    Looking For Brave Players

    Details please? When do you play? What type of battles? How do you assemble the members?
  3. CP is less interesting compared to CTF. In CTF you can use strategy, stealth, teamwork, tank maneuvering skill etc. to win the flags. In CP the only deciding factor is how strong your tanks are compared to the other team. It's like a TDM match, but with a physical goal on the map. Meh...

    New XP server

    This is the first time I hear about the separation. Are you sure this is true? I was playing on Russian servers today and encountered quite a few English speaking players... Upd. Just checked the main page. It is indeed separated! o_O So if you enter these servers the only thing different will be the chat (in the server's language), or does the interface change too? Upd. OK, just logged on to an English server. Everything is still the same, except for the server name on the main page. What's the point?

    New XP server

    It would be more correct to call them "HR" battles. They are PRO battles on Sandbox (sometimes Bridges, Red Alert, Parma, Barda), where players agree to use only Hornet + Railgun and only certain protection levels in paints. It is usually a game mode for more experienced players and the battles turn out to be more interesting and fair. The main topic about them is here

    Tanki Online Browser Logo

    I know that. The point is that the logo was created when the game was first made and when it was made, the starter tank was Wasp Smokey, therefore it is logical that the logo shows a Wasp Smokey.

    Most loved weapon by boys and girls in tanki

    + The girl club on the Russian forum mostly plays with Hornet + Railgun (which is not that unique...)

    Your first M3?

    Viking M3 on Major. In the good ol' days, when Viking-Ricochets ruled the maps, I just about collected enough crystals to buy the M3 during a sale in may (victory day on the 9th) and had some fun with it until the re-balance in autumn. Then played on M2 again for a year and bought Hornet M3 in September and Viking M3 in winter. Still waiting for Commander to get Fire and Rico M3

    Best Paints For Camouflage

    Prodigy - for stone, concrete and road Forester/Green/Needle - for green maps with foliage. Dragon, Rock, Sandstone - for sand, desert maps IMHO, the camouflage in this game is only a theory. In practice everyone is constantly moving and shooting, besides the excessive metal plating on higher grades reduces the paint coverage and exposes the tank. The camouflage may save you every once in a while where a shaft or railgun doesn't notice you on the other side of the map and doesn't shoot, but you should definitely prioritise on the protection that you want, rather than the colour. I do, however, think that the brightest paints (Inferno, Lava) make you stand out more, so in DM people will target you more.

    Let's Discuss PRO Battles

    I too thought that PRO battles were really expensive. They're not. First of all, when you enter a normal battle, it is likely that you will have to use supplies. You pay for a normal battle with supplies, but you pay for a PRO battle with crystals. In fact, it's not wise to enter PRO battles for 500 cry if you play them regularly. If you play more than 10 PRO's per month is is already cheaper to buy the PRO month pass and have access to battles for the whole month! That also means that if you don't like a battle you entered, you don't have to feel bad about leaving, because you can enter an unlimited number of battles without paying for each one. As for the ranks, it isn't that easy to find a suitable PRO battle for someone without an M3 M3 tank, however if you are fairly skilled and have a good paint, you can try and play a PRO battle on a large map with Generalissimos. The battle fund will increase at a greater rate (compared to a lower rank battle) and you can improve your skills by watching. Personally I played these battles on my other account, a Colonel, with hornet+isida M2 in savanna (M2 light tank kit). That way it was easy to be a helpful player, although you really do have to know how to use your isida effectively. If you play XP PRO battles, it's even easier to find a good battle, due to a vast amount of players creating XP battles for M2 Hornet-railguns. Or you can always play with M2 against M3, if you are good enough.I too thought that PRO battles were really expensive. They're not.
  20. This reminds me of the same thing that happened with Ricochet after "re-balancing". Some players abandoned their favourite gun and switched to the OP smoky and twins, but the more dedicated ones created a club and played in private battles against other ricochets, so that the chances would be equal. Now, however, Rico is powerful again and there is no need to isolate ourselves from other guns. Ricochet fans are out in the battlefield again, wrecking everyone and everything, while the club battles are no more. Relating this ti the topic, Railgun is not underpowered, but very difficult to use (perhaps THE most complex gun the requires the most skill for best results). Most players don't know how to deal with knockback guns that constantly ruin the aim and in drug battles the Railgun is fairly useless due to the way it shoots. It's common that when you try to shoot an enemy, someone kills them while your shot is warming up and you end up wasting it. Same goes for finishing off an almost dead tank: yes, you got the kill, but most of the damage was wasted and thus you are not helping your team as much as you could. This is why twins and smoky are the best for drugging - easy to switch between targets and missing a shot is not that big of a setback. With that logic, it's not surprising that railgun fans isolate themselves, because HR vs HR battles are the only place where you can really use your skill with railgun to your full potential.
