My favourite idea for balancing Juggernaut is the one inspired by Riddler, where Juggernaut gets a single use shield when he spawns. So basically, if the shield is 10k (which I think is a reasonable amount), then Juggernaut will have 30k health at the start, but as people shoot him, it will go down to the standard 20k and from then on if Juggenaut activates OD, it will only heal him to a maximum of 20k. This way if a player isn't that good at playing Juggernaut, and/or if they get a bad spawn, they will have that extra HP in order to get their bearings and start getting kills.

You have a good point, although keep in mind that you had two massive advantages: double battle funds throughout the whole holiday and the fact that you are an experienced player, who is better than the actual newbies. We're discussing balance here because balance affects whether or not new players will stay in the game and keep playing, which is key to increasing the active player base and preventing the game from "dying". I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that if a new player struggles with progression and keeps getting dominated by hardcore buyers in every battle, then they probably won't stay for long. So in this case we should be looking at balance from a newbie's perspective. If you're a newbie, you don't have the advantage of already being good at the game and you most likely won't have double funds when you start playing (though at least there's the beginner's pass, which is nice). I imagine it's much harder to get through the ranks in that situation, but that's nearly impossible to test unless you actually find someone who's never played Tanki before and is willing to try.

But the shots already deal 100% damage to the tank, regardless of whether you hit the turret or the body. I'm not sure what you mean by that benefit.

We only have "Most stars in a battle", which is 57.

That doesn't really make things any better. You'll end up with Legends dominating the game mode 100% of the time.

I think it's because JGR has really bad balance. I mean, either you have an M4 tank and you're good at the game, so you're good at the game mode, or you are an average player who might get to become Juggernaut once in 10 battles and once you do, you get destroyed within 10 seconds. Devs need to make some changes to make the game mode more balanced between pros and newbies, otherwise it will always be the same thing - around 20 total players regularly dominating the game mode, while everyone else is just cannon fodder.

Since stars are a limited-time event, we can accept this as a more generic record, specifically "Shortest matchmaking battle", which will be added to public records. The fact that you earned 6 stars so fast is a result of a bunch of weaker players being placed against a strong team, so it's more of a lucky coincidence, rather than a personal accomplishment. If it was a solo mode, then it would be valid, but for that we already have a separate record.

And throw a Juggernaut in there somewhere. Because why not? :rolleyes:

There are definitely plans to release it on iOS, but it's a far more complicated process compared to Android. Developers did not give any provisional deadlines yet, so just be patient and follow the news. If you have any more questions, please ask in the Q&A topic. Closed.

Most likely planned for the future, but not implemented yet. Just like how we have a "Main" tab in the missions menu that can't be opened yet.

I think it's because we didn't count any holiday records, i.e. those made during x10 and x20 gold rates.

The irony - he has Cryo rounds alteration and I have Corrosive mix. As a result, my Freeze does NOT freeze him, but his Smoky freezes me :lol: You try and explain that to someone playing Tanki in 2014 and they'll think you're crazy.

I was there and I do remember. And I remember us switching to another map halfway through. Or maybe it was the same map, but a different battle.

Value is just the number of that thing you earned in the current week. "Previously" is for the previous week. So, amount of experience earned, number of golds caught and amount of crystals earned. If you have any more questions, please use the Q&A topic. Closed.

Updated the first post with relevant information.

I realise that it's all one battle in the video, but this battle alone did not have 1000 golds.

I'm pretty sure it was two or three separate battles.

One of the rarest things that sometimes happens is when two players with instant-damage turrets kill each other. I mean, with burn or projectile turrets it's fairly common for them to get killed, but then they get a kill post-mortem, but when, say, two Smokys are shooting each other, they have to fire at the exact same moment in order to be able to kill each other. Oh and I have a gold box story too. One day back in 2012 (before the gold siren was a thing) I was in a battle on Polygon and saw the gold dropping nearby, I went to the spot, stood under it, and when the gold was 1 metre above my tank the server restart happened and the battle instantly ended. RIP.

Oh hell no! It's impossible to play JGR battles without good modules nowadays. Even 50% isn't enough against M4 Strikers and Shafts with Booster drones. Although, the current balance situation in JGR is weird, because a lot of players die within 20 seconds of becoming Juggernaut, but some can stay alive for the whole game. The game mode needs a smarter change to improve balance, such as a one-time shield with 10k extra HP that you get once you spawn as Juggernaut, which would help you survive and get your bearings.

Under review

Actually, I would count the before and after screenshots as pretty solid proof, so it should be added in gold. in order to fake it, someone would have to spend quite a bit of time in photoshop, or somehow manage to purchase the supplies they spent AND purchase crystals to hide what they spent on supplies, all during the same battle. I don't think anyone will put in so much effort to fake some random challenge with no reward.
