True team battles are rare. In my experience you have to play with Russian players before it happens. I am not Russian. Every time I think "great teamwork" it is almost always Russian players that does it right. In most other battles people just attack attack attack like zombies. In many battles drugs replaces strategy - people just brute force attack with drugs. It is not exactly chess. More like single players boxing on drugs. Even in CTF. And tank battles should include a little more thought and preparation than small kids pushing their tank forward on drugs and paid for enhancements. Tanki is not evolving. There is no strategy anymore. No teams. Just boom boom. And that means no addictive gameplay. Addiction - returning, loyal players in the long rung. And paying players too.

Juggernaut is not a battle mode. It is a new sales trick. Everybody has to drug all the time against the juggernaut - you have to purchase supplies. Smart business move by Tanki Online - but boy it is primitive and boring.

This is the worst update ever, Tanki Online, and I have seen quite a few over the years. This one, however, is the ultimate showstopper that takes any bit of choice and fun out of the game. Being randomized into maps I don't like with teams I don't like. Or having few options as a Premium users with few paying players. Look towards the Vest. If you want paying players, sell them cheap, pile them high. Lower the Price for Premium, and make it more attractive to be a constant player with more than one account. The current Price level makes it obvious that you will struggle with few wealthy Premium users who spend a fortune to pay and win and humiliate the massive amount of free players, ruining the game play ith this pathetic approach to gaming. How about a fair Price level and no option to buy gear that is extremely much better than the rest - but more fun? You have been constantly changing the parameters in this game for 5+ years, and apart from a few new turrets... almost no great new maps and no overall changes. A Money machine pused to the extreme. Taking the fun out of it and even taking choice out of the game is counter productive. A fair Price. Fun. Less and better maps. No matchmaking from a supressive regime, thank you. I am out. Bye bye Tanki.

Do not hi-jack threads! So is it a bug or a deliberate change of the design of the Strikers target-lock system?

STRIKER no longer shows the target it is locking in on. The feature worked since the introduction of Striker. As a result players use single shots. It is broken. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=345375

So either Tanki Nerfed and crippled the weapon already without telling us or There is a major bug in the game Either reason is unacceptable. The target locked indicator is cool and without it the Striker is not a complete weapon. You cant watch the ammo bar AND the target at the same time. It is like being a car driver with the instrument panel at your feet. Lets hope the answer is 2)

I have this problem. Other players have same problem. I can also see almost no one in games use the lock target feature, probably because they cant lock either. Everyone are using single shots. I worked yesterday but not after the server restart today. I deleted all browser cache and the flash cache entirely.

I have seen server lag in this game several times over the years. It would last for days and get fixed in days. Now however I see lag often - today I can't play. I have observed server lag come and go since december. Often. I have a feeling we dont get the server capacity we once did. If that is the case, I quit. This kind of server lag simply is a show stopper. You just discuss own equipment and internet connection, but you are wasting your time. It is server lag.

Hahaha why when it is server lag!!!!

The game is still lagging like never before. Three days in a row. They better be working on it.

Tanki you have severe server lag. Severe!! (And to the smart commentators here, server lag is when tanki's servers are slow or faulty equiptment fragments the data transmission and you get lag no matter how great your computer or internet connection is). My FPS and ping values are as great as always and my computer is very, very fast, so no clever advice about upgrading or anything. Problem started days ago. Game was fine a week ago. We have multiple reports of server lag from unhappy players, and I have seen the worst lag ever for days. I see no info about this on your webpage. Fix the problem and do spend a minute on communicating the issue on the front page of tanki.

Besides the game loosing all of unique touch and magic without crystals, I noticed it became much more static. Crystals falling motivate tanks to get out in the open, taking a chance. With no crystals falling the game is more static, shafts hide more, fewer move around. It is so boring. We want crystals back!

No crystals = boring, sterile, no charm and much less gameplay Crystals are part of the tanki universe and (hi)story, and an essential part of the gameplay. The intelligent and aggressive player can earn some bonus from these crystals that also make it more interesting and fun to DRIVE AROUND on the map, no just go back and forth between bases. It also adds an extra dimension to driving and shooting. You keep an eye on the sky as well. It is fun! The update with marked spots for the crystals was not good. Camping resulted and fewer worked for the team. This idea with 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 crystal boxes was good. Added to the game play, you had to keep an eye on the sky as well as the ground, much more intense. Marked spot for the gold box was a horrible idea. Predictability is not what makes a game funny. And heavy tanks will always get the god box this way. Sometimes you work hard for the team in a never ending battle. Sometimes the team fails or the time limit is absurd, and you have to leave the battle. You will leave it empty handed. Crystals from the sky can at leave give you something. Last. Crystals from the sky is just a beautiful thing. Nice to look at. Nice to collect. A little fairy tale like. It creates a mood unlike in any other game. Especially in the Halloween, XMas and New Years Eve maps. Now the game is just grey and boring. I almost cant stand playing it and cant wait until crystal boxes return.

Today I experienced so bad lag on server 3, that I had to stop playing. It still is a problem. Other players had same problem, they also stopped playing. FPS was and is fine. Yesterday no lag.

No.
