Unpopular opinion: If you're using a hull for it's overdrive, you shouldn't be using that hull

As title.

It's freaking stupid when I see whiners cry " x hull is useless" because its OD's got nerfed. Overdrives should be treated as a BONUS, not the reason you use the hull.

Example:

I use Titan for its HP and speed, not for some (albiet cool looking) dome.

Likewise with Wasp, I don't use it for its nuke, but for it's speed and nimble frame.

So don't come to the forum complaining that a bonus that you've been using as a crutch got knocked out of your armpit. Just learn how to use the hull, it's more than "the thing that moves the turret around" and suddenly that "nerf" will seem silly to you.

True. I used wasp since I started tanki and I still use. It depends on the skill IMO.

wait a sec... so you mean that if i have an Mk6 tank, i cannot use Mk1 or Mk2 in Match making battles?

Ideally you shouldn't. But if the Mk6 is very high for your rank and most people you play with have lower modifications, then Mk1-Mk2 is fine. In the end it all depends on whether using a low modification impacts your ability to contribute to the battle, so if you use Mk1 but still stay near the top of the score table, then you're fine.

err.. sometimes i do ok with my vulcun... sometimes badly... what happens if i do badly?

You'll probably still be fine because a LOT of conditions need to be met for any kind of punishment, but I would still recommend you change to a better combo if you see that you're letting your team down by using Mk3.
