I was surprised how slow rate of fire it had some 5 days ago when test was open. I liked Smoky better. But it was not final... Also the Viking is seriously nerfed, it seems to me that devs are trying hard to break our habit of playing tier 2 combos and go for tier 1.

But with its tall narrow shape, Wasp cannot corner well - can it??? It looks ridiculous, I am curious how it turns out. My bet is - nobody uses it in a month. :D

I am thinking mostly about hulls. Because of my rank, I will be forced to choose between M3 Hornet and M3 Viking. I think Viking (which I currently use) is too nerfed, it's new speed is 6.4 compared to Hornet's 9. Hornet will make sense in later stages because it is a compromise between speed and stability. Wasp will be rolling left and right with his silly narrow tracks and speed raised to 10.2 from 7. I think other medium hulls will be better than Viking, both Hunter (way faster, slightly weaker, similar body shape) and Dictator (big target, sometimes unstable, but pretty fast and strong) - seem like better choices than Viking. Even Titan, with more HP and slightly less speed seems better. Which is a shame, I like Viking a lot. As for weapons, M3 Thunder and Freeze are available for my rank, so I guess I will go for them. I also like Rico (currently play Vik/Rik/Spark), Smoky and Rail, even Twins will be good, but I can only buy M2 versions of those at my rank, and who can ever afford all that in M3? Srsly Tanki...

Updating shape of tanks would add some value and quality to the idea of rebalance. It would in a way create 28 instead of 7 unique hulls you can play with. If for instance Dictator M0 is taller than Dictator M3 and have narrower tracks - it would allow the designers to really create a look of the tanks that reflects their performance. Overall width and length does not necessarily need to change, simply height, track width/shape and variations in design would add quality to the game. Keep in mind that new players will have to play this for years to get to top rank. It took me 2 to get to where I am now.

I have given my feedback in the official topic about the rebalance I was invited to but it got DELETED. Why do you do this? It was "Lets discuss", not let's practice censorship! My point is simple. Wasp looks like Renault tank from 1925. And you cannot mask that by giving him M3 texture. It is still narrow and tall and looks like it is from 1925. After rebalance it will be the fastest tank in the game. And it will look LAME with his narrow tracks and tall body shape. You did this ass backwards. All tank bodies and weapons should have slight changes in shape to reflect that they are from different era (or that they are M0, M1, M2 or M3). Current textures are failing at this. Levels of power in Tier 1 and Tier 2 is changed (deleted) and after the rebalance you will have M0 - M3 levels of power to every body or weapon. M0 should have design influence like it is from 1930, and body shape should evolve as M number is increased. Compare Hunter and Viking. Hunter will be faster, and look as if it is from a different era. VIking will be low cut sexy; but dead beat slow tank. It makes no sense.

I noticed another irritating thing about wrecks of destroyed tanks. When I destroy them they explode, roll over and fall down. I start moving beside the tank wreck and then it "jumps" as if it rolled over differently and it totally jams me up blocking my path. This happens pretty often, I noticed it happened twice in a row just now when I played.

This is a game and not real warfare, and tweaking this would maybe add to the pace of it. I think I recall a vote on this issue existed some time ago?

It's marzipan. I added some food coloring to it...

I almost hadn't got enough time to make a cake with all the tiny details I had in mind... The cake was made from chocolate and cookie dough, and all details on the cake are made from marzipan. Snow was made from coconut flakes and icing sugar. I also incorporated interesting detail for all rail lovers - when you see it... :) Enjoy my Sandbox Winter...

I don't see no shadows, and please fix Sandbox falling through bug.

Since you have 2 weapons and like to use Isida, buy Viking. And you don't have to buy - just play for a few months you'll get there in time for some discount.

Bear is not impressed.

Having 310.755 crystals to spend on baloons is pretty insane! :roll:

why do only winners get the prize, shouldn't first 3 teams get something?

Gooo June 2nd! It's a good chance for a discount, although Tanki 3.0 would be a good surprise! :P

I don't think it is spent, it has an expiry time/date.

Mainstream answer is Viking, it is more stable - the very important thing with rico. Hornet is for speed freaks. :P On Shaft vs Rico dilemma - it is a matter of style - are you a action player or a camper?

Totally depends on the map - I would say overall Rail M2.

I am using Dictator M3 for a long time (I am Colonel now), and it has served me well, but it has it's drawbacks. It is huge, so I still get stuck a lot. It is light so it can be flipped easily. It is not stable. I still prefer it over Viking M2 that I have, because I like speed, but I will not use it when I upgrade Viking to M3. I suggest get a Viking M0, and upgrade it when you can. Keep using twins and upgrade Rail and Viking when you can. When you get Viking to M3 (it will take a long time but it is worth it) - then start thinking about Rico, Thuder, Shaft, some paint, etc...

Agreed, new system is great, I went from getting gold once a month to once a day. Not gold digging, just playing normally... :D

M2 thunder is best of those, for madness for sure, it is useful in loads of smaller maps too. Try to collect crys for thunder, there could be a discount soon.

I suggest upgrading Viking or Hornet to M3, upgrading Freeze, Rico and two tier 2 bodies can take years to get to M3, or lots of money. So pick one and upgrade it to M3 because stats change is biggest when you go from M2 to M3. I would say Viking is better to use with both Freeze and Rico because it is more stable platform Rico needs. Mammoth is too slow for Freeze, and is good option only if you play DM, it is very rare in CTF matches. Rico shot will bounce as many times as it needs to, until it travels 80m.

It is a bit early, they clearly want to have an event this weekend and not on the ninth. Nowhere on Victory day wiki page is it called May Day. May Day May Day on May 1 is an ancient northern hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday;[1] it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. Last time there was a counter there was 25% discount on everything, hoping it happens this time.

That about sums it all up. Well done sir.
