Pretty sure no player has an actual battle cry. Just a series of uncontrollable raging. :D

I found the story surprisingly funny and ironic. You foreshadowed in the midst of the story with the phrase : ''He cherished his few moments of Safety,'' that something misfortunate was going to happen to him- most commonly death from Machete-wielding Monk.

Is the Traceur paint going to be gone from the Garage after the contest, or will it be a permanent addition to the game? If it will disappear, then I must buy it to show proof that I was playing Tanki Online since June 30th!

I think there should be a small clock in the game. Each red mark means Server-Restart! Maybe a gun that points a red laser. You can point it at your desired location. After a few seconds the gun will shift and the spot will explode! My idea of a Railgun/Thunder/Shaft thing. And when you have the laser on that points, you'll be in 1st-person mode. Kind of like Shaft. It'll be like a glass window and all. And to make it realistic there could be some dust or dirt on the window. :D There should only be Mini-maps or Full-on maps in some maps like Dusseldorf. :tank:

No, please no. I have Slow-Tank-Phobia.

Guess I'll continue saving for M1 Railgun. Nothing else for me to buy anyway. :lol:

My battlecry? Considering the current status of battles in Tanki Online: Drugger!!!! (I say this in like 99% of my battles now)

Thunder -> This is a gun that can attack groups of tanks. Think of this as a messy Smoky with no criticals with solid brick-like damage. However, it's meant for close-medium range unlike Smoky which is good at ranged. Use your Splash-damage! Hit nearby objects and make tanks scatter! Who cares about Rustle paint. It's an effective gun when used right- even with enemies that have paints. When an enemy is hiding behind a wall, don't go to him. That's asking to be killed. Then you'll just complain on Forums about Thunder being suck-ish and thus flood it and get shunned upon. Instead, drive forward fast, then stop and when you do, your turret will point down a bit. Then smash that spacebar button. The shot will hit the ground next to the wall and damage the hiding tank. Basically with Thunder, no tank can hide. And to add insult to injury, don't let your opponent kill you. A Thunder is a proud weapon, don't lose your pride. Kill yourself by self-destructing. What I mean is shoot a wall you're right next to. This will kill you, evade letting your enemies take you as a kill, and if your enemy is near/next to you, it will hurt them too. It might even kill them. My favorite aspect about Thunder is the splash damage. Isidas have short range and tend to stay near their host (Person they're healing or hiding behind). I like to shoot in the middle of groups to see who dies first. I'm an evil tank. :D Shaft: Find a good spot and shoot. When your flag is taken, find the guy who has your flag and shoot him. And cover the person with enemy's flag. You play an important role in keeping the enemies back and earning kills. When I'm a Shaft I kill things like Freeze or Isidas. Shaft's shot can go through tanks- remember that. So if you can't see an enemy because he's covered by a friendly tank- but you know he's right behind the friendly tank, shoot the friendly tank. It won't hurt your teammate, but it will go through him and hurt the enemy. (Unless it's a friendly fire game) And if you happen to use Mammoth, you can be helpful in CTF by sitting on your flag. It blocks it from enemies and you can still snipe. :excl: Freeze -> You're essential in CTF. Not to mention very good in TDM. Freeze, everything! But when your enemy is frozen, circle him. Keep out of his turret's path and keep circling him while spraying him until he dies. Isida: Heal. Good source of points- not to mention beneficial to your team. You can also be an attacker- a very good one. Smoky: Just keep shooting and get criticals :lol: Stay in the shadows or in hidden places. Don't attract attention and be good support. Keep shooting! Firebird -> Oh yes, the Pyromaniac gun. Just burn everything. However, it is a strategic gun you have to think when using. Don't use all of your ammo on one flipped over Wasp. Let your Burn effect do it's job. Just spray it a bit and let it burn! :lol: Continue spraying it just a little when you notice the burn fading. Keep the burning to it's maximum extent! Keep the tank a crimson color. That's what I do. I blast him till he gets as dark-red as he can. Then I circle him or hide nearby and continue jumping out and keeping the burn from fading away. It's easy to kill Mammoths like that. It's a very good gun to go guerilla with. Smoky is too I guess. Railgun: In TDM, just shoot and run/hide. Unless you use Mammoth. Then just keep shooting. :lol: Great for peek-a-boo tactic. If you want to shoot upwards, drive backwards and then stop. When you stop, your turret will point upwards. Shoot! If you want to shoot downwards then go forward, then stop. Then when your turret is poised downwards, shoot. When hiding behind a wall and attempting Peek-a-boo tactic, remember to press spacebar before jumping out. Why? Railgun needs to charge first- and it takes a second or two. Press spacebar then jump out. Because if you don't, when you're exposed you're vulnerable and enemies can kill/unbalance you before you shoot and you might die or flip over. Remember, you're versing humans. They will discover your pattern. You might want to feign them while you're add it. Move suddenly towards outside the wall, then quickly stop or reverse to get back behind the wall. They will waste their shot and miss you. Then you're able to come out and take proper aim and shoot'em. Or you can come out from the other side of le wall. :lol: However, Railgun's muzzle is long. Might want to back up from the wall before doing so they don't foresee your move. Twins: Don't let go of your spacebar. Better on every hull except Wasp. Good day sir/ma'm. Ricochet: This gun is probably King-Of-Being-Difficult-To-Use. So difficult that you shouldn't buy it until you achieve higher ranks and know how to play Tanki more. So difficult that even I have a hard time, but fun time, using it. Although I do consider myself decent-good at it. :lol: Use the ricochet effect! Bounce those plasma balls from walls! When you see the enemy run into a tunnel, Fire into the tunnel. The shot will bounce and kill'em. :P Use your environment wisely. This gun depends on its environment. On Combe map with the slopes and all, if you fire downwards the shot will bounce and go up the hill and hit the enemy. It can also let tanks with Hornet/Wasp hull climb onto hills and do parkour.

