- You will earn a lot more RP for Damage, Kills and Base Caps
- And less RP for Victory and Bravery (i.e. defeat)

Not sure if this is a good thing when you can't buy anything to improve your vehicle because you keep getting instakilled by people with better vehicles. Of course, I'm still in tier 1, and only play for an hour or so every couple days (did I mention I'm still stuck in tier 1?).

if you disassemble the second bot and put everything together, you can reach t2 with the starting pieces.

you will have the firepower but not the armor to match, so play support and you will be fine

thats indeed a good tip.

also, they will increase the ammount of tier ranking armor and higer tier weapons give.
so you proably will see way less green or even orange bots in tier1.
if youre outgunned, try to pray on other weak bots. best, kill them while they shoot something else.
just follow stronger teammates. they usually just charge in and be a nice bait, so you can inflict some damage :)


i totally disassembled my glider. im a bit sad. that thing looked so awsome like a muzzle car and had all these nice yellow spikes.
but i just didnt like that hover glider concept much anymore. the guns where to easy striped, and it also was to easy to flip and then just helpless.

so, i have build another hover tank. i took some inspirations from the delta wing, so my chair is very far in front of the vehicle.
thing has become incredible ugly. i mean, like for real ugly. but also very effective. the better view alone gets me  tons of kills.

I'm in tier 6, almost 7. You start getting a huge amount of RP and TP later on.

yeah, i too had the feeling the higer i got in tiers the faster i went through the tiers.
also, keep in mind: noting wrong in having 15 radars if you can spare the cpu... they fit almost everywhere and give 0.5 rr for just 120 rp.

Well...except for the fact that you'll be a disadvantage for your team because you have 10+ radars on your tank instead of armor or weapons.

Is there an advantage to having lots of radar?

No. He wants to get into the higher tiers faster so that he gets more RP.

Of course, he'll die pretty much instantly, and his team is doomed. But you get a fair few points if you die, so I guess it works.

Personally, I don't think it's fair, so I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go through the tiers at a reasonable pace.

I was told that each radar tracks a different tank. So if two tanks are in range of your radars they will each individually track a different enemy tank. It's not worth it to have more than two in my opinion, because the tech cost quickly out weighs the advantages you gain.

Things I would like to see.

1. Ability to link thrusters and other motive devices to a specific direction. It is a nice newbie feature to autoset certain things, but when I build my flying box of doom, I can use my forward thrusters for rotary drive, assuming I can get one to fire and not the other. Currently, it doesn't do that.

2. Overlayable force lines in the garage. Perhaps a true "test" mode, in which you gain control of the tank while maintaining a free range camera, and you can use the various controls in concert and see what the force lines would be if it were actually running in game.

Otherwise, this is awesome.

meanwhile i rather try to keep my rating low...
the matchmaker will take into account the rating number, so once you have hit tier10, increasing the rating will also make the enemy team stronger.

anyway, i never instantly died because of a few radars more. of cause i did not fit them instead of armor or guns.
