UK: From 10am to 1pm GMT

With the new patch will come several new adjustments and changes. I have included a summary of some of the main points of the update and brief descriptions of the strategy behind each adjustment.

Defensive parts adjustments:
Enhance of defensive parts to increase difficulty in 'suicide attacks' on bases

Shotgun adjustments:
Reload time increased to balance ability to destroy base as quickly

Heavy Gunners adjustments:
Increased equilibrium characteristics of Quadraped legs. Firing misalignment of MSK-HC1500 will be restored to improve the accuracy.
As a result, the above 2 parts for Quadraped legs will have less firing misalignment and will be easier to handle.
Huge rocket firing misalignment adjusted
Huge rocket enables players to fire from long distance and had the possibility of attacking the headquarter at the start of a match.

Create more counters to fast moving HOUNDS:
Restore explosion range of ranged weapons
Missle speed of cannons increased
Huge cannon reload time reduced

Create counters to defensive aircrafts:
Sniper cannon firing backlash reduced
Reverse Joint leg equilibrium improved
Restore the ease of shooting in the same area for Sniper Cannon and make it possible to build anti aircrafts for [bird-type/DD] aircrafts. It can be destroyed by Sniper since the duration value of Huge cannon has been reduced in the previous patch.

Personally I think this is just going to return alot of the unbalancing features of the old Chrome Hounds. DD's look like their getting their power back and the new age of shotguns may be severely hampered depending on how slow the re-loads are.

I think we'll just have to wait and see.........

It is always one of those experemental times for the game. The concensous on the official site since the re-patch last time has been for the return of DD's (Yes the Chromehound site you filthy puppies, which other sites did you think I was talking about) and for the reduction in the much needed "base busting" runs.

I fear this may spell the end of practicallity and primary use of anti-hound piles as serious weapons *sniff* Sad

We will indeed see!

I think it is a great thing that Software as listening to what the players have to say and are actively modifying the game to appease them, but sadly the majority of the games on the 'official site' are sad ikkle american kiddies who just want lazy/easy DD kills.
I think we should just stick to NPC games and Free Battles until they realisr that the number of players jumped when they killed the DD's and dropped again when they made them viable again Smile
