To encourage purchase of special skins in order to stand out, obviously. But like I said - there should be more "budget" cosmetic options, meaning either old M0-M2 skins re-introduced for crystals, or brand new tank add-ons like side skirts and bumpers which could still be overpriced (under 1000tk), but at the same time affordable since they only change a small part of your tank, rather than the whole exterior.

Unfortunately this is required for the record, hence why some of the records have minimum rank limits in order to apply for them. This is because some records are incredibly easy to beat at the lowest ranks, making the record itself meaningless.

Why specifically in an event?

Unlikely. The RU forum has been updated since 2017 and they haven't added this functionality.

I hope they're make the M0-M2 skins available for crystals like how it was in Tanki X. I get that they're cosmetic items not needed for gameplay, but I really doubt there would be a lot of real-money buyers for lame low grade skins. Quite a few people would want to buy them for crystals though.

Defender is balanced :x

When a topic gets merged, it means the suggestion is either identical or very similar. The topic was already forwarded to developers in one of the earlier reports.

You need all 8 people to cooperate. Can't have more than 3 in a group. So you'd have to either somehow get a bunch of your friends to click at the same time and hope to fill a team, or end up with just the right kind of random teammates.

@DieselPlatinum @TheCongoSpider @Potdindy @Retaliate Congo spider is right, these records are broken ONLY with Dictator and Mechanic drone combo. Nothing to do with hacks or Driver drone. Mechanic at full MU actually has larger range than Dic's overdrive, and overall gives more points per minute, so Dictator is just an added bonus. However, both are necessary to get over 2000 points. Assuming 100% efficiency, you can activate Mechanic once every 10 seconds, and you can probably activate OD once every 30 seconds. So assuming all 7 teammates are in range when you use it, that's (10*7*3)+(25*7) = 210+175 = 385 points in 30 seconds. Now, at that point you wouldn't be able to speed up the repair kit's recharge because you cannot activate your own supplies (since you just used your OD), so at that point it's actually more efficient to self-destruct and start over fresh, despite the 10 point penalty. Since respawning also takes around 10 seconds, you can basically continue the process non-stop over and over for the whole 7 minutes, therefore the potential highest score in 7 minutes is around 5300, to which you could also add bonus points from capturing bases and getting kills. Obviously this kind of record requires incredible levels of coordination from teammates and complete incompetency of the enemy, so around 3000 is a reasonable amount for a record with favourable conditions in a normal MM game.

Actually, the majority of income comes from people who occasionally spend only small amounts of money on little things like special offers, battle pass, a few coinboxes, etc. The major OP buyers may be spending a lot, but they are so rare that the income from them is insignificant compared to the general masses.

Is there a way to sort by post count though? ? Nvm apparently I don't know how to scroll. Also yay, I finally... win?

Alright, I stand corrected.

Nah, I think that one was literal invulnerability, like Mammoth OD before the nerf.

Since the game experiences balance updates fairly often, there is never a single "best" turret and hull. It also depends on the player's own preference and play style, which is why you don't see everyone playing the same universally best combo all the time. We have plenty of topics where you can discuss equipment, so please use those for discussions like this: Let's discuss turrets and hulls Let's discuss equipment combos What to buy? Which is better? Closed

Yes. When I was using the module, I could have the whole enemy team shooting at me and it barely did any damage. Even multiple Vikings with overdrive would take out maybe 30% of my health. But a single Hornet with OD could easily destroy me. A Shaft+Hornet with Booster can literally one-shot a juggernaut with the god module. The only thing that helps is lifesaver drone.

Especially considering that it completely breaks the whole idea of Godmode_ON and things like "mutant snowmen" events, since Hornet's OD can just casually ignore the "godly" 99% protection module ?

From what I understand, if the mines belong to you or your teammate, then they all load simultaneously. And since mines are multi-polygon models, having thousands of them rendering and processing at once does impose huge loads onto the system. For enemy mines though it works much better since only nearby mines are visible. You can still get lag and FPS drops though if hundreds of mines are placed in a small area next to you, causing them all to be rendered. Ideally the game should me more efficient at dealing with large amounts of polygons and only render what's necessary, but in reality such issues only happen in public parkour battles or special events like mine labyrinths, so it's definitely not worth rebuilding the whole game engine for the sake of such a specific issue. Although it will definitely become relevant if they keep increasing the number of polygons with these Ultra skins.

Tag colours finally updated, so they're back to pretty much what they were before the forum update.

Perhaps you missed the update but mechanic recently got a huge buff and now gives massive amounts of score for using it with teammates nearby. Also has a feature where it instantly reloads by activating other supplies, and combined with dictator it's possible to get thousands of score in 7 minute battles. It's nice that it gives score now but the amount is extremely unbalanced.

Defender is OP now compared to other drones (besides Mechanic of course), so it's no surprise people use it. I'm sure it will get a nerf in the next balance update.

It's probably because people choose protection over damage, which is a bit strange because it's typically the other way around. But if you think about it, every kind of protection in Tanki has a corresponding countermeasure that increases damage: Defender drone - Booster drone Modules - Hornet's overdrive Viking's overdrive - Titan's overdrive Repair kit - hunter's overdrive So overall I don't think camping and fat hulls are particularly powerful these days. You can deal with them quite easily if you use the right equipment. Being able to afford and use it though - that's another story.

We tried to make our own christmas tree during the photoshoot ?

Yeah, I'd be impressed if someone managed to get 8 low rank friends to each buy a PRO pass in order to set this up in a private battle. I might as well give them the record regardless, because it's either an impressive coincidence in MM, or way too much effort to fake something like that ?

Perhaps
