The content of the wiki is one thing, reality is another. Did you checked that the enemy tanks is not slowed down when using this augment?

No. I am relying on wiki. My freeze turret is MK4, so I am not using it at all whereas other turrets are MK7+. I am just curious about this augment and why should someone use it since it is so weak (55% damage).

There is disadvantages for other turrets too. Once the Hammer shoot 3 times it needs to recharge, by that time it is defenceless, you do not want to linger around with an empty gun so you would prefer kills the opponent before you run out of amo, so this is a really awkward augment for Hammer.
I am pretty sure that there is disadvantages for the other turret too linked to its mechanics.

You did not understand what my argument is. Of course every turret has its own advantages and disadvantages. However with the AP effect augment for hammer, nothing is taken away from the hammer behavior according to wiki. Not like freeze where the toxic mix almost cuts the damage in half.

Most of them don't have statistical downsides that make them inferior to Stock in some way.

Tokamak is right. Reality is often slightly different to what the Wiki has. The Wiki is manually updated, and as such, is prone to have outdated or inaccurate information at times. It is better to ask a question on the Forum (in its relevant thread) about a concern you have than to consult the Wiki for everything.

It is a primarily supportive augment. You sacrifice damage output for team utility, similar to the Shock Freeze augment. 

Does it require a buff? Perhaps, but it is an exclusive augment that adds a twist to the current gameplay in Tanki.

I think, some other AP-augs needs to be nerfed)

AP doesn't work for splash damage  

yes that is ridiculous drawback compared to the other turrets

Ideas for augments pt.2: Close range turrets

Hammer

Compacted buckshot

• + Damage per pellet increased
• - Range of maximum damage reduced
• - Impact force per pellet reduced

Revolver charging system

• + Reload between shots reduced

• - Clip reload time heavily increased (like doubled)

Rubberized shot

• + Max number of bounces increased

Stun shot

• + Ricocheting shot stun enemies for a brief time
• - Triggered only when most of the pellets hit the target

North wind (bro of the Dragon's Breath)

• + Each pellet freezes the enemy a bit

Twins

Destabilized plasma

• + Minimum splash-damage radius increased
• + Weak splash-damage increased
• - Range of maximum damage reduced
• - Weak damage reduced

Phantom plasma

• + Shells shoot through tanks
• + Self-damage disabled
• - Splash-damage disabled
• - Projectile speed reduced

Minus-field generator

Pyromaniac

• + The projectile ignites enemies
• + Reload time reduced
• + Self-damage disabled
• - Minimum damage heavily reduced

Armor-piercing plasma

• - Rotation speed reduced
• - Rotation acceleration reduced

High-energy projectiles

• + Maximum damage increased
• - Reload time increased
• - Energy per shot increased

Magnetic stabilizer

• + Range of minimum damage very heavily increased
• + Maximum number of bounces increased
• + Reloading increased
• - Projectile speed heavily reduced
• - Reload time increased

Snowball generator

• + Ricocheting projectile freezes the enemy a bit
• - Maximum number of bounces reduced

Remagnetizing projectiles

• + Ricocheting projectile deactivate enemy's supplies
• - Triggered only when several hits in a row
• - Maximum number of bounces reduced

I have a cool idea for gauss augments

Cryo-salvo (245,000 crystals)

Every salvo shot gives an additional freeze effect = 
Maximum damage = -25% 
Splash radius = -35% 
Aim time = +30% 

Incendiary-salvo (245,000 crystals)

Every salvo shot gives an additional fire-burn effect = 
Maximum damage = -25% 
Splash radius = -35% 
Aim time = +30% 

Just a concept, it sounds kinda trash because of all the  parts, you could tweak it a bit

I had an idea that would help the non-buyers of the game. I suggest that immunities should be made for crystals so that non-buyers can attain them without having to depend on luck because an immunity is a strategic advantage that non-buyers cannot properly access. You have to be extremely lucky to get the exact immunity you want for the exact tank you want it for. Either that or you can spam-buy containers and get all of the hull augments. However, they should not be easy for non-buyers to get, so I believe that they should be made expensive, around 500k-800k crystals per hull immunity would sound fine. And keep resistance augments as they are, they can act as a cheaper alternative to immunities.

I have a pretty pointless idea for an augment of Magnum... but it's an idea all the same.

Augment: Power of shot remains fixed at maximum, but angle of elevation (vertical angle) varies from 0 to 90 degrees depending on how long you press spacebar (shooting button). So if you quickly press and release the shooting button, the projectile will go at maximum power and 0 degrees elevation. If you press and hold the shooting button for a long time and ghen release, the projectile will go at full power and 90 degrees elevation.

It's quite pointless tbh, but interesting.

EDIT: After a shot, the angle of elevation will get reset to 0 degrees.

Thanks BloodPressure for that remark about angle-reset! I've added a clarification.

I wouldn't call the concept pointless, because you are able to fire full-powered shots straight from the start. I am sure plenty of players would be interested. But after you fire a shot, I suppose your barrel will slowly get reset to 0 degrees?

I need my lovely heavy Vulcan. So, make an argument out of this.

Legacy augments idea!

We already have Incendiary mix and Shock freeze. Next would be much asked vampirism-augment for Isida. Compacted buckshot for Hammer (pellets from 9 to 21 with impact force and damage decrease + it'll not bounce). Twins already have Stabilized plasma and Ricoshet gets a High-energy rounds (make it closer to Hammer not to Twins as it is right now). Smoky have Assault and Supercumulative rounds. IDK about Striker. Heavy machine gun for Vulcan (you know good old slow Vulcan). IDK about Thunder (it seems devs as well, 'cause we have only 3 augs with reload reduction). Railgun have Large-caliber rounds. IDK abut Magnum, Shaft and Gauss.

IDKs may be filled by suggestions by others.

Cloaking Device

It inactivates DA for the duration. You are hidden from Hornet's OD radar (ball and flag will also be under your cloak) and there will be no red outline of your tank from any opposing turrets pointed right at you. It does NOT make you invisible on sight, just invisible to a tank's optics. You will still take a hit as normal. If you are hidden and happen to be hit by a stray shot, the damage indicator is NOT cloaked. Also includes Striker being unable to lock on to you.

If I am using heavy/light weight or heat/cold resistance, I think players should be allowed to equip another augment. Obviously, you cannot use heat resistance and immunity or heavy and light weight at once, but heavy weight and heat immuntiy for example. Sorry if this sounds ridiculous, but the weight augments and resistances are perhaps the weakest of the augments, so equiping something else with them would be nice. 

I am somewhat biased in this I suppose, since Viking without heavy weight is harder to use.

It would be more balanced if you could equip one of the resistance augments together with one of the weight augments. Rest of the hull augments are good enough by themselves.

It does sound ridiculous.

Picture a wasp + Defender drone + (emp immunity + heavy-weight) augments.  Good luck stopping them from capping a flag or scoring a goal.

Buyers are more likely to have more options.  So another pay-to-win layer added to the onion.

lol, sure, more balanced, for whom?
