Massive Warfare - T08 Update

While the T08 looks good on paper, there are definitely pros and cons...

 

Pros:

1. War Turtle - Fast charging (12s), duration (4s), self-healing moving invulnerable tank. What more can I say... My T7 Behemoth lost to a T08 bad player in a team battle. A good player landslide victory over me.
2. One-shot with lower power? - With striker, if one can one-shot bots at lower power, upgrades can be devoted to upgrade speed making it move and turn faster. New records will be set soon.

Cons:

1. Lower Profile - Blind spots that only expose your turret and hide your hitbox does not work or need adjustments on certain maps. E.g. Volcano, Castle town, Oasis. Ramps need to peek out more, thus exposing your hitbox with the risk of being shot. In retrospect, new blind/strategic spots can be discovered with the new lower profile.
2. War Turtle Bugs - Propagation delay of about 0.5s after activation. Occasionally, it activates but no purple shield and not effective especially when you mesh on the UA button just before it finishes recharging.
3. Uncomplimentary Pilot skills - Reduced damage with prediction reduces the shot absorbed to be converted to health, so it's bad.
4. Bots learn to avoid your War Turtle - they miss or do not fire on purpose after you activated. However, the developers put in a certain probability %.

Massive Warfare - T8 Configuration Analysis

TinyBytes Recommended T8 Settings

T8 Vehicle	FP	Supply	Hull	Engine	Mobile
Helicopter (VIP Predator)	40	23 (25.25 rpm)	10	36 (139.17 kmh)	40
Hovercraft (Neptune)	40	26 (25.5 rpm)	8	40 (129,43 kmh)	40
Helicopter (KA-50) (7,299)	40	26 (25.8 rpm)	10	11 (90.75 kmh)	24
Tank (T08)	40	29 (26.51 rpm)	7	0 (58.47 kmh)	28

From my analysis, perhaps to overcome the bots:

1. Firepower must be maxed at 40
2. Supply > 25 rpm
3. Engine + Mobility > 90 kmh

I do not recommend adding anything to the hull yet.

Nevertheless, I recommend to do 40 0 0 0 0, increment 1 upgrade and test thoroughly.
Before proceeding to the next incremental upgrade.

Massive Warfare - T8 Ultimate Abilities

Ultimate Abilities are new Vehicle Special Abilities that look to be added as a new refreshing game mechanic without disrupting the current Game Balance. Ultimate Abilities are based on the following rules:

• As an initial implementation, only vehicles with a Tier 8 or Higher will have an Ultimate Ability. Similar to Tech Equipment, Ultimate Abilities can either have an Offensive, Defensive or Supportive role.
  
  

• Every Ultimate Ability is has three default variables:
  
  

  • Initial Cooldown: Time to wait to use the Ultimate Ability after starting a Battle.
    
    

  • Cooldown: Time to wait to use the Ultimate Ability after activating it.
    
    

• If player was playing with (X) vehicle and respawns with a (Y) vehicle, the player is required to wait for the Initial Cooldown of the (Y) vehicle in order to use its Ultimate Ability.
  
  

Each Ultimate Ability has a Rarity Level: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. The greatest is the rarity of an Ultimate Ability, the better are its statistics and overall Battle performance. 

The following Ultimates are available in game:

• Hovercraft (Neptune) – [Berserk]: Quick Reload + Extra Damage for [X] seconds.


• Helicopter (KA-50) - [Satellite EMP]: Disable all vehicles present on the battleground in [Y] radius for [X] seconds. The vehicle is healed on [Z]% per each disabled vehicle.
  
  
• Tank (T-08) - [War Turtle]: Activates a shield that makes the Tank invulnerable for [X] seconds, receiving impacts while the shield is active will heal the Tank on [Y]% based on the incoming shot total damage.
  
  
• Helicopter (VIP Predator) - [Mini Nuke]:  Creates an explosion in place destroying all enemy vehicles in [X] radius meters.

Ultimates are activated trough a new Button available at Battle while using a Vehicle that has an Ultimate Ability.  The Ultimate Action Button has two different States:

• Ready: Displayed when the Ultimate is Ready to be used (cooldown/activating time is over). Interacting with the button at this state activates the Vehicle’s Ultimate Ability and set the Ultimate to be on Cooldown Status.

• Charging: Displayed while an Ultimate is in cooldown. At this state the button is non interactable. Once cooldown is completed the Ultimate is set to be Ready.

In game you can check how an specific  Vehicle’s Ultimate Ability through the Vehicle Ultimate Access Button now present at the Vehicle and Upgrade sections. The Access Button is available only on Vehicles that have an assigned Ultimate Ability.
