Hello Zup

I have an issue. I cannot use the tank in the new version of DF. I cannot even aim it. Is there anyway I can upgrade it, or better yet, get my old tank back...PLEASE!,

I have over three million in points but can't seem to upgrade my tank to get my original tank back.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Von Kilner

Yes, what he said!
The gun barrel is too short and the tank is too slow.
It doesn't roll down hills either, it just flops over on its side.

I love the new tank. It takes tanks out of the battle and returns the offensive power to planes. Now if the chute rifle would just be replaced with a revolver with a 25 yard range the game would be much more focused on aircraft combat.

I have hit a few hangars with the new one though, it has an incredible arc.

I love the new tank.. yes it's slow, but tanks in WWI were barely able to exceed the speed of a man walking. Plus it's a tank from the right war now!

It does have better range than the old tank it seems. Which is probably far better than it should have.

But I am sure zuperman will have even more tanks available for us to buy soon.. this current tank will probably be a tier 1 tank.

Oh for god sake stop whining and get used to it. There are plenty of ways to use this new tank well. It may be slower and harder to aim but its smaller and a harder target.

Yea I agree with sky. It adds a new turn to the game, and when something new is added, u have 2 choices, adapt or don't use them. I use the new tank alot, and have nailed planes to the ground almost every game. The aim has been fixed so anyone can be an ace tanker now. U Just need practice. The tank is cool, I love it, best idea since brake immunity

Hi Zup

Thanks to the people who posted on the new tank issue. I must admit that after I posted my rant I tried out the new tank in a game and with a little coaching from the other players, managed to bring down two planes with it so am feeling more confident now.

I just find it awkward as the aiming button and the fire button are both on the right hand side of the iPad, so you need to take your thumb off the aim button to fire the shot. The previous tank the aiming button was on the left and the fire was on the right, so you could track a moving target better. You could also aim while on the move.

It would help to have the aim on the left and fire on the right. Just my suggestion.

Anyway, spose it will just take practice as one of the comments said.

Happy Easter

Yeah,

Tank aint that bad actually. It has SO MUCH BETTER AIMING. The only thing is it is slow. But what do you expect of a WW1 TANK, GREAT JOB ZUP.

Ok.I'm.starting to have some success with the new tank. Maybe zup can add a practice mission with the tank only that aiming thing gets tricky from range
