Ok guys, I got ya. We understand that some of you were not awake during these sales. These sales are not one-time thingy, we will have them again later. Maybe next time the times will be different. And other part of players won't be awake. There is no option to have these sales when everyone is awake. That's why they are called hot sales and that's how it works.

We have not only decided to choose the best time frames but also to have these hot sales twice at different times. Hope that we met your expectations and you managed to buy something. These discounts are applied to some categories of items. Check my answer above ^ Boosting our social media profiles :-D Maybe next time we will also announce it in Discord No servers restart is needed Well, why should they be on all hulls? We have decided to have sales only on hovering hulls this Sunday.

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Although the February 14th is not marked in red on the calendar, it can safely be marked in pink - the color of love, tenderness and care. This is the day, when couples spend all their free time with each other; and those who are still just looking for their berth, decide on truly desperate steps to win their soulmate. You can find a mate in "Tanki"! After all, to spend your time in the game with twice as much fun, when the fearless cavalier rushes into the base of the opponents, and after him, like a stone wall, runs a fragile, but a tough lady. In honor of this romantic fest, we launch the traditional "Tanki Couples" contest! So, first thing first: Your task is to make a full-screen in-game screenshot with your significant other. The nicknames of both participants of the couple must be clearly visible in the screenshot. Both contestants' tanks must have the Valentine's Day paint equipped. The finished screenshot must be uploaded to any photo hosting website (e.g. imgur.com), and the link must be sent to the special form. IMPORTANT! A player can only be in one pair, and only one screenshot will be accepted from each pair. If there is a nickname in a pair of a tanker who has already participated in the contest earlier, with another pair, this nickname will not be counted in the second pair. Prizes: All tankers who correctly fulfill the conditions of the contest will receive 140 stars, which will allow you to pass 2 levels of the challenge at once! We will also randomly choose a few lucky contestants and their mates from among all participants, who will receive one of the following prizes: «Love camo» Animated Paint 500 tankoins «Sun» Isida shot effect «Pink» Firebird shot effect «Purple» Striker shot effect 14 ultra-containers 14 containers 14 coinboxes 4 days of premium subscription 14 gold boxes 14 000 crystals Dates Screenshots are accepted until 02:00 UTC on February 17.

Hello, tankers! There is nothing better than news about discounts, don't you agree? Because of past positive feedback, we decided to bring back hot discounts into the game. Those of you who have been in Tanki for a long time probably remember 2014 and some of your best buys. Smoky and Twins were on sale at 70% off then! For those who joined us later, we will tell you what it is. What are Hot Sales? Hot sales are large, limited-time discounts of varying degrees that appear in the game unexpectedly. They allow you to buy a certain item (or several at once) in the Garage or Shop at a very affordable price. These discounts may be timed to coincide with holidays or may appear in the middle of the week to benefit most active and attentive tankers! How to get it? We will not announce these discounts in advance, but to make sure you don't miss them, we will announce them in our social networks: Instagram and Facebook. If you want to catch all the hot sales as soon as they appear, then subscribe to our social networks and be sure to turn on the notifications! Spoiler alert! As a gesture of kindness, we’re giving you a warning in advance: the first hot discounts will appear in the game as early as this weekend! They'll only be available for 1 hour, so be sure to turn on your social media notifications! Let us know if you liked the return of hot sales (and similar news) in the comments below as your feedback contributes to the creation and continuation of these exciting limited-time events!

