1
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:07,240
Let s go, as it is.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,200
Hello tankers!

3
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:10,480
Today we’re gonna have 
a slightly different video.

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,080
We usually show you videoblogs
or something like that,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,160
but today we have decided to do

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,440
a video announcement about 
the balance changes

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,180
that will be implemented soon.

8
00:00:20,180 --> 00:00:22,060
We usually do this in text format,

9
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:24,720
but we have noticed that sometimes these announcements

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,900
can cause a bit of confusion,

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,500
instead of making it clear for 
you what has changed and why.

12
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,260
So, in this video i will try to

13
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:32,760
explain clearly and briefly

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,340
what we have changed, in what way

15
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,900
we have changed it, and most importantly

16
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,180
why we have changed it.

17
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,060
Let s try, and we’ll see,
how it works out,

18
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:42,740
maybe it will be much better.

19
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040
We have implemented changes 
in a few turrets:

20
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,400
these are Firebird, Isida, Hammer,
Smoky, Striker, Thunder and Magnum.

21
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Let’s start with Firebird.

22
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,520
The only change is that

23
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,340
the heating rate of tanks has 
been increased from 0.2 to 0.4.

24
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:02,860
But what is 0.2 really? Let me explain
so you can understand how it works.

25
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:06,160
Every second that Firebird is 
attacking an enemy

26
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,480
at its optimal range,
it heats it slightly.

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,320
0.2 is the index at which 
Firebird heats the enemy.

28
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,200
Unfortunately, this index was so low,

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,320
that in the 5 second duration of the 
energy gauge it could hardly reach

30
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,200
maximum temperature,
so the damage was low.

31
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,880
We’ve received lots of feedback about this,

32
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,220
and we have paid attention to it

33
00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:27,900
and decided to tweak things a bit.

34
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:29,660
Of course, we researched it very carefully first.

35
00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:31,840
Where is Firebird in the game balance?

36
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:35,580
What happens to it in battles against other turrets?

37
00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:38,680
This led us to the conclusion
that if we increase this parameter slightly,

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,300
nothing bad will happen.

39
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:41,920
That s why we increase it.

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,280
At the same time, we decreased 
the bonus given by its alteration

41
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,740
by exactly the same amount,
that we increased for the turret.

42
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:51,280
In reality, the end result for the alteration
is that nothing really changes,

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,680
it remains as it was.

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,580
It’s just the basic Firebird that changes.

45
00:01:54,580 --> 00:01:56,720
We really hope you
will like these changes.

46
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,860
Let s see how they will influence the game.

47
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:03,000
Hopefully Firebird will not annoy tankers too much.

48
00:02:03,020 --> 00:02:04,180
Next is Isida.

49
00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:06,409
Isida has also received positive changes:

50
00:02:06,409 --> 00:02:09,900
It s damage and healing have been increased.

51
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:11,400
What happened exactly?

52
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040
We realized that Isida still 
couldn’t compete effectively

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,060
against other close combat turrets.

54
00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:18,260
You’re probably asking,

55
00:02:18,260 --> 00:02:20,700
why not bring back self-healing for this turret,

56
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,269
that would make it great 
again as it was in the past.

57
00:02:23,269 --> 00:02:24,810
The trouble with self-healing,

58
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:27,660
was that it wasn’t much fun to play against it.

59
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:30,500
Of course, if you had self-healing
and you reached your enemy

60
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,240
it was quick and easy,

61
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,060
you could destroy them in a few seconds,
and they wouldn’t be able to do anything to you.

62
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:39,340
But when you played against Isida,
it didn’t really feel fair.

63
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Isida would come close to you,

64
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,900
and it would be simply unkillable

65
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:45,840
and there was nothing you could do about it.

66
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,660
That s why we decided to remove self-healing,

67
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:54,120
and instead do something more 
interesting with its damage.

68
00:02:54,140 --> 00:03:00,040
Now the damage will be 
increased to 1000 dps when fully upgraded

69
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,080
So it looks like with a fully charged tank

70
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,900
Isida will be the turret, that will deal

71
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,940
the biggest damage per second in the game,

72
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:08,740
even bigger than what Twins did before.

73
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:11,060
Of course as long as the energy gauge isn’t empty.

74
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:12,840
It is much more interesting to play

75
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,900
and the damage is just amazing,
much better than self-healing

76
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:21,500
and we could only do this
after we removed self-healing.

77
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:24,940
We hope you will also like such Isida.

78
00:03:24,940 --> 00:03:29,260
Remember, big damage still 
doesn’t make this turret

79
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:31,960
better than, for example, Firebird or Freeze,

80
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,279
because Isida doesn t heat, and it doesn t freeze,

81
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,700
plus it still only attacks one tank.

82
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,360
We hope, that you will enjoy Isida a lot more now.

83
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,460
Now, the most difficult point.

