Make It Bun Dem by Skrillex (and play with firebird) :)

I can teach you. But first, answer four questions: What do you mean by "tricks"? Is this your main account or do you have others? What gun and turret do you use? What maps you like to play on (what maps would you like to try)?

OK, that clears it up :)

That topic would still be considered offensive. You're just giving players a topic specifically designed for calling other people stupid via screenshots. This will generate a lot of flame and conflict, which will turn the topic into a spam fest. It also provokes players to conflict with one another, and such topics break the forum rules and will be deleted.

How does one "skip" a grade of gun? You still need to buy M2 to get M3... Unless it's in a kit, in which case there is no point saving up and not upgrading to rail m2, because the new update will include all the items you already purchased from that kit, making it much cheaper.

You titled the topic incorrectly then. Ask a moderator to change it to "Ideas and suggestions for improving your skill [in the game]" or something like that...

It's even worse in some cases... The rules state that a player can be kicked from a format battle if their gun or hull do not follow the format regulations. This does NOT include pains. So if a player changes to prodigy in a Hornet-Railgun battle and you change to smoky (or any other gun) to punish the prodigy, then in case people /vote and a moderator comes, you will be kicked and not him, because he was following the rules (using Hornet Railgun in an XP battle), yet you had a prohibited gun. Despite the fact that the paint he was using is not allowed in XP by any means (for obvious reasons), the rules don't allow moderators to kick players for a wrongful paint, because paints were not considered for random format battles yet. Even if the moderator sees (and they do see) that the prodigy player is wrong, has an unfair advantage and must be kicked, they can't do that because it will be a violation of their credentials, for which they can be deprived of their job title. To conclude: by the current Game Rules, a player in XP with Hornet+Railgun+Prodigy is NOT breaking any rules, but if you try to punish that player by changing to a gun, other than railgun, you are a violator and are liable to be kicked. Which is wrong, but life's tough...

Another good strategy on a map with many tall buildings on the bases (e.g. Serpuhov) is to grab the flag, dive behind a building and then stop. The defenders will rush to the other side of the building expecting you to come out of there into their ambush, but you can just turn around and easily drive out the other side, where they aren't looking :P. Works best with a fast tank.

I don't think there is need for a new topic to separate gameplay ideas from general ideas... The official "Ideas and Suggestions" topic already exists: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=214823&hl=+ideas&page=1 As for the ideas, I would love to see a new gun that works like isida, but shoots lightning, which damages a tank when in range and if there are many multiple tanks near one another, then the lightning branches onto them too, dealing half the original damage. Also it would be cool to have a rocket gun, which shoots in a ballistic trajectory. An idea for hulls - I think that at the moment they are not original enough - the only real difference is amount of health vs. speed (and different shapes/dimensions). It would be much more interesting if each hull would have a unique ability that would be a serious reason for purchase of that hull. For example: Wasp - 3 second super speed boost every 30 seconds. Hornet - jump boost every 15 seconds Hunter - ability to turn back on its tracks (once per life) Dictator - ability to drive on top and over other tanks easily Viking - ability to move sideways for a few seconds at a time Titan - ability to push through other tanks effortlessly for a few seconds Mammoth - becoming indestructible for 5 seconds (once per life)

The update makes it impossible for organised drugging teams to "rob" a group of random players by outnumbering them with the amount of drugs they have. Now, the only way to rob a battle to get the fund is with powerful full MU m3 equipment and using good skill and organisation, which is good (unless they use mults). Besides, drugging has now changed from a noob power-up to a complex technique that requires skill to use it efficiently.

Erm...so, "Best way to help defend the flag" then? I would suggest NOT leaving the base when the flag is gone. One of the best strategies is to have one player grab the flag, carry it out of the enemy base, forcing all of the enemy team to go after him. That player then dies and the enemy flag gets returned to the enemy base...where three more players are waiting to take the flag. They grab it and simply walk out of the base because all the defenders went to chase the first guy and are now somewhere on the battlefield... If the first guy with the flag captures your flag, then there is a high chance that you will lose 2 in a row because, again, your base was empty. The point is - don't ever leave your base empty and defenceless, because often it results in the flag being effortlessly taken.

No, this is purely for fun and competition. There are no rewards apart from the fact that your name with the record is put on the topic's first page.

Or it could mean that the enemy is already in pieces and only needs one little hit to die?

Maybe. But that's quite easy to set up if you add everyone on the server. Of the 1000 people on there it's easy to get 22, who are in battles, to accept your friend requests. It's a record, but not impressive enough to be added, IMHO.

That still doesn't make you any better, since you downvote people's pictures. If you like it - press the green button, if you dislike it - ignore it. Don't offend people with a dislike.

Try out all the different hulls and guns at m0 (while they are cheap and easy to buy) and then continue playing with the one gun + hull combo you like most. Always aim to upgrade that combo once the upgrade unlocks. Remember - one M2 M2 tank combo is better than 100 M1 M1 tanks, since you can only use one at a time.

I'm pretty sure that a "frag" is a mix of two Russian words "vrag" (enemy) and "flag", meaning that the common saying "to get frags" means to get experience point by means of capturing flags or killing enemy tanks. Either that, or it's just a slang term for an enemy or player that has very low health points. Hence, "stealing frags" would mean dealing the final damage to a player when another player did most of the initial damage, so he did the work, but you got the kill and 10 points (doesn't apply to TDM matches). You "stole" the frag because with one or two shots you got all the bonus for destroying a tank, while the other guy did most damage and got nothing.] Answering your question - the best gun for stealing frags is thunder, because you can instantly deal a rather large amount of damage and the shots are quite frequent. That way you can predict when a tank is low in health (e.g. after a rail shot them or they were beaten by freeze/isida/rico/firebird/twins for a few seconds) and shoot them do kill the tank and get all the credit with a single shot. The worst gun is raigun, due to its warm-up before the shot and the fact that it rarely one-shots tanks. Often you deal 90% of damage with one shot and some other guy sees that you shot a tank and finishes them off, stealing your kill, because they know that the tank you shot will most likely be on very low health and east to kill. The warm-up is annoying because often the tank you are aiming at gets killed while your shot is warming up and you end up losing all that potential damage and the frag.

Unfortunately this community (like any community) is far from perfect. The best solution is to organise a group of friends, who share the same interests, and play closed battles together.
