yeah it was so hard to save for because i get tempted to spend on other things, like you can see many things are at m2 where as i could have saved for m3. i was saving for m3 again and endup guying saft m2 recently on the weapon sale now, so now i am saving again may be months till i am ready to buy 1 item so i need to know what to get. for the rick i stayed up like 12 hours or more in one of those 999 minutes games and i won 2500 crystals and that helped alot but these days i cant stay awake in long games so i make about 50-100 crystals a day mostly from picking them up one by one lol.

I am a non buyer, it will take a long long time to save for the next upgrade so what do you think i need first paint gun or body what would you do if this is what you had what would you do next. as it is now i am getting tore up every where i go. i make maybe 50 -100 crystals a day

Hi, i have had a lot of fun playing tankionline but they are a few problems that i come across almost daily on any of the current servers. the latency most of the time is not an issue, the game is playable but there is lag in almost every game i join. the signs of lag for the most part is not visible if you don't recognize what it really is. i shoot at a tank while he is turning the animation shows he is flipped over then one second later it show's that he was not flipped at all. another instance is some one is moving from cover into my line of fire i shoot he gets hit then one second later the animations shows he never moved he just made a small movement. these things happen almost every battle for me along with amplified swaying of my dictator chassis. some noobs with smoky can spin me almost 90 degrees with one shot to my corner when i am not even in motion and the twins, i don't even what to tell you what they do to me with twins. Language barrier leads to many problem during games, for example Russian players says "if you shoot me again i am going to tell my clan mates to mess with you only for the entire game till you leave" or "move or ill flip your tank over" or "that my spot and if you don't move ill team kill you for the rest of the game" and since i don't speak Russian guess what happens to me. They say many things to me i could only guess what they are talking about and it leads to a bad game experience for me. A strange thing also ill will be camping with my shaft killing the other team and making them very upset and guess what? my own team mates start to harass me these are not things that happened once to me they happen a lot. On the positive side of things a English only server would lead to a stronger English community more teamwork in games where every one can understand each other. The latency should be lower since many of the gamers are in the UK or USA i have never seen any one from these English forum section in game before so a server would bring us together, We can form clans recruit more people to come play this game, just build a stronger English community and many of the problems would be solved. We can be directed to servers only for English like how the website directs the US or UK ip adresses to the English webpage.

i did the numbers on thunder and its a 20 damage (per sec) at m3 ricochet is a 32 damage per sec weapon at m3. they both have there advantages but thunder at m0 and m1 is just not worth it. if you are facing off 1 guy and he has rico and you have thunder if the rico guy shoots your corner, you miss one shot the reload time is huge and you just lost but if you shoot his corner and he misses a shot or 2 no big deal he still wins, he can ram your tank you damage your self on every shot he wins again. thunder is not a bad choice it has its limits not good for up close fights or at extream long range

i have been using the dictator for a long time, back in the day it was the fastest tank with high hp and rail was top dog so i started to use it when i was low rank in 2009 . isida came and was dominant for a while still there was nothing better than dictator out yet. in todays game dictator is just a low cost solution i still use it because i cant really afford any thing better at this point. these guys here are correct about the flaws of the chassi, the sway on dictator is bad much harder to climb walls with rico and alot of people keep ramming me when in close range some times they flip me. dictator is fast but there is a problem with its speed it takes longer to accelerate to max speed. i had no choice but to buy and upgrade dictator because it was the best option at the time the only reason to get dict in todays game is low cost, its not a bad buy, its just not top dog any more . pro is speed/cost/hp con is sway/big target/flip/bad climbing/bumping to advoid damage/slow acceleration/ugly

i have 1gig ram and onboard video card and tanki gives me alot of problems when in long games or map hopping i see the ram usage of the game going to 2gigs on my virtual memory and loading the game takes longer, many times it just freezes. so tanki needs alot of ram and a good video card if you want to play at higher resolutions and have good framerate.

back in 2009 rail gun was top dog but sadly not any more. if you are a poor player skip rail and just wait till you can buy isida

This is a tank prototype i made called "the Mosquito" Its sitting chrome rims, isida turret

lol yeah i was saving for it but i just bought another weapon system after i seen that screen shot. i think my rail m3 is good enough for long range. the killer on the deal with the shaft is the slow turret turn speed recharge speed between shots i don't think this gun will be winning any highland battles. i could be wrong about how it will perform but i just needed a powerful weapon system i can use on all maps because i cant afford every gun. the screen shot sealed the deal, ill just buy m0 shaft to play around with when it comes out

yet another reason i hate isida players

can some one translate what it says in the image? I wonder if its such low ranks for the testers or they just wanna make money on this gun is the reason the ranks are so low. fact is the rail gun m3 max damage is 85 and my hornet hp is only 83 but its a rare rare thing for some one to kill me with one rail hit unless drugged so not worried with m1 shaft one shotting my dictator but the m2 sure will. shaft is 19 dps at m3 just as i predicted and thunder m3 is about 20

