completed Change the Icon for Magnum's Armor-Piercing Core Augment

[yellowghetto 3,206]

It looks exactly the same as Gauss's Armor-Piercing Salvo Augment. 

I'd say it passes for Gauss as Electromagnetic Salvo was the first to have this burst cloud icon, which I assume resembles the electromagnetic theme of Gauss.

I think it should look something like 

 

 but with the Snapped Shield Icon  in the middle of it.

Why does this matter? When I press tab, I often check what Augments the players are using.

When I see this icon, 

I know it is Electromagnetic Salvo. Take Gauss prot.

When I see this icon, 

I don't know if it is Armor-Piercing Core, or Armor-Piercing Salvo. Do I take Magnum or Gauss prot?

How many times I've gotten fooled by this.

We definitely need that change.

Or an even easier and better fix. Remove EMP, AP, and stun turret augments and immunities.

[The_Resistance 135]

Yeah. It needs to be large artillery round with SE icon inside it. As it was planned on 18' Halloween update for Freezing Core.

Not only that, but its just lame. I bought UC/BP with money to recieve somewhat bad quality content?

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

This change is a no-brainer. These icons are literally the same - the only augment icons that are the same as far as I'm aware? Apart from Adrenaline augments of course - but they literally are the same so that is OK.

It is very confusing to see this icon in battle and not know what turret the user is playing with, until you meet them.

Bringing back color schemes for augments would also solve this problem.

Augments used to have colour schemes? Are you sure? I don't recall that they were ever coloured.

But that might be an idea - we could have the turret icon colour in the augments to make the turret in question clearer. They should definitely change the icon too though.

They were. I wouldn't even be saying that if it weren't a thing.

The pic showed what a small handful of them looked like.

Interesting, I don't recall that at all. There were never coloured icons viewable in-match though, or am I wrong? It would be good if augment icons had the turret's associated colour - that might help make what turret it was more obvious perhaps.

Although in the case of Magnum and Gauss AP, simply changing the icon should be enough for now as they are literally the same, which is just not right. Makes it confusing to meet either augment in battle.

It used to be displayed above the players tank, just press R or V keys.

I see, I remember about R and V but not about the coloured icons in battle, if that was indeed displayed. Seems my memory failing me then :P ? I didn't think they used to show augment icons in battle back in the Flash days though, hmm. It seems so long since then lol.

You take neither. Cause AP augments disable the modules anyway. 

 

Sure, equip your AP Immunity but be prepared to be burned, EMP-ed, frozen, jammed, and stunned.

Lol the symbols still confuse me to this day. XD between ap gauss and magnum.

They don't confuse me. I see shield symbol in turret augment column in score card, I leave.

 

They're just the same to me. I put them in the category of Ebola.

[Cor7y 13,862]

Title. It's literally impossible to distinguish if an enemy is using Magnum or Gauss when you press Tab to see their augments, and they are using AP. 

Why? Because the icons for AP Gauss and AP Magnum are the same. So I suggest changing one of them so that we can atleast distinguish and change protections based on that.

AP Magnum:

AP Gauss:

Yeah, like my original post, it would be cool if AP Core had the Magnum icon, but with the AP icon in the middle.

IDK why they went with this one... In 18' alterations update they teased this two status augs for magnum with distinct style to them. Like big artillery shells.

Yes. They could easily make sth like this:

(poor quality, but i made it within 1 minute...)

Maybe with larger AP icon like cold one.

Ow about hovering your mouse over the icons on the scoooreboard, the augments name will show?

Could be done, but there is literally no reason not the change the icon.

Yeah, they gave old Reinforced Gun Carriage to Harpoon, and literally added a new one for it. There is no reason Tanki can't quickly design a new icon. Lazy?
