not me!
i cant afford the l4s gun. yet.

anyway. l3 wheels ROCK!

yeah. i still would aim for the full 5 guns tho.
but then... 2 guns seem to be more accurate then 5.

Until you can get better armour blocks or guns, just spam plenty of plastic armor (you have a ton anyway).

i disagree on this advise.
i like to keep my tanks as  small as possible with a low silluette. they will flip less often, be much more manuverable and much harder to hit. huge cube sinks just make for so easy targets.
guns are the big factor here. l1 guns fit everywhere, but already l2 guns require a lot of space.

i kind of agree on the L2s guns,  on paper they are very good. especially as larger guns not only may push you into a higher tier, but also are... larger and thus its harder to fit as many of them.
on the other hand, in my tier1 matches i totally got raped by single l3 guns, even if my tank was 0.01 rating away from tier2, too.
but a single hit from these guns not only killed several of my cubes, it also made my tank shake a lot.
so, i have to try them. once i can afford them that is.
my next goal are l3s wheels anyhow. need more hitpoints on the wheels, they always die to fast.

anything l3 is damn expensive! 1k per cube... the wheels i want are 4500 a pice

anyway, it lives and evolves!

fun to play. almost impossible to trip (ok... somehow i still manage it to do that   )
very fast, and durable. usually when i die, there isnt much left exept the chair. most of the lvl2 armor is not visible as its inside the tank.
tho, im not sure if thats a good approach. maby it would be smarter to have the duarble armour on the ouside, and the softer cubes inside.
but then, i tried that, and it didnt realy worked out for me. once i had a hole in the hull ,the whole thing fell appart.

best would be all good armour of cause, but cubes are so expensive

hm, it seems tier2 matches actually are more easy  then tier one matches.
tier one, there are so many over pimped cars with all orange armor and a single 3s gun.
as said... i think they realy have to work on the tier mecanics.

hehe, yeah. game is a bitch.
last 3 games, i hadnt had a kill.
it all evens out i guess.

yeah, game sure is fun.

some things i dont realy like:

-tier1 requirements are to high. you can have all lvl2 armor, lvl2 drive and 4 lvl 2.5 guns. bit to much for my liking.
-why so high robot ranking for style stuff like lamps and windows?? its not that they would make the robot any stronger. quite the opposite for windows, they just boost the cpu requirements and dont offer any advantage over plastic qubes.
-when other players shoot, their turrets seem to point into a random direction but not follow their aim. bad if i have to decide whos the biggest thread to me.
-just two maps

well, all problems that can be excused by the early developement stage. still fun already.
