Zup,

Did you mean to slow down the tanks in these latest changes? It's probably more realistic now, but geez it barely moves, compared even to the most recent slowed tank. I have all the tank upgrades.

DF 4.4.59, Android 4.4.4, Samsung S4.

I may be wrong but I think zup said it moves as fast as it did previously,but due to its increased size it appears to be moving slower. I thought the same so I watched the progress on the map and there it seems to go as fast .

It don't matter how fast or slow they are, they have no chance at anything because of their size. You can't miss these things while shooting at them now. No chance for even getting close to a base with them.

This was the same reason give for the planes, and just as untrue here. The tank barely moves. It has nothing to do with size making it seem slower, it is slower. So slow that it is a waste of time to crawl in one, as you can't advance into shell range, can't move fast enough to juke opposing planes, and unless you have heavily uneven teams there is no chance of approaching the base as the planes shoot through the carpet of trees, while the tank has to try and wiggle around them..

It seems slower...but it jumps when you enter it and that's very odd. This happened on flat surface and not on a slope.

I would like to see them be faster too, could help with the never-ending bombing mission issue.

also, it seems that the tank shells have less power to them since the update (im playing on windows 8.1) i cant hit anything with the damn tank....and ask many people on here....even if i couldnt actually hit them i could put a shell close enough to them that they felt the breeze from any position or angle if they were in range....now planes can hit me well inside te old tank range and i still cant get a shell near them.

rather irritatng seeing as how i cant hit anything with a plane anymore either because of the damn lag

i've been playing with the windows update for a couple nights and the tank is ridiculous. it really is of no use anymore.


i think we may be better off with giving the soldier a mortar to set up in the field. if the tank is too realistic it won't stand a chance against airplanes. it just can't move quickly enough to get into range before being destroyed.


the only thing the tank is really good for is getting hangars. trying to shoot down planes with it still has no effect for me. it looks cool to see the plane fly through the explosion but they don't go down...


ps. i do enjoy the new sights with the visible barrel for the cannon. that is very cool!

I won two games with those "slow tanks". Just my input.

What were the numbers on each team, and ranks? I can see hitting if the other side is outnumbered and harried, or outclassed, but four on four with quality opponents I don't see any threat at all from tanks anymore. I'm mowing them down as they can't get away anymore.

yeah i agree longrifle....the tank is now about as big as the carrier. i mean, i can see it from my carrier all the way across the lake......AND shoot it first try

Even teams and lvl 15 and higher players

I crap faster than the tank.i spent $ on tank speed upgrade ,because I spent it all on d-8 .