I feel your pain, low rating is suppose to mean that you get less points for killing low lvl tanks the but the higher lvl you get there is not many people your lvl in each game so lower lvl tanks gain alot of points. the problem comes in when you are high rank and only have m2 equipment and you cant really kill enough people your own lvl or higher because most of them are paid and have all m3 gear and 12k-15k paints. not being able to get crystals at high rank has made me feel like quitting also. the only options are to drive a isida all day long healing or run and grab boxes and that's all i seem to do in tanki running and grabbing boxes all day. Another option is to play death match where points comes from total kills but like i said most those guys there have maxed out tanks but at least you can come in tenth or some thing lol.

i don't know about you guys but i feel kinda sad about this if those numbers are true. smokey m3 can do 200 damage in 14 seconds so i hope your 32000 crystal turret was worth it, ricochet m3 can do 200 in 6 sec. i hope this version don't hit live servers like 2.0 keep working on it lol, not ready yet. i was hoping for a gun that could compete with rico and freeze domination with the same amount of dps increase twins/firebird got to become ricochet/freeze. i don't think ill get shaft you can do the same amount of dps with rail in about the same time. i hope you guys are just doing this to pull our legs and this is not the correct numbers. because it dose not fit with the pattern they have been using to upgrade tier 1 weapons to tier 2. i have posted the numbers i think it will perform at around page 14 in this thread until there is official numbers we will have to wait and see.

smoky upgrade is thunder but look at smokey its 15 dps and rail is only 12 so why should shaft be 44 dps and thunder only 20?

current rail takes 7 sec to reload and 1 sec to shoot so 4.5 sec if faster. For for shots per min would mean you have to wait 15 sec for reload and shoot so i don't believe that also 200 x 4 = 800 damage per min /60 = 13 dps and m3 rail is 12 dps so again i don't believe they just up the dps by just 1 point. the cost i believe but the damage i don't because m3 rail can't 1 shot kill titan or hunter and titan's upgrade is mammoth and hunter is viking so why should rails upgrade kill them now?

Yeah did that still a temp solution because it still freezes. the larger problem is when i am ingame and randomly out of no where i am unable to damage others, i cant suicide or die period and i cant pickup any drugs or crystals its like i am disconnected from the game but still in it and others can see me only thing i can do is leave the game this has happened 3 times now since the new maps were added and is far worst than not being able to join a map that wont let me in because i cant finish the game and collect my reward.

I am and have been having this issue since the new maps came out. The game gets stuck at the loading screen just before enter the map the grey screen stays there forever and the virtual memory goes up to 1500mb. Today its happening on all maps. When i do join a map every thing will be fine then after about 20 min or so i can see people shooting at me but they cant hurt me and i cant hurt them, so i close it the game and try to renter but it gets stuck at the grey screen. If i change servers it will not let me enter what ever map is frozen. I cleared out my cache and was able to enter the map that was frozen but then the problem happens again and again and again tanki is unplayable i lost many crystals from unfinished games. i have never had this problem before in the past. i have stand alone flash player 10 and firefox they both have the same problem.

Please reply... Will shaft make rail weak?? m0 shaft will be better than m2 rail, but m2 shaft will only be slightly better than m3 rail. these stats are based off of the rail gun recharge its my guess shaft will have same recharge as rail so i came up with these numbers. shaft m0= 56-70 m1= 65-81 m2= 70-100 m3= 90-137 you need m3 to really surpass m3 railgun here is some fact. the m3 railgun is only 12 damage per second and the m3 shaft will be 20 damage per second the only unknown is the recharge time. rico and freeze are still top dogs in dps but thunder and shaft have about the same dps.

I have no info about any thing about shaft but just from the weapons already ingame i think i have a rough idea how much damage it will do if its recharge is like railgun. shaft m0= 56-70 ______800 crystals _____m1= 65-81 ______2100 _____m2= 70-100______6500 _____m3= 90-137______21000 as you can see m0 shaft is better than m2 rail, but shaft m2 is only a slightly better than m3 rail you need m3 to really surpass m3 railgun here is some fact. the m3 railgun is only 12 damage per second and the m3 shaft will be 20 damage per second the only unknown is the recharge time. rico and freeze are still top dogs in dps but thunder and shaft have about the same dps

http://tankionline.com/battle-en1.html When i load that page or any other server i am just getting a black screen, i rebooted my pc and i loaded up the game with firefox and iexplore same problem on both browsers. Every thing was working fine up until 15 min ago i waited to see if it would come up again but its still a total black screen nothing loading.
