update New «Paladin» hull. Early access

[Marcus 17,296]

 

Hello, tankers!

 

We have great news for you: a novelty will appear in Ultra Containers tomorrow! (Sep 24th)

 

Please welcome the new «Paladin» hull. Its release will finish the collection of hovering hulls.

 

Key features

 

• Medium hovering tank that is especially useful for teamplay

• Overdrive lasts for a long time and has a large radius of effect. Tanks that are affected by Paladin’s Overdrive are connected with “lines” to the tank that activated it.

• Paladin’s teammates around it get minor healing, immunity from all status effects, and 90% protection from critical damage.

• Enemy tanks in the range of Paladin Overdrive’s area of effect receive the «Armor-piercing» and «Jammer» status effects.

• Critical damage protection essentially protects a tank from the Overdrives of Hornet and Dictator

• Applying Jammer status effect lets you prevent nearby enemy tanks from using their Overdrive, protecting your tank from Hunter’s and Wasp’s ODs

• As long as a tank is in the effect range of the aura polarizer, all of the Overdrive effects are applied, but as soon as a tank leaves they will all be deactivated instantly. 

 

Our developers intend Paladin to primarily be a “supporting” tank; going on the offensive with this hull is not the best tactic. Combining Paladin with Titan and Hornet can present a fearsome trio and fully realize this hull’s potential.

 

Early access

 

Do you want to own these new items and be the first to test their capabilities in battle?

During the early access period, both the «Paladin» hull and the «Jammer Immunity» augment for it will only be available to obtain from Ultra Containers. You can get your hands on these new Ultra Containers by completing the special missions or you can buy them from the shop.

 

To all our happy Paladin owners, we would love to see you share your screenshots in the comments!

And as expected, you changed nothing with Paladin's insane Overdrive charge parameters.

Interesting, glad to see another hull being added to the game (hoping to see another tracked hull soon).

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Yes, all welcome the brand new supporting hull. Nice

[Blutchidoo 508]

I've seen Paladin in battle. It's quite powerful. I honestly hope I don't get it from Ultra Containers though.

Glad to see the new Paladin hull being added to the official Tanki servers.

Thankfully a score penalty was added. But the other parameters are still too high.

Wahoo! New hull that I might actually want to get! (Lookin at you, Crusader.) Also I like being a supporting player cause that type of play is more fun. Time to wait two months...

I plan to use viking to fight those early access paladins. I wonder who will win - me using viking or them using early access paladins.

That should help me gauge the strength of this new hull.

Well as Paladin from ultra containers obviously Paladin, DUH.

We cannot be 100% sure without first testing it out, right? That's what I'm going to do tomorrow - use my viking to see how powerful paladin really is.

Pooley.  If it's not strong people won't buy it. I tell you they all tried out on test server it's gonna be OP

[xXx_ALPHA-BEAST_xXx 291]

what a great update in tank history another hover hull last of tanki ecosystem  i am really very happy now for 1 month game is fully unbalanced then again it come to track on that time developer again buuu yeah we are again making game unbalance.

[DMR 676]

There should be 2 vote before you release flying hull and after you released every flying hull and this vote should be, do you think it's better to have new flying hulls or they should be removed and do you prefer flying hull or normal hulls. So most of tankers would say to remove flying hull!

I honestly don't understand why everyone hates hovering hulls. In my opinion, they're just another cool addition to the game, catered towards mobile players. How nice. And it doesn't hurt PC players in any way. Okay sure Hopper is broken, but Ares? Crusader? They're completely fine IMO. And if Paladin is OP, well, so is Tesla. It's not the fact that it hovers so much as the fact that it's new. Honestly, why do so many people hate hovering hulls?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I do like hovering hulls. They add futuristic technologies to the game of Tanki Online as well as bringing the game forward. I do not understand why some players does not like hovering hulls, but we surely need them to keep up with improvements of the 2020s decade. Paladin is the last in the hovering hull series to be released, unless developers decides to release a hovering juggernaut hull.

Paladin hull in action.

This Paladin hull looks much better with Tesla.

Can someone tell me which  category the Paladin hull can be obtained? Exotic, legendary, or epic?

Yea hovering hulls are fun as well, it defy the laws of physics and make it easier than track to fly and take the gold boxes, i guess they don't like them because they find the control too hard. I wish that paladin wasnt the last hovering hull, we need one which has an overdrive with 2 mini guns shooting on everyone, that should be fun xD

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@numericable

For that, I would suggest a hovering juggernaut hull which is mounted with two sub-machine guns attracted to the hull. Once the overdrive is activated, the twin-sub-machine guns would fire automatically and deal damage to everyone in the vicinity. As for the main turret, we would need an entirely brand new turret to go with this hull as the combo. This would be better to use in Arms Race because a hovering juggernaut as the top turret and hull combination would fit in better as a boss tank in Arms Race, instead of B0-NK. B0-NK would then need to be released to the garage for players to use in everyday battles.

The Paladin hull has its HD and XT skins as expected. That is a wonderful surprise. Please keep on finishing all the missing HD and XT skins as soon as possible. Do not rush them, but at the same time keep a good workflow balance. If you can, simply hire more skin designers so that more skins can be designed at the same time to speed up the process. Below are the current missing HD and XT skins highlighted in this illustrated table:

I recently discovered that the Paladin hull has fins behind it just like the fins of a fish. Yeah, right, Paladin has a design that kind of resembles like a chicken and fish hybrid creature. Who cares as long as Paladin pleases everyone who dares to use it on the battlefield.

If maps in Tanki Online had water, Paladin would look like a swimming fish. With Tesla equipped on Paladin, this hull resembles more of a giant beetle creature, which is so cool to see something like this in Tanki Online. Maybe, Tanki Online machinery can look like animals if developers puts enough efforts on making turrets and hulls have animal features like the shape and even paint designs.

Oop, Tanki devs, you better listen to the king over here. Time to go hire more skin designers.

 

Who cares about skins? The new interface is still a better investment of the devs' time IMO. It attracts new players, and doesn't scare them away just cause of the sheer amount of buyers running around with Hammer Prime and Crusader Steampunk.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I understand that, but the new interface needs to be postponed a bit so that developers can adjust it to suit all players likeability about this new interface. Also, skins would do better with more developers, as well as hiring more developers to speed up development of overall features in Tanki Online.

And who is going to pay for these new hires?

How flabbergasted I was seeing a Tesla Paladin with 4 protections and a Defender drone capturing all 7 flags and only dying twice. Clearly this was unprecedented. Who could have possibly seen this coming?
