Good change. HPAS will finally have a proper use over other augments. 

 

The Rubberised Rounds change was long overdue imo. It felt incomplete that it only bounced twice.

It took...over two months. It didn't occur to anyone there rhat maybe, just maybe, it was dealing too much damage in a 1 v 1?

Nice updates , interesting to see tesla mentioned there.

[king-at-gold 31]

interesting to see the new «Nuclear Energy» supply, how it will affect the gameplay

[Marekos1111 3,091]

Cool updates 

[numericable 2,375]

Finally a speed buff for my love crusader, now, just fix its OD, it has alot of bugs in the mobile version

Nice supply! I hope the devs will keep very less of these in special bundles in the future. Plus, please keep in mind that a player should not be able to buy more than one such special bundle in their account. Otherwise, players could buy large quantities of such bundles to get a lot of pieces of this new supply.

i think i understand why they changed weekly tasks to not have an inflation to not make people abuse it too much 

[yellowghetto 3,206]

To my understanding, the Nuclear Energy will be a rare Supply that will instantly charge our ODs, but set a short cooldown. Welp, the end of the game is coming if that’s the case.

Tesla got nerfed. Finally.

Give Smoky some love my guys

Striker's OP enough. Why so many more buffs?

Shaft: don't know, don't care.

Noooooo! I liked the difference! Augh! Sadness. Tanki's just gonna keep changing stuff until it's all one big blend. This is sad.

it may take ages to happen but if the old weekly missions (finish X daily missions) was there the chance of finishing challenges is 100% so F2P will get 2 every month as long as it's on free tier as they said

so they will have a huge amount (according to the effect) every year even if this is nerfer buyers will always be able to repay offers with this supplie every time won't they

so the battles with ODs may become a bit imbalance so that's a reason of making weeklies to what it's now (special missions won't give a lot for sure)

[Hugoslav 162]

Tesla nerfed? Let's go!

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

New supply only in BP?

I haven't play since 1 week, hopefully will not play in coming weeks too. This game is F2W. 

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

What is the rationale behind buffing Striker again? If it is underused, I don't think it's underused because it's underpowered.

F2W is free to win? I not understand...

Also I'm P2W... play to win xD

but buyers will get 8 every month This game is P2W. 

Fixed it to you

he means buyers and non buyers may win items but with same quantity and chance

[Spy 14,687]

I'm glad to see that Smoky received a buff. However, I think Striker is strong enough as it is.

I'm not opposed to the idea of there being a supply version of Nuclear Energy, I just want it to be balanced.

The only question I have is how long the cooldown will be in between using the Nuclear Energy supplies.

[lssimo 1,559]

Nuclear Energy Supply?

Good luck Tanki.

15 minute battles?

No thank you.

The cooldown for this supply will be of 3 seconds. So, after 3 seconds, you can activate your Overdrive and then use the supply once more to use your overdrive once again. The only real problem here will be that you will have very few of these new Nuclear energy supplies as you get only 4 Nuclear energy from one challenge.

I guess it’s kind of balanced then, since a player won’t have thousands of them. You’ll have to use it wisely.

Though, I don’t think it should be the final tier for the next challenges

they won't add it to all special missions rewards and bundles for buyers so it belongs to final tier

Don't see details on where in the Challenges this will be rewarded.  Don't see Tier or level...

In any event, seems like this game is going totally dependent on OverDrives.  They've homogenixed the speed of hulls and now giving a way to have the OD more often.   Meh.

[Okami 3,041]

Even as someone who uses Striker a lot, I gotta say that this buff isn’t needed.
Striker pre-critical damage was balanced. 

Striker then got massive critical damage but that didn’t cause balance issues (*coughcough*Freeze*coughcough*) because Striker was already a rare turret and it’s one of the most difficult turrets. 
 

Tesla’s ~20% damage nerf is welcome and hopefully it’ll make things at least a little more normal.

I’m not a big fan of it either, but it seems like this is the direction the Devs are deciding to take with hulls. It’d be hard to change their minds, so I’m requesting that it’d be at least balanced.
