You need to update the hulls that remain on the battlefield after being destroyed... It's unplayable, turrets like Gaus can shoot through these hulls (I saw this in some games, I don't know if it's a bug or the automatic aiming system, in any case, very unfair), and others turrets like Striker always get hit in these hulls, no matter what you do.

And also they get very heavy, for example a hornet hull, with Dictator can't I push him or pass through him? How is that possible.

More Autocannon buffs, nice. Interesting to see Incendiary parallel other fire augments' 0.4 temperature.

It made me really want to use Freeze now, and I hope to get the IC skin 

[1R7eh_Zv 10]

even if i have TORNADO

but i think it must be weakened

it's so OP

Fair Reversion actually, there is no point to reduce GS for augments that have a lot of potential than they might not show and are still in the Epic Category.
I believe even rare hull and turret augments should have their GS reversed, the main change should be applied to Brutus solely which would solve the problem to a fair extent.

I guess the main focus is on melee turrets, but I am quite critical of increasing base damage again and again like this.

We already saw the effect on hammer from the experiment, even 50% prot feels useless to defend against a basic hammer with BD equipped. Equip booster and crisis and It's way too impactful damage wise.

The main problem is that the basic hitpoints of hulls remain the same, while gradually increasing base damage of turrets over the time. This makes you with little scope left for defending when countering an enemy and receiving damage subsequently.

Freeze is my most used turret on all of my accounts that have it and I thought it was strong enough

I don't know what effect the weight changes will have, but it's a shame that another stat for each hull class is becoming the same within its class (with a couple of exceptions)

Well by introducing Pulsar to UT containers it means that they will become less rare. And we all know what happens to an augment after it has become available to the entire playerbase. 

Secretly hoping for some nerf in the near future, especially Twins Pulsar

[cybernite 93]

Nice to see Shaft AP arcade critical hits will AP; I felt sorry for Smoky autocannon users; fair to give it a buff.

Tornado is good for juggernaut hunting, but that 25% delay in arcade shell makes it weak upclose...additional nerf, not sure...less rocket damage?

I wish the Shaft Rapid fire reload was a reduced a little more, was a fun augment to use.

its a type of augment that cannot be nerfed to the point where playing against it is fun in any way shape or form. even if it does -99% damage there is always going to be that guy who uses it and randomly gives you a whole pack of gifts out of nowhere.

Agree on Shaft AP: it needed status infliction on critical hits for it to be practically useful (AP arcade + scope shot). Plus now it is more consistent with other status augments. 

Disagree on Tornado. Its reduced firing rate in salvo-mode and ridiculous reload allows for usability at close range (see video), not to say that it deals an unnecessarily high amount of damage in such short time and deals splash damage. Taking all these statistical changes into account, a 25% delay in arcade shots means absolutely nothing. I have never seen something this broken damage-wise.

I agree, I think that blown up tanks should be easier to push away. I have recently been seeing a lot of videos where tanks in a column blow up their friendly tank in front to push it out of the way after it got too damaged to move on its own anymore.

Do Lightweight augments now only reduce hull weight to 1500 then? Previously these augments reduced the weight to that of the lightest modification level of the lightest hull (1000, that of Wasp with no upgrades), that's why I'm wondering...

Going to be really irritated if this is case, as that's the equivalent of the prior M2 Wasp, which, in the old days, used to be, in my opinion, the most useless Wasp modification level as it wasn't light enough to be good on that front, but not fast enough to be good on that stage either.

When I saw Hull changes I was hoping for an HP buff across the board, but no such luck...

3 seconds? Sounds like a lot to me... I prefer the older version of this augment tbh. But I'll still try it out and see how it fares. And how I fare against it.

Oh would you look at that, tanki team is buffing the turrets that I clearly said were useless, but my opinion was brushed aside as some conspiracy. Where are all the mults now???

Lightweight reduces any hull's weight to 1000 units.

Firebird's normal damage was increased, but its critical damage was decreased. Though the critical chance was also increased. Only Freeze's normal damage was buffed. Tesla and Hammer, which you also called useless, were untouched. "OP turrets" like Smoky and Railgun were untouched. You might have had reasons for your opinions, but it's likely a coincidence.
