it hits a wall it can travel pretty far, though I'd say the lack of overall splash damage on the ball itself it perfectly fine. Especially compared to how Gauss can just hit everyone in the same continent as you with it's charged shot

-I don't like the noises it makes. Sounds like an air mattress being inflated constantly.

 

 

Final verdict: 7/10, I feel that this could become the new standard frontline hull if it's speed remains what it is since it does everything a Titan does for me, but better and with a useful OD.

Worst release of the game. Crashes every game. I don't see how this game will survive for another year or two until the devs actually listen to us and stop wasting time on a stupid hull like Ares.

Goodness me. I was just about to post the the official Ares thread, then I noticed that it was closed. Ares: 

Thanks for re-opening the "Let's discuss Ares" thread. At least we can all enjoy talking about it further here.

Oh I just secretly reopened this topic without any of the mods or admin knowledge and then told @Spy to comment "topic reopened" in it.

I wish the Ares thread was re-opened. That's never going to happen though because this thread is now an old thread.

[E_polypterus 2,374]

It slips when i keep it stationary on a ramp. And even light hulls can easily push it. Since it is a heavy hull how can it defend if it can be pushed even by wasps?

That's what the BFG us for. They come too close, nuke 'em murder hornets.

And make sure you are stationary or traveling backward while doing so, otherwise you will be the one being nuked.

But it won’t always be on. Also no chance on depending on that in overdrive off battles. Plus ur good target to get trolled by certain annoying teammates :///

After slacking off on the topic, it has now been updated.

 

Ehh, I just copy and pasted all the info from the wiki. Or did I?

Air ships are even bigger. but they fly.

Ares has the most mass among all hulls, it is heavier than mammoth.

Mass does not necessarily mean heavier.

Mass is measured in kg so ...

 

But Mirza7 is incorrect - mammoth has the most mass at 4000 kg.

I wonder why people think Ares works well with Gauss?

Weight is 3900 units for Mk7+, so it is less heavy than mammoth (4000 units for Mk7+).

 

Overdrive charge over time is not specified in the Ares wiki page, however shard in the Overdrive wiki page.

Overdrive	Wasp	Hornet	Viking	Hunter	Dictator	Ares	Titan	Mammoth	Juggernaut
Charge per battle point %	0.6	0.5	0.5	0.6	0.7	???	0.5	0.6	0
Charge per second %	1	0.9	0.4	0.9	0.7	0.7	0.8	0.7	2.5

Ares charging overdrives is the same as the dictator and Mammoth (~2 minutes and 22 seconds).

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Ares has the same charge per point as Dictator - 0.7

You are correct, i was probs being to technical with myself in giving that answer, which was a true statement if you apply newton's law of motion, but this is TO and not a science class, so on that basis your post has more WEIGHT .  fn. It's newton's 2nd law of motion, had to check that one out because i knew i was missing something when i posted that,but your statement still holds more credibility than mine in the confines of TO. Think i will just concentrate on missions, it's way easier.
