It's nice to have some variety for Gauss outside of Super Solenoids and the status augments.

 

Faster Horizontal Tracking seems to give it melee turret rotation and the increased auto-aim angle also helps it lock on to targets out of the reach of Stock Gauss.

Hacked Aiming Processor has a 10-second grace period which is overkill for actually attacking a target with but it's nice to have be able to have a mini-radar on someone if you ever need it. 

Large Calibre is just SBE for Gauss where it turns it into a Thunder damage-wise. Nothing major, though now that it has Thunder damage, Booster will be above fit for it when maxed. 

Which one do you think is the best to spend your crystals on?

None of them seem worth the price tbh. Two are just accessories to Stock and the other is an alteration.

You did whaaaaat. You need counselling. May I recommend a tanki help site that deals with traumatised and disregarded players who have been conned and left on the tanki scrap heap to die a slow, meaningless, cashless death.

«Large Caliber» — increases the damage of standard shots, but the projectiles travel much slower.

I have tested the standart shots when having no augments and then when having this augment and the difference is only 599 damage, not a big deal this augment

At max, it pushes your arcade damage from 670 to 904, and increases your reload from 1.67 to 2.171. This means you can one-shot unprotected light hulls with Booster or Crisis. In my experience, it's the most practical out of all of the crystal augments released and makes arcade shots a bit more usable so that you don't always need to depend on your salvo.

The crystal augment is basically base Thunder. Nothing special about it. Not even a DPS increase. Regret paying 170k for it. 

Well, you get a 15.2003685 increase in DPS.

To be fair, you don't exactly see tanks rushing into enemy lines in real life

This is a game. Not real life.

You see in real life flying tanks ?

My point was more that if everyone in Tanki Online is camping, it doesn't make it not "Tanki" Online anymore. If anything, it would be more like an actual tank game.

That being said, I do not intend to downplay the problem of camping in Tanki. I completely agree that having both teams sit at their bases does not make this game more fun.

Here, it is the exact opposite. Devs actually keep providing tools to make camping more and more effective. Guess what? The most effective way to play CP in a big map is not by capping points, but by sitting in spawn camping the entire game. How ironic.

True. They should change the points in battles. You cap a flag = 500 points. You score a goal = 500 points. You get a point in Siege or CP = 500 points. Not like now, I cap the flag (battle ends with 1-0 for us), I get less points than the camper that kills 3-4 more tanks than me...

That would create nasty feedback loops for Overdrives.

• • «Large Caliber» — increases the damage of standard shots, but the projectiles travel much slower.

I can't help but feel disappointed with Large Calibre, mainly because the critical damage isn't increased to 1,200 like Short Band Emitters or the previous Electromagnetic Accelerator Scout. Not having 1,200 critical damage means you need 4 shots to kill a medium hull of equal upgrades instead of reducing it to 3 with a critical hit. You end up just taking longer to do things compared to Stock everywhere.

 

Stock can do 670 + 670 + 1,700 faster than LC does 904 + 904 + 1,700

Stock can do 1,160 + 1,700 faster than LC does 1,160 + 1,700

Stock can do 670 + 1,700 faster than LC does 904 + 1,700

Stock can do 670 + 670 + 1,160 + 670 faster than LC does 904 + 904 + 1,160 + 904

Stock can do 670 + 670 + 670 + 670  + 1,700 in the same time that LC does 904 + 904 + 904 + 1,700

Stock has the same damage per shot but faster firing rate during Supercharge, and you're generally more punished for missing a shot than Stock. 

 

You're either taking the same time to do things as Stock or slower. The only thing it can do faster is one-shotting unprotected light hulls with normal damage with Booster/Crisis while Stock needs two. Anything other than that is slower. What is the point? Is there a reason why it doesn't have 1,200 critical damage? It feels like I paid 245k (171k) crystals to do nothing.

Instant overdrive for every time you capped a CP point. Imagine Vikings and Ares constantly wiping out the enemy team or titans and paladins constantly being practically impossible to kill.
