Unfortunately im not popular :( well it's not really a huge achievement to get third lieutenant,some low rankers think geting third lieutenant is a high one but believe me if you ever reach my rank you'll know it's not so huge for me a huge achievement would be major to marshal here's a picture if you need the ranks!!!! And welcome to the game i would help better if i knew what rank you are tho I'm warrant officer 2, but thanks for the welcome anyways :P

I like it, as long as they aren't too overpowered, and the special abilities for tier two hulls are not too much better then the tier 1 hulls.

The server restarts aren't bad at all. They are scheduled, and you can find out when it will be through a simple check of the graph on the home page of tanki. Or, like me, you can notice the pattern of repetitive server restarts at the exact time of the day every day, and plan accordingly. Remember it's a free game, and even a 30 restart isn't too bad...surely people have other stuff to do besides play tanki? :wink:

So..uh...I'm relatively new to all this, so I don't know what is going on. Is it a big achievement to get to Third Lieutenant or something? I'm still a long way off. Or is this guy just extremely popular? XD

Actually, if almost everybody had the same upgrade of weapon, it would be more fun. Not as fun for payers (perhaps you, nico?) who buy themselves wins, but much better for the overall community. Of course, the devs might not imply this, since it would cost them a lot of money. The current system isn't so bad as to change it yet, IMO. However, I think greater rewards should be implemented for people that do not get first place, especially for lower levels. As to the drugging problem, I agree something should be done. But I have no idea on a proper solution, so I'm going to keep my mouth shut on that matter.

I think he's asking about what is the best cpu to play tanki on.

Okay then. How about this: give NO weapon stats. Figure everything out yourself, experience will tell that railgun does alot of damage but at low rates, freeze slows enemies down but has a limited range, and ricochet bounces. Experience will tell you that the range limit of railgun is infinity, twins has a very high rate of fire, and Isida can heal. ^Sarcasm obviously. But could anyone please tell me why we havn't been given the angle information. If it were the same for all weapons, that would be ok, but varying angles can change how each weapon is played. I've noticed that the angles tend to be smaller with longer barrelled weapons while larger with shorter barrelled weapons (exception is ricochet). Is this intentional?

Thanks for the reply koolwalky, and awesomeblake, I have some of those glitches too :/ 1,2,4) Are these being worked on? You they are old glitches, and if so, why havn't they been fixed yet? 3) I hate changing layouts, but I guess I'll have to. I'm using E&Q for zoom in/out at the moment, I do this crazy hand trick :P So the merging of tanks together is bad internet? Damn, I have terrible internet. I also know that in a cowboy standoff with someone with railgun m3 like me, I ALWAYS LOSE. Half the time it even shows that I shot first....and I still lose. Goddamn Australian internet :( Koolwalky: ever go on the CC anymore?

It is to my understanding that the general forum is also the bugs forum. If not, please move this to the bugs section. I'd like to ask about four bugs, all of which have probably been mentioned before. 1. Sometimes, the chat does not disappear from the screen, even though I am in game. 2. Sometimes, the loading screen (the one with the loading shells) does not disappear from the screen when in game, and sometimes it just randomly appears. 3. Space + forward + left does not work properly. 4. As I am typing this, a polygon game has been frozen. The time limit is up, and I am 13 kills away from victory. However, nobody can spawn, and the timer at the bottom shows 0-1:0-23 http://i.imgur.com/EroR5.jpg - Almost all of the former players left. I don't want to leave, I want my crystal reward, to which I had been working to for an hour. Can anybody explain what is going on?

I never said the numbers should or should not be there. I am merely pointing out the fact that the ranges are there, yet the angles are not, and the angles are just as important. If putting the angles in the garage creates too much clutter, the devs could always put it in the forum, or make a change in the setting that says "show more weapon stats" or similar.

I'm sorry, but experience doesn't cut it. Tanki might as well not tell us the weapon ranges of twins, isida, firebird, freeze and rico, and tell us to leave it to experience. It might as well not tell us the weapon shot rate and tell us to leave it to experience. The angle at which a weapon can shoot is crucial in this game, since there are so many platforms, even more so than, say, the turret speed. I think that something in the weapon description that will tell me to how many degrees up/down that weapon can shoot is crucial to the weapon description.

This is a topic I've been thinking about, and not at all a duplicate of this thread: http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/76677.page I'm wondering, how can we tell (besides trial and error) whether the opponent tank is hittable with your current weapon? Is there a vertical angle spread of fire, and what is it? I am almost sure different guns also have different vertical angle spread of fire, since I have had many moments where my railgun can not hit an opponent, yet their twins can. What is difference in these angles? And lastly, is there a big difference in the angle if firing from above, or below?

"Later, I decided to add this other person on my Facebook and found out that he had the account on "Remember Me" and when I changed the pass it didn't log him out" I read this sentence numerous times, and I still don't get it. You added him onto facebook? How did you know who he was? Why would he just add you back? What do you mean by "remember me"? Was he online 24/7 (literally) so that you couldn't change your password? Besides that, good job on getting your account back.

I lol'd at the pushing contest. At the OP's video...yeah I hope tanki 2.0 will be like that..

This is an idea that will never be implemented, and it is foolish to suggest it. Why would the devs declare that there would soon be a discount on one of the most expensive upgrades (m3)? It would cause every single player possessing a m2 or even m1 of that weapon/hull to immediately stop even considering to buying it, resulting in less crystal purchase. Giving everyone a heads-up on discounts will result in nothing but a drop in sales. If you bought a weapon/hull a day/week before the discount, blame it on your bad luck. I myself bought the m3 railgun two days before it was put on sail.
