Zero damage respawning, perhaps one of tanki's better updates?

Except they can turn their turret at almost normal speed, so they aren't defenseless. I've had a Freeze Hunter stick up to me and try to circle me when I was using Vulcan. And I was able to keep damaging it for 3 whole seconds before it finally outran my bullets. That's sad IMO. 

2019 was a bad year of the balance changes. The only good set of balance changes was the most recent one.

Very weird. This may be a bug devs haven't noticed yet.

Essentially this makes freeze a better damage turret but worse at freezing

If it flips I'd say that is even worse than being destroyed.  Self-D is really sucky.

Confirmed. You don't take damage from the bomb during the invincibility. My Wasp teammate made a Thunder Hunter who had just materialised on the bomb do a semi-backflip onto its turret. It was funny to watch.

I concur, Wasp bomb do not damage re-spawning tank still under the temporary re-spawning protection.

What about hornet OD, does it nullifies the temporary re-spawning protection?

Both Hornet's and Hunter's OD have their full effects while the re-spawn protection is active. I am not sure if Dictator's OD has it's freeze effect on it, but I assume it does because it doesn't deal any damage it's just an inconvenience like Hunter.

Hornet's OD ignores the invulnerability. Hornet is the only hull that can truly spawnkill. Hunter can technically do it by disabling the enemy but it can't damage them for 2 seconds, which gives the zapped tank's allies time to damage or kill the Hunter. 

 

Mammoth doesn't ignore it, but it must be scary to have a Mammoth pressing up against you with its OD activated in those 2 seconds.

  You got to love Hornet!

 

Freezing effect form Dictator OD did not work on re-spawning tanks.

Hornet OD still do spawn destruction.
