Oracle drone with Dictator Overdrive

[cwkow 1]

Greetings everyone, 

I recently noticed that the Dictator Overdrive doesn't give you any supplies of the Damage, Armor or Speed boost, which I reckon is because I have the Oracle Drone equipped.

I assume it's intended to be that way, but can't we make it so we keep one of the boosts other than the Med kit heal and the Mine? Maybe an exception just for the Overdrive?

Hello,
For giving suggestions or ideas please use this forum page: https://en.tankiforum.com/forum/182-ideas-and-suggestions/ 
Also I understand how it's frustrating at lower levels to not have all the supplies while many players have the Brutus drone from the previous update. It's also annoying that - to get Brutus now you need to reach a higher rank than before. I have seen many low rank players ask in chat on how they can use all supplies at the same time (they seem more confused now and don't know how drone mechanics work) , I would say it's fair if they put Brutus at a bit more lower level than it is currently now.

But this is done by the developers so that new players understand the proper mechanics of each supply and what it does. (this is all part of the initial learning process)
Most players don't know this and spam supplies for no valid reason. But at one point most of the Brutus drone players will rank up and it will only be players with Oracle drone and will be balanced out. 

Now coming to your "Make all 3 supplies possible for Dictator overdrive". Well currently this works in par with what drone the player has. If Oracle or Crisis drone is equipped it can not provide all 3 supplies (it's just how the game works).  If they provided Dictator all the supplies at low rank there could be a large number of player who would only use this hull and maybe Tanki doesn't want this. All this said you still get critical chance, mine and repair.

i surely you are a new player because not only Oracle but also the crisis does. the best things dictator overdrive can do for you when using this drone is healing and boost critical damage. I highly recommend you try Hyperion in this way.

Unfortunately I'm still Sergeant Major, and getting any new drone would be the Brutus which is still 5 ranks away. 

I get it, it's something the Oracle does but not being able to unequip Drones, and the other players who already have the Brutus(because they have an old account) seems lowkey unfair to me.

@Baal  Thank you for your time and effort to reply.

While I understand that it is what the drone does, what if the Overdrive gave the currently used boost a timer reset?
Like, what if I was already using damage boost, and since it's running out soon I can pop the Overdrive and refresh it? Would that be OP as well?

To be honest this is fair. This is not OP and just part of the mechanics. I would say it's balanced.
