They reduced the damage slightly yes, but the most crippling change was reducing its damage at max distance from 50% to 25%.

It will be there for 9 more days.

Vulcan is very weak right now imo... at least at the lower upgrades, it can't even kill medium hulls without burning up... and that is without any paint! I think it needs a damage buff or should be able fire a few seconds longer before overheating.

One of my favorite turrets, I'll definitely be getting M2 in the upcoming sale, if I can rank in time... *cough* Highways *cough*

I saw the video, before you edited it into a gif, RIP my ears. -_-

Go easy on them, there clearly new to the game.

:lol:

Twins is awesome after the latest balance update, its effective range is shorter, but its got DPS rivaling that of melee turrets.. but with unlimited ammo!

I was hoping they would add this to the game before the new year sale but that is looking less and less likely.

Agreed, it should also take less time to reload if you reload before you have used all 3 shots, like shaft with its charging.

I'd recommend you connect to servers using Standalone Flash, you can join even when they say they are full this way. (English servers are c37 and up.)

Most of the kits seem balanced, except the hull kit, mammoth viking and hunter at m2 are way too overpowered at that rank! EDIT: And the turret kit is also unbalanced, staff sergeants running around with m1 railgun 1 shotting everyone!

Was the person that added this kit to the game drunk?!? M2 viking mammoth and hunter is ridiculously OP at WO5! -_-

8 seconds of reload time really is too long... I think it should be reduced to 6 seconds or the damage should be increased so that it can 1 shot medium hulls of equal M.

Despite the halved freeze time this turret seems more effective to me after new physics... its a lot easier to flank people with the extra speed.

Its a lot easier to use short range turrets now with the increased speed, before you would need nitro to close in on other tanks... especially with medium hulls. Liking it so far.

Sounds like you have hardware acceleration turned off, to enable it right click on the screen while your playing tanki and check the box under display.

You will get a message saying "gold box will be dropped soon", and hear sirens in the background, its really hard to not notice when one is dropping.

WTF man, that scared the daylights out of me... :wacko:

I hardly play right now, but when I do I would say I rank up at a medium pace. Now you can! ;)

True, but the cons should not be too troublesome, unless you purchase crystals often. You can also try using different browsers and see which one tanki runs best on, also try to eliminate any unnecessary programs running in the background as they can decrease your FPS.

Running tanki online in the stand alone flash player gives a good performance boost, it personally gives me around 15 extra fps compared to playing in a browser. You can learn how to use it here. http://en.tankiwiki.com/Running_Tanki_Online_using_Standalone_Flash_Player

Didn't get 1st place, but still a nice reward considering I was going up against majors.

Awesome, I also like the lightning effect on smoky, but I wonder what it will look like for thunder and maybe railgun.
