First of all, this game is a private business with limited liability. They let you play the game for free and if you invest money into it - you're just donating at your own will. They don't owe you anything and they reserve the right to change whatever they want without refund for those the change affects. Second, you need to just stop complaining and get used to it. The easiest gun in Tanki was finally made more difficult, so that Shaft actually required more skill to play and other players have a chance to avoid it. Don't compare this game to real life - it's not. The developers change things not to make the game more realistic, but to make it more interesting for everyone to play. Hiding in the bushes was a very OP strategy that allowed you to easily gain lots of kills with very little effort. Now, that tactic was nerfed, however it's still very easy to aim and hit enemies, especially now that you don't have to get the kill to gain points. Stop complaining and get used to it. It's a good update.

Erm, you captured one. How is that a record? "Most flags in a minute" is not specific enough. It depends on the distance, the number of enemies and the resistance from them. If you want to set a record like that, try capturing as many flags as you can in one minute using wasp M3 with nitro on an empty Island map.

A topic to discuss the first new turret already exists. Once the name is finalised, either the existing topic will be pinned and renamed, or a new official one will be created. For now, please discuss the "Magnum" in the topic below

Yeah, I know the effect is longer at higher ranks. I'm talking about the damage it deals per second, which will always be 5hp/sec and 10hp/sec with DD. The minimum and maximum damage range has nothing to do with burning effect - it only defines the actual damage range while the firebird is attacking another tank. The table from the wiki doesn't actually seem to have a row for "burning damage", which is actually really weird.

There is no rule that prohibits players from posting questions like "who wants to date?" and similar in chat. I will definitely agree that trying to use the battle chat to find a dating partner is stupid and extremely out of place, considering that this is a shooter game, but there is no reason why "dating" conversations should be prohibited in chat. Therefore you can't get a ban for such conversations UNLESS you start discussing sexual topics and more inappropriate things. Now that can definitely get you banned, which is right. P.S. If someone is constantly annoying you in chat with dating questions you can always just block them, so their messages won't show up.

There were two or three battles that surpassed the 1 000 000 mark on the battle fund. All three happened during the triple fund celebration weekend. The first two were on 999 flag PRO silence and the biggest one with over 1 800 000 fund was on 999 flag PRO Dusseldorf.

It's not that. I use the website to host images to later insert them into the forum, but it also happens to have these galleries where people are allowed to upload 18+ content, which is why some filters block the whole website "just in case".

It's given to the top 8 clan members (I think).

I think it's because the image hosting site is blocked by your internet provider (it has 18+ galleries on it). Where do you live?

Not the main damage, I'm talking about the burning effect.

While this is still relevant, I'll post the results of a Team Deathmatch battle on Serpukhov, where the red team was all shafts and the blue team was all Railguns: First round: Second round: And then there was a battle of Shaft vs. Thunder. This time we battled in TDM mode first and then changed to CTF to make the test fair for Thunders. You guessed it - Shafts won the TDM, but Thunders beat Shafts in CTF, however Shafts still managed to capture 2 flags, surprisingly. First battle (TDM): Second battle (CTF): We'll repeat the experiment with Shaft vs. Railgun after the Shaft laser update. Hopefully the results will be interesting.

Played XP with xX_Like_a_boss_Xx against a bunch of newbie generalissimos :D Good game, however please remember in the future that XP = Hornet + Railgun and wasps are not allowed in such battles (title needs to have BP)

It's being removed now, so your argument is invalid :) However, the idea was that the aim shakes because the charge is being built up and the energy is causing vibrations. By the way, you can't really talk about super advances technologies with this game, for example for Freeze, the original garage description (at least in Russian) was that a bored mechanic joined a fridge with a fan and created "the freeze gun", which he used to fend off annoying children. An engineer at a local tank assembly factory heard about the invention and soon, the Freeze was created. :D So yeah...

The fund distribution was made so hat even if you just lay to the best of your ability and get beaten by "buyers", you still get some of the battle fund. You can't just expect to get free crystals for doing nothing "because you can't play well", that's not how it works. That's not how any MMO will ever work.

The problem is that most of the games on Tanki Online are random battles with random players joining and playing together. I have played in an organised team many times before. In a few of these battles there were shafts on our side and/or on the enemy's side. Even then, thinking up an effective strategy to kill the shaft and carrying it our is simply not worth it because you could just avoid the shaft and use your team to do something more effective, like... capture the flag maybe? There's no point spending a lot of valuable time to kill the shaft,because he will just respawn and occupy the sniping location again. Unless your strategy is fast and simple, it's best to just avoid the shaft. That 's if you're playing in an organised team. In a random battle there is barely any teamwork and getting your team to do something organised is nearly impossible. It's much easier to just avoid the shaft and hope that he doesn't see you, which is why shaft needs to be changed to add that interaction between the shaft and the player.

I know I was the one, who said that this game isn't a realistic simulator and shouldn't be over-analysed, but a beam that's invisible and becomes visible in the last ten meters just makes no sense to me...

Yes, but some people didn't do microupgrades and others didn't buy kits. The variety of spending techniques is too great to make another reset of garage and have it be fair for all players. Hazel-Rah already said that it will never happen again (or at least not this time).

There's a difference between playing a few battles a day on different maps with different people as a hobby/leisure and playing one battle for 24 hours non-stop, doing the same thing over and over again just so that you get a bunch of virtual crystals to buy virtual tanks. Not worth it man, so not worth it...

I corrected some of the misinformation in your text. Make sure you check that the grammar is correct as some of the sentences don't make sense. If you have any issues with my correction, don't hesitate to ask me to clarify them.

I haven't actually tried playing with the new shaft on the test server yet, so we'll have to wait until the update comes out on the main servers. The developers can always change new features with new updates based on player feedback.

In DM the whole battlefield is a mess and players will be too occupied with other enemies to worry about your laser. As long as you don't sit there and constantly aim with the sniper, waiting for someone to drive right into it, the laser shouldn't bee to much of a disadvantage. Like Hazer-Rah said - aim and fire ONLY when the enemy is already in sight and after one of two shots change your location because players would have seen where you are.

What if I told you, you can't see a laser beam unless the air is full of smoke or other semi-transparent medium? If anything, it makes the game less realistic, but more interesting though.

Aiming at tree: Aiming at floor:

I play with shaft - it's not difficult to use and the reason it's rare is because it's just boring...
