It's not. The chance of getting XT was revealed to you: it's less than 1%. It's your own fault thinking that you might get lucky, but you didn't realise that getting XT is a 1 in 10000 chance, meaning that you have to spend an average of around 80 000 000 on mission changing to get each XT item. With 300 000 crystals you only switched the missions less than 350 times, so you had a 375/10000 (3.75%) chance of getting XT The only thing the developers did not tell us is that "less than 1%" actually means 0.01%

Current one. The gold box time was carefully adjusted to be fair for all players. As I said many times before - with the 30 seconds delay (and 10 seconds falling time) the chances of catching a gold box are balanced: Players with heavy hulls won't be able to go around the whole map in 30 seconds, but if they do find the gold drop location they are very likely to catch the gold box as they won't be killed or pushed from underneath it. Players with light hulls will almost always have enough time to find the gold box drop location due to high speed, but are unlikely to catch the gold as they can be easily killed/pushed. Inexperienced players have a better chance of catching a gold box than before, because sometimes the gold drops in a remote locations where any player can find it and take it, regardless of their skill. Although their gold boxes will be rare because there are more drop locations near the centre. If you don't have much luck catching golds in the middle of a large pile-up, then you are better of playing on large maps and when a gold box drops - go around the outside. You might be lucky to be the only one to discover the gold box in the corner of a map. Experienced gold box hunters can try their luck by going in the centre in the middle of a pile-up, as they know how to catch golds and are likely to get them, but they won't always get gold boxes due to a large number of drop locations. Players, who are defending the base, are still able to catch golds in case the gold box drops on the base, so they don't have to leave the base and abandon defense

M2 Hornet Rail is planned, apparently, but I'm not sure if it will definitely be added.

They're doing most popular items first, so I think it will be Dictator, Isida and Rico.

Well, if you want to look at it that way... Inspiration for FireWasp XT was, in fact, a dragon (see the latest videoblog), so any fire-breathing dragon you can think of can fit the description here.

When Loam and Clay were added to the game, their names somehow got mixed up, so in Russian the Loam paint is called "Глина" (clay), while Clay is called "Тина" (loam). When the wallpapers were made, the links were translated from Russian into English, so the name for Loam ended up being "clay". In the future if you want to ask a question about the game, please refrain from creating new topics and use the official http://help.tankionline.com Q&A site. Closed.

In theory - yes. But if you consider the actual amount of time it will take you to earn the required amount of crystals to buy thousands of supplies and M4 equipment (using only legal methods), then you'll realise that free players have almost no chance at being equally matched to players, who put a lot of money into the game.

It doesn't, but buying helps your get superior equipment so that you can win battles easier. Yes, you can get the same equipment, while paying nothing, but it will be a lot more difficult and requires huge commitment and time, which many non-buying players don't have. So although you can spend hours and hours playing long battles to buy thousands of supplies and fully MU'd equipment, in reality there are very few players who actually do that, so buying crystals at low ranks and investing them into supplies and equipment does generally make you more powerful than the average player.

Proof: "Gradually the whole set of equipment will have an XT version available from missions. By the way, for lower ranks we are considering adding Hornet and Railgun XT of M2 modification." Edited the first post.

You sure? It looks more like this guy:

*massive facepalm* It's physically impossible to get 9999 kills or 99999 xp in the time since the new XT items were released. This is a technical account and it's controlled by developers or testers. Obviously the XT item was just added there.

You see a beautiful tank. I see this:

You see a beautiful tank. I see this:

There's a 1% chance of getting a "super mission" (such as 9999 kills). Out of those, there is another 1% chance of getting and XT item. The chance of getting XT is shared between all items, so if you specifically want Railgun XT (and not any other XT item), then the chance of you getting it is 1% x 1% x 16% = 0.000016 = 0.0016%. This means that out of a million missions on average only 16 will be the ones you want. I really hope I'm wrong :wacko:

No, I'm not saying it and yes - there was never an announcement for it since developers thought it was too small of a change to announce.

Second option seems more likely, considering the chance of an XT mission coming up now :D

I may have made a mistake .___. Checking it right now.

Well, they still won't allow players to choose the XT item they want. The reward will be random.

Which one?

Well, I just noticed that the following is said in the news: So, fingers crossed :)

Pics of new equipment might be released tomorrow, but it's highly likely that the devs will keep them secret.

I wonder if the new XT equipment will have the same design as the Hornet and Rail XT. I mean, it would be cool if each XT item would have its own gold design pattern like flames, swirls, spirals, shapes, waves etc. Would definitely give each item a more personalised look.
