Hornet was too popular, so the Developers nerfed it (made it weaker) to help make the other hulls more popular. This is the ongoing process of balancing the game, so you either have to just deal with it and wait until Hornet gets another improvement, or buy another hull.

This means that the topic you created was in the wrong section (Gameplay), whereas it should have been in the section Problems and Solutions. This is why I moved it to the proper section and posted a notice in your topic, so that things don't seem confusing to other users. The mechanics of Freeze slowing tanks down have been changed after the recent update, so now the hull isn't slowed as much, but the effect on the turret is a lot greater and lasts longer, which is why you thought it was a bug. What happened to your crystals? Did they disappear? Title changed to "Inappropriate response from moderators"

Parkour won't work because everybody will want to be the one killing the wasp, so there will be no teamwork to get where the Wasp is sitting.

Over the years I've played battles on every single one of Tanki's maps. I would like to describe some of the rarest maps and give players an insight on the variety of gameplay tactics they can discover when playing on something other than Sandbox, Polygon, Serpuhov or Silence. Berlin The second biggest map in the game after Dusseldorf. Unlike Dusseldorf, this one isn't a flat, boring arena with a bunch of identical buildings arranged in rows. There asymmetrical bases make gameplay different for each side, so you have to use different tactics depending on which team you are on. The map suits all kinds of equipment and play styles. You can camp with Shaft or Rail and shoot enemies across the whole map, you can attack right down the middle in a medium tank or sneak into the enemy territory via the outskirts. Camp A very unique map with reverse flag placement. For many years this map was solely meant for TDM matches, where player bases were on the two different islands and no bridge connecting them. The only thing in the centre was a flat platform, where one could jump down and the only way off was death. Now, the extra bridge connecting the two islands has created a map with rather unique attack strategies. You really have to think hard about when you attack, where you attack, who goes first and when to return your own flag to capture the enemy's. Great for practice with friends if you have voice communication. Chernobyl A great map, where you have to carefully think about your surroundings and be aware of the enemies' positions. The whole map is divided into three main sections - the top floor of the reactor for long range guns to rain fire on the enemy base; the elevated bases with flags, where defenders often hide behind the nearest building; the bottom area, where attackers carry flags. The large structure in the centre (the nuclear reactor) provides great cover for attackers, especially with short range guns. You can grab the flag, run into the tunnels, hide behind the corner and ambush any enemies when they follow you inside. Players with Shaft often prefer to stay on their side of the map, opposite the flag, to shoot attackers as they come up onto the platform to grab the flag. Deathtrack One of the biggest maps with an interesting layout. Great for players with light hulls, who just like to do blitz attacks on the enemy base and run away on high speeds. The multiple ways of approach allow you to easily navigate between obstacles to choose the best way of attack in order to remain unseen and to take the least damage. Esplanade One of the highest maps in the game. Has three main ways of attack, each one unique in tactics required for approach. The special abilities of different guns can really come in useful here when used by skilled players. A carefully positioned Freeze will be great for defense, but any good Thunder or Rico can easily take out the defense on the flag from a safe distance, using walls to their advantage. Firebird can be used to burn a whole bunch of enemy players at the flag, when they all pile up together. Shaft or Railgun can be used for sniping on the outside fields or from the top. And last but not least - this map is great for effective maneuvers when you grab the flag, escape through the top and jump down while doing barrel rolls at the same time. Factory One of the newer maps, which was quickly forgotten after it was added. The map has three ways to attack - directly through the centre for the tough ones, from the top for the strategic ones and around the edges behind buildings for the sneaky ones. Play on it yourself and choose your own strategy. Future This map was added at the same time as Factory. Very interesting layout with many levels of action - on the rooftops, on the bridge and on the ground. The map is relatively open, so you can freely choose which way you want to attack from to get the most out of it. Good map for all types of guns and light-medium hulls. Gravity A very unique map that looks like a mix between Madness and Noise. Gives players an opportunity to do some crazy platform jumps and amazing ninja attacks on the enemy base. Great practice for those, who want to learn how to shoot accurately when you and your opponent are on different levels and at an angle to each other. Gubakha Very confusing but interesting map, where the respawn areas are all limited to a small boxed in area on the side of the map - one for each team. The map is square and the respawn zones are located so that once you spawn on the red team, the blue flag will be on the opposite side of the map, the red flag will be on your left, while the blue team spawns will be on your right. On the blue team this is reversed - the red flag is still on the opposite side of the map, but red respawn is on the left and the blue flag is on the right. Enter the map and see for yourself :) The design of this map also allows for different tactics. You can occupy one of the two camping zones in the corners of the map and snipe people from there, you can hide in the trenches and ambush unsuspecting enemies, you can try and go after the flag over and over, you can sit in the centre of the map and control all movement around you, or you can sit near the flag and strategically place mines. The choice is yours. Industrial Zone One of my favourite maps. Lots of different pathways through holes in walls of buildings or through tunnels and off jumps. If you know this map well, then you will easily be able to confuse your disoriented enemy as you jump in and out of various gaps and hop through passageways all over the place. A new player won't even be able to find the flags when they enter that map for the first time, so do take the time to learn the map before you try and play a battle there. Other interesting rare maps: What we really need is a club where we create battles on rare maps every day and play on them together. Anyone remember this beauty?

Actually, from what I've noticed it's usually the younger generation, who want things to change and get bored quickly if something stays the same for a long time, while the older people just wish for everything to stay as it is. And I'm talking about real life changes here.

I don't see why this would be true. Why would the developers spend time creating such a complicated system of detecting which player triggered the gold to drop and where they are located and which is the nearest available gold box location for their convenience? Such a system wouldn't be worth the effort, because even if the gold drops next to you, there is still not a very high chance that you will catch it. In fact, Once I was playing a duel with one guy and a gold box dropped after I killed him. The drop location was on the other side of the map, so yeah - this is false.

Well, he's not wrong... What's professional about a guy with Mammoth Twins, an 80% paint and full drugs, who still ends up dying in the end? :D

Yes, the cheapest paints were worth 10 crystals. The developers said that the main reason everything was multiplied by 10 is to make newbies feel better about their results. Before the update the beginners would battle for 30 minutes and end up having to share a total of 9 crystals between them. Many tankers got zero despite getting a few kills. After the update the distribution was more fair, so not only everyone got their reward in the end, but also bigger rewards made players feel more accomplished.

Meh.... Not much to discuss. The new forum groups were added to make chat moderators more visible, so that players can see who they can (and should) contact via PM if they have any questions/problems. Chat moderators are also Consultants, just like forum mods, and are always willing to help, so it makes sense to make them stand out and be more noticeable. P.S. Chat moderators*

I heard of this one before, thanks for clarifying.

Yeah, the prices were 10 times lower, but so were the funds. The M3 modification would cost 37000 with today's crystals, which is a lot for such a low rank. By the way the game seemed quite boring back then because all equipment was unlocked by Warrant Officer 5. You would have buyers with full M3 and infinite drugs playing against newbies with M0. It wasn't exactly fun for the latter...

There will most likely be a 50% sale on Tanki's Birthday (4th of June), so you might actually want to save your crystals for then. Although don't take my word for granted - I don't actually know if there will be a 50% sale then.

You still have 5 days left until the sale...

Unfortunately, he's not wrong about the last part...
