Definitely not. The record is held by an account called AbsolutePacifist - a player, who created an experiment with a goal of reaching marshal (the highest rank at the time) without a single kill. Before he got isida he player CTF maps and captured flags without killing anyone, which is where he got the XP from. After he got Isida, he only healed teammates and captured flags in battles, getting XP without kills. He played many long battles too, so it's possible that he gained 5000 - 10000 points in one battle with no kills. I'll see if I can find the topic. Found it. http://ru.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=104935&hl=+absolutepacifist&page=1 Here's one of the screenshots (not necessarily his best score)

How is it moving towards WoT? They are two completely different games that will never have any drastic similarities except for the fact that both are multiplayer and both are about tanks.

This could be true if gold boxes still dropped the way they used to - exactly every time the fund gets up to 700(0) crystals and in the same spot every time. Now, the gold boxes drop in different locations, so skill and experience won't give you an advantage when the gold box drops on the other side of the map from where you are expecting it.

A good strategy for damaging freezes in that spot too.

Kind of, but not really... Skill should be measured in % of all potential gold boxes taken. A player that has seen 100 gold boxes and caught 90 is more skilled than one that has seen 3000 and caught 200. If the latter describes lukey0 or JackN1 then they simply invest a lot of time into the game, therefore end up encountering more gold boxes.

I strongly disagree. Have you ever been in a random generalissimos only battle?

A potato hopefully. Potatoes are love, potatoes are life.

Erm, micro-upgrades? How is Savanna not replaceable if you can buy Needle with similar, but more powerful protection?

Why only three? Is the topic unfinished? Anyway, one more point you should include for Isida. When you attack with an isiad healing you from behind, you need to take care to protect your isida from non-penetrating guns (smoky, twins, thunder, isida, ricochet). When you are fighting with another tank, the more experienced players will try to shot the isida that's behind you first and then deal with you if they have HP left. You must try as much as you can to stop the enemy damaging your isida. Push and block them with your tank so that they shoot you instead and the isida heals you, while being safe behind your hull.

Why the dislike? You're not even on the main list

So you buy, buy you're not a buyer? Please define "buyer"

I clicked the spoiler button.

What makes these players popular and great to be friends with? Personally, I recognise none except for trombone_ftw and lordmostafa...

Forgot to change the number to 24

This is an answer ;)

*facepalm*

Question marks exist for a reason...

And why exactly did you feel that it was necessary to create a topic about it?

about time

The general rule is: turret first, hull second. Although you make the decision depending on the sales and amount of crystals you have. In the future if you have any questions regarding in-game purchases, post them in What to buy? Which is better?

The more players you have on a map, the more likely it will be that there will be a violator. It's much easier to collect 4 adequate players in one 2 vs. 2 battle than to control 12 players on a large map. With larger battles you should either organise closed battles with friends or deal with the fact that some people don't follow rules exactly.

The whole point of this update was to make gameplay more interesting AND to balance out the heavy hulls, because before they were way too OP. It's still possible to play and win with heavy hulls, but it is now more difficult because lighter hulls became more threatening enemies, which is right. As for the battles with high ranks - just don't enter them until you have all M3. It was always recommended to find a battle where you are the highest rank, but even more so after the new update.

It's easy to get crystals, but you also get experience points as you win battles. To be able to comfortably play at your current rank and be competitive it's sometimes useful to spend some real money to get a kit or 1000 supplies. Think about it this way: Tanki Online is your hobby, your choice of leisure where you like to relax in your free time. It's not enjoyable to get frustrated when you can't beat others in games, so you can spent some real money to make the experience better for yourself. It's similar to when you like to go to the beach and you buy an umbrella and sunbed to make it more comfortable...
