10% slower idle OD charge rate Zero OD retention (you use it and die instantly — it's wasted) 10 seconds delay on OD charge bonus from battle score (longest of all hulls, very significant) Stun duration nerf down to 1 second (biggest nerf of all) I think there's something else I missed, but even just those four together made Hopper a lot less effective in many situations. And in the recent Russian Q&A, Opex said that he plans to make another change to counter Hopper's ability to "grab and fly". His initial suggestion (subject to change) is to make it impossible for enemies to use overdrives while inside a Titan's dome. Any long range turret (preferably hitscan) paired with Viking. So ideally Shaft or Railgun, but Striker (Hunter augment), Gauss, Smoky, Thunder, Hammer (Slugger) can also work. Not as effective as the P2W stuff, but still works with a bit of skill.

I outlined my opinion in the I&S topic quite nicely, and you conveniently chose to ignore it and continue your baseless accusations. This is the direct quote: Every part of this sentence is factual, unbiased truth. I cannot force you to believe me and you probably won't, but that's what it is. Now I would appreciate if you stopped spreading any further misinformation. Light Hopper + PT Rico + Crisis is an insanely fun combo and takes a lot of skill to use effectively. Dare I say that a game mode (CTF or RGB) where everyone had this combo fully upgraded with infinite supplies would have a far higher skill cap than XP/BP ever did. The problem is obviously that it has a massive advantage over all other combos when it comes to mobility, to a point where a lot of the battles are boring due to how easy it is to score and win. That being said, there are counters to this combo, and I regularly end up facing skilled and powerful enemies, who manage to put up a strong fight and often even defeat me. Those are the games I enjoy, even if I lose. Any long range AP/EMP turret on just a slightly open map is all it takes to make my life hell. Pair that with stun immunity Viking/Hunter, and there's not much I can do.

Actually, I clicked on a few of the profiles and haven't found an acc with over 9000 hours. There were a couple with around 8500 though ?

Understandable why you'd think it's a laser, but railguns are a real life weapon, where a projectile is accelerated to extremely high velocity using electromagnets. The "laser" you see is actually supposed to be a trail of dust left behind by the projectile.

Most nicknames for turrets are just shorter versions of them to make them easier to say/type. Rico, Rail, Mag, Fire... Russians seem have a much wider variety of abbreviations, and even many nicknames for specific combos, such as "horerelya", "dikorik", "mamoizya", etc. I'll leave it to you to guess what they mean :D

Seeing the hours on some of these... I have no words. But then again, I myself have over 2000 hours in this game, and that's only since 2015 (when ratings were introduced) and I started playing in 2011. By the way, any reason why this has to be a new topic? I can just give you ownership of the old one.

Found my new phone wallpaper ?

The rewards only include 150 shards and 100 stars.

Yeah it's so broken haha. With full MU Crisis I can do insane things. For example jump from one balcony on Brest straight to the other balcony. Or jump onto the roofs on Dusseldorf and literally hop between them without even needing OD (even from a low roof to a higher roof). If you're good enough, you can use its physics to actually gain serious height without OD. Here's a video I made a few moths ago.

Good thing I retired the project! (congrats tho)

Status changed to valid

I hate it when I get put into an interesting CTF map where the enemy has effective defences, and just as I'm figuring out the right attack strategy and am about to go for the winning flag, the game just ends. So frustrating. 10-15 minutes would be nice. Maybe on larger maps only, because of how long it takes to just get across the map there.

Same as with Combe, the Russian name for the map does not resemble the English meaning you suggested at all. "Простор" means "expanse" or "large open area".

Hello While those are indeed some hackers you saw, there are two things to keep in mind: The place to report gameplay violations is on the Russian forum. Players from all communities are meant to report violators there. The nickname of the user reporting must be the same as the nickname of the in-game account, from which the video was recorded. So in this case, the youtuber himself must be the one posting the report topic, otherwise it won't be accepted. Hope this helps. Closed

hax

Good topic, but you're a bit off on some things :) Corrections: Barda is a town in Perm region, which is, as you may know, where the game devs are from. Camp used to have no bridge in the middle, so it was just two separate islands, which could only be played in TDM format with each team respawning on their own island. Hence everyone was "camping". Combe is named after a landform, much like Canyon. It's a synonym of "valley", which is what the map resembles. It definitely has nothing to do with the village, since the Russian name for the map (Овраг) is just a translation of the word. Esplanade is named after an area of the same name in Perm. Picture of Gubakha (not the most picturesque place haha) Massacre is probably named that way because of how open it is, so battles on it are, welll... a massacre. But yeah, Arena would also work. Monte Carlo isn't a region in France, but the capital of Monaco, which is an independent country. It's best known for its wealth, as well as hosting the most difficult Formula 1 track on its city streets. The fact that Monte Carlo in Tanki is a racetrack is a reference to that. Novel could mean either a book, or some new invention (novelty). Not sure what it has to do with the map name. Seems random. Osa is another city in Perm region. Osa is also "wasp" in Russian, but, interestingly enough, that's not what the hull is called. For the Wasp hull they instead opted to literally call it "Vasp" with Russian letters. Same goes for almost all other hulls. Parma in context of Tanki refers not to the city in Italy, but to the old name for the city of Perm, where Tanki devs are situated. Polygon in Russian (Полигон) means a place to test weapons. A shooting range basically. So it's not so random, but the map doesn't really look like a shooting range. Scope implies "a large open area". P.S. I like how you put in less and less effort into the descriptions as you went down the list, eventually basically ending it with "etc." once you got to Stadium ?

Many players? I disagree. In fact, from personal experience I can tell you that of the hundreds of thousands of tanks I've shot at over the many years in this game, I'd say one in a thousand at most decides to leave (or refresh) while I'm shooting him. It's such a rare occurrence that I can't even recall any specific instance of it happening. And when it happens, my reaction is simply "huh, weird", and then I move on. So honestly, I don't know where you find all these players. Unless other people can confirm that this is a real problem, I'm gonna consider this as a feature that is not worth implementing. I do however, support a much simpler solution that has a lot more use, which that that if someone quits the battle OR self-destructs, all players that damaged that tank in the past 10 seconds will get some score (and maybe a kill) as compensation. But, this being a non-essential feature, it will await its turn like the rest of suggestions in I&S.

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that LCR gives a massive default damage buff without needing to be on low health?

Dear "bring back isida self-heal" people from 2016, your prayers have been answered! ? Also nice to see that the battle list isn't forgotten.

Suggested before and definitely possible, but 50k crystals when the rename pass is 2k tankoins? Come on ?

Cost of firing is 1tk per bullet? ?

What do you mean by this, by the way? The player was in first place on their team, had more than 70 points, but didn't get stars?

Why not have them both available? Also the main way to earn stars at the moment is by completing daily missions. The other sources of stars are just extra options.