84
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:47,020
The changes in Hammer’s balance.

85
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:50,860
It s horizontal spread has been increased slightly,

86
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,900
and the range of maximum damage has been increased

87
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:56,120
while the turret’s rotation speed when using 
the alteration has been decreased.

88
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,680
How does this affect the turret

89
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,720
and what is the range of maximum damage?

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Overall, there are now many Hammers,

91
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,400
especially in DM battles,

92
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,100
and they drive Twins and Ricochets out of DM battles,

93
00:04:09,109 --> 00:04:10,939
because they are in principle efficient

94
00:04:10,939 --> 00:04:13,559
on the range, that these turrets are efficient,

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,220
and Hammer is still better than
close combat turrets,

96
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:18,520
because it simply doesn t have to get

97
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,340
within the range of close combat turrets

98
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:22,500
and can reach them efficiently.

99
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,160
So the turret is overpowered 
and has to be weakened in some way,

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520
but decreasing the damage or firing rate

101
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,340
doesn’t make the turret interesting.

102
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:33,520
In reality, it just makes 
the turret too weak.

103
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,980
Even a slight decrease in damage or firing rate

104
00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:38,760
would make the turret less interesting

105
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,890
and give it nothing new, right?

106
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:42,020
It needs to be weakened in some way,

107
00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:44,160
but also get some kind of new feature,

108
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,820
while at the same time become less aggressive.

109
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:50,100
That s why we have decided to increase
horizontal spread

110
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:53,300
from 7 degrees to 10 degrees.

111
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:55,140
How will this affect the turret?

112
00:04:55,140 --> 00:04:57,480
In close combat, when you are very close to tanks,

113
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,540
nothing will really change.

114
00:04:58,540 --> 00:05:00,400
You will still be able to destroy your enemies,

115
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,720
just like you did with the old Hammer.

116
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,240
The changes are visible in mid-range combat.

117
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,460
Due to the increased spread angle

118
00:05:07,460 --> 00:05:10,400
when attacking one tank,

119
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,820
your damage will probably be less,

120
00:05:12,820 --> 00:05:15,160
the farther the tank is from you

121
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360
But at the same time, due to the big spread

122
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,840
you will be able to damage several tanks,

123
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,780
as long as they are within your range.

124
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:25,620
So, before, you didn’t really have a choice.

125
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:27,680
You would see a tank and you would shoot it.

126
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,260
The only question was whether you would hit it or not.

127
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:32,060
But now you will have a choice
between close combat shooting,

128
00:05:32,060 --> 00:05:33,780
where you’re guaranteed to hit one tank,

129
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:36,380
or mid-range combat,

130
00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:39,500
with the opportunity to destroy several tanks.

131
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,540
To make mid-range combat
more practical,

132
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:45,900
we’ve increased the range of maximum damage.

133
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:48,540
Without getting into too much detail

134
00:05:48,540 --> 00:05:51,840
this means that the damage of your pellets

135
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,940
will remain constant over a longer distance

136
00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:56,320
and will not decrease.

137
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400
So let’s say you see a few tanks,

138
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,420
in the distance, for example on a small bridge,

139
00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:03,520
on the Novel map,

140
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,220
you can hit them all with one shot

141
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:10,580
and even deal them a fair amount of damage.

142
00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:12,680
As for the alteration

143
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440
due to the increased
range of maximum damage

144
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,300
we had to weaken the Slugger alteration slightly.

145
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,480
This alteration makes your damage cone narrower

146
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,020
to give you a smaller spread of pellets.

147
00:06:23,020 --> 00:06:25,480
We had to weaken this alteration due

148
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,120
to the small spread angle

149
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,280
and due to the increase in the

150
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,820
range of efficient shooting,

151
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:31,400
which is why this alteration had to be slightly weakened.

152
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,240
So we weakened it

153
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:35,430
by decreasing the turret rotation speed.

154
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:36,280
That s it.

155
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:37,420
Okay, let s go on.

156
00:06:37,420 --> 00:06:39,360
The next turret is Smoky.

157
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,180
Smoky also has some interesting changes.

158
00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:43,020
Its critical shot chance

159
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:45,800
now increases with its level.

160
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,980
The maximum critical chance remains the same, about 20%,

161
00:06:47,980 --> 00:06:52,740
and minimum will be about 10-11%.

162
00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:54,960
How will this affect Smoky?

163
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:58,360
About 2-3 years ago,

164
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Smoky had very strong critical damage.

165
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,980
Whenever it happened, Smoky could destroy

166
00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:07,100
almost any tank with one shot.

167
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,060
But when the critical shot didn’t come out,

168
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:10,900
Smoky was almost useless.

169
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:12,420
On one side, it was cool, because

170
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,240
to destroy a tank with just one shot

171
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,000
is awesome.

