I think its fair. From the beginning I played in battles with tanks higher rank than mine, and managed tgo win quite a few games by some good play. Only ever had a Smokey. Wouldn't have ever won in such battles without the different point system.

I've just came back online for a play after a while away, and played a game in which there were two hackers (or wa*kers as I call them). One was stealing flags, the other was inside a building and couldn't be shot. It wrecked the game. I've paid a bit of money into this game (including for my boy), and hence have an expectation that this can't happen. Else there's no point in this game anymore. Koolwalky, I've seen a number of your posts, and you seem a decent bloke. Can't you see the frustration all over the boards?? There is an obligation on part of the Tanki 'company' to fix this. Or loose business. Simple.
