[Virtue 207]

The new "Invention" looks something like Isida that shoots a ray that heals/does damage as it passes by your tank.

[Sytax 177]

Hmmm.. That's interesting 

[Sacrifice 2,278]

Its a live stream. Not falling for it this time. No-uh. 

[Venem 615]

Could anybody explain the Paints part?

Which paint are the event helpers going to wear?

Are they going to be on Kolhoz special event map also?

EDIT: Got it! The announcement was made simultaneously, so I missed it!

the new invention is a new turret ?

 

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Hmmmmm.....new invention 

[CyborgPenguin 282]

New invention.. probably just old game mechanics restored.

[Azonyx 124]

New turret just looks like an Ultra Isida that shoots like a Twins... but the projectiles have a proximity Isida effect.

Can we also get a new Ultra Striker that shoots big cluster missiles that break up into smaller homing rockets?

How about a Magnum that shoots shells but they fragment in the air raining down a hail of explosive shrapnel when they come down?

The possibilities are endless, turrets shooting little familiars of themselves! Ingenuity +100 

[Gauss-Hornet 489]

So Tesla finally made it to Tanki. Nice.

Looks like a Lightning Ball. Maybe you hold the spacebar down to use it somewhat akin to an Isida and then release the spacebar to fire the energy ball and it has the ability to damage anyone (within the range of its spherical diameter) in it's flight path.

new turret... stuns enemy tank for 0.5 seconds. Also has a 2ns mode of fire- charges up a ball of energy which is  slow moving but after hitting the 1st enemy, gives EMP damage ( removes all supplies and puts them in short cool down) but the energy ball then automatically gets attracted towards a nearby enemy,... thus the energy ball can travel from 1 enemy to another hitting them all one after the other.. i believe i had read an idea about such a turret in ''Ideas for Turrets'' section.

 

look how it looks in main picture of vlog it's a strange design

[Armoured_Phoenix 294]

The new turret works like(somewhat) the tesla tank from RA universe. I've wanted them to make a turret like this *-* wouldn't be surprised if they call it tesla.

I hope it will have a chain-lightning effect

 

[Viking4s 10,791]

Looks like a new turret with crossover ricochet and isida  - Tesla is a nice name. But what about Hawking?  or Singularity.

Or it's the Overdrive of Ares, the fake pink tank shape could be to mislead us. But looking again at it, the turret definitely has a feel of a finalized turret, and it looks like a SCORPION. Actually I really like that new turret shape.

Looking forward to it, it would be a useful feature to damage tanks in ambuscade behind corners of walls. I have a feeling that the two arms/antennas are articulated and will move forward before shooting on the second shooting mode? And retract after while reloading. There are 2 shooting mode (that's the new standard for turret  ). One is just the Tesla sparks, and the other is the  Plasma hovering ball (pictured above). Short-range turret then.

It looks good @Opex-Rah

So who is bored enough to go and count all the windows in Deathtrack? 

[Gauss-Hornet 489]

I guess how Tesla works is that damage is split based on the number of enemies close to the attacker. The more the enemies, the lesser the damage dealt to individual tanks. 

Lol, The Nutty One took my idea of branching nanobot streams and mixed it with the idea of a hybrid melee-medium ranged turret. Hope the result isn't as bad as Gauss.

he could have revamped isida and gave it a second shooting mode, but eh

[wolverine848 13,097]

So... possibly another item to suck away our crystals on yet another protection module.

Fix Matchmaker instead of wasting time on yet another turret.

Honestly I hope it's an alteration for Isida.

Ha yeah protection module, ...good thing I saved some crystals. 
MM is fine.
An alteration for isida? I don't think so, their is clearly 2 shooting mode, and the visual effects are different from isida. It could be a revamp of isida (effect and turret look), but that's not gonna bring more money to TO.

[Sergeant808 26]

It looks like the good old Quake II BFG 10000. The projectile is horrible damage, but even being near it as it passes will cause rays to arc out from it to you. Basically, it's a shot path full of splash damage instead of just the point of projectile impact.

The drawbacks are very slow firing rate, slow projectile speed, and high chance to vaporize yourself.

Watch the example from Quake II and look for the rays right before impact [after the HE-only Doom versions]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6NlT9PXqwE

Note one of the nasty parts of the gun in the V-Log: The projectile arcs back to the shooter as it leaves the barrel...

wow, perfect to tackle several tank at once, just shoot in the middle. It is slow, with long charge that would be the second shooting mode.

I still waiting for 3 things

1. some obtinable alts for gauss
2. The relase of new hull
3. the redisigned bushes that promised us in december
4. (if you don't mind) more shoot effects for guns 

    

    

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

New invention mechanic looks like a gun from ratchet and clank: up your arsenal. I think it was called the plasma coil.

 

Anyway I don't think this should be added into the game as a new turret, maybe as Ares Overdrive.
