In several cases it is more than two ranks. The Hunter M1/Freeze M2 now unlocks three ranks earlier, at Master Sergeant. Challenger unlocks 3 ranks earlier, I believe, etc. It seems that some of the "OP" kits (either strong combos or the first of their Modification) unlock even earlier, perhaps to encourage further spending?

So it would appear that kits in the shop unlock at least two ranks earlier than in the garage. This seems to have been a recent change, and I can't say that I have found any announcement of it happening. Imagine facing someone with M4 protections, an M4 combo, and an M4 drone at Brigadier. Now combine that with the joys of the MMS, and remember that you could be a WO4 facing that. Anyone else fancy Smoky-Titan M2 at Gefreiter ()? That's right! You can now get your Keeper kit combo an astonishing nineteen ranks before the stock M2s unlock. 500 xp and a credit card can now get you one of the strongest M2 combos. So. Is this the end of free to play? Can anyone ever argue that the game isn't pay to win? For more info, feel free to check the details on the Russian wiki here: https://ru.tankiwiki.com/Комплекты. Other than that, leave your feedback in the comments section below, but please try to keep it civilised :) Edit: I should add that you can now expect to play against M4s as a WO4 in MMS

Unfortunately, I never got to know you, but I hope that you have a wonderful and quiet life outside of TO. Bai o/

Article approved. Wow. Firstly, compared to part 1, this is a huge improvement. Everything that needed improving in that piece has been perfected in this. I love the style, great flow, all of it. Rarely does a story actually get me on the edge of my seat wanting to read more, but this did, and in few words as well. Absolutely can't wait for Part 3! Also, very accurate, I had to make very few changes - far fewer than the last piece. Edits:

Article approved. Part 6 :lol: Lovely continuation of the story - great style, great flow, great content... Can't wait for part 7 :D Your first paragraph was a bit too long, so I tried to split it up. Unlike other pieces, I didn't actually notice any issue. It's just worth noting that if paragraphs are too long, they can be hard to read, and if you have a piece with text walls and one word paragraphs (exaggeration? What's that?), it can look uneven - though this piece didn't suffer from either of those. Edits: Your work is very accurate overall, but I think it could do with one final check at the end. Read it out to a parent, friend (ikr what r those lol), or even a cookie - just read it out loud, you get a much better feel of the flow, and any necessary changes than if you just read it through. This is the first time I've written anything under the Edits spoiler. Cool, huh.

Article approved. Another spooky piece; I like it. You are also learning from my previous comments, which is nice - spelling and grammar was much better in this piece. You do seem to focus on one sentence type, "I did this. I did that. I went here". It gets a bit repetitive after a while, but I'm not really sure what alternative you could go for in this writing style. Edits:

Article approved. An intense, action-filled piece - it has been a while since I've had the joy of reading something of the sort. Loving the medieval theme as well, and the inverse of the classic "good always beats evil" cliché. Just a note, splitting paragraphs with (ideally) a line break, or an indent makes the piece much easier to read. Edits:

Article approved. Interesting continuation to the story. Less content than usual, though what you have is interesting to read. Edits:

Article approved. Your writing has improved significantly in the areas I have mentioned, which is great! Accuracy-wise, all you really need to do is to just go through the piece after finishing, making sure that the spaces are in the right places, making sure there are no spelling mistakes, etc. Try reading the piece aloud to try and get an idea of how it flows. As for content, it is unorthodox, but I like it. Action-packed, full of twists and turns; a good read overall. Edits:

Article Approved. Lovely piece, it manages to go into technical detail while keeping it simple enough that it will hopefully be understandable to all. The idea of inertia also appears in the case of the underground/metro/subway. It uses energy to start a stopped train, and wears out the brakes to stop it. The solution was to raise stations higher than the regular track, so it was uphill into the station, slowing trains down, and downhill out for free acceleration. This is, I believe, the first edit-less piece I have had the joy of proofreading! (It may be the second, after one of Tweemult's.) Fantastic. Edits:

No one would ever try kill the juggernaut though.No one would try to kill anyone for that matter. You reward people who afk with an OP tank and no one trying to kill them? That wouldn't work...

