Gauss?   I kid... I kid.

Hmmm.... can't think of many...  oh wait... giving Dictatpr points (10) for sharing OD was decent.

Meh, they could've given all hulls abilities to give teammates buffs and then reward them for doing so. But I suppose dictator is a good start.

They could give it to hornet as it shares some of  its powers but the rest of the hulls dont share their ods

They don't, but they should. To encourage teamwork a little bit.

Gauss will be nerfed once enough players have purchased, upgraded and altered it. This is a surefire way to maximize the amount of people that Tanki annoys in one "rebalance". This is followed by much rage from players that promise to quit forever... only to reappear 2 minutes later sporting the next OP fad that they bought, which in turn is nerfed shortly after...and so on.

yea sounds abt right maybe once i buy my last upgrade for gauss mk7 20/20 thei'll tottally nerf it

Wait... wut you mean... it already does share the radar.

Hornet does fine without getting points for sharing.

Other hulls sharing abilities would just mess up the game even more.  How could wasp possibly share it's OD?  Or Hunter?

What update in the past year has been deserving of positive feedback besides addition of TJR, spawn protections, and the Vulcan reforged?

 

Are you sure this Vilcan reforging is a good update.?

What I meant was that for example, Viking could give its teammates a 20% damage increase for 10 seconds, wasp would give its teammates an extra mine they can use before the initial cool down, and hunter would either end the cool down of all supplies of near by teammates, or fully replenish their HP, or both.

It made Vulcan which was previously useless, decent again.

It wasn’t useless. Players who were skilled with it got very good scores in battle.

As a player who uses Gauss a lot, I'm going to say; yes

Vulcan is quite balanced imo. Because its  bullets travel its very hard to hit moving targets. So I think it deserves high dmg . The only things which need nerfing imo are ffirebird and hornet.

Players abused the high damage with Hornet's overdrive and drones. They easily destroyed any hull I used, and in less than 2 seconds. Insane

Firebird is quite strong but I'm still not convinced it requires any drastic nerfs at this point.

Everywhere i go i find myself victim to gausses shots .in all types of map .theres no way to understand when a gauss is sniping on u .with dd even a dictator is toast without  having da even with protection against gauss .they should make its sniping mode visible or at least increase reloed time or decrease damage significantly .its getting out of hand

cry babies like you are a big reason why tis game was ruined...

Well, too me it was made useless when they nerfed it's damage by a ridiculous 70% when OH, combined with a spin up time of 3 seconds.

I'm just glad they removed those nerfs from Vulcan.

And then they gave it two damage buffs and a slight spin-up time buff. It's not like they nerfed it and just left it there. It was given compensation for the nerf.

But the buffs at the time were nowhere near as noticeable as the nerfs.

Seems too complicated.  And does a hornet rail need another 20%?  Will be 1-shotting Heavy hulls all the time

Maybe occaisionaly.

But in general they gutted the turret with the ridiculous long spin-up and the giant damage nerf while overheating.  It was the least-used turret (along with striker) for a reason.

LOTS turrets abused hornets OD.  My medium hulls were getting spawn-killed by magnums before I finished spawning.
