STREET SORBET

I understand but when I open the config.xml with word it literally just shows a bunch of pink boxes running down like this.

I was referred to en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=170809 but it hasn't solved all my noobish problems. When I open up the "Config" file with word as it says to input my own paint, instead of text all I see are pink boxes saying "colormap" and "texture" etc. I am unable to put the "<colormap file="custom_textures\YOURPAINTNAME.jpg"/>" line in. Thank you for any help

Playing tanki, and defending blue-team's flag on silence 1, mobile style :)

A satisfying electric zap would be nice :)

mammy m2 or smoky m2? I know common knowledge dictates turret first but smoky m2 is unlocked really late, is really expensive, and mammy 2 is a HUGE improvement over mammy m1, whereas smoky m2 is an improvement but not as great.

well if I high rank puts in about 50,000 crystals in tickets, they have a 50% chance of losing and if they win they double their money so I think it's fair. If it gets to the point you spend like 80,000 in a 100,000 jackpot, you're not gaining that much anyways and risk losing a lot. you could also have separate lotteries with different prize pools/ticket costs for different ranks.

So I have an idea. Let's have a tanki LOTTERY! Here's how it would work In the garage, there is an option to buy a lottery ticket. Tickets are very cheap, only 1 crystal apiece. Anyone can buy any amount of them at any time, and when the total amount of tickets bought reaches, let's say, 100,000, the winnings are given out! 75,000 for jackpot and some other smaller prizes for around 10-15 people. Your chance to win the jackpot/other bonuses depends on how many crystals you buy. Owning 1 out of the 100,000 tickets for the jackpot will give you a 1/100,000 chance to win it, but buying 1,000 tickets will give you a 1000/100000. The smaller prizes will also be given out accordingly. What do you guys think? I think it'll help some people a lot

do people actually use thunder at higher ranks or is it like due to the massive amounts of thunder-protection paint no one really uses thunder?

What paint to buy? I use Smoky M1 + Mammoth M1 I enjoy DM and TDM I have about 10,000 crystals to spend (new terms) Also, is smoky+mammoth good at higher ranks as well? or is it outclassed by thunder+mammoth / smoky + hornet?

Smoky/Mammoth or Isida/Hornet? I know Isida+hornet will be cheaper, but I like smoky/mammoth more. Which to picK? (I already have smoky m1 and mammoth m1, along with isida m0 and hornet m0) Also, how noticeable is the difference from isida m0 to m1?

Ok so I'm not at a high rank yet but from what I see in higher rank games there may be players who pay for lots of crystals and can afford to drug 24/7 and I think it really ruins the game for people who can't afford to drug all the time :( I want ot spend my crystals on new turrets and hulls, not drugs just to keep up with other druggers!

I mean cause of the sale everyone is using the... Last DM I joined it was almost ALL smokies

I'm not even sure it's actually true. The russia nlink in these general forums seems like a potential scam as the link to the supposed test server does not match the link of the official tanki test server. The site also asks for email, nickname, password etc.

Confirmed on a russian post. All crystal boxes will have 10x the value and battle funds will go up at 10x the speed! our prayers have been answered! EDIT: beware of a possible scam. The link of the supposed test site is not official looking.

So basically just take a combination that you use often and give it a rating out of 10 with some reasons! (remember, it is YOUR opinion and there are no wrong answers. Feel free to rate something someone else has already rated as well) I think it might be a nice addition to help people decide what to buy :P So here's mine at my low rank xD Rail/Hornet 6.9/10 I like this combo somewhat and find it has some uses, but more often than not I find I just get pushed around really easily by bigger tanks with thunder as well as get one-shotted by shafts. This combo in my experience is particularly useful on Iran and TDM games in general but not so good when there are lots of open ground (exposed too much to the DPS of thunder) and shafts on the enemy team (as shaft beats rail long long range imo). I think it would get better with more upgraded versions (so rail m3 and hornet m3 would be better relatively speaking to other m3 combos than rail/hornet m0 to other m0 combos) Thunder/mammoth 8.5/10 Very nice, solid combo for many game types but particularly FFA deathmatches and TDM as you can rack up a lot of points quickly from splash and the mammoth is very durable. Thunder can also hit many elevations when on the mammoth and has nice DPS as well, creating a tank that can beat most other turret/hull combos in a 1v1 fight as well as camp effectively from a distance. Twins/mammoth 8.6/10 excellent for FFA deathmatches Now post your own!

with mammoth m1, Twins m1, thunder m1, or shaft m1?

Ok I haven't actually played at all before the rebalance and I've heard that people hate shaft now and think it sucks cause it can't one-shot everything but I mean c'mon, isn't one shotting everything kind of OP? I use shaft at my lowly rank and have had excellent success with it compared to all other turrets I own (everything except rico+freeze) and I don't think it's bad at ALL. Wasn't is just OP before, and now that it's balanced (and still good imo) people think it's bad cause they were too used to the OP version?

you're saying twins are better and I should pick them instead??? (p.s., my preferred game type is TDM)

I'm relatively low rank but have been having immeasurable success with my mammoth+thunder combo. However, I was told by a higher rank friend that I should stop using thunder because, although it is very powerful, it is that power which causes large amounts of thunder protection to be used at higher levels which outweighs its strength. Is this true? And if it is, is it still good to use thunder?

ok new very broad question. I have m0 everything (except shaft, freeze, rico, titan, and dictator). what turret should I upgrade to m1 first?

Would it be too much to ask for one name change? And you can make it so that your old name is still visible if you view a profile or something to prevent criminals covering their tracks.

How do you know when sales will be?

Shoot. My condolences to jon-rambo who just got lagged out of a game he was #1 in with battlefund 1400

Yea so I've heard that rail's damage is not influenced by range and I've noticed... with m0 rail, I sometimes 1-shot wasps, and othertimes I don't. It could be a one-shot from across the map, a one-shot at point blank range, or he could maybe take a hit at point blank range. What changes the railgun's damage from the range of 52-78?
