update Tesla in the Garage and new augments

[thunderhunter123 741]

Thanks for releasing Tesla!

I can't wait to make it max during Sales!

I saw the replies of the helpers, so far it is overwhelmingly positive.

Yeah, keep pumping the tires and ignore the fact that how OP Tesla is.

good

I will not play MM. I got Premium, which means 24X.

I like to play Tesla, but I'll do it in Parkour, a little.

If you don't know how to play with Tesla you can practice in Parkour, if you're allowed to. Just don't overuse it's power or you'll make a lot of enemies.

Tesla is a great OP turret. Not only does it feature new mechanics, but is incredibly disgustingly powerful. I enjoy playing with it a lot (Of course you do, it is OP). Destroying defender every single users is a piece of cake now. I don't expect nor do I hope that the devs will nerf the gun (You are a mod now, keep pumping up the Dev's tires). I recommend other players to use adrenaline augment with tesla to get the next-level budget OP.

Fixed it for you.

The only way I can deal with these  Teslas is to use Crisis in max. speed mode to maintain distance, then use max. damage mode to melt them down in range with Vulcan. I played CP and Siege the most, and yes that makes me kind of a camper. 

But what am I supposed to do then, other then joining the Tesla cult.

I saw a guy with Tesla asking "Why everyone is focusing on me?" in chat. That's super obvious isn't it? He is using Tesla. The newest and the most OP turret you can find in this game. Clearly he poses the largest threat and is the primary target of every single player in that match.

Currently, Tesla is like the old Hornet, which you previously have created a topic dedicate to that. It is available to everyone but everyone know it is OP. It is not P2W for sure. It is the Devs using a different body part to do balancing.

Please refrain from using profanity.

I see people argue that Tesla is not OP anymore because Tesla protections are everywhere now.

This is completely wrong. People have inverted the causal relationship and attempt to justify Tesla is A-OK. Why many people are using protection against a particular turret? Mainly because of two reasons

1. The turret is commonly used (e.g. Thunder, Railgun)
2. The turret is powerful/OP (e.g. Tesla, Gauss)

The correct relationship is, "Because Tesla is OP and common (people like new stuff after all), therefore many players use Tesla protection to reduce its effectiveness".

In fact, when I play the game (which I always come first on the score board), often I see players switch to Vulcan protection at the middle of the game. The worst case I met is every one in the enemy team switch to Vulcan protection except one. Why? Because they find me and my Vulcan threatening. Can I argue that Vulcan is too weak because of that? Of course not, it makes zero sense.

It's very easy to deal Teslas, you just need to be aware of your surroundings and maintaing proper distance... oh! I almost forgot, you also need to get yourself a _^Tesla.

In TDM, easy. In modes like Siege, CP and CTF, where you are constantly dealing with enemies in close range. Good luck with that.

Nope, nothing has been announced.

This is one heck of a turret. Went to my mini account (Babi), first game with it, Mk2, 26/2 K/D, enough said.
THIS is the nightmare turret that will break Tanki Online.

I hope that Tesla will get shot color effects. I also want shot color effects for Smoky and Thunder. Please add as soon as you can. I want all my turrets to look cool when firing shots.

It is a powerful turret indeed but not that powerful. Mind answering a few queries? At what rank were you using mk2 tesla? What tank build did you equip (tell me every thing from turret, hull augments and drone). Which mode and map were you playing in?

So MK2 appears to be the average equipment of his rank. In other words, it is a fair play, at least it is supposed to be.

Drone: Brutus (since that's the only one he has)

 

For me, I can literally see two Teslas Leeroy Jenkins into enemy base in Cross with no thoughts at all and still perform well. Usually this behavior is stupid and equivalent to throwing Well, obviously this is not the case for Tesla.

Or explain to me, why there are so many players using Tesla now, even though it has been a while since its release? And why there are so many people equipping Tesla protection even if it is " a powerful turret indeed but not that powerful"?  If "Tesla is OP" is not the reason, then what else can explain this situation?

Removed Inappropriate phrasing.

The only way to defeat Tesla players in legend rank DM mode is to use Gauss emp maxed with tesla 47% i will not leave them the first place for each matches where they will encounter me.

Here is the story behind Tesla XT:

[Cleric 1,385]

For me, I just abandon the objective and focus fire on those guys with Vulcan, Crusader, Crisis and Armadillo once I saw people using Tesla. Call me a buyer, but if people using Tesla in this stage, it is equivalent to using exploits and cheating.

A few instance, the enemy team just can't take it and all switch to Vulcan protection.

I think Tesla is too weak, it needs a buff.

Do you forget it was released in the garage just yesterday?

It is released yesterday, that's correct. But it is way enough time for the players to test out. You can see that many players have switched to Tesla despite they don't really play melee turrets previously. If you are not convinced, we shall se what will happen a week later, that it assuming the Devs will do nothing about it.

However, 26 kills with 2 deaths is still pretty difficult for me. Getting that K/L ratio should be pretty easy at low ranks but it is not that easy in high ranks if you use tank builds like mine (remember, I do not have defender drone so my tank's survivability is pretty low, or did you forget)?

You used your own experience and habit and assumed the rest of the people are doing the same as yours. As you said it already, it is easier to achieve that in lower ranks, which is what he was doing as he has already stated in the first place. As for high ranks, an ordinary player will use anything to his advantage, so booster and defender are extremely common. It is your choice of not using them, but don't come into a conclusion based on your experience and assuming it represents most of the players and situations because yours is a special case and doesn't reflect what most of the players are doing.

Yeah, I think it needs to one shot people. Even better, dealing double damage to those who have Spectrum modules.

Yes, because it got electricity it should stun ennemies for atleast 5-10 seconds to immobilize them and give time to finish them off, electricity should give big damage too, i hope to see this in the next patch notes.

Agree, clearly people in here don't know how electricity works. Beside, stunning (take a look at teaser guns), it should also fry all electronic components. Therefore, it should also disable drones, apply EMP and Jammer status effects as well.

 

And I don't know what kind of black magic is that, but I'm fairly sure it is physically impossible to actually create an electricity "orb" thing and make it float in the air while still being visible to bare eyes. So Tesla seems to able to defy the laws of Physics. Why not make an augment to turn the orbs into black holes then?

 

I used to hate the Stadium map because it favors camping. But now, I love it because I know Tesla is not gonna work there.

You have great ideas for Tesla, we should write this in the idea and suggestion, so it could finally be able to compete with other turrets. Would you mind to make all of this in idea and suggestion? Soon we are gonna see some status effect augment which include heat and freeze effect, they should replace them by black holes. I nver seen any electricity give freeze effect lol