Patch Update #636 - Released 5th February 2021 When searching for a battle, the range of ranks for a group of players can only go up, and cannot go down. Changed the number of players on the following maps: Aleksandrovsk: 16 → 20; Archipelago: 12 → 16; Barda: 16 → 20; Bridges: 12 → 16; Chernobyl: 24 → 20; Desert: 24 → 20; Future: 16 → 20; Iran: 20 → 16; Osa 24 → 20; Red Alert: 16 → 12; Silence: 20 → 16; Stadium: 24 → 20; Wolfenstein: 24 → 20. Now, the Defender drone gives a 20 seconds bonus effect instead of 30. Isida now deals 15% more damage on all modifications: Mk1: 500 → 575 (hp); Mk2: 573,53 → 659,56 (hp); Mk3: 632,35 → 727,20 (hp); Mk4: 705,88 → 811,76 (hp); Mk5: 750 → 862,5 (hp); Mk6: 808,82 → 930,14 (hp); Mk7: 882,35 → 1014,70 (hp); Mk7+: 1 000 → 1150 (hp). Now, Hammer reloads the magazine 2 seconds faster on all modifications: Mk1: 6 → 4 (s); Mk2: 5,82 → 3,82 (s); Mk3: 5,74 → 3,74 (s); Mk4: 5,62 → 3,62 (s); Mk5: 5,471 → 3,471 (s); Mk6: 5,352 → 3,352 (s); Mk7: 5,235 → 3,235 (s); Mk7+: 5 → 3 (s). Striker now reloads faster. From 2.5 to 1.8 seconds to the current 2.2 to 1.7 seconds. Mk1: 2,5 → 2,2 (s); Mk2: 2,356 → 2,097 (s); Mk3: 2,294 → 2,053 (s); Mk4: 2,191 → 1,979 (s); Mk5: 2,129 → 1,935 (s); Mk6: 2,047 → 1,876 (s); Mk7: 1,965 → 1,818 (s); Mk7+: 1,8 → 1,7 (s). Now, Hopper accelerates 2 m/s slower and no longer receives an overdrive charge for useful combat actions within 10 seconds of applying the overdrive. Ares gets points for destroying opponents with its overdrive. Hammer’s “Duplet” augment takes 50% longer to reload the magazine relative to the new magazine reload time. Hammer’s “Armor-Piercing Shot” augment no longer gives an acceleration boost of the magazine reload. Smoky's "Rubberized Rounds" augment allows the projectiles to bounce off walls, twice. Initial velocity of Striker missiles increased by 5 m/s for all modifications. The bug due to which items were not equipped in the garage is now fixed. The bug due to which augments were not visible in the augments menu is also fixed. The bug due to which it was impossible to add a newly entered friend to the group is fixed. Ability to switch the game interface language in the settings is added. Missing ability to scale flag icons in the drop-down box in clans is fixed. Containers have a sound effect, just like in the mobile version of the game. Now, in containers, augments are displayed with an image of the turret they are for. Paints from past challenges are added to containers. Ability to ignore the players in the chat via the context menu is added. Now getting stunned results in inability to turn on supplies for the whole duration of this status

Hello, tankers! «Tanki» starts with a website. The website meets the players first. It tells newcomers about the game, keeps them informed about the game and is a gateway to the “Tanki Online” world. The game rapidly evolved over the past year. We are trying to keep up with the times, and an important part of that is the game's website. Today we are glad to tell you that we are finally ready to launch the new Tanki Online website! We will start updating the site tomorrow. The update may take a few days, but hopefully we will finish sooner; the site itself will not be up and running during that time. This is what you can find on the new website: Adapted for mobile players The smartphone has long been an integral part of our lives. It is important that the website works equally well on a variety of devices. Now, the main page is perfectly adapted for mobile devices. Reading the news and watching V-LOGs will become a much more convenient experience! Tags search Do you need to find a certain topic? Just type in a keyword, date, title, headline, text phrase or category and you will see all the content you want. You can also choose the order of sorting: new or old first. Returning to the top Sometimes, you read a website and suddenly notice that you have scrolled down a few meters. How do you get back up quickly? Just click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the website, and you will be back to the top of the page. This trick is commonly used on modern websites, and now we have it too. News labels Searching for news, but don't know the tag? Opening everything in a row is not an option. Now each type of news (after updating the site) will have its own label. It looks stylish, easy to recognize and convenient to use. YouTubе The Tanki V-LOG comes out every Friday at 13:00 UTC. Do you want to watch it on time, but always forget? And that problem is now resolved as well. Click the YouTube button at the top of the website, and you will get the latest V-LOG and a handy list of all the previous releases as well. A notification icon on the YouTube button will tell you, when there is a new V-LOG for you to watch. News TOP-List The latest game events, news and activities - all in a prominent place! In the "Home" tab, you will find a list of the latest news, so it is even easier to follow the life of the project. Featuring special offers Special offers - are an interesting thing. They don’t offer you unique in-game items only, but also permit you to make great spares - to get more for less. But the thing is that special offers are usually time-bound. A way to NOT MISS the special offers. Now you can find out about current offers directly from the game's website! It especially benefits players, who want to find out the price of the special offers but are not able to enter the game. Technical support Now it is possible to contact the project support team directly from the game website. If you have any questions, just click on the support button and you will be immediately redirected to your email's inbox. In general, how cool is that? We hope you are pleased with the new website and find it interesting! We are waiting for your feedback!

