Topic merged Yes, helpers are allowed. The only requirements are that you must be the one to capture the flag and the game must be a standard Matchmaking battle. You can also submit a group record where you and your friends capture 7 flags/goals, in which case it doesn't matter who captures/scores and the record will be added to the "group records" section.

Topic merged I feel the opposite - the benefits outweigh the drawnacks. Every single day in battle I face the same issue - do I talk to someone in English or Russian? If I could just press Tab or click on their name to check their nationality, it would be much easier to communicate.

I'd also like "number of times killed juggernaut" and "time spent as juggernaut".

I love the garage descriptions, so this is a fun topic to discuss. Most fearsome paint I have is probably Holiday Lights: "Those who go into battle with colourful lights are the most feared on the battlefield. Or so we are told" :ph34r: P.S. I like it how descriptions of Traceur and Red Suit still mention protective paints: Traceur has "no defensive attributes" and Red Suit "provides excellent protection against Vulcan and Isida" :D

Sorry, it seems that I forgot about a rule update that happened a while ago. The other judges will re-evaluate your records.

Awesome, although it will only be accepted for the first record. That record was specifically added for this kind of scenario - where you buy a ton of gold boxes and drop them all for yourself at once in a single battle. The rest of the records much be done in normal, or at least semi-normal battles. Basically, there have to be other players in the battle, who you must fight to take the gold boxes. The current record only has a screenshot of ratings, but that's because it was made on a low rank account, where the gold box supply is not even available. If you want to set that record on a higher ranked account, you have to provide a screenshot of every gold box taken.

Don't forget that the gear score displayed is what's currently equipped, not the highest potential gear score owned by the player. I corrected mine to 9949, just for you :) And yeah, my bad - I thought I had 9999, but my shot colour alts are separate from my XT turrets. Anyway, plenty of people already have XT M4 turret + hull, 3 full MU modules, a legendary paint and 300 of each supply. It's only a matter of time before a bunch of people find shot colours in containers and MU at least one drone to 20/20. As for the meaning, check here: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Gear_Score So yeah, 9999 GS is not a max garage, but just a single max combo. Not that impressive.

Myself.

Plenty of people already have 9999 gear score, so the record would very quickly reach its limit. It's not that impressive anyway.

Thanks, that's pretty much it! Additionally, others already mentioned above that a lot of the things you thing are "cheats" are actually gameplay features. Particularly alterations and drones. They change the way your turret and supplies work, so in some ways it becomes a lot more powerful and looks like the player is using cheats, when they actually aren't. If you see anything suspicious in battles, just report them using the "Vote" option (see instructions here), but please make sure you are familiar with the game before you report, so that you don't waste moderators' time on false reports.

Have you been living under a rock? This was changed over a year ago :lol: All the pinned topics were unpinned (because there were too many of them) and you can find links to them in the section header (on the I&S page under the rules). You can also find a list of them by filtering via tag, like this: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&search_tags=Category&search_app=forums

Well, yeah. I feel like it's fine to refer to "normal buyers" as just average players, because I'm pretty sure that every typical player has bought at least something in this game. By using the word "buyers" I always refer to people, who use money to take advantage of most, if not all, purchasable features.

Booster drone vs. Juggernaut: 2 Saboteurs in CTF: As a great man once said: "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be" :ph34r:

Not something that should be debated or discussed on the forum. If you want to, you can forward your concern to one of the chat administrators: or . Closed.

Good point, I suggest you buy me a couple blue spheres with all those extra crystals that (according to you) you don't deserve :lol:

Cedric has just recently got back into his job, so he needs a lot of time to catch up with what happened in one year. Even then, it's very difficult for him to do his duties behind the scenes and also communicate with players. Nives did that a lot and he ended up overworking himself, which is never a good thing. So while it would be great to have our CM talk to players and answer all questions, please don't expect him to be able to post on the forum all the time and reply to every single thing. If you need help or have a question, please make sure you contact one of the helpers/admins first, as it will be much faster and will lead to the same result. Contrary to popular belief, the CM can not tell you anything about the game that isn't already public information. I.e. if the players and helpers don't know it, then the CM can't tell you either.

Pigs, Gophers, Chickens and Rabbits. The most fearsome armies the world will ever see.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Could be a teaser, or an intentional implementation of the effects to test them on the main servers. Who knows...

OK, fair enough. I still don't see the problem though. The paints still look the same, but now they also move. How is that NOT an improvement?

I disagree. With the amount of new paints the game has gained, eSports paints have been getting less and less recognisable over the past couple years. This change doesn't affect the visual aesthetic of the paints but it makes them more valuable and easier to recognise.

In this case it was merged into a duplicate topic. I explained to axr11 in PM :)

I didn't. The user posted that idea here directly. If the topic were to be merged, it would first have the "merge" tag for a few days and then it would get merged into the topic with a mod quoting the post and saying "topic merged". And in this case I would not merge that topic here.

Well, not quite. This is the Hyperspace Rounds alteration, which, when combined with M4 Rail, gives +200% damage increase from penetration, meaning that every next tank in line of one shot will receive double the damage of the previous tank. The first tank gets normal damage, the second tank only gets double damage, then quadruple, then x8, then x16, x32 and so on. In normal battles you don't get players lining up too often, so this greatly depends on the player's ability to seek out and line up "combo shots" to take advantage of the alteration. Because shooting a single tank is actually worse, since the base damage is 10% lower and there's -25% impact force. The only way to get damage into the millions is to have 30+ players line up and intentionally get shot. In normal battles you will get no more than 3 or 4 tanks in a row (when a gold drops or when teammates are piled up next to a ball or flag), so with 4 tanks you will only get x8 damage to the 4th tank, which is an absolute maximum of 11 520 damage. Enough to one-shot an M4 Titan with 50%, but the odds of such an opportunity coming up are extremely low.
