You might think this is just sour grapes, but it isn't. I have the money for isda. Just don't want it. BUT. There are now games I will leave if there are too many isda guns in the game.
You can't kill them so there is no point playing. Even worse get an isda with full powerups (tanki drugs

and it takes four or more tanks to kill it.

Eventually its just going to be full of isda guns. I'll have left way before then. And so will my money.
Its not fun anymore

John,

pretty much everyone found a successful way of dealing with isida. It's been powered down quite a bit and right now I feel like it does not break the balance as much. It is simply a powerful gun on par with railgun, with extremely short range and a perk of being able to heal teammates itself when attacking. In the future, there will be more guns at this power level, but I personally (and from what I know, most others) feel like it is manageable at this point.

p.s. any weapon on 'drugs' takes quite a bit to kill, although I agree that the quadruple advantage in healing power that isida gets is a little off. In fact, I've been trying to push the idea of making the self- and team-healing effects immune to double power, but Alternativa had their own opinion on these matters.

If you remember in the other post, for joke of course, i recommended giving isida player an option of pressing a key to kill everyone instantly! and like "monty" though i can afford buying isida, i will never do, because it bothers others too. Most annoying thing is that, when they wanna kill you they get healed while shooting you. that's tooooooo bothering thing. maybe the healing and shooting abilities should be seperated like before. anyway only those having isida (maybe like you!) love the gun, others don't!!!

yeah they run away or get killed.

A wasp with smoky has a chance against Dictator with digital and railgun.
Nothing has a chance against isda.

All other tanks can try to re attack a tank they attacked after spawning, with isda its pointless. Just like mehrdad said it heals itself between your gun powering up, never mind a spawn.

Against isida is a fire!!!

Due to the list above, an isida tank kill a fire tank, and also remain 20% of his health!!!!
Anyway you make me think of our "famous clown", saying the rate of inflation is "0.1%" while being "30%" !!!

Down with isida!

You forgot to mention just one thing: price.

adds 50% of enemy health

So the damn thing is healing itself when killing

God knows what they will come up with to be a better gun.
reduce its killing power or its self healing power.

It is not even fun playing like this. Two isida players in the enemy side means YOU LOOOOOSE. and they won't die even once in the whole battle.
Many thanks to the game creators but, i always quit battles with isida guns in it. I swear on allah, once i shot one of them 30 times, i swear, and i finally died and lost a lot of my drugs on him. NOT FAIR

i think the gun is good its like the flame 1 but better / the heal is just to much i think they should keep the dmg but +25% hp if it kills a tank / or maybe a boost in speed if it kills a tank?

We need the balance between weapons, isdal makes the tank game full of ghost and vampire. Especially the top level isdal have too much advantage. I don't like that, the developer sholud think about it seriously and ask more advices from players.

The game in beta would mean any logical changes are about to occur in the game. Of course nothing can be more obvius than the fact that isida is just too much of advantages all in one place. All right then, if you think there should be a gun like this, do give us a chance of defending ourselves. Maybe there should be a new tank colour, protecting us from 50% of the isida damage.
Anyway, today i managed to kill one of them with my beloved smoky. I pressed 2 and 3, after seconds pressed 1, and hopefully with 10% of my second health, i managed to kill the bastard.

Hi guys!
I have an Isida m3 gun and I must say that it is very far from being overpowered now, especially if it is not on power-ups.
Everything that you should do is stay away from Isida. If you are good enough in steering and moving backwards - you can easily kill it in 2-3 railgun shots.
So I prefer railgun. I take Isida only when I have a slow-slow-slow framerate and it's impossible to aim.

hi

2-3 shots
Thats fine that people can handle.

BUT find an isda user not drugged up to the eyeballs.
Then how many?
