Nah I don't have a slow PC. On the contrary, my PC is quite fast being a quad core. Could be the aussie connection. As a matter of fact, Aussies suck compared to the rest of the world when it comes to Internet Service Providers.

How would I go about creating a model? Just draw one up in MS Paint and cite tank abilities/costs?
Or do you require a proper one with existing models and a particular file format?

I am on an Air Ship diet for this month and I am trying to use it as best as I can. It does well with 999/1050 ranged weapons but really just sucks when a goblin tank buys web and you can't do anything about it. Helicopter gets away with it so easy. I know the bees aren't weak kHeg... I said they were quite useless because you have to melee with them. It's more of a protective thing to scare opponents away than attacking. I often use them when I am capturing bases but it doesn't work as well. I think that ability needs to be reworked. First of all, it shouldn't have to disappear after being killed. I reckon it should remain on the field until the timer runs out and then die. Second, it should remain within the range it was casted instead of following the Air ship around. Once it is finished, it will go back to the Air ship.

Also, nobody goes Air Tank anymore on our server because nobody is actually good at it. It always gets raped. You can give it a try here and you're guaranteed to lose. It's fair enough that you have movement advantage but it means nothing when there are teleporters, netters and stunners around.

Actually if the shocker had around a 0.5~1 sec stun, that would make a huge difference!

I d like to give a try

Plz explain me how to join you ^^

the other tanks you don't need weapon, and you can still kill with pure skills, most people save up for good weapon and start off with no weapons

but using air tank, you can't really do that, using any of the skills will not get you any kill, nor help you creep until you get a good weapon.

and when you do save up for a good weapon, other people are already way ahead of the game with more powerful weapons and more HP than you.

air ship 4500 + teleport 3000 + decent weapon average 5000 ~ 6000 = you are at least level 10 by now, anyone at lvl 10 would already have much better stuff than you have specially the long range noobs, at this time they will have at least 4 to 5 range 1300 weapons stacked with a steel hull if not gold if they are richer.

... not really feasible.

at that price tag i still prefer the lighting tank combo better, cheaper, more kills, better creeping, and it does a much better job at stun + teleport + melee specially with poison or anything short range of your linking
LT 4000 + 3000 TP + 5000~6000 weapon

Your forget that mobility of airship make you able to dodge skill, dodge weapon, easy cover allied tank, easy cp , ability to switch lane easily without using telep.
