I've been refreshing for the past hour. I don't think it works. ^_^

Right now. You just need to be lucky. ;)

Not if you Micro upgrade the health, even once. ;) That's why it is worth the wait to Colonel to get it.

One of the reasons why people choose Viking over Hunter is because of its stability. When I use Hunter and go up against Vulcans they end up spinning the Hunter around easily, like it was made of paper. These are M3s / M4s I'm referring to. Also with Smoky it is impossible to knock a Vulcan's aim off, which was one of the key features of Smoky.

You know what they say. If you can't beat em, join em. ;) But be careful because there are a lot of Twins protection paints these days.

At M2 it is great if you Micro upgrade the health, otherwise you will be outclassed by Viking M2. I use it with Twins. :) Dictator is a bit slow for short-range weapons like Fire and Freeze, unless you stick to Polygon or other smaller maps. But it's good that you also have a fast hull too. Now you just need a longer range gun. ;)

All weapons are good in their own right. Rico and Fire are outclassed by Smoky when the range is over 80 meters. Vulcan, well it takes a bit of dodging and hiding, but two or three Smokies could easily overpower it.

Does Dictator M3 go well with Smoky M3? I was considering either that or Titan M3 for my larger account. I'm thinking Dictator because of the slightly faster speed and greater over-reach (I have a problem with Smoky shooting my own teammates if they're infront of me), not to mention the huge health and gold-catching ability.

So it's not dependent on the server update or anything like that, just keep refreshing and you get it? I have a feeling this will soon be removed due to "negative effect on economy." -_-

More importantly, why isn't there actually the question "Do you prefer Hornet or Wasp?"

I think the article is confusing a lot of players I notice. It should be made clear that there is only a small chance to actually get a test drive when you enter the game.

So is there a chance for a test drive every single time you reload the page, or is it a select chance every day after server update, or some other system?

Very nice. And people were complaining about the recent discounts. Hopefully this will change some minds. ;)

At your rank M2 is grossly underpowered, but at M3 with even a few MUs and it's great, I have it on another account. :) Personally I have a bit more fun with Smoky, since there's no need to run away in fear after you've expended your 3 shots.

Who else is annoyed when people (sometimes intentionally) misspell Vulcan's name? Valcan, Vulkan, Vulcun, Vulkanis, Volcano, Falcon, Vulgan, one time I even saw a "Volvo" (okay not really) Still not as bad as Ricochet though.

Slightly underpowered at M3, being overshadowed by the strength and sheer popularity of Viking. Boxy shape and low weight makes it less stable and easily pushed around by Vulcan and other heavy hitters. MU that health and weight quickly or don't expect to survive long in the heat of Polygon or Noise without at least some heavy resistance paints and/or Double Armors. Those are the only cons I can think of. Fun to use with Hammer :)

Tanki developers have stated that the game can only go forward. Even if it is straight off a cliff.

Welcome back! I suggest having a look at this topic. Start off from about the point where you left, you'll get a simple overview of all the changes that's happened since then.

Have you tried clearing your cache?

At first I thought the problem is directly related to FPS since it seems to get worse with lag spikes. But I found the control delays happen even during good FPS (50+). It's becoming very annoying at this point. I hope the problem is addressed soon.

That's because you are at the rank that Isida M1 unlocks. :) So the game automatically offers M1 to you, so you don't have to buy M0 as well.

Agreed. Mouse Controls have a lot of potential, but sadly is neglected and faces the problems that I described above. If devs simply fixed issues with brown screen and controls delays and turning speed (mouse sensitivity option would be amazing) then I might say it would be the better way of playing. I have other uneccessary programs turned off while playing Tanki. I will continue using mouse controls but now and then I'm still forced to go back to keyboard because of the problems! :wacko:

Problem is not fixed... 1. Alternate Camera disabled. 2. Switching on and off does nothing. 3. I use Firefox.

That might be it but I'm not sure. I have an AMD A6-5200 2.0 GHz and 4.0 GB RAM. So it should be enough to run Tanki with all graphics settings off, at least according to systems requirements page.

Hi everyone, I've recently started using mouse controls ever since getting a keyboard that wouldn't allow me to turn and shoot at the same time, and to my surprise I've taken a bit of a liking to the mouse controls. However a big problem is turning me off it at the moment, it's a problem with delays in turning the turret when moving the mouse. What I mean is, when using the mouse controls, sometimes the turret (and a lot of times even the whole tank) refuses to move, until about a second or two later...and by then I'm already dead! The problem is very obvious when FPS spikes or gets below ~30. I know mouse controls gets a lot of hate, this might be one of the reasons why. Along with the fact that it's very slow to turn! It could use a lot of optimisations. I use Firefox. I've tried this on several other browsers too, and including the standalone version, and the problem persists. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration but that just makes the problem far worse. And yes, I've cleared my caches, multiple times. What could it be?