Details: Event: February 2021 Challenge Part I Starts: Monday, February 1st at 02:00 UTC Ends: Tuesday, February 16th at 02:00 UTC Duration: 15 days Tankers! The new Challenge starts tomorrow (Monday, Feb 1st). We remind you that we have implemented some changes to our Challenge activities. Stars In order to let you complete challenges more easily (not faster, that’s important), we have added stars to daily, weekly, and special missions. So, why is this better? If you complete all the daily and weekly missions you receive during a challenge, you automatically complete the challenge. But what if I miss some missions? In this case, you still can earn stars in matchmaking battles. Also, don’t forget that special missions will also have stars in prizes! These will let you complete 3-4 stages of any challenge. Have you replaced current mission prizes with stars? No, no, and no. We haven’t replaced the prizes which you receive from missions with stars. We have simply added stars to these prizes. You do not need to spend a lot of time during weekends now, just complete daily missions every day and weekly missions every week. We will keep an eye on your reviews and maybe some other changes will be implemented later to make challenges even better. Prizes In addition to the Crystals, Supplies, Batteries and other goodies that you've come to expect, this month's Challenge features the following special rewards: Electrohive There is also a new regular paint to snatch up: Vector And of course, don't forget the grand prizes in the final stage: 100 Tankoins (Silver Tier) and a Skin container (Gold Tier — requires Battle Pass). How to complete the challenge faster You can always snatch a Stars Bundle from the Shop and give yourself a nice boost. Don’t let those cool top tier rewards slip through your fingers! And with Premium Pass you will receive twice more stars for each battle! And as requested, we have returned the Premium Pass + Battle Pass bundle which will be available in the Showcase within 5 days after the start of the challenge. So, log into the game on Monday (February 1st) and start collecting those Stars!

In today’s episode, we will be showing new augments for Smoky. We’ll also be launching an Ultra Weekend and preparing the new website.

Hello, tankers! We've got our eyes on the new stage of Tanki's evolution. Some time ago, we told you that the game will get a new look. Well, today, it’s time to update the look of one more item! Please welcome Smoky HD! The upgraded skin Smoky HD will not only give to your tank an innovative design but also add magnificent special effects to your turret: barrel rollback, after shot smoke, a flying projectile, a new shot effect, and the release of casings. All this looks very spectacular alongside the Viking's Overdrive or the “Autocannon” augment for Smoky, which greatly increases the firing rate. If you're wondering how to get the new skin, well, we have good news. You don’t need to buy Smoky HD. Actually, you won't need to do anything to get it. On January 29th, we will simply replace the current default Smoky’s skin with the new HD one. Default skins were needing an update for a long time and that's why we decided to make HD skins. New augments The remastered skin is cool, but we also paid attention to how the turret works and have brought a surprise new release. In addition to remastering Smoky skin, it will also get projectiles like Gauss, Thunder and Vulcan have and we are also changing some of its augments and adding a few new ones. Let's take a look at our hot new additions: «Paralyzing Rounds» — critical hits will deal decreased damage but will immobilize the target. «EMP Rounds» — critical hits will deal decreased damage but will disable the target's activated supplies. «Rubberized Rounds» — adding ricocheting shells that may hit enemies and even deal critical damage after ricocheting. However, the maximum number of ricochets is limited and shell speed is decreased. «Explosive Rounds» — such rounds can hit multiple targets at once with splash damage, but the damage radius is not that large due to the turret's small caliber. Cumulative shots are not changed and deal critical damage only to one target. «Sorted Ammunition» — guarantees that every fourth shot will deal critical damage. For now, these new augments can only be obtained from Ultra Containers, so that’s why the upcoming Ultra Weekend will be most welcome. Read about the changes of Smoky’s characteristics and its augments here. Enter the game after servers restart on Friday (January 28th) and check out the glow up of Smoky!

