It adds a bigger learning curve to Vulcan and turns it into a more skillful turret. Now you have to learn to use such gameplay elements as pre-spinning your barrel when turning a corner and keeping a big enough distance between yourself and the opponent(s). I'll test it a bit more later (only played 1 battle so far) and post further impressions here.

Holiday Lights ftw!

You need a nerf -_-

Pretty sure the new Vulcan is OP. Just tried it in a battle and extremely surprised with the result. I was easily getting kills and in the end my score was almost double that of the player in 2nd. Thunder is about the same in raw power, but still gets nerfed by the popularity of modules.

Managed to get 9799. Just missing 200 from 4 drone MU steps.

I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like after this update we have a good chance of having actual decent balance in the game! Well, with the exception of Magnum, although I'm not too sure if it's even as OP as people claim it to be.

Guys, I'm sure we can all agree that the amount of stars required to get those extra containers is quite overwhelming and not worth playing for 7 hours a day to achieve. However, keep in mind that this is just a random one-time event that doesn't replace any other traditional events like Christmas or Tanki Birthday. It's an extra bonus that developers decided to add to spice up the less interesting summer weeks. Obviously no one forces you to get all the rewards - just play as much as you want and as much as you think is reasonable. Pretend that the event doesn't exist and don't worry about the stars or containers. I did that recently when crazy weekend happened and didn't even keep track of the kills I was getting. Ended up earning 800 kills and 5 containers :D My point is, this isn't a particularly special event, so don't worry too much about it. Just enjoy the double funds and 5x golds! Treat the event rewards as a small bonus to the weekly chain containers.

Under review

Topic merged I changed the status of this topic back to "Under review"

I'm fairly certain that it's not intentional, but developers are definitely aware of this issue.

We don't allow insults on the forum. You can google it if you want.

I definitely agree there. Supplies are far from being the most skill-demanding feature, but we seem to agree that supplies DO require skill to use effectively. And that's what I'm trying to say - using supplies makes a player more skilled, rather than more "noob", like how some people seem to think.

But someone who can turn their turret, maneuver their tank AND use supplies effectively has a clear skill advanatge over a player who can't do one of those things well.

There's a lot of topics backed up at the moment. It will take a while to sort through them all and our team is currently not available. Sorry.

I think you missed the point I'm trying to get accross. What I'm saying is that imagine if everyone had unlimited supplies, meaning that they would be free to use. In that case battles with supplies would require a lot more skill compared to battles without supplies, because not only do you have to move and shoot well, but there's a whole new gameplay element where you have to know which supplies to activate in which order and when, in order to use them with maximum efficiency.

I usually equip a standard combo when joining (either Spectrum or Freeze-Magnum-Railgun), but I change it depending on which turrets are predominant. Occasionally I do protect myself from a single player if I find them to be particularly dangerous or annoying. All my modules have the same upgrade level, so the second poll option doesn't really apply, but it probably would if I had only a few significantly stronger modules.

Then the hype will start again once the server is back up. For now let's just wait and see how the situation develops. It's likely that everything will settle down.

Discord has its own dedicated team of Tanki helpers, who have the time and desire to work there. This server is equally important as the forum, help site, facebook or anything else our community has to offer, so there is no reason to assume that its management will have adverse effect on other communication platforms. An official server gives players a much better opportunity to talk to each other and organise in-game activities. Not many people know how to and have the time/desire to start their own discord channel, so this is a great way to get players closer together in a fun and organised manner. More importantly, the developers played no part in this project. Everything was done by the three admins mentioned in the first post, under supervision from . The fixing of bugs, improvement of the MM system and anything else that developers work on is happening parallel to this and was not affected by this project. It is fully independent, meaning that it also did not require any developers' time or money.

The official Tanki EN Discord server has been launched! Please see the official announcement. Closed.

He probably meant that he didn't buy any gameplay-affecting items, like crystals, MUs, equipment, kits, etc.

The lead game designer of Tanki Online has 81 hours played since 2015, and that's just his main account. You can find a more detailed answer about this here (last question). The EN community manager has 88 hours played and ranked up from basically zero up to WO-3 all during the past year, without spending money.

Memory and practice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Or you could just remember the most essential ones.

OK, seems like a worthy record :)
