First game with my horrible monstrosity I created from the salvaged pieces from the default tanks.

Drove around a bit and got stuck in a ditch :/


Apart from the whole getting-stuck-in-a-ditch thing, its shockingly manoeuvrable.

Gonna give this a try today. I dont normally go for things like WoT/Minecraft, but anything with customizable deathmobiles and B12 players should be good.

I'm working on building some sort of hover tank right now, but as it stands, 6 hover props aren't enough to get it off the ground and keep it there, so I need to stick with the battle wagon a bit longer.
Which is just fine.
Because it's a motherfucking Battle Wagon.

Also, in the tech tree, every cube after the tier 1 ones have a symbol on them, looks kinda like a hexagon with a circular arrow around it. What's that mean?

At first glance I really like the game.

I really love going into a match and seeing 7 completely different player built vehicles.
I even saw a flying giraffe!

Playing a bit more, you realize that there is only two types of guns and 3 blocks of armour, there are different levels of each, but it doesn't matter as when you rank up your armour you get better guns too anyway.

And the price of blocks seems to be exponential, with 10 levels that means a level 10 gun costs 2^10 more than the standard one. That brings a max level gun to about 100k RP. with an average of 200 RP a game that means you gotta play ~500 to get one top tear gun. with the average match lasting 5 minutes, and waiting period of 2 minutes, this means you gotta play for 58 hours to get one damn gun........
Now much of this is based on maths, because I can't see the prices without unlocking the guns.
Or maybe you get more RP at higher tiers?

Also, stupid tier system, making me play against people with so tough armour I can't hurt them. I was shooting this one guy for 2 minutes straight, and no damage at all.(and I was not out of range, I could see the "hit" effects)


But overall, it's a nice free game!

Nobody defends. It just seems like a mad rush to the enemies base.

I have also been killed numerous times by tiny little machines with heavy armor. They seem to do very well overall.

That seems to be correct from what I've read on the forum. Some guy earns about 10k per round in T10 matches, with premium. Without premium, that's 5k I think, which isn't that bad. It's still 20 matches for one gun though

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My current ride. Still using stock parts except I upgraded the turrets to the 2nd level since there seemed to be such a large jump in max range.

Game is pretty fun. I'd like to see some different kinds of guns (long range missiles to go on my millipede perhaps) and tracks though. Separated parts of your vehicle being left scattered on the battlefield would be nice too.

Plasma Cannons and Rail Cannons have been confirmed. Plasma Cannons will fire slow projectiles in an arc and do AoE damage while Rail Cannons are kind of like an anti-armor sniper rifle, zoom included.

I'm personally hoping for a true artillery style weapon like in Chromehounds, where you had to aim at the air because of the heavy drop on the projectiles. Huge damage, long range and large AoE, but hard to aim. Perhaps the plasma cannons will fill this role though

It's pretty fun, if a bit lacking in parts, but I'm sure more will come sooner or later. I've been mostly rocking small and incredibly armed platforms, working on getting it as nimble as possible.

Anyone try helium blocks? I'm thinking of getting them for my flyer (flying fortress of dakka FTW) but I'm not sure how helpful they are.

Been fooling around with em for the past *cough* 8 hours :P

Get a few thrusters with em and you can go WAY the frak up

I'd post a few screenies of the builds i've been fooling around with but i ditch em almost as fast as i can make them :P

I did make a pretty awesome zeppelin though
