I know how to do it.......you just get one of the hacking engines and drop yourself on it. easy! simple! :P (I have no idea what the cheating/hacking programs are even called, let alone even installing one - Just thought i'd clarify that) I have an idea of how to do it. No idea if it would actually work though.

First of all, grad/sec states the amount of gradians per second. Not the time it takes for a complete 360 degree(400 gradians) turn. Secondly, i don't think you understand my question at all.

Not to be pedantic but does anyone know why the developers decided to use 'grad/sec' for rotational velocity and 'grad' for the angular range of the turret (Firebird and Freeze only)? It appears to be more accepted around the world to use radians or degrees instead of gradians. For anyone curious, 1 gradian = 57.3 radians or 0.9 degrees Whilst i'm being pedantic, you can tell that the turrets and hulls have been added over time and probably by different people because the appearance of the attributes section differs. Also a small number of attribute symbols differ. Not that it bothers me......i just thought i would point it out.

And that is indeed what i've already done. Same with the version previous to it that's out of beta (3.4).

Very true but the download of this program is only free until the end of this month! Ie. Only 8 more days!! I forgot to mention this in my original post. Here is the press release http://www.iobit.com/press/2012-05-10.html from the developers.

^+1 this guy is brilliant. If this isn't sarcasm, thanks.

I would consider that the Hornet and the Viking can rotate quickly. Viking between 110-150 and Hornet 140-200. Mammoth (80-100) is slow but it has the protection to save it. Also Freeze 83.1-146.1 is relatively quick compared to other turrets. Eg. Thunder 45.8-91.7 I haven't used any of these turrets or hulls because of my rank but looking at their attributes, i would have to disagree with you in terms of what has slow and fast rotating velocities. I'm not saying that you should only pick your hull and turret combination because of the rotating velocity but it's one factor to think about. As it all depends on your battle style. Different battling styles require different attributes. Surely? This is the logic i'm going with anyway.

Hi, I'm thinking of installing the game booster 3.5 beta as shown here http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html . I'll be installing it on my Windows 7 64-bit system. Has anyone had any experience with it? Is it stable enough yet? I've only just installed a fresh copy of Windows on my system and i'm attempting to install as little junk on it. So i wouldn't want to install it, to find out its no good for my system to only uninstall it again. Cheers EDIT: Fixed the link.

I've read somewhere that you should get the same paint protection as your turret. I think this because you fight the battles to suit the turret. So if you get a long range turret you're more likely to battle from a distance and close range turrets can only fight the battle at close range. So if you get a close range turret, you should get a close range protection paint. Same with long distance. Turret and hull matching is easy. You look at the attributes of both and think of what it would be like to play. EG. if you look at a turret and a hull that both have slow rotating velocities, you're going to be dead in the water. Unless you intend to camp in one spot, where the there is a limited view and tanks can't come round the back. Then you'll never be able to aim at them in time. This advice is coming from a noob by the way. Only a First Sergeant.

Server 2 is for no supply battles? Is this free? Or do you have to pay like normal?

I disagree because xp in the battle scores is a reflection as to how much you've done. If there were xp boxers, i imagine you would have people not doing much hovering around where they're dropped. So this would be unfair to the people that have played hard. Also would you really want noobs to be in the higher ranks and still play like noobs? Surely the rank system is a way to get people to play together of a similar skill level, doing this would introduce noobs to the games with skilled players. Also you the tank you would have in comparison to overs in the same rank wouldn't be the same unless you ended up purchasing crystals and therefore you would get absolutely dominated.

I feel like i've read something very similar not so long ago in this section of the forum. Exactly the same subject and everything... http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/134139.page

I like it, someone that doesn't take this whole internet game too seriously.

It's easier said than done. Clearly you aren't a programmer otherwise you would understand this. Like SilentShadow said, there are many ways for people to get round the auto-ban system. Imagine how big the code would need to be to block absolutely every variation of a swear word, let alone every swear word. Eg. I did a 2 minute Google of laughing abbreviations and these are what i found in those 2 minutes. I would say for 2 minutes searching of this there is a lot and then think about all of the variations of each one with spaces and random symbols. I've started to notice stuff like "fu" which is obvious what it is. But what about if this letter arrangement was part of a normal pleasant word. To be honest, i think the only solution is to get more chat moderators. It's just a case are they willing to take on more people? I would love to become one myself as i hate seeing all of the foul language used in chat even though it doesn't offend me.

Lol, your fail post is a fail. :D

One of the many reasons Android > iOS )) Agreed.

The current point system is adopted by a number of online games i've played. Secondly, how much lag would the new system create? Surely the damage caused would also have to have tighter tolerances. As i believe a random damage value between the max and min limit is chosen for each shot.

Banned because you didn't finish your sentence with a full stop.

Why I hate any ranked player on my team: 1. They block your way 2. Keep pushing you 3. Get the 200 box before you get there. I hate team mates! To me it's the not the rank of the player that causes the issue, it's the attitude.

Are you looking to make an unofficial team or a proper clan? If you're wanting to make a proper clan, have you read the clan rules and any sticky topics in that section of the forum?

Are you connected wireless or wired? I find that people that are wired in seem to have a magical priority over the internet. Not by a lot, just a small noticeable difference. It's either that or i've imagined it in the past.

Hi, Just curious as to what FPS on average, everyone runs the game at? I say average because i understand the FPS rate fluctuates. I'm curious to see how my laptop copes with the game and if/how much advantage people might have. Not that i image that there is much advantage beyond a certain FPS rate.

I wish this forum had a like button. Lol, i like it.

Go to the complaints section. I think they usually want you to show some evidence of some kind.

Forget it! Just delete this topic! Unless i put all 196 countries in the poll, i'm sure there will be some individual that is a minority of their country that speaks English as their primary language and will still complain regardless. Before making the poll, i Googled the main countries that speak English and i put the results in the poll. You know so i didn't offend anyone, especially over sensitive people but even that didn't work. I'm not getting in to this racism malarkey. I wont be checking this topic again as i'm not getting in to some stupid argument that is complete nonsense.