172
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,960
On the other hand
there were some very serious problems.

173
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,740
For example, when trying to attack a base

174
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:24,940
that is protected by heavy tanks,

175
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:27,680
and two Smokies were attacking,
one of two things can happen.

176
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,080
Either they get lucky and deal critical damage

177
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,340
with almost every shot,

178
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:34,340
destroying the whole defense

179
00:07:34,340 --> 00:07:37,180
with just 3-4 shots without giving the enemies any chance to recover.

180
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:39,680
Or they get unlucky

181
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,430
and won’t be able to destroy anybody at all.

182
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:44,389
This was definitely not cool

183
00:07:44,389 --> 00:07:46,420
because the player could not influence this in any way.

184
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:49,100
So it was the Game that decided:
“you can destroy all the tanks now”

185
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:50,860
or “you do not destroy anybody.”

186
00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:52,140
This was not good

187
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:56,980
because it was impossible to manage this turret.

188
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,400
So, what has happened to Smoky now?

189
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Its critical damage is

190
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,160
slightly smaller than it used to be

191
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320
but with the changes we’ve implemented,

192
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,720
you kinda get two Smokies in one.

193
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,840
At the early levels

194
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,320
critical damage will happen sparingly,

195
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,760
but at the same time, it will deal at least double the damage

196
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,080
of your standard shot, and even more.

197
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,900
But as you upgrade your turret

198
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:22,980
and play with it, the critical shot

199
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:24,760
will not become stronger.

200
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,180
It will get improve by 100

201
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:29,720
or 110 hitpoints when upgrading,

202
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,400
but at the same time, critical chance will increase.

203
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280
This means that at the early levels you can deal

204
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,900
very serious damage, but only occasionally,

205
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:39,080
but at the later stages, you will have

206
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,820
a more stable increased damage output.

207
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:43,300
And if you understand,

208
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:44,560
how distance works in game,

209
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,560
you will be able to use it efficiently. For example,

210
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,340
damage doesn t decrease with distance.

211
00:08:48,340 --> 00:08:51,660
Smoky is a turret for beginners,
and it is always fun for them

212
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:53,480
while shooting a tank

213
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,120
finally watching it explode.

214
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,680
The increased critical damage

215
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:59,360
should help them with that.

216
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,860
If you have any low rank accounts,

217
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:02,980
you should definitely try Smoky.

218
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:05,620
Have a look, and tell us whether you think

219
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:07,839
it has become better and more interesting.

220
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,440
… Striker.

221
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,200
Next, next, next…

222
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,600
The next one is the Striker turret, and it undergoes two changes.

223
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,140
We have increased the starting velocity of its rockets

224
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:21,820
from 10 m/sec to 20 m/sec

225
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:24,020
and increased the maximum damage radius

226
00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:26,160
from 0  to 1 meter.

227
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,860
What kind of magic is this and how does it work?

228
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:32,240
The explanation is simple.

229
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Some tankers believe,

230
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,180
that rockets do not fly straight,

231
00:09:36,180 --> 00:09:40,540
that they curve or waver in some way,

232
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:42,800
as they fly past the tanks.

233
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,580
This happens not with aimed shots,

234
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:46,399
but when firing a single rocket.

235
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,569
In reality, the rocket always flies straight.

236
00:09:48,569 --> 00:09:51,120
It goes where you have aimed it.

237
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,100
These weird effects appear due to fact, that

238
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:55,420
rockets are fired from alternating sides,

239
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,260
so you do not see a straight line

240
00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:58,980
like when firing a Thunder.

241
00:09:58,990 --> 00:10:00,410
On Striker you do not see it,

242
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:03,220
and it is much harder to align it in your mind.

243
00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:06,260
And the second thing, something that not everyone sees,

244
00:10:06,260 --> 00:10:09,120
is that rockets accelerate while flying.

245
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,740
At the beginning they start flying quite slowly,

246
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:12,760
and then the get faster, faster and faster,

247
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,900
until they reach their

248
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,420
maximum speed.

249
00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:17,080
Due to this fact,

250
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,300
when moving

251
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:20,600
and firing to the side,

252
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,580
it might appear that

253
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:23,940
that rocket is flying in an arc.

254
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:25,600
In fact, it flies straight.

255
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,100
Well.

256
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:30,780
We have slightly increased rockets starting velocity,

257
00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:33,160
from 10 to 20 m/sec.

258
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,000
It is a very slight change,

259
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,780
but it makes it a bit easier

260
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:39,800
to shoot moving tanks.

261
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,160
We also did it because,

262
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,820
while there are some players

263
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:44,540
who understand how to play with this turret,

264
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:45,800
and use it very efficiently,

265
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,520
there are others who

266
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,700
do not understand this mechanic

267
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:51,600
of accelerating rockets,

268
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,940
and this makes them inefficient.

