Protection and Augments

[LuckyLuke 111]

Why the protection and augments are not at all working for me?

I have enabled shaft protection, but my hull is destroyed in the first shot I receive from the shaft?

I have firebird protection, but my hull is destroyed immediately when firebird opens fire

I have augments for heat resistance and enabled it. It does not work either.

I have written to Tankionline but they do have not responded either.

What is the problem here?

Your garage is way too diverse (and an example of the positive effects increased EXP is having on the game). 

 

Everthing in your profile is severely undergraded for your rank, which becomes even worse if your Brutus drone does not have many upgrades. All of this decreases the effective HP and firepower of your tank, which results in you keeling over from the slightest touch from an enemy. 

 

Your top priority is to choose one combo and upgrade that, while also upgrading your Brutus. It will be hard for you because you're starting this process very late.

There are ways to increase turret damage and/or ignore protection.

Something like Shaft Heavy Capacitors augment would be able to one-shot a light hull even if it had 50% Shaft protection, while with Booster drone they would one-shot even a heavy hull. Same for Firebird — using Booster will massively increase damage output for 3 seconds, and there's also possibility of a high damage critical hit.

There's also the AP status effect, which means your modules and armour are inactive while you are under the effect.
Heat resistance does work, but it doesn't make you completely immune to the fire effect. It only reduces the effect's duration, and I think you also take less damage from burning (but not from Firebird itself).

your enemy is too OP, then this may happen.

[LuckyLuke 111]

Thank you. In my case whether it is light hull or heavy hull,  shaft is able to destroy it in one shot .  Same with firebird. All firebird or practically any weapons almost able to destroy my hull in single shot. I understand the augment I have is only a heat resistance not heat proof still firebird is able to destroy the hull easily as if augment is not equipped.

Grab a medium/heavy hull + 50% Eagle if you want to survive against HC. Speaking of that...

Only aim for Eagle module if Shaft is an absolute annoyance (especially campers).

Do you use boosted armour supply? If the enemy has boosted damage, and you don't have boosted armour, you might get destroyed really fast. Try to complete all the daily and weekly missions to get supplies.

[LuckyLuke 111]

I do play the missions. what do you mean by boosted armor supply?

Boosted armour is what "Double armour" used to be called. It's the supply that increases your armour, which you activate by pressing 2 (by default).

It's called memorizing all module names.

1. Here is reference, make sure get medium hulls / heavy hull to survive better (mu mk7 only, dont mu mk1-6.) and get some immus from shard container

  * Dictator overdrive give you extra health kit and supplies

  * titan overdrive give you safe protection dome

  * mammoth overdrive give you extra life boost

  * ares overdrive give you full healing and defensing

2. most important, get Brutus drone to level 20, so your double amor supply becomes Truely Double Amor (100% extra protection instead 50% extra);

3. then you may consider better drone to level 20 for better survive, like Defender Drone (200% extra protection compare to 100% of brutus drone,) or LifeGuard drone (give you extra life to die, so people need to kill you twice to destory you.)

4. get module and mu mk7 only, dont mu mk1-6.

once you get all max when you reach legend, you can truly survive.

here is your shopping list: (still have room to improve)

I use double armor. Not finding effective

[LuckyLuke 111]

Which option would reduce the cool down time to launch the attack quickly? In few games, I find using striker is useless And in some games I find viking or large hulls useless to get more scores where I opt for wasp so I can blast the crowd acting as a suicide squad

[Crossbone 516]

My advise to you is to ditch this account and start anew. You're gonna need one combo and Brutus drone, if that one combo is versatile meaning the turret is fun to use and can be used at any range while the hull is fast, with a good amount of HP and an Overdrive that you can use at any range.

I have RRE striker and crusader with Brutus drone which meets all these requirements.

After that you're gonna want to play MM only to complete missions, extra battles only if a certain item that you want is within reach.

If you're able to get Tanki Online mobile for your phone. You'd be able to change missions through watching ads rather than spending crystals on them (might take your time though). You could also use the mobile version to open containers you get.

 

Anyway good luck soldier.

You will have lots of problems with this account with the stats in your profile unless you want to spend $. Your problems will be compounded the higher you move up the ranks. You can park this account and use the mobile version to collect free containers and crystals to give yourself a better fighting chance down the road. Start a new account and make sure you equipment is closer to your rank. Good luck.

I should have said, 'I agree with Crossbone about luckylook500's account being dead'.

You are getting destroyed not because protections are ineffective, but because your equipment is simply too weak.

• Most of your equipment is Mk2 and Mk3. At your rank, most players have at Mk5 equipment or higher.
• Most of your protection modules are Mk2 and Mk3, which offer only 10% and 15% protection respectively.

For example, your Mk3 Viking has only 1941 health, while an Mk5 Shaft does up to 2620 damage. Even with 15% protection you will always get one-shotted. You need to upgrade your equipment.

Oh ok. Misunderstanding has been cleared up.

[frezeandvik 71]

You have to upgrade your Shaft protection to a level where you can be assured that you wont get one-shot for your hull. Other than that, Shaft protection is completely useless.

For Firebird.. Melee turrets are pretty strong and can destroy you easily if you are in their area, 50% protections may protect you for a bit more seconds. But 15% protection wont make a change.

Ranking to quickly and your garage not being able to keep up with each rank you get to. Your garage becomes weaker as you rank, unless you spend lots of cash.

That by the way is the developers fault not yours. They no only to well that this happens to low rankers but decide not to intervene, because they are hoping you will spend cash to upgrade your weakened garage. 

One last piece of advice. DO NOT get to marshal rank before you have everything at MK6 maxed out. If it's not then you are forced to buy the next MK which is 7, which will cost you a MASSIVE amount of crystals. The developers got rid of the upgrade option because they said it was to confusing for new players  Of course all the augments and status effects are very easy to get used to, piece of cake for newbies to understand, no probs.

Of course we don't believe a word coming from Hazel Semen's mouth. All this is a grand rip-off scheme. Make all your previously purchased items worthless to sell more. Then make that worthless again. Yeah, brilliant. Except soon there will be no one to play by their rules.