Hello, tankers! We start this year productively — new augments, events, remasterting Smoky and Hornet. Even more interesting stuff is coming with this update! Intrigued? Let’s check the details! New currency Yes, that’s it! With the server restart on January 29th, a new currency will appear in the game — «Shards»! Its main feature is that it is free. You can get shards almost effortlessly. How? Let's find out. Roughly speaking, «Shards» are parts of containers. Once you have collected the required number of shards, you can exchange them for a container. Ways of collecting shards: Completing daily missions — 30 / 50 / 70 Shards (depends on how difficult a mission is) in addition to other rewards. Ads. You can watch ads only on the mobile version of the game and only once per 7 minutes. You can reset the timer by finishing a matchmaking battle. Get a free shard once every 800 seconds. To start getting free shards, a player needs to enter the game; Once you have 100 shards, you won’t be able to redeem any more for free; To maximize the benefits, immediately exchange shards for a container and enter the game every day. Exchanging shards for containers: You can exchange 100 shards for 1 container. To do so, you need to click on the icon to the right of the shards progress bar. The shards progress bar under the container icon shows your progress in collecting shards. When you can exchange shards for a container, a red dot indicator badge appears on the container icon and on the containers section’s icon so you can redeem your shards as quickly as possible. You may collect as many shards as you want. Each 100 shards can be exchanged for a container. Example: If you have collected 200 shards, you can exchange them for 2 containers, 300 shards – 3 containers, and so on. For now, the aforementioned methods are the only ways you can obtain shards. Later, we may add more ways of getting the new currency. Keep an eye on announcements. Matchmaking Last year, we implemented 2 experiments in Matchmaking and have received a lot of feedback from you as well as suggestions to improve the changes. Thanks for not remaining indifferent and sharing your feedback. We have done a lot of work analyzing your opinions and decided to make the following changes which will make the game more comfortable and dynamic. Changes: Maps size and number of players depend on players’ ranks. The higher players' ranks are, the more players there are in battles and the larger maps are. Now, the number of players in an MM battle depends on the size of the map. Now, the list of available maps depends on the number of players in an MM group. The higher your rank is, the more players you may invite. The maximum number of players in a group is 4 (including a group leader). Rename your account The long-awaited feature of renaming your account will finally appear in the desktop and mobile versions of the game. We have made the process much easier. Now, you can change your nickname right in the «Account» section of the settings. The price of changing your nickname remains the same — 2000 tankoins. Please Note: After the server restart on January 29th, the Rename Pass item will disappear from the game. You will receive a compensation of 2000 tankoins for each pass you own prior to the restart. Crusader Sounds We got some feedback from you about Crusader sounds needing some fixes. With this release, we are removing excessive whistle sound, so it will be much more comfortable to play on Crusader with sounds enabled. Miscellaneous Changes This Friday, we will also make some changes to the layout and texts of the Garage, challenge screen, battles list, and PRO battle results screen. Fixed the bug with inviting friends to an «unavailable» PRO battle. Fixed the bug with battles list disappearing after using search feature; Improvements of equipping items by double click; Added a clan members section to the friends screen; Copied the «Victory», «Defeat» and «Draw» screens from the mobile version to the desktop one. You may check the full list of changes here. We have done a lot of work, so we would appreciate your feedback about these recent changes in the comments.

An end battle screen before progressing the statistics screen is displayed. From the battle statistics screen, the option to view the player's clan in the context menu, which caused an error, is removed.

Now Matchmaking generates battles with a different number of players, depending upon the size of the map; Now the size of maps in matchmaking and the number of players in them depend on the player's rank; The number of players in a group now depends on the rank of the players. The maximum number of players in a group is 4 (including a group leader). The number of players in the group now affects the available maps; An “up” arrow is displayed in the garage for items that have an upgrade available; Now a timer for temporary discounts is displayed in the garage; When invited to a PRO-battle, you will get a notification to say whether the battle is available at your rank or not; In the list of battles, the entered text is saved in the battle name field if you return from the battle lobby or from the garage.

