Booster does more with these 25% than Crisis with it's 0% because of supply multipliers.

Crisis at half mu does EQUAL of that of booster's max. Since the beginning steps are cheapers, use that surplus of crystals you have left to buy extra supplies for yourself.

Even though its called Defender, it is rarely used for defending. 99% of the time, its used for attacking, which is very challenging (i wonder why). Booster is simply going to be used as F2P's camping Crisis. People are just going to camp with it. Trust me, camping doesnt need any help.

Defender used for attacking/defending isn't the point. It's that it allows defender's ability to match that of crisis.

Point towards camping... what's good for camping.. a drone that uses 5x the boost supply and giving 20% extra, or a drone that uses 3x the supply whilst giving 60% extra. Afterall you're not gonna need to switch many supplies as a camper, maybe few mines here and there and repairs, but Crisis using damage boost with magnum hiding behind buildings is FAR more useful than the same combo on booster.

Tell me you're a camper without telling me you're a camper. Trust me buddy. You consume way more than 5  type supplies every 30 seconds with crisis if you're not just camping with double damage 24/7. 5 Supplies per switch would actually bankrupt small to medium buyers lol.

Again, justifying it on the priciple of camping is just not gonna work, that argument already favors crisis users while camping.

More supplies used per 30 seconds, I agree it does. But it gives much higher benefit for that. You see on the one hand I'm spending 5 supply for 20% increase vs 3 supply for 60,90,70% increase that too in a single drone. The versatality aswell as the price you pay for the enhanced effect is well balanced. Except in the case of booster. 

You've never faced me you don't know anything about my playstyle. I'm not a camper and if I was I'd be cheering for crisis anyway. Booster has been previously the single most used drone. Everyone bought it given it's value at that time, now you suddenly decide to create a more versatile drone, that costs the same to upgrade, that has more boosted % than your single focused drone whilst being cheaper to operate in certain cases then obviously that's gonna get people mad.

Extra armour does not have the same outcome as extra damage. 

Again, that's not the point I'm making. On the one hand you have a drone that's 'master of all' that can do all that booster, trickster and defender can do whilst doing it cheaper. Only down side is it does those things one at a time. Cool. But on the other hand the single supply focused drones are pointless. Who wants to spend same amount of crystals on a drone that's not gonna give you the same level of playing advantage as the 'master of all' drone that also uses less supplies. Given the pricing of the drones being same and the supply useage, there is no debate. Crisis reigns over all.

Magnum «AP» needs to be upgraded to place «AP» to everyone within a blast radius 

Just got the augument and tried it, it works similar to AP magnum as far as i've used it (effect only applied when direct hit, or very close to direct hit)|
maybe because the burning effect is given in ticks instead of seconds(unlike AP/EMP)

Free nick change is a really good advantage. I wonder why the donuts who nearly never miss an opportunity to criticise the game didn't reply to this specific part of the patch update. Clearly shows their one-sided behaviour.

Thanks for the free nick change

Idk if this is right place to report it, but the new emp magnum alteration is broken. It is not applying the emp status effect to everyone in the blast radius but rather only on a direct hit

A new augment for Magnum has been added to Ultra Containers — «Magnetic Core» 

(Note) Every shot applies the «EMP» status effect to all targets caught in the explosion radius. With critical hits, the duration of the effect increases. 

Bruh, seems devs have forgotten about "simplifying" the game. No it's better to delete few drones and increase rank of accessibility to protection modules to General instead of not working on such status effect augments. Oh, they also said in 377 episode of the V-LOG:

We know you guys are not really fond of status effect augments

But no, some rich cried they have so little augments and always want more and more  like under topic about TankiFund with mono paints and many +1 module slot for protections and that's how it ends..

Bots

Bots are added for ranks starting from rank 1 (Recruit) to 6 (Sergeant)

Optimized server performance of bots

Fixed the bug with bots getting progress in missions as if they were players

For battles with bots, the battle duration depends on a player’s rank

Recruit — 4 minutes

Private — 6 minutes

Corporal — 8 minutes

Sergeant — 10 minutes

Nice, so little new players are coming to the game that devs had to add bots. This is sad how this game is going so low due to lot of  "updates"..

Booster

Additional damage supply power increased from 10% - 20% to 10% - 25%

Cool! I have already upgraded to maximum this drone and I'll play it a lot for sure. Maybe a small buff, but well.. why not to play more with it?

Added an option to change your nickname for free if you do it for the first time

Fixed the bugs with wrong mission progress on the battle end screen

1. Cool ! Players are able to change nickname for free. Feel bad for those who few days before it wasted 2000 tankoins on changing it..

2. On the battle end screen there should also be shown progress of daily and weekly missions, not only the special/event ones.. If we don't have to click more times to check special missions progress, why not to do the same towards daily and weekly missions..
