update Crusader. Early access.

[alkyng 3,080]

Regardless of the conversation above _{(I have read everything)}

Crusader / Hopper / Ares... long time we haven't any hull, why in this year we have 3 hulls after each other.. before 2017 we hardly to be introduced with a new turret.. but 2019/2020 we had Gauss / Ares / Hopper / Cruasder, why why thats a lot!! in 2020 we had a lot of changes (regardless if it's good or not).. Augments / Mk system / HTML5 / unformal skins / and 3 hovering disgusting hulls / OPs (Hornet/Hopper/EMP/etc..).. why why these a lot of changes, I think for any player who played in 2019/2018 and return today, will shocked with these changes..

I left the game a while more than one year in 2019, when I returned I learnt everything from the ground up..

I think it's better to bring at least a good updates to make us more tolerant with HTML5 to swallow it easily

@Stratosphere

Thanks for adding Crusader to the Wiki. Also thanks for letting us know that the MU page is still in progress.

Please can you give me some information on the Tesla turret.

There is currently no information about the "Tesla" as it has not been released yet.

Thanks, Wow, this is the first Overdrive that has different spec depending of the hull Mark. Interesting to see that splash damage and impact force are detailed for a change:
- 1 meter max splashlah radius
- 10 meter splash radius  - with a minimum 10% splash 
> This explains the weird value seen on YT videos.

Crusader	Мk1	Мk2	Мk3	Мk4	Мk5	Мk6	Мk7	Мk7+
Protection (hp)	1 500	1 852.94	1 985.29	2 117.65	2 294.12	2 470.59	2 647.06	3 000
Top Speed (m/sec)	7.30	7.58	7.69	7.79	7.94	8.08	8.22	8.50
Overdrive damage (HP)	1 500	1 852.94	1 985.29	2 117.65	2 294.12	2 470.59	2 647.06	3 000
Overdrive Impact force	500	617.65	661.76	705.88	764.71	823.53	882.35	1 000

 

Crusader belongs to the medium hull class same as Viking, Hunter and Dictator. But it has the top speed of the Dictator. So it seems that Tanki wish to neatly keep separated the three hull class by weight and the speed range even if this mean having two hulls with the same weight and speed.

It does not make any sense to buy UT and get all augments and even the XT version of the Crusader and not to be able to have  the original CRUSADER  , the sequence of the rewards are without any logic and with a wrong algorithm , i got from the 450 UT : 3 Crusaders Augments and the XT Version , i cannot even see them !! NON SENSE !!!!!!

[alkyng 3,080]

@MrCruise Maybe, true. I haven't played Tanki X enough before it get closed.

I think this year is special in everything, regardless of the things that came from Tanki X. Like incredibly OPs in this year like Hornet or one Vulcan Augmnet, or EMP Gauss. 

before 2020 we yes have some OPs, but with a reasonable strength. not like these days with horrible strength. Like in example Freeze or Ricoceht, they both one day converted to OPs but with reasonable strength not like EMP in example (I know it's broken example because it's with 50$).

Hovering hulls helps Mobile players and also the noobs along way. because the less-skilled players are in a hardly playing way like mobile players. for sure I didn't mean every Hovering hull user is noob, nope I think in contradicta most their users are in a good playing, but I mean those hulls main purpose is helping who in a lack of control. (and for sure I disagree and didn't like the hovering hulls for these reasons) but for sure I'm about to buy one of them because they're very powerful. 

Btw, for sure you didn't have to explain how the things depends in luck aren't balanced. Because I think the most players here directly consider everything depend on containers is a P2W thing.

Thanks for the link to the Tesla turret. When will the turret be ready? Will it be out for Christmas?

There have been no news about release of Tesla turret, and there was no specific date promised. It's most likely delayed until further notice.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Maf

There is a thread that discusses about this turret here: [Review] The Tesla Turret (Developer’s Corner #2) - Amateur Writing - Tanki Online Forum (tankiforum.com)

This thread assumes that Tesla is available. Why is this thread here is Tesla does not exist?

The thread is just a player-made article in Amateur Writing section. It's assuming a bunch of things and speculating based on what developers actually said about the turret. It's an interesting text, but definitely not to be taken seriously.