Hello, tankers! At the end of December, we not only summed up the eSports results of last year, but also announced important changes in the system of tournaments and conducted a survey about these changes among players who are active in the eSports scene. This year, we aim to make eSports more accessible and interesting for everyone. In 2021, we will have four clan tournaments, each of them will be held according to new rules and the same scheme. So, before we go on to announce the first clan tournament of 2021, let us get acquainted with the changes. These new tournaments will be played in three stages. The first stage of the tournament are the qualifying tournaments, in which 16 or 32 teams can participate depending on the number of registrations. Each qualification tournament lasts 4-5 days and follows the Olympic system: teams are divided into pairs and the winner of each pair goes on and plays against the winner of the other pair. Qualification finalists get an invitation to participate in the group stage of the main tournament. Those who fail to qualify have the choice to sign up for the next qualification and try again. It’s still possible to qualify for the main tournament without winning on the first try: If your team does not win the first qualification, your team can register for a new qualification tournament regardless of previous participation in qualifiers or your team’s date of registration. Qualifiers will be held until 8 teams receive an invitation to the group stage. When all the qualifiers are chosen, there will be 28 battles among the 8 strongest teams in the group stage, each of them will be broadcasted live on our eSports channel. These broadcasts will not only show you which 4 teams will make it to the final stage of the tournament, but also teach you some tricks from experienced players, as well as give you a chance to take part in the giveaways! During the final stage of the tournament (playoffs), the four strongest teams will fight for the championship title: Six matches will determine which of them will receive the grand prize of the tournament and be crowned the winner. Today we announce the first Major tournament, which is held under the new rules TankiSport 2021: Season I Tournament matches will be held in three formats: Light - for fans of Railgun and Smoky; Medium - for those who do not want to limit themselves in equipment, but don't like to play with supplies; Setups - for those who like to play with supplies. We expect to see both Railgun and Hard format players in the lineup, which means it will be even more interesting to follow the tournament! The first qualifiers will start on Monday, January 25, and registration will open on Saturday, January 23, at 15:00 UTC. The final stage of the tournament (playoffs), during which the main competition for the prize paint - "Impulse" - will take place sometime later, around the middle of March. Go to the eSports portal, assemble a team, read the rules, and get ready to register and participate in qualifying tournaments! And for the most interested viewers, we will prepare a special website just for you by the end of the tournament, where you can cheer and vote for your favorite teams in the finals. In addition, there will be other interesting activities waiting for you on the website. See you on the battlefields or eSports broadcasts!

Details: Event: January 2021 Challenge Part II Starts: Saturday, January 16th at 02:00 UTC Ends: Monday, February 1st at 02:00 UTC Duration: 16 days Tankers! The new Challenge starts tomorrow (Saturday, Jan 16th). We remind you that we have implemented some changes to our Challenge activities. Stars In order to let you complete challenges more easily (not faster, that’s important), we have added stars to daily, weekly, and special missions. So, why is this better? If you complete all the daily and weekly missions you receive during a challenge, you automatically complete the challenge. But what if I miss some missions? In this case, you still can earn stars in matchmaking battles. Also, don’t forget that special missions will also have stars in prizes! These will let you complete 3-4 stages of any challenge. Have you replaced current mission prizes with stars? No, no, and no. We haven’t replaced the prizes which you receive from missions with stars. We have simply added stars to these prizes. You do not need to spend a lot of time during weekends now, just complete daily missions every day and weekly missions every week. We will keep an eye on your reviews and maybe some other changes will be implemented later to make challenges even better. Prizes In addition to the Crystals, Supplies, Batteries and other goodies that you've come to expect, this month's Challenge features the following special rewards: Alien Skin There is also a new regular paint to snatch up: Gamepad And of course, don't forget the grand prizes in the final stage: 100 Tankoins (Silver Tier) and a Skin container (Gold Tier — requires Battle Pass). How to complete the challenge faster You can always snatch a Stars Bundle from the Shop and give yourself a nice boost. Don’t let those cool top tier rewards slip through your fingers! And with Premium Pass you will receive twice more stars for each battle! And as requested, we have returned the Premium Pass + Battle Pass bundle which will be available in the Showcase within 5 days after the start of the challenge. So, log into the game on Saturday (January 16th) and start collecting those Stars!
