Only if you use Firebird. :P :D :lol:

Well, I already have everything turned off: Sound, Dynamic Shadows, Dust, except for Skybox. I will not delete the Skybox. The sky looks great in Tanki! :lol: Just add some moving grass/flowers like in the videos and I'll be even more happy. ;) But no worries, I think one of the best guns to use while lagging would be Railgun. Once you shoot'em, it's mass damage. With Twins, your shots will slow down and after firing for like 30 seconds, only like 5 shots will actually hit. <_<

I see. Looks like I'll be getting M2 Railgun then. :D I like the enwer graphics, but I'm more concerned about lag. :( Even if it does get a bit complex I'll make sure I understand it. B) Besides, if I don't, then just blow some tanks up. -_- I just need to earn 10,000 more Crystals. Then if there is 25% off discount, I can buy Railgun M2! :)

However, my question is that is Smoky M1 going to last me in the Major-Colonel ranks? if not, I'm going for Railgun M2 then getting Smoky later. By the way. This is a proto-type thing for the new graphics- not to mention that the Garage will be getting re-modeled too. I got this from Tanki's FB page: Clockwise from top left: normal mode, double armor, double damage, nitro. My view: There's going to be lag. . .

1. Total Annihilation 2. The Exit 3. ExitPerimeter

Not to mention that Crystals are Tanki Online's only currency and thus it wouldn't be right for them to dish it out so easily.

What if there was another Rebalance. (Are we supposed to reply to the post above?)

Oh yes, I've wanted to ask something. Is M1 Wasp+ M1 Smoky still a good combination at say, Major-Colonel ranks? If so, then I'd probably get Smoky M1 and buy a good paint with my left over Crystals. . . I like using Smoky. :D :lol: Even at M0, so many Criticals. :blink: I was playing with Generalissimos and Brigadiers in Silence II today and kept launching Criticals on drugging Mammoths. :lol: First they didn't care for me, but when I launched two criticals on the same Mammoth, he turned around and killed me. I caught the attention of a drugging Twins M3 and Mammoth M3 Generalissimo. I'm so proud of myself. :wub:

I'm guessing that you're a Non-buyer, so you'll probably want Viking M2. Why? 1. Lets take a look at M2 versions. ~Hold on I have to log into Tanki servers again to check le stats, but I do know that M2 version: Viking is better~ At M2, Viking is clearly superior to its counterpart Dictator. The M2 version of Dictator only has 191 Armor-points and 6.1 speed while Viking M2 has a whopping 220 armor-points accompanied by a good solid 6.0 speed. The Viking surpasses the Dictator by 29 armor in exchange for .1 speed, which is worth it if you'd ask me. Then again, you could say that you could look long-term and see that at M3, Dictator has better attributes than Viking. This is true, but you have to acknowledge the fact that the Dictator M3 is unlocked at Generalissimo, and I'm pretty sure that you'll round up much more crystals than 304,800 (81,800 [M2] + 223,000 [M3]) by the time you get to Generalissimo- not to mention your other M3 Equipment. When you get to Generalissimo or close to that rank, then you can start saving/spending crystals on Dictator. because right now getting it will only slow you down. - Reason I say to get Viking M2 if you're a non-buyer is because if you buy Crystals then not only can you play on your Dictator M2 because I'm guessing you've wanted to use it at an M2 status, but if you don't like using it or it will slow you down is the higher ranks then you can just buy something else and play with that as your primary combination.

I suggested a similar idea some time ago about a ''Salvage'' button which ~exchanges~ your unwanted equipment for Drugs. I sent it to feedback already some time ago so all I have to do is wait. :(

1. Railgun for sniping is a given. 2. For attacking? In a Solo attack you'd probably need a Thunder to hold off multiple enemies- especially with 2X Power you'll be dishing out 100 damage per shot basically. In a group, Railgun can be good. For Railgun you can shoot the person who would trouble your teammates most such as a Freeze. 3. Defending? That is given on how you play. If you stand your ground then Thunder. If you run around like me keeping an eye on the whole field, then possibly railgun. I'd say buy the one you find you play with best- that way you'll draw out the gun's full potential and be able to benefit a team or yourself very well in battle. Have fun, don't just get a gun cause it's strong. Strength is nothin' if you don't have the wits to use it.

