Gear Score system VS V&R system

[alkyng 3,080]

Hi guys..

Which do you prefer more, the new GS system which you can click on TAB and you can see the GS number for each player & Augments/Protections

Or the old V&R system that was in Flash,, when you click in V or R keys to show the player infront of you Turret/Hull/Drones and their MU's and Augments/Protections in details ?

From a long time I think about creating this topic

Don't leave without voting or saying your opinion (GS or V/R) !

Of course that I prefer the V/R system. it much more comfortable than the GS system.

I thought that the developers will bring it back, but they didn't....

I prefer the GS system, it's quicker. When I join a battle I press Tab and in a few seconds I can decide if it's worth to play or if it's better to search for another game.

Never thought I'd say this, but I prefer the GS system.

Knowing how GS is calculated becomes easy after playing for long enough, and I can check someone's profile to see if they are using the same Mk Hull & Turret or different Mks.

The only problem with GS is the low numbers for augments and drones and high numbers for hulls and turrets. This account could soon have a GS of 8000 without drones or augments, but someone with a lower GS could have powerful augments and powerful drones and beat me easily.

Many drones don't need MUs to be effective. MUs just make them more effective.

But at least augments are visible on the TAB screen. Drones should be on there as well.

I didn't like V/R because I couldn't read the all of the information because everything was moving too quickly. It worked for augments and modules, but not equipment levels. The new TAB window is better.

Literally 0 advantage to have V/R over GS atleast for me. I tend to check my score a lot anyway out of habit and having the GS there is much better. Another plus is seeing which team is stronger based on GS and you can leave battle early if it's too unbalanced.

i kinda liked pressing R so i could see what protections an enemy had, it's a shame they removed it

But now i'm also used to the gearscore, press TAB and check what everyone has.

Why not both together? 

[alkyng 3,080]

Ok I see R/V system is way more better than the meaningless GS system.. When I face a player infront of me what will I do? check the scoreboard and search for his name then check his GS number (which already have many flaws) and check his Augments/Protections?    Or just I simply can click V/R and I will see everything?

Also what GS indicate for? meaningless number, will that show me the turret/hull upgrades? will that show me which drone they use?  Some players are using an Mk8 turret with Mk1 GS, you will see their GS is a very low, but you don't know that they already are playing with Mk8 turrets. Such a defective system!

Tanki developers have replaced V/R to a comprehensive GS system, because they think it's enough.  But I show them how GS is a defective and V/R is way more better.   If they both are exist, I don't have any problem (but I will use V/R only).

Exactly. I really hope the "V&R" system will be added to HTML5 at some point, alongside the current GS system.

If I added "Both" into the poll, everyone will choose it and no means for the topic and it will get closed and nothing will change in the game.. But as they implement GS as a completely replacement for V&R, I think in this topic we show that V&R is better imo.. "Both" is meaningless.

Both systems have their pros and cons, it's hard to tell which is better.

Nope. I'd prefer Efficiency VS Efficiency. 

 

Once and if they get that fixed.

Without drones/augments V/R would be preferred. But GS is useful only by indicating obviously weak (< 2k) or strong (> 9k) setups. In between it's mostly useless. Seen many times how  teams with lesser GS were beating the crap out of supposedly stronger opponents. All in all I miss old days when you could assess players by their looks. When skins/paints meant something.

I prefer the GS system as it gives you a brief overview of your teama nd the enemy team. Lots of times, I need to check if the enemy team has protections against me, and eith the GS system its very easy to do that.
