Patch Update #695 - Released 5th August 2022

 

• New augment for Thunder added to the updated Ultra Containers — «Noise» shells

  • (Note) With each shot, this augment applies the «Jammer» status effect to all the affected targets for 3 seconds. Only direct shots apply the status effect

• New augments for Firebird added to the Legendary category of the updated Regular Containers: Magnetic mix, Paralyzing mix, Toxic mix, and Jamming mix

• Added «Megagold» — a rare gold box that gives you 10 000 crystals

  • (Note) This type of gold box is available in all matchmaking battles, not only in just event modes. However, it appears only during some special events like Discount Weekend

• Added the «Jack-in-the-box» effect

• Changed color indication of damage types. Now, Orange color means critical damage and Red implies that a target is destroyed. You can observe that a target is destroyed with the critical damage by seeing the «Jack-in-the-box» effect in action

• Highland map got the day theme back

  • (Note) Evening version will be added as a separate theme in one of the upcoming updates

• Added night themes for all matchmaking maps

  • (Note) Except Iran. Instead of a night theme, there will be an evening one

• Reduced the contrast between dark and light areas on the night theme maps

  • (Note) Night is more like evening now! We hope that it be will much more comfortable to play on Night maps now

• Increased the delay before removing a hull after the tank is destroyed

  • (Note) Once upon a time, tanks did not disappear immediately after being destroyed, and the tactic of blocking opponents with a destroyed hull was a good one. With the introduction of the «Jack-in-the-box» effect, we had to increase the delay so that the detached turret has time to return from the flight and hit the ground. We decided to increase the duration when a destroyed tank remains on the ground to the maximum possible (until a new tank appears) to explore all the gameplay possibilities of this mechanic.
    It will be unusual to play this version of the game, but we ask you to take the change as seriously as possible. Evaluate both pros and cons of such settings. We will be reading your feedback closely.

  • Critical hit chance decreased from 12% to 10%

    • Crusader’s overdrive

    • Ares’ overdrive

    • Mammoth’s overdrive

    • Exploding a tank with the «Blaster» drone

    • Gold box meteorite

  • (Note) Hopper’s, Hunter’s and Crusader’s overdrives already had the same rules as «Chaos» damage. The introduction of «Chaos» damage won’t affect them in any way, but now they work the same way as other overdrives.

• Added an auto scroll for list of battles and list of map themes in PRO battles

• Changed the design of additional settings screen in PRO battles

• The step of calculating the angle of automatic horizontal aim for mobile players has been reduced from 1 to 0.5 degrees

I think I like most of these, it's great to see the devs working hard

It would be nice to experiment with slightly different numbers for each turret if possible. Smoky in particular definitely should have low numbers. 

And if you're nerfing mobile players' overall performance, can you please hurry up with the new version of it? It's coming close to a year since Railgun and Hammer shots rattle your hulls making tracked hulls unplayable and Heavyweight Construction a downgrade.

Here it is, people! The buyers’ cries have been answered and their pleas have been heard. Now they can more easily dominate all the F2Ps with Crisis.

So basically, all Hammer augments (except Wyvern's Breath) have been nerfed. Thanks a lot Tanki.

1) I'm grateful that Wyvern's breath is stronger now (last shot in clip & crit hits)

2) Magnetic pellets is LITERALLY useless now. By the time your clip reloads, enemy will activate all their supplies back....

3) Stunning pellets is useless now. 1 second of stun isn't a lot

4) Jammer Hammer nerfed. They'll probably nerf the 3 second duration to 2 in the next update....

I get Tanki needs to nerf augments to keep buyers happy but there was literally no need to nerf these. Buyers could easily counter against these augments anyway with the right protection. You've just made it even harder for F2P Hammer players now for no reason at all.

Now I just want Wyvern's Breath. It has same last shot effect as other Hammer augments and freeze protection is very uncommon compared to AP/EMP/Stun/Jammer. And it can be amazing in CTF now

I didn't even think about this. Hazel has literally given buyers a way to nullify our Crisis even from mid range. 

I knew the buyers would have the upper hand again eventually, but this is straight away!!!?

What happen's with Hyperspeed Shells is that gives you an innate damage decrease, but allowes you to increase your damage earlier by reducing the range of maximum and minimum damage. Naturally, the maximum damage range is where you deal 100% of your damage and it goes down to your weak damage % as you go closer to your minimum damage range. That's how you get damage falloff on the turrets. Hyperspeed reverses that by making your weak damage % above 100%, which will increase your damage instead of decrease it.

 

Normal Thunder has 900 damage with 25% weak damage = 225 if an enemy is further than the minimum damage range.

Hyperspeed Thunder has 450 damage with 400% weak damage = 1,800 if an enemy is further than the minimum damage range.

 

To facilitate this gimmick, the range of maximum and minimum damage are decreased, allowing you to faster deal your high "weak damage". The change happening to Hyperspeed is its minimum damage range is becoming longer. This means the enemy needs to be farther in order to deal the 400% damage. Previously, an enemy needed to be 60m away to receive the 400% damage, now they need to be 90m away to receive the 400% damage.

You love reading people complaining? Or people who misinterpreted the patch notes? Sounds pretty sociopathic to me.

CHAT IS BACK WOOOOOOOO!!!!
oh how i missed trash talking at my enemies <З

Of all the changes, I'm actually most excited about the dead tank despawn delay. Will be interesting to see piles of dead tanks blocking the way to gold boxes and such. Heavyweight augment might become essential now.

You’re right, though I’m pretty sure it was edited because  before it said the projectile speed was “increased”.