Not true. I try out Smoky M0 on my Wasp M1 just for fun because I really like using it. I used it in Bobruisk- playing with Lieutenants-Captains and I got two criticals on a drugging M1 Hornet in 3 shots. Then I killed a drugging mammoth M1 and Twins M1 with three criticals fireed in 5 shots. Is it just me or is Smoky's critical more than 5%? :o That's why I want to buy it, but I'm not sure. Will Smoky M1 benefit me in my Captain-Colonel ranks? And Smokies don't get kill-stolen that much. They fire rapidly and the Criticals are more like snipe shots. Lol. 1. If you're a Non-buyer, which I'm guessing you are, buy Viking. 2. If you like to bet your chances on Smoky's critical, then Smoky. If you want to be safe and produce steady solid hits (Not to mention learn how to use Splash-damage), then go with Thunder. However, keep in mind that Smoky benefits at range while Thunder is meant for medium-small maps. 3. The best thing would be to top it at M3, get Micro-upgrades, then focus on something else so you get the maximum effect of the gun. 4. Yes, because if you don't know how to use Wasp then you'll suck at it and lose horribly- not to mention not have fun while playing Tanki, which is a game. Games are meant to be fun, not uncomfortable. 5. I like Wasp. Period. It's so unbalanced I love it. :lol: I flip so many times and land upright, get into small spaces, run away, strategize, basically everything. I scour the maps. :ph34r: Yes, I do quite well with it- because I find it comfortable to play with and like using it. ;)

You could also use: 1. IAmDrugger-> When you take the flag, you cast over a wave of panic toward your enemies. 2. ITakeYourFlag -> Self-explanatory.

1. Nobody -> Explanation: It would say Nobody destroyed ??? 2. ShootMe -> Explanation: You'd give a laugh to English-speakers. 3. IWillShootYou -> Explanation: You won't be able to team up with anyone really in DM matches because of that username. 4. NameIsTaken -> This happens every time 5. GoldBox -> You can put small numbers or something, or you can make the l a capitalized I, because then you'll give everyone heart-attacks. 6. Generalissimo -> Respect. Again, you can try to put the l as a capitalized I or make it capitalized and make the capitalized i an l. 7. BlueTeam -> Go on the Red team on purpose, and the Blue team members can become confused for like 2 seconds when they see you and thus giving you an advantage 8. RedTeam -> See the reason above ^

1. 3:39 he flipped his own teammate 2. This video is like urging me to get Railgun M2. :lol:

I guess now Freeze-users will have to put some more skill into the gun now. :P The Freeze is still pretty good though. I tried it out myself today on Druggers. I was using M1 Wasp M0 Freeze.

Ricochet is now a shadow of its formal superiority. However, Ricochet M2-M3 is still pretty good- especially on drugs. M0 and M1 on the other hand you'll have to try even harder. However, if you know how to use it, then it's really good, which is also why I'm hoping BlackOutWarrior will make a guide for Ricochets. :D

You must not be a very good hider of bodies then. :D :lol:

No. There will be no distinction from Micro-upgraded equipment and non-Micro-upgraded equipment. The turrets will look exactly the same. M0 will look like M0 and so on. There will be no visual difference. Yes and no at the same time. No, once you Micro-upgrade it is a permanent accessory for your (example) M1 Thunder. However, once you upgrade the Thunder to M2, the Micro-upgrades you put onto M1 is gone forever. If you want Micro-upgrades for your new M2 Thunder, you have to start from scratch.

So far I just need to rank up about 2-3 ranks. Anyone want to suggest a good combination for the best Exp gain? Or which genre to play for the most Exp gain: CTF, TDM, DM. Hulls: Wasp M1, Mammoth M1, Everything-else-M0 Weapons: Firebird M1, Railgun M1, Twins M1, Ricochet M1, Isida M1, Everything-else-M0.

Agreed. :wacko: But at least it'll give us time to prepare for such an update. . . .a long time to prepare. :lol:

Yep. I'm tired of seeing those newbies not know how to use Ricochet. I keep thinking: Shoot me already, you have the chance. You don't need to fall into my Railgun trap and expose your hull. Just use the Ricochet effect. :angry: Adds more of a twist to the game. :lol: Ricochets are pretty good if you know how to use them anyway. ^_^ ------------------------------------------------------------------ About time we see more Ricochets on the field. :mellow: Especially when people know how to use them- although it'd be a pain with the Druggers. Drugging Ricochets are one of the worst in my opinion. <_<

Yes but there is a limit. :P

I think I'd like to use Smoky better than Railgun. I'm able to alternate between enemies and still have unlimited range- not to mention I tried out M0 and got 2 critical shots in a row, then got another Critical right after a regular hit. :D So I'm going to try to get M2 Smoky. Should I buy and keep using M1 Smoky, or should I buy FirebirdM2/Railgun M2? If I were to buy a secondary weapon, Firebird or Railgun.

I suggested a similar idea. However, I think I suggested the person who had the flag get Self-destruct. Lol.
