Thank you so much Tanki!! A lot of players are saying how Tanki is dying because the devs won't listen to the players. I think everyone will like the decision to reverse the previous update. It is good to know that the devs are listening to the players. 

To me, stuff like this is more painful to read than Tanki's blathering horse pucky.

The thousands of people who spammed the original topic with angry messages towards the devs:

 

And I'm super proud of myself & all of you, my fellow tankers who stood together in this hard time

If you ask me, they should get rid of immunity altogether. Anying invincible just wrecks game balance. e.g. mammoth overdrive.

It is a devs fantasy. Apparently there is too many protection module for these 2 turrets, so if you are ones railgun or thunder fanatics you will have hard time playing compared to the other turrets. The idea from the devs, I think, was to increase the potency of other less used turret (freez, firebird) vie removal of the freez and afterburn from the protection modules against freez and firebird. But it seems that it did not happen, instead the railgun or thunder fanatics are now using other turrets (according to the first post) - there is probably slightly more protection module of the other turrets but at 250k it will take some time to have a significant amount of players to invest in new module. So their plan did not bear the right fruits. lol. There is maybe more to it, but I can't figure what, because the new system do not change the parameters in anyway. lol 

Actually, it's not a big deal for most railgun players as they use hornet often. You know, hornet OD can simply neglect enemy's 50% module & DA

Railgun and Hornet are 2 different things. The xp-bp format restriction was to target Railgun user, not Hornet users. The Hornet OD is beneficial for every turrets and I think there is still a big liking for Viking hull, even with the OP Hunter.

There is not many option available for legend ranks, the obvious one would be to increase the potency of this turrets. Drawback is that more players will buy the thunder protection. Also the introduction of new OP turrets like magnum and Gauss.

At low level, when you buy a kit you get the turret and its protection so it should be 50/50.
For railgun devs went even further by removing xp-bp format (below mk7) so players will not be drawn to buy this turrets in the early stage. But it is an efficient turret deadly at any range, so that won't be enough.

The other option is to make other turrets stronger indirectly, enhance this new augments.

The other option they should try is to reduce the cost of protection modules in parallels, this will allow more of them in the game.  Everything is tightly entwined now.

 

Was a poor attempt (if even that, as opposed to... a money-grab).

Since I now have no protection from afterburn (every firebird will have compact tanks), there's no point in equipping Fox.

So I'll continue to equip protections vs 3 turrets that can kill me before I know they are there. Rail/Gauss/Shaft with honorable mentions Magnum & Vulcan

I agree. Rail/Gaus/Thunder for me. But I adapt depending of the map, Magnum, Vulcan and more and more smoky nowadays.

I see you guys decided to pull a "Sonic"

I use smoky in Pro-battles.  It' not uncommon to see 50% of enemy team equipped with that protection.

As an aside - Sam was saying no more funds in ANY Pro-Battles.  That true?

Another patch on injured non-buyers body with more intensive doze.

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

Nice, they finally listened to us lol. But the prices aren't good anymore...

 

Ngl, it kinda makes it look like this was all planned out or something, just so that they could make the Augments more expensive..

[JESUSaves2 98]

idk that was possible

only proves the impossible is possible

[F41TH 483]

Interesting how 15% of the players and 100% of the "helpers" tink this is a good update.  While the other 85% of the players ... not so much.

All things have some advantages and disadvantages points. Not everyone likes everything, but in my opinion this update is better than the previous update. Atleast augment are back in the garage again. I know many non-buyers disappointed because of the hull augment but i want to told you i am non-buyer too but it's just depends on your perspective how you take this update in a positive or negative way.

From what I understand, all alterations are still in containers. So now you just have more ways to get them. Granted - it's not easy and the TK prices aren't realistic for a F2P player, but you CAN get them from containers.
