I complained about Mammoths, but now I take em down with Freeze so I'm happy the way things are.

Come back and see us sometime - even if it's just the forum. Bye.

CTF battle today - guy on opposing team constantly throwing drugs at his tank all the way through the game. His team lost... Some people have yet to catch on to the fact that drugs are SO expensive since hyper-inflation update 123. The players with access to mommy's purse will carry on regardless pumping money into TO. But - it's the realities of business that buyers are actually doing everyone a favour by keeping the game running.

An M3 - M3 combination can be attained with a decreased battle fund ..? With 123, we are battling for crumbs - I played for 20 minutes and got a 'real value' of 1.5 crystals as my reward... M3 - M3 will never happen.

If the motivation was to share the fund so that lower scoring players got some crystals, it could have been easily achieved under the old system.

Talking as just an ordinary player ( I doubt I will be able to progress much further up the ranks ), I find it sad that I just came from a Silence battle where we were battling for 63 crystals. Under the new system there was no way I was going to drug... and at the end our team won and I got (in real terms of spending power) 1.8 crystals :( The objectives have changed - forget drugs - they suck your finances like a giant black hole. I am going to create games called 'Headless Chickens' where we run around trying to capture the occasional crystal boxes as this might generate more income. Sad...

I was in a fierce Boombox match yesterday, and in the last 10 minutes the other team started to drug. We had to drug to keep our slight advantage. The result - I got 100 crystals, but in reality I lost out of course - although not quite as much as the losing team. Both teams got sucked into the big scheme... The 'winners' are now judged by how little they have lost - not by how much they have won !

Dear Funini, If you have another account with a similar rank to mine, please feel free to show me your superior skill sometime - unless perhaps you are a Gallus Domesticus.

My sense of humour - what could be more ridiculous than a Pope driving a tank ?

How can Lentovni deny players access to the new maps ? I think he is just saying that there are reasons why certain maps are popular. They have a combination of certain elements that make good gameplay. Perhaps he is hoping that Tanki will continue to make new maps with these principles in mind ? Of course, it is good to be brave and explore new directions once in a while to see how things turn out.

I really like the Kungur and Magistral maps, but also enjoy the smaller ones such as Sandal and Opposition. As Monkblob says, variety is good. I don't play the Crash or Gallery maps because they don't seem to flow - by this I mean the tank movements have to be more stop/start. Also I have worse lag on both these maps.

I would like to express my gratitude for solving the disconnection issues. I did have a small amount of lag in one battle today, but I'm not too worried about that. Thank you and... Bless you my sons !

Yes that is true, but the Wasp is a good combination with the Rail M1 at Warrant Officer 3. I do like the extra stability of the Hornet with nitrous and also when the gun is turned at 90 degrees, but that's it. After rebalance, I automatically presumed that the M1 Hornet would be an upgrade over M1 Wasp, but this was a mistake.

The rebalance has made the Hornet M1 canon fodder. 2310 crystals for a slower option to the M1 Wasp ? The very small increase in armour means nothing because you are exposed to enemy fire for longer as it is so slow. Please TO, at least make it the same speed as a Wasp M1 !

I think it's a valid point to make that the gameplay has suffered. I can see that mammoth drivers are probably enjoying it, but to others the game just becomes tedious. I don't blame the players at all - and never said this. I made it clear in my OP the reason why I thought they were becoming more common.
