If u thought Scorpion couldn't get more ridiculous, you were wrong. How the heck did they manage to make an augment that has basically no downside. I'm starting to think that the exotic rarity is their excuse to make things op.
They should've increased the reload and lock-on time of the missiles, lol. Not reduce them. I guess their tought process was "Welp, we gave everyone a free MK7 Scorpion protection, lets make up for it."
I didn't get tornado or spear but I got nanotech shels and it's hilarious, when I shoot the juggernaut on my team everyone looks at my like wtf u doing lol
Yeah… this augment is a camper’s wet dream (like me) but even better than that is your high pitched ‘bye-bye’ taunt… like seriously tornado… halved the reload time and added six extra rockets with splash damage??? And the only downside is the main gun??? Also detective999 is a cool dude
I LOVE this augment! I guess because I love the Berlin map as well. Yeah, they will probably nerf the base damage because it is a 1-salvo (with Crisis DD) Juggernaut killer.
Yes I'm quite glad that clans are back, I thought I'd wasted 2000 of my hard-earned tankoins on making my own clan but its a real relief that they're back. I've also got an account in your clan as well, which led me to watch your videos, and I must say they're not only entertaining, but informative as well :D
@@edmardisla8492 tbh not really anything, you can group with clanmates easily and theres a clan chat. They used to give you free access to pro battles but that's really it. I just like the tags they give
EMP Scorpion applies it on crits and rockets without penalty. Pulsar has reduced crit, does not apply effects with rockets and the actual crit damage is slashed. That should make the choice quite obvious, unless entire enemy team is immune to EMP.
@@sapphirescryb5775 Nice, I just got emp shells from an ultra container, but I think tornado is better, bc I can turn around more easily to do the close range trick. It basically makes swarm useless
@@xb6xx Well, Swarm will still be faster in both release and delivery, and will work in close quarters; but it's true that both Tornado and Spear make it less desirable. It's somewhat of a middle-ground between them, and well... "mid" is not a desirable trait for your equipment to have, is it? Hehe.
I don't understand why developers create so many powerful augments for Scorpion, ignoring that the game must have a balance. Basically everyone in the game already has Scorpion in their garage, it's not like the occurrence of this aberration is rare. Someone on the development team really likes this turret.
@@snomgangscorch9557 It was never balanced, it was just less deadly. You get missiles and you don't even know where they come from, they can attack stealthily, quick aim and cannon that does 1300 damage. Ridiculous turret.
@@K-kof2000 That's a fair point, however, you can make the same argument for gauss. But referring to scorpion, you already run protection for it, so the damage is already heavily reduced, no matter how much protection you have. If you have crisis, the missiles are almost completely invalidated, because, you use double armor, and a well times repair kit, it's almost impossible to die to scorpion. If you DONT have crisis, (let's just say brutis) it's less likely you survive, but still possible. Any other drone, it's pretty difficult to survive (other than lifeguard it's ez to live off the repair lol) for the tornado augment (I think that's what it's called) again, it's almost completely invalidated by prot+double armor+crisis. push comes to shove, the turn around trick does not work well with things like fb, freeze, tesla, hammer, things like that. Or, just run gauss, ares, you always survive the missiles with a repair kit.
@@snomgangscorch9557 False, Scorpion can activate covertly and you won't know exactly where it came from to fight back, unlike Gauss who creates a beam of light and you can know the direction of the shot. That is, if you survive Scorpion, you probably won't be able to fight back. Scorpion fires several missiles and also has a very strong cannon, which can be used in sequence to finish the target, you can have 50% protection but then you get a critical hit and you die anyway, you can have Armadillo, but this module it's too expensive for most players, you can have Crysis, but so can he. Anyway, Scorpion attacks very efficiently and it's not hard to see Scorpion players with very high KD in battle. So your argument is invalid.
@@K-kof2000 I do agree that it can activate covertly, making it hard to tell where it's coming from, but if you play like me, and constantly, switch between high and low camera angles, it's easy to tell if missiles are coming at you, I just got back from a camping trip, so I don't know if gauss changed, but I don't remember a laser, you might be thinking of striker. Striker is a different debate, but referring to scorpion, again, if you have crisis, and if it is around the same level as your opponent, you basically negates the extra damage. (stats for nerds) Initial crit chance: 3% (chance after spawning) Chance step: 0% (chance increase after each shot) Max chance: 3% Consecutive chance: 0% (chance of getting it multiple times in a row) Damage boost: 18% While the chances are low it's likely you'll die from the crit. Again, IF it doesn't crit, you can live with a very well timed repair kit, you can comfortably survive the missiles. I will admit, that if you run a light or medium hull, it's much harder to live that, but the same argument can be made for striker, if you get locked onto, it's nearly impossible to live, but you rarely get locked onto by striker (unless it's the stun augment) But otherwise, the crits don't happen often enough for those to be taken into account. Unless you have any other arguements for why scorpion is overpowered, (or anyone reading this for that matter) I think this is closed.
