Hornet OD and Vulcan damage have both been issues for game balance.  Together they were a nightmare when on the receiving end.  I am happy to see it has been at least partially addressed.  I've been frustrated lately having to change to the combo as well when facing Vulcan/Hornets.

I hope Hornet OD will be addressed at some point in the near future.  I shouldn't feel such a jolt of happiness when I happen to survive an encounter with a Hornet OD.

Hornet is not the only Hull used with Vulcan. Honestly I don't understand this decision. I have been using Vulcan with dict. and it so difficult to kill, As soon as I start firing and come out of hiding I am attacked by multiple enemies alerted by loud sound and bullets easily seen. enemy always has the choice of avoiding its fire so I have to chase them avoiding mines..... Its damage is not huge to begin with. Moreover with protection modules its damage can be easily avoided.

idk about hornets od, I personally use hornet/rail as my main combo and its really nice that it can ignore buyers drugs and their defender drone. They could maybe add more time for it to charge up idk.

[Mrs.Unpopular 7]

I know this has nothing to do with this announcement, but I mean they should get rid of batteries for drones or at least lower down the price. I mean tanks don't need gas to drive so drones shouldnt need batteries to operate?

Uh... yes you do know.  You personally like it - no kidding.

And you forgot to mention ignore the expensive modules too.

It needs a nerf when my fully mk8 hunter with 47% module and DA gets one-shotted.  2 or 3 of them on same team and Titan becomes useless too.

Huh? Hornet's OD is OP that's for sure. But why remove Brutus? Brutus is not even close to OP.

You mean indefinitely blocking your account (render it inaccessible permanently).

In most cases though you aren't getting one shot since hornets od doesn't last for a whole battle. So don't get upset for getting one-shot two or three times per game.

Wait wut?

2 or 3 times per game.  LOL.  Don't be so naive.

Oh wait... that's how many times YOU one-shot enemies in a battle.  Well hate to say it but ur behind the curve.

And by the way - you get more than one OD per battle.  Just sayin'

It's not my fault you don't know how to use the OD to it's full potential.

With hornet and rail as your main I would hope so.

So let's say you do know how to use it.  If that's the case then you 1. understand what I was talking about and 2. your comments were disingenuous in order to defend the OD as it is by far your most used hull.  I wasn't being rude - I was just correcting your "mis-statements".

Because of what she said I had to check her profile and yours.

It's not important, because you could have lower k/d because of parkour, or Isida, or play style, and so on.

And hers could be higher because of parkour, or play style, or equpemnt, and so on.

It is getting very discouraging trying to play Tanki anymore.  I stopped playing in the upper ranks because of the sheer grind factor...just spawn/die/repeat...maybe, if you are lucky, you get a shot off now and then.  Mid-ranks have always been difficult and made even worse in the last year or so which left the low ranks to play and enjoy. 

I've been having fun in the lower ranks because there are less magic foo-foo dopdads  like drones and a zillion augments.  The biggest factor was you could stay alive long enough to drive around a bit, even sometimes get to the point where you can recognize a team player or a talented opponent.  It wasn't just spawn/die/spawn/shoot/die, there was, sometimes room for a bit of strategy...not often, but sometimes.

Now even the low ranks seem to be getting trashed as far as fun goes.  The rank brackets are so wide that it is quickly becoming almost the same kind of grind the upper ranks have been.  Even with just the 3X XP, you rank up so quickly that you are thrown into highly outmatched rank brackets within mere minutes of a new account.  The concentration of buyers to freebies (less upgraded/max drugged) has gone up dramatically in the lower ranks as freebie players just stopped playing because of the gross XP.  Now it will be 6X XP for the weekend.

I was having some fun with a personal race to WO1, but it is such a grind that I don't think I even want to bother...the game-play just isn't fun anymore.  I think these foolish foolish greedy shortsighted irritating devs have finally ruined the game completely (for me at least). 

I'll give the Race to WO1 Friday and see how it goes.  There are still a few hours around peak play times that MM has a big enough pool of players to generate decent matches, but I miss being able to enjoy Tanki at any hour...now it may only be three or four hours before peak and an hour a hour after...so a five/six hour window to still have a decent battle generated.  Very discouraging.  And we are gonna get HTML on top of the 3X-6X XP garbage.  It may be just too much for me.

Likely because the low-to-mid rank players that understand what is happening are sitting it out.

Less players = even wider rank-brackets.

You say these missions are going to "keep you going" and you're going to "enjoy" this event? Looks like you've really been "kept going" and "enjoying" the game recently, lol.

You can make positive comments about stuff without pretending like you actually play the game.

Heh heh heh...alright, buddy.

Riddle me this - why do you think I specifically left my progress at Generalissimo? Hmm? Thought of anything yet?

Well, if you even cared to check my true progress, you'd first go and ask someone who knows me about why I don't play on my main account.

But no. Jumping to conclusions with a condescending attitude is more important, right? After all, it's only natural to trash other players with the utmost arrogance of a child and the absolute animosity for someone that didn't even do anything to you.

Next time, please at least pretend to care instead of just creating hate for the update and for me.

Okay, maybe I should at least *try* to rank up this weekend...

1. ODs make the game into who hits shift first. Also overdrives charge FASTER for the winning team, making the losers impossible to catch up.

2. Drones are a lame p2w cash grab. 300 crystals per battery and you can’t turn it off?

3. No, I mean completely wiping it off the servers if that’s possible.

In mobile version i can't see the missions, specials, daily, weekly ... just loading forever screen, please fix! I tried to uninstall / install the game but not working.

I see...so damage nerf it is (as I mentioned in my edited comment above).  It'd be interesting to see Magnum's damage be nerfed to the extent that it can't KO medium hulls with DD+Magnum shots.  It'd sure ruin many Magnum players' plans for the long-range Special Mission for this weekend.

GUYS magnum is fine along with vulcan its HORNET that is the real issue its to OP and enhances these two particular turrets to such a degree they are nigh on impossible to play against in battles.

The only good thing about HORNET players are those that lose internet connection for the duration of the summer. You have a nice couple months now hope never to see you in battle for quite awhile.