Hi Riddler, your expectation and interpretation goes beyond my article content which do not assume at all that it is available, enhance the last chapter discussing its potential release date. I assumed end of this year but that is assumption, not certainty, as now they are focussing on new hulls and juggling with the MM mechanics (number of players, map size...).
The article mainly discuss what was shared by developers (2 v-log teasers) and I added my onw ideas on the missing bits that people would discuss, guess or wish.

One should never take seriously what developers said at any one moment in time, because they will change their mind later, often more than one, and once in a while will deny what was said... For example it was said that Tesla will come after Ares release (in August), but then they released Hopper in September. Later (livestream Nov 2020) they said that Tesla will not be released this year, and that they will not promise to release it next year either (2021), because the current main focus is to release more hull, about two: one hovering and another one maybe with legs instead of tracks. As of this week another hovering hull (Crusader) has been release. So now we maybe wait for another hull (maybe with leg) to be maybe released, but you never know it could be maybe another hover type. Saying that it means maybe 2-4 months at least, which bring us to March 2021. So my bet for Tesla is on for the 12th Tanki birthday. Wait and see which predictions will match reality, as long as by June we still have over 4k players at peak time that is.

@wolverine848 Hey, <<But there are levels of P2W.  And finding the balance (how much P2W) is the trick - which TO is currently losing.>>. I agree to that.., there are levels. The game is obviously more P2W than it used to be. We all know that, and it's more than it should be. Changing the Hoppers' overdrive does not mean balance OR does not mean balance enough! They need to do more than that! (There are too many gaps between buyers and non-buyers)

--About the face.., NO it was a sincere smile! 

The OD for hopper is OP.  No one likes playing against in cap battle modes because it really is unfair.

It needs a nerf, just like hornet finally got (somewhat).

Baby steps.

@wolverine848 Damn.., for some reason I like u!!! r u going to watch the live stream?

The nerf is not coming soon I guess!

I want this experiment to END.., those SHAFTS!!! I join a battle and 5 lasers are pointing at me 

Took them over two years to "balance" hornet.  Would not be surprised if they wait that long for Hopper.

And yeah, 16 vs 16 is too many.   Very hard to cap with so many defenders.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I do understand that developers change their minds. That's not always the case, but I understand that they take decisions.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

So after a decade, Tanki decided to shove our faces with 3 new hulls, 2 of which seem to come out of nowhere.

I miss the days when Tanki gave us info on new equipment months before they released it.

Bet you can't.

@wolverine848 -- ODs make the power gap between buyers and non-buyers even larger AND if that wasn't the case you would say the same thing about drones and if not drones.., turret/hull Augments. To make this clear.., This game either is a P2W OR it's not. There is not something in between. So there being gaps between buyers and non-buyers is totally normal for this game. At least everyone has overdrives -- but not everyone has Augments or Drones or whatever! When a non-buyer has Hoppers' Overdrive he can use it on a buyer who is stronger than him. But if Hoppers' Overdrive is not overpowered and you're against a buyer who has Augments and a Drone, what can you do!?? I tell you what.., Nothing.., one more chance you had of beating him is gone. At least now you have something strong to use over them even if they have it as well. There are both advantages AND disadvantages when it comes to Hoppers' Overdrive.., you can't expect only advantages. They nerfed hornets overdrive but how -- with what cost -- Think carefully about that -- Did anything really change for buyers! If they nerf Hopper's overdrive whatever they take from it they will put it somewhere else. A buyer will simply be like ''Oh, I really liked that overdrive.., too bad we can't have it anymore'' and that's it.., they will simply not care that much because GUESS WHAT.., it's not gonna affect THEM.

If you can't process all the information given you can read it again and again and then maybe...! 

Well i think it's you that is having problems with thought processing.

In the real world of TO how many F2P have the flying cheat, now think carefully, but not to hard mind you, just in-case you blow a fuse.

So the hull is not going to be available in the garage ever? I got the XT skin on my low rank account but not the hull, how does that play into this?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I guess that Crusader would have to be released in the garage when the Christmas sales begins so that players can benefit on buying this hull at a good discount. That is the best alternative I have for the garage release of this hull.

It's rumored that by repeating a name 3 times, the developers will finally announce it.