269
00:10:53,940 --> 00:10:55,640
We don’t want to give too much advantage

270
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,420
to tankers who can play very well,

271
00:10:57,420 --> 00:10:59,720
but we want to help players

272
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,880
who are trying to learn how to play with this turret.

273
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,700
Since rocket starting velocity

274
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,340
is going to be increased slightly,

275
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:09,200
it will be easier to shoot Hornets or Wasps,

276
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,460
that try to run around you.

277
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:12,740
But remember, that you still need

278
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:14,180
to keep your distance due to the

279
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:15,340
second change that we’ve made in this turret.

280
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:17,360
That is the increase in maximum damage radius.

281
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,079
Every rocket has a splash damage radius.

282
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
And there is the maximum damage

283
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,140
that you can make,

284
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,880
and minimum damage, depending on the distance.

285
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,940
Splash damage has become a bit more efficient,

286
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:29,980
but you should understand that with increase in

287
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,860
efficiency, self-damage also increases.

288
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,180
So with all these changes

289
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:38,520
we’re giving you tools,

290
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,760
that let you

291
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,760
work more efficient at longer distance,

292
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,120
but at the same time don’t allow 
you to enter close combat,

293
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,480
because if you do, you will get

294
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,339
bigger self-damage.

295
00:11:48,339 --> 00:11:49,779
We hope, that this Striker

296
00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:51,980
will be slightly better to manage,

297
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:55,180
a bit easier, and more interesting.

298
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:56,580
Onwards...

299
00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:59,860
Next, are the changes for Thunder.

300
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:02,500
Weak splash damage rate was changed

301
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,880
and maximum damage radius was increased.

302
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,300
It’s simple. We found that

303
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,600
the damage reduction over distance, as a bit more

304
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,220
than needed. So, we have fixed it.

305
00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:14,320
Now Thunder is much more efficient at that range,

306
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,880
as it was intended to be.

307
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,100
And at the same we have implemented the same changes

308
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,400
for self-damage in close combat, as with Striker.

309
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,640
I’ve already explained how this 
works while talking about Striker

310
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880
so there’s no need to explain it a second time.

311
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,420
The next and final change

312
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:27,580
is for Magnum.

313
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,760
It’s quite simple.

314
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,180
Charging time will be increased
from 2 seconds to 3 seconds.

315
00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:36,120
What is this — a nerf or what?

316
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,080
We listened to your feedback about the fact

317
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,620
that even if you know

318
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:44,380
at which angle and how 
much power you should shoot,

319
00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:46,340
it is very hard to hit the same point

320
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:47,380
multiple times in a row

321
00:12:47,380 --> 00:12:48,500
especially when the shot is

322
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:49,720
not at maximum power.

323
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,760
This happens due to fact that

324
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,860
charging happens very quickly,

325
00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:56,440
which makes it hard to hit a specific percentage.

326
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,600
If you have problems with graphics

327
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,840
for example your FPS is lower than 60 or even 30,

328
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,100
it becomes even harder to hit the exact percentage you want.

329
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,839
For this reason, we’ve increased charging time

330
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,880
from 2 to 3 seconds.

331
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,700
This means that

332
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,620
the power gauge

333
00:13:11,620 --> 00:13:12,940
will fill up more slowly,

334
00:13:12,940 --> 00:13:15,480
and hitting the needed percent of shot power

335
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,860
will be much easier.

336
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:18,800
Of course, you need to keep in mind, 
that at the same time

337
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,780
your firing rate at long distances

338
00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:24,980
with maximum shot power, is decreasing.

339
00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:27,620
But we think, that an increase in efficiency

340
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:29,640
at shorter distances

341
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,740
with less power makes it worth it.

342
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,340
Additionally, since Magnum

343
00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:36,660
can reach any point on the map,

344
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:39,240
the slight decrease in firing rate

345
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,260
should not influence its efficiency too badly,

346
00:13:41,260 --> 00:13:43,300
while the increase in efficiency,

347
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:46,740
and precision at short and mid distances,

348
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:48,180
should help significantly

349
00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:52,760
and in general will make the turret better.

350
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,920
I didn’t plan a proper ending,

351
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,040
so let me tell you something interesting, okay?

352
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,820
That’s all the news about balance at the moment.

353
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:00,560
I hope, i explained everything clearly.

354
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,600
Please give us your feedback regarding

355
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,500
this video, and whether you liked it or not.

356
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,900
Should we do something like this in addition to the v-log

357
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:09,280
or separately from v-logs?

358
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,619
Should I explain everything in so much detail

359
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:13,720
or should I be more generic?

360
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,320

Also, make sure you check out the changes

363
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,600
and tell us whether

364
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,040
we managed to achieve the goals I explained here,

365
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,900
or whether we did something wrong.

366
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,180
We really want to get your feedback.
