Why is there no negative impact for Isida's nanomass reactor?

Ok you have a point, but more than half of all players use thunder, railgun, gauss etc;

In fact, nowadays, no one uses twins, Isida, magnum and soon fire and freeze will go extinct due to the new alts.

That's why I hate the long range turrets, because they do so much damage in a short amount of time. That's why many people equip protection but still there is no difference.

matches are full fire/freez+wasp right now. don't u use long range turret also.

Sledgehammer indirectly reduces damage. That doesn't stop most Thunders from using it. 

have you ever used thunder?

Isida lost its use after doping became a norm. its only redeeming quality is good damage/sec but its not easy to aim. also it has no special effect. nobuddy uses isida. its too hard to survive. kill count in always low.

Have I ever used it? Yes.

 

Have I been using it in modern Tanki? No. My experiences with it in modern Tanki have been solely on the receiving end. I find Smoky more interesting.

The negative effect was accidentally ommited from the Wiki. Nanomass Reactor still has 50% increased energy consumption when attacking enemies.

There's a ton of hornet-magnums running around - they can one-shot a fully protected medium hull.

No one uses fire?  We can no longer protect against afterburn.  Firebirds with compact tanks are everywhere killing anything they touch.

But when you think about it, a few (or say, many) months from now, lots of people will have received the resistance or immunity augments from containers, even for hulls they use. And it won't be wrong to guess that burn immunity will be the most popular choice amongst hull augments.

there are around 60 augments + countless junk in container. probability of getting a desired single augment is too low. only those who buy ~100s of containers have a good chance. Rest of us tanks will just loose hope and leave the game.

Hyperion is not worth the cost of the supply penalty and even without it, I don't think it would be preferred to Defender or Booster.  I know people that have used for a good number of hours and they all have stopped.

@TheCongoSpider Saw your earlier question.  I think vulcan incendiary and boucing bullets alts for vulcan have bullets that travel roughly the same speed.  With both of them it is very difficult to hit targets a fair distance away unless they are stationary or moving roughly toward you.  Elevation differences and the roll of your hull make it more difficult because the vertical autoaim doesn't really help you.

If devs start reading comments on posts who is going to do there job. comments and posts are probably filtered by others, useful points sent to assigned person who decides what to do with suggestions. perhaps they use them on snack breaks to entertain themselves.  -_-   

[Mirza7 235]

VULCAN is actually a good turret even without augments. In modes like siege where tanks cannot afford to hide, it can be very useful.

you could have equipped hornet railgun and usually it gets at least 3 overdrives per battle and you could have killed that guy 6 times (minimum). if that player had equipped defender drone there is no chance of killing even with viking overdrive

you have to adapt to situation and cant leave every battle

3 over drives per battle with rail hornet? Or 3 over drives per minute?  You kidding? I see hornets with over drive active for whole battle.

I can't hide like rat in holes with hornet.. If me too camp with 4-5 other campers in team than I am totally done with this game... If destroying with hornet OD is only solution, I'll never do this skill less act. I know what to do n what not to do...

I never see such buyers in my team? Why? tell me?

There was a time when this game was balanced. That time was only a few years ago. Tanki was great and fun to play. The game was doing well and the amount of players increased day by day. More were online and the game didn't have a bad reputation. I absolutely have no idea why the devs had to wreck that balance. It was fine! We know they want money however they went to get it in the wrong way! You cannot get to Legend without buying. You can't fight in battles without buying. You can't enjoy this game without buying! You know what? Even if you do buy, this game isn't enjoyable! I used to buy (wasn't a heavy buyer) but I played and played and realised that just because you can now play properly since you've bought, it doesn't mean the game is now fun. I can't survive in MM without heavily drugging and it's still hard to survive! 

Remember when Premium account came out? The anger and backlash was insane! Only if our past selves could see the game now. You could only buy Crystals and then premium account after some time but the devs lost control. They noticed that the players will buy however they didn't realise that they won't buy everything. The shop did destroy the game. After premium account the items in the shop expanded rapidly.

Shop paints, kits, containers, tankoins...

I do think containers contributed a bit of unbalance to the game. Containers are good however they do give you a lot of supplies and power. Containers would be better if you couldn't buy them. It may sound weird but it definitely would keep the game intact. Once tanki thought of adding more items to the shop, the game began to crumble. 

Remember, I'm only talking about the P2W aspects of the game. Not the terrible updates they've rolled out over the years.

Once was balanced. Once was fun. Once was playable. Now? It's a different game. 

Unfortunately, there's no way back and the devs won't be stopping anytime soon. Players have the power to change the game but the devs obviously don't want to listen. Let them kill the game we all loved and then they'll see their mistakes. Just when it's too late...

It is actually a generally well-known fact that business owners and managers are some of the most intelligent people. The Developers are definitely not as dumb as you think, they had a reason in this update: To make money. By making players purchase containers to get augments, it is more likely that people will spend money on this game, and the game's profits increase. Similarly, by not allowing Battle Funds in XP/BP and other format battles, they are trying to push players to play in Matchmaking battles more, and when old XP/BP players, for example, try to play in Matchmaking, they may want to expand their combo to include other turrets/hulls, and because of this, they may make a purchase to get crystals to micro-upgrade this new combo. All in all, this update was well designed to increase profits, and I am sure there was a sudden boost in profits as a result.

Bro, I agree with you that money making might be one of the main intention of devs..But you know it peeps were sad about the removal of funds in XP/BP and formatted battles. And there were people who used to play only XP/BP who would move on to MM to complete their daily missions and special ones were a good thing which increased ppl to play MM. But considering the fact that MM had only druggers and ppl who have 9999 gs or who flex with their strong tanks, few were frustrated to play MM as their main mode.

Personally I think that Tanki could have taken the middle ground and made Alterations similar to garage paints. Still available for crystals, but you can also get them from Containers.

Has there been a change to alterations in the garage.The alterations I own are in my garage, but there are no other alterations available for me to buy anymore. Is this a glitch?

Nope, Augments for turrets as well as for hulls can no longer be bought from the Garage. The only way to get them is from containers.

[Blunt-Knife 55]

As one of the mods said, lets see what they say on Friday. If they do not address in the vlog.... well its sad to see that devs do not care about us...

Thunder doesn't have a single good Augment 

I like the Sledgehammer augment the best. It does travel slow and do less damage, but has a reload of -25%.

We can still hit tanks with it. So I like this augment the best for Thunder.
