  1. Then please answer, why aren't we told about that battle fund were multiplied by 7 not 10 but instead we were told that "all parameters regarding crystals were multiplied by 10"? Is there something they don't want us to know? I'm quite suspicious of that.

    Behind the recent updates

    I am filled with disgust after reading these words: Vladimir Kovtuns statement from Russian tanki forum: Basically it means: (google translated) If this does not reveal the devs' avaricious plan, then I don't know what will. If this is TOL devs' true intention; then my fellow tanksmen, don't count on future updates. Surprisingly, their "well thought" scheme didn't deceive most of us. That's why they are going to experience a "fiscal cliff" in their revenue. Ultimately to an extent when the game is no longer profitable, when either another operator takes over or unfortunately, tanki goes out of business. Why tanki? Why would you deceive us while being frank to your "comrades", who sure felt the way as we did? Why would you give funds to those who just idles around while taking it away from those who actually deserves it? Yes, every player should be "encouraged"; but they should be only for their actions. Why take arbitrary decisions on your loyal players who are your only source of income? Why silence players who actually intended to correct the mistakes you've made and make this game better? And lastly why couldn't you just explain your true intention frankly to us, instead of deceiving us with your already revealed scheme? I hope these questions to be answered. Think twice before you alienate your loyal supporters, tanki.

    Good sense of humor

    The education board of Indiana set pi to 3 instead of 3.1415926535… that was once upon a long time...lol. And in the state of New York it's illegal to drink coffee when you are pregnant!

    Railgun-a comprehensive review and guide

    Railgun is, and has always been my favorite gun of all times. High damage and ability to penetrate several tanks lined up are just a few characteristics that have made it one of the most dangerous weapons out in the battlefield. (My personal experience with railgun was, at my rank 3 shot is enough to kill just about everything, even at m1) But strong recoil, firing delay and slow reloading and rotating rate also have made it a real challenge to master. Now let's look at the pros and cons: Pros: Very high damage Ability to penetrate multiple targets No damage reduction as distance increases High damage is definitely something you want to take advantage of, with the ability to finish off your targets in a few shot you can deal enormous amount of damage without being exposed to the crossfire for too long or easily steal a kill. Now here comes the tricky part, with the special ability of penetrating multiple targets you could kill two bird with one stone(once upon a time I've killed 3 camping shafts with an isida in silence, 4 in 1! *true story*). Sharpen your eyes and look for opportunities to line up your targets, or you could trick them into formation.(instance being, damage or make your teammates damage a tank that is close to an isida so you could kill both while the isida is healing him. Act fast though, as opportunities like this won't last!) Keep in mind that the amount of damage will be reduced by half for each tank it passes, so you might want to arrange them so the tank has most health receives most damage. Always keep track of your opponents so you can give a rough estimate of their health. And a huge advantage over your thunder and smoky cousins, there's no damage reduction as distance increases. So at a distance that is long enough, you can still brutally damage your opponents while receiving minimal(or even almost negligible)damage from guns mentioned above. Cons: Delayed firing Strong recoil Slow reloading rate Slow rotating rate Visible traces(rays) Delayed firing is a major annoyance to overcome, it make you noticeable and one blow of a shell could make you miss. The delay last approximately a second, so you have to plan ahead when to shoot. Now to make you less noticeable and less vulnerable to blows, you will need a place to hide. Just wait when your gun is reloaded, press space just before your gun actually fires and reveal yourself... Timing is the key, and the only way to perfect your timing is practice practice practice(what makes perfect). Strong recoil is not much of a problem unless you mounted it on a light tank. Sure it's fast and fun but unless you are highly skilled try to avoid this combination, as it will result in lying upside down or on your side. Either way will make you vulnerable and immobilized, despite that you can fire at the ground and flip upright. Slow reloading rate is another major disadvantage of railgun, during reloading you will be vulnerable especially to rapid firing and close range weapons. To overcome this, either hide in a shelter or be on the move while reloading. Every shot counts, so try not to waste any. Just take your time so you can take an accurate shot without wasting your time and giving away your position due to missed shots. Treat your vantage points as your toothbrush, change it regularly and never share it as this will give away your position. I view slow rotating rate of the turret as an advantage rather than a disadvantage, it allows you to take your time and aim precisely with ease. Except in case of being frozen, in this case you can turn your turret and tank for a faster turning speed. Many junior railgun users don't realize the potential danger and threat it holds in the trace, or ray of the shot.(for this reason I felt railgun should be renamed raygun instead) It gives away your position as well as your stealth, so be on the move when you have fired a shot! Verdict: For some, railgun turns into a deadly instrument of destruction in their hands; but on the other side it's quite the opposite. Just relax and practice, it's something you can master. But keep in mind unlike twins and other fool proof weapons where all you have to do is hold space and "BOOM", railgun requires precise aiming and timing to a extreme degree. To me, railgun is the weapon that requires most skill and practice in this game; in turn it's one of the deadliest guns when used with such.