Find a spot, and shoot. Remember, Shaft's shot goes through tanks. I once killed 3 people with one shot. :ph34r:

Figurative language. I won't really shoot myself. I'm just saying I'll feel dumb if there is a sale because I spent nearly all of my crystals a few days ago. :)

1. Never buy everything to M1. 2. Stick with only a few turrets and hulls. (1-3 of each) 3. Try to score an M2 Weapon. M1's will get you nowhere in the higher ranks- unless you use Isida solely for healing. 4. Don't buy drugs. 5. Buy wisely. No refunds. 6. Buy at least an M1 Weapon and M1 Hull before getting a paint. 7. Only stick with one simple paint first. Don't buy every paint. The thing is you won't use them and you'll waste nearly all your crystals. Stick with something good and cheap: like Forester, Metallic, Safari or Lava. Buy one only. Then after you reach higher ranks you can save up for something more advanced like Electra :wub: , Digital, or Rustle. Then even further and beyond like Irbis or Inferno. :D 8. Before joining a battle, check the Time limit, Ranks of each tank in each team, and the scores. 9. Think strategically. You aren't going against CPU's like other games. You're versing real humans! :o 10. Choose the weapon right for you. 11. Don't buy Ricochet. It is viciously difficult to control. After you gain more skills you can try your hand at it. But just to be save first get an M2 Combo. 12. Don't worry, once you rank more you'll earn crystals in battle much easier. :lol: I have a noob account and the crystal funds are so slow. 13. Have fun. If you find your current combination of hull/turret not to be fun, then change it. Games are meant to be fun. Frankly, if you ain't having fun you aren't bringing out the combination's full potential and thus suck. Twins/Mammoth is a powerful combination, but I find slow hulls to be not fun. So I suck at that combination. I use Wasp and frankly it's considered a weak hull by many- yet I do so good with it. 14. All weapons/hulls aren't weak. Some just need different skill assets to maneuver them. 15. Get Dailies. 16. Freeze is the best to kill druggers. So many druggers now. :angry: :( 17. Move your turret! It's easier to move your turret than moving your whole tank around- not to mention you'll fight better and look cooler when you kill a tank while driving. B) 18. Participate in Cybersport. Pretty fun in my view- although I haven't got the time to participate in it. The battles are quite fun to watch live. :D 19. Watch for important Russian Holidays. Those are mostly when sales will occur. This is a Russian game after all. 20. Take a screenshot of hackers and send them to Mods. 21. Participate in Forums. 22. Send ideas to feedback. 23. Learn what a Goldbox is and where they drop. 24. You can sort of air-strike with mines. When you're on top or above an enemy in midair, just drop a mine and they'll die. 25. Don't be a nub and not protect/capture flags in CTF. If you solely want to kill, go to a DM or TDM. 26. To gain more FPS (Frames per Second) turn off dynamic shadows and dust-under-le-tracks. However, you should keep on the Skybox and sound. It's awesome. :fire_r: :fire_l:

If there is a sale on weapons, I will shoot myself. I only have 9,000 crystals left. I hope there's no sale. But like the others said this is a Russian game. They've already had big sales too so I'd doubt they'd want to lose more money. Anyways, there's a very small chance that there is going to be a sale. However, keep in mind that the English community is very small .. .well compared to the other communities at least.

:blink: Sort of awkward bringing religion into this. Can be offensive to others you know- not specifically saying you or me. I just happen to know that bringing these kinds of topics to the surface can offend some people. :excl:

No, I don't think they should input the Snow and Fire. Both Firebird and Freeze are already pretty strong. Just leave them be. B) I do find the radiation quite interesting.

Lol. That'd be funny. Two extra machine gun turrets that can auto-aim and automatically fire upon nearby enemies. Heat signatures? :lol: They already have a Shotgun turret planned. Just fast massive damage at short range with long reload. It sounds more like Thunder/Wasp to me except you can't kill yourself. :fire_r: :fire_l: And not to mention it'd be pretty awkward with troops running around. I'd mow'em down with my Wasp! Lol!

On my other account I'm one rank away from being able to get Shaft. Should I buy Viking, Mammoth, or Hornet to go along with it? I'll probably be using Freeze too . .

You pick a team you stick with it. Tanki will never implement this idea, sorry. However, look before going into battle. Look at the time limit, look at the points. Look at the Ranks of each side. You should join the higher ranks. However, as soon as you join it- see who drugs like a madman. Higher ranks don't always win. Since the recent updates people are drugging like crazy. Of course if your team doesn't have drugs and the other team does and is drugging, then you should leave cause you'll lose. Drugs 2x your power- except for speed. But it still increases it a lot.

Yes, but he means a way where you don't lose your points.

Ohhh~ That'd be interesting. A hot-spot for consecutive damage. That'd be pretty interesting. :lol:

Mammoth on 2x Armor + Health kit. Not to mention since the Mammoth is blocking the way, a Freeze or Firebird can go behind the mammoth and spray thus killing all Tanks underneath the mammoth while being protected. Just thought I'd put that there. :lol:

Indeed. It's great in TDM. I just self-destruct right next to enemies. :lol:

Shaft is powerful- no, very powerful in the lower ranks. When I get it I'll be laughin' at all the others. However, once you get to the higher ranks it becomes increasingly hard to deal with the other tanks. Don't worry, it'll lose it's power once the M1-M2 Railguns come in and the Thunders/Smokys.

That'd be kind of. . . too strong. With the Freeze's slow effect all he has to do is spray snow everywhere. That's one flag you can never capture. And Shaft with Splash-damage? Eh, isn't that Thunder's job?

For me: DM: Kill steal all the way TDM: Hit and run. Unless he's killable. (When using Thunder always try to self-destruct instead of being killed) CTF: Kill everything but guard the flag- not to mention go for the flag undercover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think if you know how to use Twins and can use it, unlike me, then go for it. Listen to Splitterpoint lol. :lol: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although after the big sale, I've seen people with Rock paint. Isn't that 48% Twins protection? :o

Lol I just created a new account called GoldBoxes. The ''l'' is just a capitalized ''i.'' :lol: I'm planning on turning that account into a Shaft/Freeze user. Which should I work on first? Shaft or Freeze? And I'll be alternating between my main account and this account. I'm aiming for a Warrant officer rank for this account. So yep. I've been an expert at Shaft for quite a while. In my noob days Shaft was amazing. B) Shall I use Hornet or Mammoth? I tried Freeze/Mammoth on my main and it is pretty effective. Just wait and trap them. Once they're frozen they can't get away and it's an easy kill. They can't kill 200 Armor so fast. :lol: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I can promise you this. I will make no mistakes on this account. :)
