Does anyone else feel like the most recent weapons (when used efficiently) can give an unfair advantage to a player if he recieved more of them at initial weapon selection?

I do...but i also think they are easily the coolest ones yet so it's not that i don't like them. I just feel like mike may have made a larger leap than he intended with the newbies. They are pretty beast.

Snowblower and Water Balloons are my favorites.

The new Snowball Fight and Mass Driver weapons are likely to be my favorites from the next batch of weapons. :)

I once made regular popcorn bounce once off the terrain and directly into the oponents barrel=600 points!!!

During Target Practice, I managed to shoot a Stinger, with the gun turret in the middle of the opposing tank. The damaged was immense, and I'm also a big fan of Snowblower.

Ant farm is my fav. It damages and covers your opponent in dirt!

Super Nova has to be my favourite, I got 1,200 points with it by firing it right inside the opponent's tank. :D

All of these weapons can inflict massive damage sometimes up in the 700-800 range when the turret is placed just right against the other tank:

Ant Farm, Rockslide, Star Dust, Chaos Grenade, Sunburn, Beehive and Particle Bomb.

Few other little tricks while I am here...

Shoot Fire in the Hole when the other tank is all the way on the ground towards the front of the tank for 6 X 38 points.

Shoot Hot Foot with the maximum allowable angle so it burrows down to the ground and gets the maximum split on the way up. You can get 300+ points with this method as opposed to a 120 point direct hit.

Hot potato aimed right under the barrel of the other tank can give you about 300 points.

You know, when i made this poll (the one up top) it was really hard, because you can only list 10 options for voting. So the whole thing is biased in the sense that i had to group all the weapons i thought would get the least votes. But it turns out that the "other" selection is kicking everything else's butt.

Apologies, i try.

There was so many cool weapons in this pack! Especially Mega Reaction, Stinger, Supernova, Lightning Rod, Snowblower, Fireworks and Water Balloons. But if I have to pick 2, it have to be Stinger and Water Baloons

All proximity fused weapons give you a lot of points when your turret is inside the other tank. My friend got 500 points with Porcupine once.

This thread was on at least page 15.
Congrats on having the attention span to go through 15 pages of threads.

(I also recommend thee to post a second time to avoid spam bot accusations... 'cause I'm also skeptical.)