    What to buy? What to use?

    Would it be a good investment to buy m1 rail if you want to upgrade to m2 later as your primary weapon? PS: Before rebalance I'm a rail expert, but I kinda suck at twins... though it doesn't require much skill.

    Homework Help!

    What to buy? What to use?

    So I have 3k old cry, for this price I can get either m1 rail or twins. Both are decent choices but which one should get?
  12. Notchfan

    What to buy? What to use?

    Also, is shaft and Viking still worth buying?
  13. Notchfan

    What to buy? What to use?

    A simple question, railgun m2 or thunder m2?

    Read this REBALANCE HATERS !

    What 123 did is x10 the prices that was already set in rebalance, plus apparently reduced drop and fund increase rate.

    Read this REBALANCE HATERS !

    Just look at the scrambled prices, this is not the way the rebalance should be done. Whoever set these prices must have had wayyy to much vodka.

  17. My wish list: Supplies removed. Lol Dcc removed. Free no supplies battle. "Rebalance" rebalanced. 1000xp package removed. Hall of games re added.

    Mystery boxes!

    It's like a gamble, if you got blown up that's too bad :(
  21. say if you don't like it, you can return it within a day or so... but don't think they'll do that.Reason being that if you bought freeze but you don't have enough for rail, well what some people would do is they would sell freeze to get rail later they can switch to freeze again back and fro without spending a penny.

    Farewell, my tanksmen.

    Basically it means: Let's order, gentlemen. The first topic of this topic, I wrote that earnings crystals aligned with the current economic system of the game. Simply put, this means that we have returned to the level of the figure, as it was to rebalance. More: Up to rebalance weapons to rank price was calculated in such a way that the average player can attain the level at Marshall [27] buy one set of weapons grade M3 (second line) is not making the game real money. During rebalance, we have decided not to raise prices, and lower them to a state of reduced earnings. I will try to demonstrate. At 14 rank to rebalance things you meet that cost ~ 20,000 crystals. While maintaining the trend increase in the price of the thing, then rebalance you would see a 30 rank for the price of not less than 100,000 crystals. However, now the average price of 30 things rank is about 25,000 crystals. Total, by the end of the game, the average tanker could afford to buy two or even three sets of weapons grade M3. Just because the volume to the last rank takes a long time, so for anything you can accumulate, while typing experience points. Generally, this means a logical and final closure of the project due to the fact that servers have become just what, actually like to hold contests, and so on, because we have placed the total Free2Play. We do not want that, because in 2013 the "Tanks Online" a lot of strategic plans. On the other hand, we did not want to lose the active audience. Based on the above calculations and was made ​​a difficult decision. If you take a careful reading of what I wrote, you will understand the purpose of these changes. Of course, I read the whole forum and follow the developments. Then suggest to communicate in a more civilized, comrades.
