Has the Gepard always been light in the arse? Or did it get nerfed in an update or something. I scooped my first one up recently. And little dude cant take much fore he's pushin daisies. But from what ive read in the forum, he was a War Robots shining star at some point.

One of the recent updates changed all bots to have same % HP progression with upgrades. Previously, level 1 Gep was much closer to level 12 Gep in HP.

Also the aphid accuracy nerf hurt Geps. And the new MM hurts Geps.
Before the change Stalkers and Gareths had a MM penalty which didn't apply to Gepards. This made Geps the most powerful light bot in the old bronze and silver tiers.

Gepards still have three light weapon mounts. That's nothing to sneeze at. Their bonuse loses its shine has other bots start to reach their max speeds and faster lights are unlocked.
Who needs a Light with three light weapons when you can run a Galahad that only moves 8km/h slower?

The Gepard was probably the best bronze tier and silver tier robot for over a year under the old matchmaking system. The matchmaking change that came with the implementation of the league system and several direct and indirect nerfs have made it mostly useless at this point. The gareth currently outshines the Gepard in almost every way. After the silent aphid trajectory change (buff) some players used level 12 Gepards with 3 aphids as a fast close range support robot - alternate to the slower but higher damage quad aphid Patton. Since aphids were nerfed this build is rarely used anymore. Gepards are currently outmatched by the Brit bots and American bots - as is the Rogatka. Both the Gepard and the Rogatka were a ton of fun to play about a year ago - but at this time they are rarely used.

I guess geps got hit a bit too much, as stated from several directions.
Atm, since there is no MM factor involved and that is the only bot without ability from the premium trio (Gep/Gary/Stalker) the incentive for having and using one is generally lost.
That said, I still used (and maybe will do that again) due to Aphid compatibility.
One Thing that should be imo buffed though is the speed - that thing ought to be faster than the other 2 to compensate for low HP and lack of ability.

Buffing gep speed up to say 62 or 64kph at level 9+ would help improve their viability without being over the top. Just puts them jn line with the gareth and jesse. Why not give them some actual progression in speed as they level like every other bot? |
