It means you are totally vulnerable (to every enemy).

But according to what I have played till now, whenever I use Hornet's overdrive, it's only the prot hat it ignores. But most of the times, it doesn't even ignore the double armour. I have MK3 Railgun with Large Calliber Rounds (got it from container) and when I equip Double damage, I only do like 600 damage even when my overdrive is active. Means, wtf Tanki?!?!? But this happens just most of the times, not everytime. I dunno if this is a bug or something

Your OD is only effective on enemies you can see (LOS) when you activate it.

No more hiding behind a  building, activating, then popping out in ambush.

You have to use strategy now for it to be effective.

Question: Why Hunters can no longer stun the Juggernaut player? I can't use my hunter OD against them.

Patch Update #626 - Released 29th October 2020 = >  Juggernaut now has immunity from all status effects
 

Gonna be difficult to kill the jug now, goodbye all the goodies from specific Overdrive and Turret Augments:
 Fire — a tank’s temperature is above normal - so from 50% to 100% (Hopper heat is now ineffective)
 Freezing — a tank’s temperature is below normal - so from 50% to 100% (Dictator cold is now ineffective)
 EMP — supplies force reload  -  Jug is already not affected
 Stun — a tank is not able to move - a/ No more stun possible (Hunter and Hopper)

            Plus now =>   AP - Armor Piercing - a/ Double armor was already not affected,  b/ Keep its 3 protections module (which is not a problem actually) and Titan's dome protective effect (only anecdotal pairing) against Hornet OD.

=> The main loser from this update is Hunter overdrive.

I'm seeing many players calling Hornet's Overdrive useless now. I wonder why. All it did was become more team-oriented. And even then, it still has many things going for it, such as a fast recharge, and the unecessarily long retention period. 

 

Let's talk about the retention period, because after the change, Hornet's retention period is VERY dangerous for enemies now. Before it was more of a secondary characteristic that came together with the others to make it efficient powerhouse it was. But now, it has immense utility for the team if the Hornet is willing to sacrifice themselves. 

All you have to do is activate your Overdrive right before you die and any enemy in your line of sight will be armour-pierced. Meanwhile, you retain 80-90% of your Overdrive charge, waiting to do it again. 

 

You don't have to do this intentionally and put yourself in danger just to get value out of it. The Hornet can just decide to do it if death is inevitable. And while completing the 45-Overdrive mission, I've helped my team out a lot thanks to that retention period.

Because they are used to having a god-like OD and have very little skill in using something that requires a bit of stratgey.

And they can no longer hide in safety while they activate their OD.  There's actually a danger element.

This mean that an enemy shot at you with a turret paired with an AP (Armor Piercing) tech/turret Augment and for him your MK7+ has only a 3000 HP. But for all other enemy you have the double armor on, so 6000 HP.
If you had the AP immunity hull augment it would only show on the HTML5 Scoreboard.

So now it's Wasp bomb and Viking OD to kill JUG I guess.

Some ODs still get advantages over others while Hunter and Hornet ODs are useless against JUG.

It is funny you say that because, many players agreed that the radar thingy was useless due to the size of the maps (even Hunter lovers). It was already team-oriented, just this element is now increased because retained. Trying to sell that now to the guys who used Hornet only for easy kill won't work, it was only useful for those who already knew about it capability.
That is a good tip, will definitely use that when circumstances are favourable  
However the new Overdrive needs better visibility on which tanks has been tag, it seems that it only work with the AP turret augment. I tried end did not see any clues. 
one tips 2 benefis, it helps for the special overdrive missions.

Hornet overdrive was useless against the Jug in the first place (the jug retain its double armor, and low ranks have few protection module and low % protection). The only interest was to see how much health was left so you knew when you could give the death blow and get max score. 

And that is a good thing that Hunter does not work anymore on the Jug, that mechanics was too OP.

I loved this update, "nerfaram" Hornet's Overdrive - Scout Radar, now we just need to nerf Incendiary mix and Heavy plasmagun

[aBiglongfatNICK 68]

so they neerf 1 of the most op overdrives in game and made it possible for massive buyers to have it in all their tanks making them more powerfull .

Cant wait to see this in battle, will be a massacre

Are you kidding me?  No one's going to use hornet anymore, because it got nerfed so much.  Disappointing

Great.  You've just added another Gauss user to the game.  Thanks a lottttt. 

no one cares anymore, but maybe more Gauss users will eventually lead it to a nerf.

Looks like they still are.  Lots of them in all battles today.

Yeah and they'll nerf the arcade shot again, leaving the obviously problematic sniping shot alone.

Honestly the announcement doesn't give off the vibes that hornet has been "nerfed". All that happened was that it's defense ignore name is now called "armor piercing" and that you gotta spend $$ to get the immunity.

 

Defense ignoring and armor piercing both practically mean the same thing.

It will be still used. The Overdrive offensive element was debuffed but it still has some stings, certainly more difficult to execute but manageable. The other elements, enemy health and position, was increased. Yes Hornet changes tunes down the assassin side and but it increase the scouting side for the sake of the team work. You will get use to it in no time, if you like to kill with no team interest, then switch to Vikings hull.

This update sucks, i have hornet + railgun and it is so weak now... this gun is supposed to one-shot kill all light-medium hull often, but they nerfed it and now it is pretty useless because everyone have protetion against it!

Individually there is a bit of a nerf.  The hornet now only has advantage on enemies that were within LOS when OD was activated.  Enemies out of sight will not be affected.

BUT - team-wise it could be huge advantage.  Those affected are vulnerable to all enemies. 

The dumb part though with this change is... the Titan Dome is not armor - so how can it be "broken"?  Especially if the Dome is deployed after the OD is activated.

But, if an enemy has AP effect applied to his tank, wouldn't all my teammates deal full damage to that enemy?

Correct.  It's the target that is affected now, not the hornet-user.
