• Impact force is decreased from 260-780 to 400-1200 units.

You mean increase? Or decrease... but then you need to switch the number round.

It's an increase, yes. Thanks - fixed.

We are getting a lot of cool stuff from Tanki X.

Uhhh...I hope this was just me imagining when I saw this. But no, it real. I think this is an overkill for impact force because now, Scout would be way more annoying for railgun.

Tanki is being tanki. Nothing that hasn't been seen before. They released this useless supply couple weeks ago and realised no one gave a damn as it's so rare it is very "valuable" and it is pointless to use it is unless it's a game decider. So they changed their approach and decided to implement this new scam by increasing overdrive's recharge time (ONCE again!!) hoping people would reach for this supplies out of necessity and as a result spend money to purchase it.

I wish we could keep the old sound when the Legacy skin is equipped. I'll miss it.

After placing the Wasp bomb, you don't get Overdrive charge from actions that give you points in battle (killing, capturing flags and points etc.) This change effectively means you don't get any Overdrive charge from kills you get directly from the bomb's damage. It is an attempt to make Overdrives occur less frequently.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Well interesting patch notes I believe, quite the changes being done. Following are the changes which I didn't like or, in my opinion, not needed :-

This was already proving to be very annoying, if the rail isn't damaging much, its impact force is constantly putting the tanks out of track, while if I am in mid-air it, has the power to completely flip me upside down, now with more buff even scout would be something of a real problem along with rail in general.

Jammer status effect duration is increased from 6 to 30 seconds

This was not required at all  Now even after some time, I will not be able to use my OD which is unfair, to think I will equip Jammer immunity because of this, we have more  status effects immunity to take care of.

Again, whyy!!!

Well this was not needed to be honest, now if I am at the enemy team's base, he can easily finish me off without taking any damage.

---------------------------------------------------------------

So happy to see hornet's OD buff, finally something good for the hull.  Excited for new map ^^

 

[Apis_the_Professor 335]

I hope that the bug with tanks' weight (on Mobile) will be fixed with tomorrow's restart because anything else is unacceptable.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

But still no freeze nerf , have to wait again

[ZivOfficial 290]

Hunter is going to be so annoying now... Also R.I.P Kolhoz

How is it going to be annoying? The only people getting jammed are those withing Hammer range and it's for 18 seconds...while the Overdrives now all take 3 - 6.5 minutes to passively charge.

Kolhoz is a bad map. Hard to cap flags and filled with campers. Glad it's gone.

[readyfireaim 369]

Oh. My. Goodness.

This is a... patch update for the ages.

Overdrive recharges?? Decreased by like, 2x? Whyyyyyy...

30 seconds for Jammer... You're joking, right? Wasp OD sounds so OP... and then I read that the damage range is decreased. That was a horrible idea. Really horrible. I can barely get kills as is with that OD. Now it's gonna be harder. SMH.

So many changes... and I don't think most of those are gonna work out. The mines one is interesting, but overall... nah.

Let's see what happens... but I don't think it'll be good.

It's good nerf now because I remember after Ares speed nerf someone was afraid from how the hull will catch with the ball

No. When I read "changed" I thought about something like a rework about this farce. Like if you shoot it will be vanish. Not a buff

BTW, in general, I liked the overall overdrive nerfs converting them from an obvious essential thing in the battle. And liked the ASL mode changes

[stat.padder 225]

Is there a bug fix (mobile version) where impact force was way too high?

I am constantly flipped by smoky, hammer, railgun, thunder etc., so I have decided to quit until that is fixed. I know such problem does not exist on pc and on my other account I can play on phone but only using crusader and ares (even heavyweight augment can’t help on phone).

As for patch notes, they are introduced to justify existence of nuclear thingy…bla…bla. Now autocannon augment will be even more useless because last thing that gave it purpose (it’s too weak without OD) was nerfed even more.