- what was the need to add splash damage to it? - what was the need to reduce the reload time? They continue to destroy the game even more & the tanki community doesn't even do anything about it
true, till 2018 when Kasim was dev this game seems balanced but now, you can have 9999 GS on lieutant rank, im a f2p one on legend 7 and my max GS is 9500 after 900 hours of active upgrading modules without speeding up, that's is hillarous and also mind blowing, how this game is p2w
@@siwy482 your argument is not even an argument. 1st of all, the game is way less p2w than it used to be, so much so that even as a completely f2p player... - you no longer need a whole life time worth of grinding countless hours everyday just to rank up *ONCE* or to gather enough crystals to upgrade your tank at all (heck even product kits are balanced in nowadays economy). - paints are now completely cosmetic and separate from protections. - most skins/paints are now much easier to obtain, meaning that you usually have multiple opportunities to do so - you now have actual dynamic protections (meaning they're not a fixed percentage or stuck to a specific paint) that you can u swap around and upgrade individually just like you do with your tank - product kit's are no longer a must buy as you gain both crystals and exp at a much higher rate. - supplies are way easier to obtain to the point you can stack them up without spending a single crystal besides the daily 95% off 30x from the shop and the list goes on... 2nd, the fact that you said *"im a f2p one on legend 7 and my max GS is 9500 after 900 hours of active upgrading modules without speeding up"* and *"you can have 9999 GS on lieutant rank"* and somehow you still think the game is very p2w clearly shows how little your understanding of the truly game is. you have way more hours played than me, way more than half of the tanki players even, yet your understanding of the game is less than half of mine. (if u want 9999 GS you need a bare minimum of marshal rank) as a matter of fact i started playing tanki in 2011 and quit when drones first came out as the game at that point in time became completely unplayable for f2p players like you and me. i only came back to tanki last year right after the tanki birthday event. at that point i was *lieutenant colonel* and barely had *3k GS* using my best combo with a drone with 0 upgrades and barely any supplies left. i am now currently legend 1, about to hit legend 2 and i already have maxed hunter, maxed scorpion, maxed brutus, lvl 17 crisis, mk7-17 ricochet, mk7-4 viking, mk5 thunder, mk5 railgun, mk5 isida and 6 protection modules at 40% protection, a lot of good augments for both hulls and turrets, 10k+ of each supply (and this is with me not spending the crystals with utmost efficiency because i did spend a bit of them outside any sales) good luck doing that during 2017 or earlier without spending a lot of money every single month
@@talha_05 hey look guys another clueless 0.5 kd tanki player telling me to stfu... you provide no arguments yourself and you clearly didn't read any of what i said in my previous comment do you even know what "pay to play" means to begin with? obviously you don't otherwise you wouldn't have commented in the first place. before spewing out nonsense into the comments try thinking for 5 seconds and doing some research
it is pretty cracked but not many ppl have it and it is still insanely easy to hide from the rockets so id say its relatively balanced in game tho. also in addition to the spinning turret thing, you can shoot while resting on a slope or ramp and the rockets will go in from the side
@@K-kof2000 Indeed, 16 missiles greatly increases the chances of getting killed by them, but if you manage to hide behind a wall, you might just survive it. Unless a targeted teammate goes near you :P (death by splash damage)
although i will say one op thing abt it is the mechanic to make it target multiple tanks far apart from each other (dont think that was intended by the devs but theres certain steps u can do to initiate the 'bug')
Hey whatabout top 5-10 combos to use with a friend exampels: Titan vulcan with overheat + diktator and isida with nanobots Magnum or gauß with shield break + thunder or high damage Etc... I dont have a channel but little shoutout to 999 (me) would be cool
And ofc me in the blue team with the only 1 prize won got the trash pulsar for scorpion...it's so useless you don't even have time to shoot a 2nd time when you get a crit shot...
can someone help me? i downloaded the html5 tanki online, but everytime i try to join a match, it says i lost connection with the server, someone know how to fix it?
