Those kits are definitely not coming back, but if you check the HTML5 shop every 12 hours, you are likely to find a single supply bundle being sold with a decent discount. This is particularly useful for stocking up on repair kits and batteries. But the best approach is, as always, to just wait for a 50% garage sale and buy enough to last you until the next 50% sale.

Wait I changed my mind. #BringBackOldForum

I agree. My thought on this is that Hornet should ignore only one layer of protection completely. Right now I believe there are five types which can all be used simultaneously: Module, Double Armour, Defender drone, Titan's shield, spawn protection. Hornet's OD should completely ignore the most effective protection (e.g. 100% spawn protection), but then perhaps reduce the second protection layer by 50%, and third by 25%. Or just keep it simple and completely go through one layer but be unable to affect the other layers. That way, a DD Hornet Magnum on OD would be able to one-shot a Viking with DA, a Viking with a 50% module or a Viking under Titan's dome, but it would have to shoot twice to kill a Viking with Defender drone, or a Viking that combines any two of: DA, Module, Titan's dome. I think that would be fair. I think Hornet's counter is the fact that it's a flimsy hull. All it takes is a couple good shots and either you knock off his aim or you just kill it. I think in that regard it's the same as other ODs, where in most situations once you see your opponent activate it, it's possible but very unlikely to react fast enough and counter it.

Why should the team that just lost a point get an even further setback by getting damaged/killed near their base?

Veteran paint was never meant to provide significant protection. The 15% universal protection it was given was only there so that the paint wouldn't be completely useless in battles. Once paints were no longer tied to protections, Veteran players were able to use proper protections while still being able to show off their paint. I agree there that there are too many paints - hardly any of them are recognisable anymore. But this is just due to the sheer number of them available in the game, rather than paints being tied with protections.

You would cancel an amazing convenience update just because it caused you to lose one semi-exclusive item? Come on. That update was a huge improvement to the protections system, and so was the second one that separated modules into single units. I can't even imagine the rage from every single player if today developers suddenly announced that every paint has a set of protections tied to it, so if you want all the protection combos you have to buy ALL the paints ? If I could revert an update, it would probably be drones. Their actual concept is quite interesting, but the price of purchase, upgrades and usage is... something else. The new interface could use a LOT of improvement and it would be nice if it was closer to the one we're used to, but I'll let that one pass considering it's not fully complete yet.

Hi What you most likely saw was a Railgun LC (Legacy) skin, which does indeed look a lot like M0, but does not affect the parameters of the turret. As for smart cooldowns - there are multiple drones which allow activation of two or more supplies at the same time, removing the smart cooldowns. The violations section has been closed a while ago. If someone is offending or bothering you in chat, please block them using /ignore, while if you think someone is breaking gameplay rules, you can use /vote or record a video and report it in the violators section on the Russian forum. You can switch the interface language to English for convenience (if it happens to be set to Russian by default). Closed.

OK, maybe I haven't used Thunder for a while. Or it could also be our different play styles.

Have you tried it? Sledgehammer is insanely powerful, because most combat happens at short-medium range. You just have to play with it as if it were Rico or Hammer, in which case it becomes far superior compared to its other alterations and default settings. The only situation where default Thunder is better than Sledgehammer is at medium range, where Sledgehammer's damage has dropped, but default's hasn't.

Thunder has Sledgehammer, which is effectively increasing its overall damage output. The damage it deals by default is already quite high, so I think adding a damage increasing alt would be rather mundane. Besides, I think at this point any new alterations for existing turrets will mostly consist of interesting new mechanics which will be sold for real money or tankoins.

We don't assign a status (e.g. decined/valid) to topics which will be merged. Sometimes we do add our own comment if we have one, but in this case there's nothing to comment since the idea is very straightforward.

Topics merged Agreed with both. It should also show your own protections and alteration at the bottom (or corner) of the screen like in Flash, since I find myself often checking what I'm protected from at that moment (because I change modules a lot).

I believe you're in the minority here. Most people actually use only one account most of the time, and the Remember Me feature is very useful for them, especially if they are a new user. Nonetheless, having it off by default does make sense because you only need to click it once if you do want your account to be logged into automatically every time after that. Why do you need to change your password though? Can't you just log out and log into another account?

Perhaps you're right, but then there's also 50% Magnum modules, which a lot of people use. Either way the main reason for the removal of the bottom floor was the large amount of false anti-cheat triggers caused by people jumping down.

The real April fools joke is where @Opex-Rah announced 4 years ago that there will never be hull alterations, leading me to decline a bunch of ideas for them. But now it's actually being implemented ?

So I went outside, got arrested, fined for violating quarantine, sent back home. I guess the new adventures and hobbies will have to wait until this whole thing blows over... I'm sure this will come as a massive shock to everyone, but looks like you guys will be stuck with the same old forum team for a while longer. Who would have thought ? Dark Lord Riddler has been dethroned, although somehow I have a feeling that this is not the end of his tyranny. ? moo

Tanki Online does have an anti-cheat system, but cheat developers find a way to get around it. Most of the serious hacks (like teleportation, flying and going through walls) have been blocked, but minor ones still get through. This is because it's very difficult for the anti-cheat to tell the difference between a jump hacker and a lagging player, so making the criteria more strict would result in large amounts of frustrated honest players who lag a little bit and get self-destructed or kicked from battle. Tanki developers continue improving the anti-cheat, but unfortunately there is nothing we, as players, can do to affect it. The most you can do yourself is record a video and report it on the Russian forum. Closed.

Actually he's Emperor Palpatine. Get your Sith lords right!

Don't click me

I was genuinely looking forward to it. this is big sad :c

nice potat

All hail the Supreme Leader @RIDDLER_8 (may his power be eternal)

Dear players In light of the ongoing pandemic and quarantine, together with the forum team we've decided that life is more meaningful than spending all day watching the forum. We wish to pursue other ventures in life, including indulging in new hobbies and learning new skills, all of which takes considerable amounts of time. Therefore it is with great sadness that I'm announcing departure of the whole forum team from the game. On behalf of the forum moderators I would like to thank all of the regular forum users for making the forum an interesting and friendly place; I would like to thank the other helpers for providing their assistance and being good company; I would like to thank the community managers for doing an excellent job at maintaining and improving the community; And I would like to thank the spammers and violators for making our job exciting and unpredictable. We enjoyed interacting with every single one of you and hope to meet you again in the future. Sincerely yours: @Maf @Ninja @Hate @Destrod @AV-Gamers @ControlledChaos @Leur @Thiedes @Mr.Nibbles Our time here has been an amazing experience and I regret none of it. I wish it would last longer, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the best course of action going forwards. We wish you all good luck and fun times in this game as well as in real life! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for the good news ? I am excited to announce that the forum team's new replacement will be none other than @RIDDLER_8 — one of our most renowned forum users as of the past few years. I am confident he will carry on our duties and take great care of the community, as he is capable of far more than I ever could. With his limitless creativity and ultimate desire to transform the project according to his great vision, you are guaranteed to be in form some exciting times in the near future! With that in mind, I believe such a massive forum renaissance deserves a significant reform in the way it is managed, which is why RIDDLER_8 alone is getting the role of Supreme Leader — a well deserved title for someone of his status. I wish him great success in restoring balance in the community! Once again thanks everyone, and see you around :3