Article approved. To say that this was an improvement on the last would be a massive understatement; part 5 was leagues better than 4. You took all of my points to heart, and so have an excellent piece here that flows, has plenty of story, and is just generally very good. Longer than most of the other parts, but I take that to be a merit, rather than a disadvantage. Can't wait for part 6 :P Also very accurate. Edits:

Article Approved. A good piece, very spooky, though you missed Halloween by a few weeks :P Edits:

Article Approved. Nice to see another of these type pieces, it is always interesting to read about someone else's perspective on the game. I do feel it is a bit short, if you compare it to Lukey's, Maf's, or mine, you might agree. Do you have any memorable battles? What are your thoughts on some of the updates? Favourite/least favourite update? Any contests you've participated and won? How did you discover the forum? Any screenshots? How is your clan doing; who are the people in it? And so on. What you do have, however, is very good, accurate, and pleasurable to read. Ooh, maybe you could turn this into a mini-series :P Edits:

Article Approved. Not bad. An unusual start to a horror story, but I like it. Can't wait for part 2! A few notes on the style: you don't need a line break every 3rd sentence, it makes the piece seem disjointed. Try using paragraphs, splitting things up every 4 lines or so. Also, try to avoid repeating words too much. "The dark felt... dark. 'It's... dark,' I said." Those three can all easily be inferred from from the first. It is better to cut it short and say "It was dark", than to repeat unnecessarily. Alternatively, try words like eerie, creepy, etc. Edits:

Yay. I'm speshul. C:

Ohh thanks for making it legible. As for the content, it is absolutely rubbish. Communism failed for a reason. If you tell me that I can get free crystals just for being in battles, why would I bother trying to play well. One of the main aspects of the game is to try and get enough crystals to get stuff before you rank up too high. If you tell people that they can get full M4s at Lt Gen, and all they have to do is sit in a battle and do nothing? It's very basic economics. If you remove my incentive to work, I'm not gonna work. Secondly, why care about winning if losing is easier. Hence, no competition, and hence the game isn't fun. The limit on crystals is a lot, lot higher than the limit on ranks. And. So. On.

NANI?!

Article Approved. Merovingian? Oeuf, it has been a while since the likes of you was last seen around here :lol: A fantastic piece, excellent variation of tenses to keep it interesting, as well as plenty of content. Very well done. I also liked all the subtle names sprinkled throughout, some more subtle than others - applause to any readers who spot Ninja in there somewhere. Very accurate overall as well. Edits

Article Approved. Beautiful. One of the best pieces I've had the pleasure of editing. Still preferred the story in General 1. Beautifully subtle, saying little, but just enough for the reader to infer exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I have a major issue with the piece. Terrible accuracy. See the spoiler for the astonishingly long list of edits. Edits:

Article Approved. Lovely piece, a good continuation of the story, and it leaves enough loose ends for it to be easily continued. Great job overall! Very accurate too, just a few tiny corrections. Edits:

Article Approved. Aqqqqq <3 Nice piece, loved the thrilling unexpected twist at the end :lol: Full list of edits sent in Discord DM, the main thing to note is that you need to keep tenses consistent. You can't have everything set up in the past, the helpers in the map in the present, and then the link was posted in the past, for example. What happened in the actual event though... You can't leave me on this cliff hanger; I demand a part 2!

The bottom left is a 3D axis to show relative x, y, and z positions/directions. No idea about the numbers. Presumably left in by accident by the devs.

Article approved. Pretty accurate overall, but next time I recommend adding some formatting, pics and the like, to try and break up the text. I have seen better humour, and there really wasn't much story. To be honest, I would expect better, even from a dusty nub like yourself. Wait, this isn't the right place for this.... I was gonna leave a quick "bye" like most, but then I remembered that as a reporter, it is my multworthy duty to wait until the last possible minute and leave a bit of a text wall, so I suppose I should fulfil that. Farewell thee, dear Nives. Regardless of what other people say, I reckon you were the best CM. The weekly raw streams were, if nothing else, great fun to be in, and provided a healthy platform to ask the same question for long enough for you to threaten to steal my phone any questions we might have about future updates and you to give frequent and easy answers. Your continuation of the CM's Office sort of thing from Cedric was fantastic, and I apologise for the wars and anger that have (mostly) been hidden by our forum mods, including cries of "Remove MM", "Give more free stuff plx", and of course the ominous "buff rail plz" that I'm sure will haunt you into your future life. You had the best integration with the community that I have seen from a CM, your PMs were always open (even if the replies were a bit slow from time to time :P), and so I would say were the best. Not to mention the iconic Isida/Viking combo that we will never be allowed to forget ^_^ I have been a helper under your tyrannical reign for an all-too-short period, but 'twas fun while it lasted. I fully respect your decision to leave, but that doesn't mean I'm not sad to see you go. I hope that all of your real life stuff sorts itself out, and that maybe you'll drop in every now and then to see us :lol:, and if so, know that (most of us) we will be waiting here with open arms (and my usual question), ready to welcome you back into the community.

Oki, looks like this mult Flex got to it after I finished editing, mid way thru me writing my "article approved" post gubbins, but lemme pasta it here anyways: Article Approved. Part 4; I've been waiting for this :lol: It is good, but I would say that it seemed slightly empty. Compared to previous parts, not that much happened. The last paragraph is slightly clichéd - "He went to sleep, eagerly awaiting what the next day would bring him.". Negatives out of the way, it is, as usual, fantastically accurate. Edits:
