Club-Paints
Can you imagine tanki without paints ? Not me.
Paints were here from the very beggining, they have started as paints, later on, they protected our little tanks, and in the last year they returned to their original purpose, paints.
The Paints associate and separates you from other groups. There are 26 unique paints for unique groups and the number is growing rapidly every year, will it continue ?
Are they ready for another big change ? The Club-Paints.
In order to shed light on the subject we went to ask Very Important Players !

Would you be happy to have a Club-Paint ?
"I'm not in any club at the moment, but back when I was in an RU club we did have a discussion about how cool it would be to have a club paint and yes, that thought got me pretty excited." @Maf
"Of course it would be nice having a Club paint as it will let you know where other players are from like which Club they belong
to and vice versa." @Hate
"Yes." @Darren4Turbo
"Of course :) I have always loved special paints :)" @TSY_the_crazy
"Yea, it's good if we decide to have a clan paint." @Mad
In your opinion Club-Paints are beneficial ?
"Not really. There are so many paints in the game already that it will be extremely hard to add new paints that will be easy to recognise and distinguish. If you want your club to have a uniform, just choose an existing affordable paint, like Lava or Savanna." @Maf
"In a way, I would say yes but on the other hand no. Good thing is that they benefit players and let them enjoy the game with their paints but on the other hand, it will only confuse many tankers out there, especially the new players when they see tons of different paints and all those special ones so it has it's disadvantages too." @Hate
" Yes, they are beneficial. In this way, your club can be easily noticed on the battlefield and you might get more players visiting your club topic on the forum." @Darren4Turbo
"Yes, they distinguish different clubs." @TSY_the_crazy
"Yea, they'd be beneficial as they'll represent we're all the part of a club, a family." @Mad
Do you see any disadvantage of Club-Paints ?
"Yes. Adding new paints will potentially devalue other, more exclusive paints. And it only benefits the club members, who get a free paint for no reason. Devs get nothing from this and end up wasting their efforts." @Maf
"Some of the paint's value will be lost since there will be quite a lot of Clubs being made therefore making those Club paints way too much that some players will not count which paint belongs to whom but other than that, nope.
." @Hate
"Yes, that would be the huge amount of clubs players would create on the forum in order to get a paint, club fame, and personal attention." @Darren4Turbo
"Nope" @TSY_the_crazy
"Why would there be any disadvantage of it ... :P" @Mad
Do you think tanki will ever do Club-Paints ?
"Highly doubt it. There's nothing really special or impressive about a bunch of players with similar interests getting together, so why should they deserve a unique paint as reward?" @Maf
"Maybe, no one knows it and the possibility of them being made is quite low but since it is tanki so we might never know but if there is one thing I would like to add, it is that currently since TO is mainly focusing on 4 big things which are, finishing and releasing the mach making system, finishing the Clan system, releasing TO for smartphones and lastly but not least moving TO from Flash to HTML5 which is almost being done. With all these work they trying to finish, I don't think they will create them but I guess that remains to be seen so let's wait and find out. :D" @Hate
"Not in the near future, unless there would be many high-quality clubs, or if the developers somehow ran out of major ideas for the game, then maybe they would implement this." @Darren4Turbo
"No tbh, the devs wouldn't waste time do any new paints for just 5-10 people." @TSY_the_crazy
"@Mad (sent this picture)"
As for a conclusion
Despite our desire to have a club-paints, it seems we are not going to have any club paint in the future, but we still have hope, like a lttle candle which never goes out
As we see, Club paints has disadvantages and advantages, are the disadvantages overweigh the advantages ? We will let you to decide.
Nevertheless, Some of you already imagine how the paint should look; "I think, our club paint should be the something like Tundra :)" @Mad
And even, suggested other ideas instead of club-paints, "The general idea of having some kind of way to identify members of a club is good, but it needs to be done by means other than paints. For example a tag of a different colour (so clans is white and clubs is... yellow) or stickers to put on the tank." @Maf
Will all this come into reality, or it will stay as a sweet dream ? Only the future can tell us.
Thank you for reading !
