now there is no real reason for me to use Wasp over Hornet (as a hull)

I have Wasp and Hornet fully upgraded on one account and use Wasp as a main on an alt

But if I didn't have the heavyweight construction augment for Wasp on both of those accounts or had it for Hornet, then I would rarely use Wasp because Hornet is just so much better and Wasp isn't slightly faster any more (and Wasp doesn't get any OD charge after capping or scoring any more, which was one of the reasons to use it)

Not being to out run the hovering hulls is also really annoying

It was a terrible update

How much armor do I have when I use titan fully upgraded and defender drone fully upgraded?

I got killed in 1 shot by a magnum-hornet whilst using this combo. I guess defender drone is a pile of crap then?

I got angry and left because what's the point?

If you used boosted armor then it should be 12k HP, if not then 4k.

Maximum dmg magnum can deal (according to wiki) with boosted damage + max bonus from adrenaline + max booster = 4485. 

So if you had no BA active then yes, he could 1shot you (drone has no effect). With BA active he would need 3direct hits to destroy you, in this scenario.

This is if we assume you had no protection module against magnum of course.

I was using double armor (+ fully upgraded titan and defender).

He had hornet od activated.

Ah ok. With hornet od he has the armor piercing effect, rendering your DA and drone indeed useless. You´d have to equip AP immunity to counter this.

It sucks, I know :/ .

Maximum damage an Adrenaline Magnum can do with Booster is 3,900. With Crisis, it is 4,350.

It's best to look at it in terms of damage reduction rather and an increase in effective HP, as that often leads to unnecessary confusion when simulating the scenario. Anyway, your Titan's effective HP would be 10,000 against players you don't have protection against, and 20,000 against players you have 50% protection against.

Sounds like you were inflicted with the Armour-Piercing status and were hit simultaneously by something else to weaken you which allowed the Hornet Magnum to seemingly one-shot you when that may not be the case. If you are sure you were at full HP and they one-shotted you, the Magnum Hornet was probably using Adrenaline and a Crisis while on low HP.

Which gives that player Armour-Piercing to enemies in line of sight for 5 seconds and gives the user Supercharge for 7 seconds. Nothing is too unusual with this interaction. Armour-Piercing and EMP are two counters to the Defender drone.

Would you consider Jammer effect as a counter to defender drone too; Since the boosted armor bonus does not reactivate after applied Jammer effect ends?

I would, it counters drones as a whole, which includes Defender.

[alkyng 3,080]

One thing I hate, ALOT of my Hornet ODs are wasted against ones who have AP Immunity, I can't check if the player have AP Immunity with V/R like in the past. The only way is with scoreboard which is way harder.  Now using my Hornet OD is just like an RNG thing.  This is one of the ton of reasons why V/R are important, and there is no current replacement to them till this day.

How much health !

If my eyes don't deceive me, it appears that toljnok61 (the Striker-Viking) got healing shots from a Healing Emitters Shaft, which I could tell from Shaft's Black Shot effect as seen in this frame:

Furthermore, although image quality isn't great, I can tell that toljnok61 had at least 3 Healing Shaft teammates including Dina_Nana and A-P-E-C.

So to answer your question, your target foe kept getting healed by Healing Shafts, allowing your target to survive longer than usual.

Great work Detective N3tralRE :P That seems like the explanation, I had thought perhaps Lifeguard, but didn't notice the Shaft shots. That augment is really good :)

And ppl complain about Isida making it hard to kill targets.  The shafts don't even need to go into the danger zone to do that.

I definitely think this augment was one of the best new augment ideas the developers have had - something that is not just "x turret + status effect". Offers interesting gameplay. Of course we must ask, it is too powerful? As I don't have it myself I can't comment, seems balanced enough to me, although people are getting very high scores with it in battles that I see it.

They give up nothing to get the long-distance-healing.  So yeah... kind of OP.

I thought it was goofy when they announced it and I still think it's goofy today.

And of course Tesla-Paladin is still ruining CTF mode.

Who knew your firepower could go underneath a hovering hull? So if you're aiming directly at a hovering hull, there's still a chance you'll miss. Lol I can't stand these things.

Honestly I understand the concept of hovering hulls and how they are very important for luring new players. Most of people are using mobile phones and such a company like Tanki couldn't miss an obvious opportunity like this. Even for PC players, they mostly can't get accustomed to keyboard.

But what I can never understand, is the huge advantages Tanki is giving them. Though of their controversy as a concept. And the hardly absorbed existence. Tanki is presenting an intentionally buffed Hopper in the past year and intentionally buffed Paladin this year. We haven't yet tested them or understanded their perspective on hovering hulls before they worsen them more.

Healing shafts? The developers have lost the plot.

The forum even shows signs of inactivity. I honestly thought it was gonna be fun to join the forum, but there's been hardly any new content for the last few days. But maybe its because there's no new updates or announcements. Does anyone know if the activity gets this low during a period of time without any news?

I mainly left the Forum because it is always the same people commenting the same things and having bot replies in announcements.

Oh I understand that it can get a bit repetitive sometimes. But to be fair, that's basically all that we can do in the forum.

this used to be my favorite video game. I often liked it even more then minecraft. Whenever somebody mentions 2017 or 2018, I think tanki online, and the good old days.

Every update makes this game a little bit worse, but then i would learn to live with it for a while, and then another update would make me rage. 

That was overall survivable until 2021, the worst year of our lives, where the updates spammed, and now i cant play the game anymore without rage quitting

It sounds so strange that a lot of players consider 2017 and 2018 to be the good times when back then they were known to be terrible. Just goes to show how badly the game has evolved.

[wolverine848 13,097]

3 Siege battles in a row where I just up and quit because no one on my team was trying to help cap.

What is wrong with these players?   It's just embarassing.

Players like that person and myself call those years the good times of tanki simply because we haven't experienced the game any earlier than that period.

I mean sure for me, 2018 wasn't perfect, could've been better. But it sure was heck of alot better than it is now by miles.
