Cutlass

[levesque]

I remember Rob saying when the cutless was realeased that he wanted to know if it was overpowered for convoys because convoys is not what this tank is made for.

The only time i see people on the cutless including myself is during convoys because it does a great deal of damage to them. The only time i see the cutless usefull other then convoys is at super/nova tankers or w.e. But when people are clearing no ones gonna go switch to a cutless when they see a tanker cause its not worth it.

I think its a great tank and fun to play but i dont think its used for what its intended for. This could be fixed by making more situations where it is usefull. Maybe make Flying buildings? with ground units or with flying minions too? then it could help clear them well. Or nerf it a bit for convoys ( as much as i hate to say it cause i love them for voys)


Any opinions welcome

its cutlass, but I only see people using cutlass for convoys.(I don't have one yet)

As it stands... it's a convoy tank.

It can't do enough damage to structures to make it a viable soloing tank, and there aren't really enough flying things to make it too much use as an AA support tank. Though they are quite nice in support at the new Nova tower... it's far to niche a use for them to have much use outside of killing convoys (which they do very very well, especially Pink Deathvoys).

How to make it better?
Change it's overdrive from overdrive to 'target anything'. It does fine damage without an overdrive (with it and sitting on a convoy it's quite ridiculous). This would give it great burst damage, but on the whole still retain its AA strongpoints.

I agree on all accounts with Ood, except for the fix.

Also I see what you mean, I would be against nixing its overdrive. As not only is its overdrive one of the reasons its such a popular tank (as without overdrive, over tanks can still beat it in convoy dps with their overdrive), but also because of the nature of dealing damage with the thing (sitting on the tank). Why sit on the tank with the cutlass when you can overdrive your way to better damage from safer distances?. Ofc, if we wanted to make it not a convoy tank, this would be a great fix, but as I have stated, I love its gameplay in terms of being a convoy tank, so I would prefer to either keep it as it is, or replace another trigger (the insta-shield maybe?) with this.

Well at the moment Cutlass is very hard to unlock, so it's power against convoys should still be the same.
