Build 76

[rob]

Hello Brave Testers! We just pushed build 76. Changes include:

* Add Thunderbolt tank
* Fix stuttering movement under fire on some machines
* Add ability to see others' tank stats
* Change Bore Auger Patrol graphics

The Thunderbolt is a new level 20 tank. It has two modes: sharpshooter and brawler. We hope you'll enjoy it.

The other big project for the week was the addition of a way to see other players' stats. Click the magnifying glass button bring up the dialog, where you can click on others' names, or use the search box to find people that are not logged on.

We also fixed a very lame bug (sorry) that was causing performance problems for a lot of people. Please let us know if you see this again.

Thank you very much for helping us with testing. Please post opinions and comments below.

I wonder how hard you'll push build 77, for a double lucky number, I'm sure you'd love to knock it out hard.
Moral of the story: Stop being mean to build numbers.

Hey rob my lvl 20 tank unlock says it is a lvl 20 tank class unlock, not vindicator unlock.

So i started thinking that maybe it can unlock either vindy or the new one. i dont want to test it so lmk if its just a bug haha

Not build feedback but more of a question on nuke /stats. Also the removal of codes, is the game being planned for release?

Im not very good at this so ill point out some obvious things.

I really love this tank, it is a tonne of fun and how your shield trigger and mine trigger react differently depending on what mode you are in is sweet.

I like how the proximity mines detonate when something moves by it but can still deal good damage to buildings if there close when detonated.

I think sniper mode is very overpowered though, without overdrive i kill small buildings in 3-4 shots and it has a fairly fast fire rate. Also this is with no augments or mods. With over drive it is 2-3

It feels like playing a faster shooting hornet that isnt vulnerable from the front, or any side really


The brawler mode also seems very strong, it demolishes any groups of enemys coming for you and can easily take out small buildings for a while without even using the shield or mine trigger. also its 4 interior shields seem to regenerate very fast

I tend to love over powered classes, even though i hate to say it i think it needs to do less damage or have somthing done, ima play the shit out of this character before it gets nerfd lol.

Uhh 20tank unlocks give u a choice to unlock thunder or vind to clear that up.

Ide love to hear everyone elses thought on the Thunderbolt

Ima just point things out as i think of them, umm it would be nice to know which mode your in.

Also everything i said from above i derped and was by myself so had 50% bonuses but still without the bonuses it is a very strong tank

edit, noticed when driving into a building sometimes my sniper gun on thunderbolt will shoot past the building at minions or other building parts instead of hitting whats point blank

You can't press enter to search, it opens up the chat. Really annoying.

I just created my own ghost

I actually didn't hit force reload, it was the number 4, i was kinda lagging and it just happened, i didn't lose anything either.
So what just happened?

Hornet does this also.
