Feb 7th 'Updates'It seems someone, officially or unoffically has taken the liberty of changing a few things about the game. No-one actually knows if it is SEGA/FROM or there are rumours of a Japanese guy changing things around in the game itself.
Anyway, whatever the case, a couple of instantly notable things are:
Hover-bases are now useless in the game. Even though they were used for speed - wheeled-bases are now MUCH faster and their load-capacity and durability has gone through the roof. They never lose much speed at all either before the HOUND is destroyed.
Everyone knows my scout design with triple RAS piles and hover base?
With Hover: Speed = 325 With Wheels: Speed = 344
Track-Bases have had their durability seriously upgraded, as a knock on effect and in conjunction with the below point inverse legs are becoming second choice to high-load and high durability track-bases.
Inverse legged Double-Doubles (DD's) are now useless because the cannons deviate randomly the instant they fire. rendering them death-traps for the pilot and team.
Apparently no more Triple-Doubles possible (Unconfirmed).
Shotguns have received a HUGE penetration power boost.
As such, the new "In" hound are wheeled lightly equiped hounds with light cockpits, shotguns and piles.
Someone else mentioned that an ammunition capacity for light rocket launchers was through the roof silly too but this, along with the triple double extinction theory remains a rumour.

Mighty Me? Pfft...
I don't think DD's and TD's are unbuildable on 2/4 legs but they fire so randomly...I took a DD on a Trail Sortie last night and it was awful, the core fire and splash area went nowhere near the intended targets.
There is probaby some way you can train yourself on the whole target/tadjectory successful hitting but a lot of people aren't bothering, mainyl because of the 4 legged base stability
On the whole it's like, even if you've outfitted your DD completely it's just like you have worse than default chips installed..

Having played a few matches last night with "Da Boyz" I can safely say that this is a change for the better.
It was agreed by all that the new uber weapon will become Rockets but they are far more easily avoided than DD's and the other may be Heat-Seekers but likewise this just requires a little distance to avoid.
All in all I think the changes are a good thing and will work to bring the Defender class back into play, what withthe improved Tread Chassis Armour
Might be time for us to start playing again as the guys already there when I joined had just played a high ranking clan and beaten them (now they have no working DD's I guess)

Sam you foo, you didn't even come back on last night. 
Well from what we did last night, without everyones precious DD's it seems the only "Tactic" they are capable of doing is Base rushing, rather funny actually.

And so begins the age of Tactics and proper class role usage in Chromehounds.
Viva la Revolution!
