Nobody wanted to come to my rank up party. So I celebrated alone...with some Russian strangers. :D At least they were nice enough to tell me "pozdr"!

My first container!!!

Let's answer your question with a little scenario. Imagine it. You've spent hours working up that battle fund. You're first place on your team. With this winning fund you'd be able to afford that upgrade you've always wanted. The enemy team is mostly empty, most of them ran away due to skilled teamwork of your team. Suddenly, they start to join. You can recognize them by the ALL CAPS and U_n_d_e_r_s_c_o_r_e_s in their name. You merely have to glance at their profiles to know they're well-trained, top ratios with all m4s and hundreds of thousands of supplies used. It's then you finally know that you're being raided. In the span of 5 minutes, they managed to capture all the flags to close the wide gap that you've spent hours preparing. You look to your team and you see that they're strangely silent, they're not playing at that 100% capacity that you've seen them just a few minutes ago. They seem to be content at watching everything they've worked towards collapse right in front of them. No amount of cries of "mult" and /vote will do anything, you're just one tanker floating in a raging sea of apathy. Congratulations! You've just been played. This nightmare scenario is all too common in Generalissimo ranks, but slowly this tactic is starting to creep down to the lower ranks. Even at my rank (Captain) I've started seeing more and more of this. Who can call it balance when your team has no chance to fight against an enemy of all top-tier kits? This, dear @avatarkyoshi, is the epitome of "unfair."

Forget the golds! Finally I can (somewhat) afford those micro upgrades! :lol:

Because this is what Tanki considers "Balanced."

Yes I never understood why all the other M2 hulls get a nice ring of metal around them, and some headlights, but the Wasp gets nothing but a tiny square of armor added to the treads. Makes it hard to tell the difference from M1 to M2, unless you look at the Wasp from the rear (M2 has that grey back plate). For the price you pay for it, it sure isn't worth the looks.

Once M2 Hornet unlocks, Wasp loses some of its effectiveness. But like the player above me said, a few MUs and a skilled driver will negate that. Once you get closer to the M3 ranks however, things become a little different.

Even with protection paints (30+%) this gun is a nightmare, and not only because of the huge impact at long distances. With groups of 2 or 3 drugged M3 Vulcans it can be hard to do anything at all when you get mowed down in seconds!

Agreed. This topic was made back when you had to take multiple screenshots or video in order to show people your garage; now all it takes is to click a Profile button and it's all available. Other than sheer novelty, and mostly to brag, there's really no use for this topic anymore. It belongs in the Archive now!

My first one, on my bigger account. And hopefully many more to come. :)

I seriously hope you are joking. One of these reasons: Isida takes the role of healing / nurse, which is traditionally a female-oriented role. Isida-Hornet is often considered the "cutest" combo. A Dictator-Shaft with a bow on it would just look funny. I agree though, there definitely needs to be some variation on the "female" tanks, every year it's the same Isida-Hornet. Let's try something different next year, Tanki!

You should seen some of the contestants in the very first Russian Mrs. Tanki contest. Some of them were DEFINITELY not family friendly! And the thing is, you certainly won't see this in the boys' contest; because they don't rely on their body to win! It makes me sad for my gender sometimes. I'm thinking it would be a little less biased if some of the developers (or whoever chooses the winners) are women. Also if you guys are having a hard time understanding what she is saying in the PRO's advice, I suggest turning on Closed Captioning. ;)

She even has a mini Smoky-Wasp on her desk! Now I really want Toy Tanks to become a reality!! :( I'm so jealous. Toy Tank

Thank goodness ^_^ And people say devs don't listen to us!

They never mentioned speedups, so I'm assuming they remain the same price. But it's not all that bad, considering that speed-ups used to be far, far more expensive than the upgrades. As for the Russia-vs-International, I'm inclined to vote Russia for the home field advantage, but the International community have surprised us a lot lately. :ph34r: It's a tough choice!

This is exactly why admins exist - so they can bring accountability to every moderator's decision, which does in fact require a body of proof (beyond just looking at the name and thinking, oh he has bad karma, let's just ban him). There is no such thing as a ban for nothing. And if you dispute a ban, you DEFINITELY need to message an admin so he or she can review that mod's actions.

It will be pretty hard to complete a mission chain when you have missions like these!

Thank you. The problem is very prevalent, especially in the RU servers, where most of the high rank players flock to. It's been facing a lot of crashes and lost funds lately, most of us are getting sick of it. Glad to see it's officially getting some attention! Edit: I also happen to notice that, regardless of which server I play on, number of fatal errors and "connection closed" during loading has gone up. I also notice that FPS spikes are more common (but that's probably just my own machine :ph34r: ). Spinning tanks are getting as common as they were in 2012, which is obviously not good. Hopefully devs are able to alleviate the problem somehow.

I wish we had Toy Tanks in real life. :(

Having played since 2011, it's amazing to me how far Tanki has come, graphics wise. Comparing the Tanki I used to play, to the upcoming Tanki X, it's like comparing old Nintendo 64 game to modern Playstation 4 game! Here's what I mean. Evolution of Firebird and Dictator Past Present FUTURE I still miss the blue fire though...

Reducing ranks, will do little to solve the multing problem. In fact, it will divide players even further, when generalissimos can no longer invite their friends to battle, or vice versa. Most of the mults in high rank battles are, just that, high ranks (often fieldmarshal or even higher). Want to restrict all generalissimo battles to generalissimo only?

Really? I asked a mod the same question and he gave me the answer "For security purposes, we cannot tell you." But it leads me to an obvious conclusion...

The New Years decorations are gone but the special Premium account missions are here to stay, it seems. It was only for the In-Love paint, and if you were buying crystals. Don't expect anything above 25% this year, or you might be disappointed.

Looks like we are getting Premium account hours for free now in daily missions? Great way to entice more tankers to buy even more, I suppose.
