Why rebalance every month, just make them balanced in the first place.

And you think OVERDRIVES are fine the way they are, REALLY.

No 1 turret dominates, it's the overdrive/hull they combine it with that determines whether are not that particular turret dominates, namely HORNET/FLYING HULL.

Can't believe you said overdrives are fine the way they are.

Cloud cuckoo land springs to mind. 

maybe every month or 2. Like other popular games. So it really proves that the devs are actually checking which turret/hull is dominating and tweak accordingly.

I meant that I do not mind that the OD update came. I didn't say ODs were balanced.

The devs are checking??????

How come HORNET is still OP

How come they added another OP hull

Yeah deff checking, to see how many players buy their OP updates

I seriously give up explaining what tips the balance by a massive margin.

To be honest, it doesn't affect me as much as others, that's only because my garage throughout all my accounts i play on are strong.

Still, having legal cheats maraude through battles with relative ease the way HORNET and THE FLYING CHEAT do is totally unfair, especially on those players that have no way of combating such OP hulls.

I have strong accounts, but at times i am left in the wake of these OP legal cheats, especially this flying cheat which is nigh on impossible to defend against at the higher ranks.

Did you read what I said? This is what I hope for.

ODs are one of the worst things to happen to TO... ever.

Lots of other issues but ODs take the cake.  They've turned TO into Super-Mario-Kart.

But Super Mario Kart is a best selling game in the 90s and is still very very popular today. Also, I don't see how they are related.

Myself and a lot of players in the game chats are complaining about Hornet's nerf. It was way too big and it seems like Hornet is the worst hull now. Like just awful. You might as well use Hopper or Wasp. #buffhornet

Edit: Tested Hornet for 2 hours. I have to say, it feels like a normal hull now, the OD doesn't do much and one of the weakest compared to all other ODs.

Does anyone have an honest opinion regarding the future balance of Titan OD? I can see many battles being unfair now in SGE and ASL.

You need to use it strategically, just like the rest of the hulls ODs.

Unlike before where you just press shift and go on a killing spree.  Actually needs skill now.

It's a childish game with lots of bells and whistles.   That's what TO is turning into.

Well at least Mario Kart is doing well. Tanki Online isn't. That's why there are like 10 of them, and they are all successes. Lastly to add on, I dont think the TO updates make it more childish. TO is a shooter that appeals to everyone who likes tanks and stuff. Mario Kart is appealed to kids but is still enjoyable for everyone. Not similar at all.

Ruining the game to make more money in short term.

You think the player base won't go down further?   Every time they make these goofy changes they lose players.

I didn't say anything about player base not going down. I was just correcting you on comparing TO to MK. All these "goofy changes" are just coming from Tanki X. Minus the Drones.

No less goofy because they came from TX.  Thought that was cartoonish when it was around.

I think Hornet's OD has not become all that weak. It just requires a bit more thinking to use effectively, and the potential for how much damage it can do has increased. Teammates benefit from AP. Activating OD in some situations can lead to an entire team wipe in seconds.

Wow, I had a dream that I was playing Tanki. It seemed to last a few hours too. When I woke up it felt like only a few minutes had gone by.

I really think you are missing the point of the wolf, i'm not sure if it is deliberate are if it is really lost on you.

What Augment is next? Bomb Immunity?? AT-field Immunity?? BFG Immunity??

I have just seen Hopper jump over HALF THE MAP in Highlands and score the goal in Rugby while landing. Twice. If this is not the perfect picture of how ridiculous this game became, then I don't know what is.

It is either a hacker, or some super pay to win player with a maxed Crisis Drone.

Also, I wish I knew how Efficiency is calculated. Mine keeps going down for some reason and about to drop below 90000.

I checked the Wiki, and apparently they are still planning to add new hulls to the game.

Well, there's obviously the medium hover hull next. I doubt they'll add anything after that very soon, though....

From my observation in battles currently and looking at the top active players in the ranking list, boosting your efficiency is now accomplished using a dictator hull + drone with sharing capabilities (e.g. mechanics) playing in a battle mode where your teammates are packed closely together (siege, assault). Also, I am not sure how much organized power leveling can help to boost efficiency but it is evident in some profiles. K/D ratio used to be important for efficiency in the past but not as much now.
