This has been covered many times before in this forum yet people fail to search before posting or are ignorant. You may be able to get some elements of tanki to work on some flash enabled phones/tablets but there will be NO mobile version of tanki on the flash platform. The reason being that Adobe have discontinued development for flash for mobile devices and they did this about a year ago. There will be NO new flash updates for android/windows or any other mobile platform. I cannot see the tanki devs recoding the whole game in a new format just so you can play it on an inferior sized screen. Case Closed! Continue to carry on this discussion but to be honest.... it will be fruitless!

To all those 'ignorant' enough to still keep asking "why doesn't it work for me?". You have either not enabled hardware acceleration on flash or your graphics card is too basic to have graphics hardware acceleration (which is required for the extended settings options). If your graphics card does not support hardware acceleration you WILL NOT get the extra effects options. It has nothing at all to do with Java which has been suggested as this is not a 'java' game but a 'flash' game (if you haven't gathered that by now). Want the extra graphics options? Get a pc/laptop with a decent graphics processor or upgrade your existing graphics. Ignorance is bliss..... Knowledge is power!

the update 133 is as follows (as translated). 2 parts to it 1- map changes. 2- Track dust effect on tank Hello. Today's servers are derived finalized maps: Bard, Boombox, Bridges, Sandbox * Fixed some graphical errors (small offset bushes, grasses, etc.) Bobruisk * Added a winter version of the map * Fixed some graphical errors (small offset bushes, grasses, etc.) * Simplifying the passage to the left of the base of blue * Improved geometry of the wall behind the tower on a blue base * Fixed location rep in team battles * Village at the base of blue moved closer to the wall (layout of the base blue team) * Simplified design right of the red base. Expanded space "in the city" * Reduced the central hole ---------------------- >>>>>>They have seriously changed bobruisk. No alleys, holes gone, more space. Its gonna be the new Silence 2 I tell ya! ---------------------- Hill * Added a winter version of the map * Added gold and kits * Fixed location of bushes and drop I'll meet you on the battlefield! Dear tankers. We present to you an update 133 "Tanks Online"! The game has a new spell effect. Now out of the caterpillars of tanks flying dust. You can see it, if your computer supports hardware accelerated graphics. Dust on and off in conjunction with the "soft particles". Experience the new features and get back to this topic to share your opinion with other tank crews.

It will probably never happen. Unless they are planning on using a different platform to Adobe Flash, it will not happen because Adobe have stopped developing flash for mobile platforms. Adobe will not be creating any further updates or providing support for android/mobile versions of flash. Seeing as the mobile version was in development before Adobe made and implemented this decision, one can only conclude that the mobile project is on hold or has been scrubbed. HTML5 games are taking over where flash has failed in a lot of cases. Adobe are still updating and supporting desktop versions of flash, but Tanki needs to get with the winds of change unless they want to be left out in the cold or out of business when Adobe change direction again with Flash in general.

Sorry but I gotta laugh! Most amusement i've got out of the forum yet. Keep those videos coming cheap! It's like watching the Dukes of Hazard all over again! You gotta be Boss Hogg's long lost twin!

To those who used to love ricochet pre-rebalance, and noticed how nerfed it now is against the other weapons, maybe this will explain why. I was taking a look at the 'supposed' statistics for the weapon in the garage and in particular the shots per second. The 'claimed' shots per second didn't seem to ring true to me so I though the only way to know is to test it. I have it currently at M2 which is supposed to have a Shots per minute rate of 109.1 (or thereabouts). I tested it for real against the clock using 2 methods and here are the results. Method 1: rapid fire/recharge/rapid fire - result = 50 shots per minute. Method 2: fire on constant hold (no recharge) = 52 shots per minute. Conclusion.... either they just make up the statistics that are supposed to educate us in the supposed 'balance' between different weapons or, they did intend to make it fire at the advertised rate. Let's be honest...... If it did fire at 109.1 shots per minute it would be more in balance and a lot of former rico owners would once again have their weapon of pride (and much fun) back. Dev's ..... either give us the advertised stats for the weapons we choose or get your 'facts' (ahem...rofl) correct.

You could buy a REAL (vintage) tank for that! If I did, I know where my guns would be aimed at! Tanki HQ can you hear the shells coming at you?

Tanki only moves forwards????? NO! They move sideways like a crab, always sidestepping the real issues and complaints that their game playing community bring up. How can they develop a game for the people if they ignore the people? They know that this game is dying a quick death. It has surpassed its saturation point and they are doing all these changes to extract as much money as they can in what little time they have left before nobody can be bothered with them anymore and leaves for pastures new. Shame, seeing as they had a good base 'gaming' model but their development inexperience has now left them and their investors greedy. I appreciate that any game like this takes investment to build, maintain and improve it but whats the point in flogging a dead horse? The death of tanki is blood on their own hands! GIve it time and the word on the street will be "do you remember that game called tanki?".

There is a nightly server update at the same time each night. This is supposedly to reset the servers to keep them from filling up. Imagine the same idea as emptying your cache but on a grander scale. Or.... It could it be because they are running ancient 'cold war' technology that cannot handle server queues properly (as russians have always had a thing about long queues), they have to employ a couple of monkeys from the Moscow Zoo to physically fan the servers to stop them from going defcon1. I feel sorry for the monkeys... they pay them peanuts! ;)

Farcical already. Regardless of what I think of my own picture compared to other entrants, this competition goes to prove it is not a contest of talent and humour but a contest of popularity amongst the tanki community and how many friends one has got on here. Not naming names but so far..... most of the highest voted entries are the most humourless, repetetive, unoriginal, unskilled and talentless submissions here.

For those who can not see the extended options in the settings.... Your graphics card does not support hardware acceleration! Sadly I feel that the majority of users are running desktops & laptops that are a couple of years old or even more (or new budget machines with standard graphics cards). These are the users that Tanki Devs SHOULD be using as a benchmark for gameplay and not just those with high end gaming desktops or the few gaming laptops that support high end graphics (that cost over a $/£1000 a pop). Tanki appear to be steamrolling ahead and alienating the majority of users by working towards accelerated graphics usage. If this was a single purchase retail PC or Console game then that is the way it usually works. They are ignoring the principle ideals of browser based gaming which is to use the lowest common denominator to enable the largest number of users the smoothest gaming experience (amongst other things). They have headed down the wrong path for the majority of users and sadly until they take a sidestep and re-evaluate their development plan, the majority of us are going to be stuck with the problems we currently experience and worse beyond. Until change is instigated at the development level, whether that be a partial technical roll-back or something substantial, lag, freeze, reduced fps and impossibly ******ed gameplay is here to stay!

Happy Birthday Miz! All the best!

and here is the inspiration for the latest graphic update!

!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUNKY!!

Ok... So if this is true, I had 26 balloons and got 390 crystals back so why did I only get 1 of each supply total (not 26 of each supply as the head of this post would suggest?).. Once again Tanki fails to deliver the promised goods! Didn't even get my crystals for winning a battle yesterday! EPIC FAIL!!!

BAITED BREATH :shock:

It would appear that their deployment method of these crystals (alongside daily bonus) failed to take into account the many of us who logged on and received our normal daily bonus before that last long server reset which was obviously used by them to implement this crystal distribution. EPIC FAIL!!!

I sent Bruce a PM to see if he can shed any light on this? In this case it would seem that all us 'Early Birds' did not catch any 'Worms'!

Did not receive any extra crystals for my main account. Logged into my sons account and he got his extra crystals and also on my secondary account. Seems like some of us who logged in between the start of the new day and the last server reset arent getting anything due to a programmers oversight. Please sort it out otherwise its still unfair!
