I feel the need to spam the game chat furiously with "GOLD BILL???" or what was recently described as in one game as "gold nugget".

I will follow this up and report back later. Is it a common occurance that this is due to someone else logging on to your account? EDIT: Performance seems to have improved however I will wait until this evening to give a conclusive result as the connection was usually more unresponsive in the evening. Evening Update: Performance does seem better but have not had the time to play any lengthy games. In addition when I am leaving the game manually rather than being automatically disconnected I'm still getting a warning of low FPS.

Description: Since I returned to tanki a couple of months ago I have received a poor connection and gaming experience. Initially I could play for a good few hours before I would get disconnected from the server due to lag. Now I get a couple of minutes in a game before I get disconnected. Another problem which has developed is the lag of the server chat which was never an issue before. Personally I think it is due to the upgrading of Tanki and the decline in the internet service I receive because whilst other devices work fine with the connection I have noticed a decline in websites and services which require a faster connection to work satisfactorily. I have cleared my cache repeatedly, downloaded the external Adobe Flash Player 11 (worked better initially but has since lost its charm), cleaned up broken shortcuts and other redundant files, removed additional unecessary add-ons. Just before posting this I cleared my Flash Player data. I do not want to change browsers or use an ethernet cable. Admittedly this is a problem which many people report on but the sudden and continued rapid decline of my gaming experience is something I have not seen.

Telling someone to jump off a cliff? homonym hawhaw. You'll be telling me you're gonna hack my account next :D Apart from it being short range and not having the main characterisics of other short range gun turrets, I can't see any other large flaws with it.

In one word no, I have more than one.

Now now, no need to ragequit. Its just an opinion, I don't think the firebird should interfere with the health of your tank when the driver of the firebird may have got killed. Stunt its reloading yes but imininently kill them when technically you weren't around to do the full battering as you were too weak. If they're going to have an afterkill, it should be swfter and to a lessened extent. I'm struggling to see your point about value because apart from the M3 upgrade, the crystal price is not substantially different.

I think you must be indeed deluded, the firebird afterkill seems to take a third to nearly half my health away (or it at least feels that way). Luckily I'm usually surrounded by Isidas. I used to have firebird before tanki updated when it had no afterkill and for me the Freeze is a much fairer weapon.

I concur ^_^

There is a distinct warm feeling about being killed by a booster, its like you need drugs to give you any chance of killing my tank. I personally don't use them because it gives an unfair advantage in my opinion, however if its a very heated match I will use some boosts in times of desperate need to seal the deal.

The afterkill on Firebird does more damage than the initial firing. The freeze in comparison is much less direct in its sealing of the deal as it just stunts your movement for a short period.

They're a welcome change but still quite boring. Future isn't a good name for that map, unless in 30 years I find every other road I drive on has a massive speed hump on it for no reason.

It is a great gun, maintained its status with the update earlier this year unlike Railgun however it is extremely boring now.

Overpowered.

Ricochet, the thing I use with wasp to shoot myself on top of things and troll all the noobies. Its basically a massive distraction like a riot shield in Call of Duty really. When you're on top of the cliffs which make up the border of Sandbox I think it is, people can't seem to resist trying to kill you which means your team has a lot of easy targets as they try to shoot you and post "omg he's hacking in the chat". A very useful tool.

The best and worst weapon depending on what side you're on unless its a long range snipe match then the user is extremely disadvantaged.
