A tip... know the followings: - when to shoot - who to shoot

THE best advise for rail gunners!!And as for me I use my m3 with a hornet m3. On big maps the main rivals are the smokeys.. beware! Isn't it because you get killed a lot by them??Why do you think TO even bothered to make the 'Mosquito Battles'before the RB??Its one of the best 'annoying guns' ever!!

On several occasions yesterday and today I'd encountered these problems: - lagging ( normal.. just 'refresh' and it'll be back, unfortunately on 1 occasion it went to the battle page, the sad thing is I was leading the game and was about to end. :unsure: - invisible players (old problem, but cannot be overcomed with 'refresh' .. tried 5 times of refreshing) :wacko: - unable to pick up dropped crystals or drugs (also tried refreshing several times.. no change) :( - able to shoot other tanks but not doing any damage to it, but able to sustain damage when being shot by other tanks. :blink: If this post belong to the Complaint or the Feedback section, could the MOD please convey it.. I'm not asking for any refund crystals as I had not made any screen shot or movie of it. Thanks. :)

Well I'm don't mind being killed by 1 shot shaft gunners when using hornet, but what I do mind is the 'jumping off the cliff' when they are about to die. I found that almost 90% of shaft gunners do this.. bad playing ethics.

agreed..twins- just put some weight on the spacebar , point the turret and move on small maps.. large maps - easy kill for a railthunder- on long range reduced killing effect suitable for medium maps isida- require fast hull not suitable for open areas agree on small and medium maps with a big number of players only

probably TO realised a war criminal at large playing tanki?

Immediately after RB, players were talking about how strong the thunders were, a bit later the Smokey with the Critical shot. Then the Twins.. dominating the battlefield, then the Firebird killing tanks with 'after-effect'.. For the players who haven't played (or unable to) at M3 levels, I wish to inform you that EVERY GUN IS STRONG!! Any gun IS capable of killing any other guns on equal level. For example, Isida and Wasp in good hands can be in top 3 winner in a game of Mammoths. The protection (paint), hull, your style of play and most important of all....SKILL!! There is a article by MadDog21 titled 'There are no 'best combinations' , read and understand it. p.s. a few tips .. knowing WHEN to shoot, WHO to shoot, WHAT to use, WHAT is used by majority players in the battlefield

I'd tried numerous times freezing a drugged mammoth with twins(m3 all) and got killed in the first attempt, but managed to kill it after the respawn and yes the mammoth barely moved. My conclusion is that it is balance.

I'll bet you played in a small or medium map (the 5 vs 5) battle. On large maps freeze or firebird wouldn't survive. Agreed 110%

agreed 110%. 'Unintentional' self destruct meaning you killed yourself while killing your enemy because they are too close to you is normal. 'Intentional' self destruct be it thunder or rico gunners is considered unethical and the the worst of them all is jumping off the cliff after you shot other tanks and seeing them coming for you.I considered the later as a coward player in real life. <_<Btw, I've been using thunder for a year before the RB and I'm happy with my rank as I am not a Buyer.., I EARN my rank and will continue to do so. A point to consider, if an enemy is always self destructing, then his opponent will tend to play a drugging game(especially Rail and shaft gunners) to make it a 1 shot 1 kill situation, thus making the whole game uninteresting / costly. :rolleyes:

it could probably be because of of China being the best location to solve the lag problem is it is closer to Australia, EU, India , Mid East,South East Asia,Japan, Africa and so on... And it certainly is closer from US to China if compared to Russia to China.TO probably have done their research on where the most TO players are and the cost issues. But again.. its just my assumption... have a nice day!! :)

After a long Server Update today, I was able to play on my favourite map ..Polygon without spinning tanks. I suspected something was being done on the servers as I was able to play 2 games of 200 kills and 1 of 180 kills with zero spinning tanks..just slight 'delays'.. :D THANK YOU! ;)

I agree with everyone's opinion who experience these lags and it has worsen since RB.Eversince RB until now, I wonder how will the game be after the new year sale as I have not spend any of the refunded crystals yet and planned to do so at the sales. I assume, after the sale a lot more guys will be back seriously into the game. I assume, the lags will even worsen.., but it's yet to be seen.. :unsure: Again, I assume, TO Devs are not as stupid as I am,( btw, the name dungu means noob in my language, just as long as you don't space-out the last letter of my name or else it'll mean something else in english!) they already made plans to increase the hp of the servers. That leaves just 1 question.. When? Note: The Sale will be within 24 hrs.! (Or will there be another 'Disappointment Surprise'??) Just a point to ponder, why don't TO ask for feedback thru' Pool Questions on where the lags occur mostly, e.g. Southwestern US, Australia, Southeast Asia, MIdeast..so on. Just by making the Pool, players know that TO IS trying to overcome the problem, thus regaining trust from the players..even though if the Poll is useless..(asking players what kind of music do they hear when playing is useless since TO have bigger problems to overcome).Unless TO have other plans......... :ph34r: Anyway, to everyone who read my comments, have a nice holiday and Happy New Year!! :D

I was just trying to get TO's attention, felt so sorry if YOU feel 'mentally challenged'. Have a nice Christmas! ;)

Btw, it took you just over 2 years of playing, you started 19th Nov. 2010.... just a minor correction... ;)

sorry if I offended you ! But you are not reading 'between the lines'. Refer to my comments in other forums titled 'Rebalance Discussions. Keep them in here.Avoid making new threads' by koolwalky comment # 165 and 195.. I am quite sure it will satisfy you...

correct me if i'm wrong...this rebalance issue... a person start playing tanki today... tomorrow he can be a generallisimo.. provided he BUYS.. xperience.. so theres nothing about gaining xperience by putting hours in the game.. In fact it started. when xperience can be bought with crystal..butonly up to a certain rank... Now, on Generallisimo doesn't have to buy xperiece.. of course they don't... In other words, it's just MONEY...
