Maybe, but I only understand English. So English videos will be the only ones we'll be considering.

Tankers, please no discussion here. Discuss the contest in the appropriate topic. This one is for entries only.

Contest FAQ Doing the 3 challenges will take at least 10-15 minutes. And the video should be no longer than 5 minutes? How? As it says in the rules, your task is NOT to overcome the challenges. Your task is to make a tutorial showing HOW to overcome the challenges. This means you don't need to show the complete process. You can, and NEED TO, edit the footage. Pay attention to key things, where to enable specific supplies, how to behave. Pay attention to the tactics. Do not show the whole process. Show tips on how to use supplies to achieve each of the 3 goals. Then, 5 minutes is more than enough. Do I need to talk in the video? Yes, you do. The contest implies making a tutorial video with commentary. Can I record the commentary in other languages than English? No. Sorry, but you can't. We only accept tutorials with English commentary. Do I need to overcome one of the 3 challenges, or all of them? As it says in the rules, you need to make a tutorial showing how to overcome ALL of the dares. By the 40 kills in a TDM thing do you mean get 40 kills by yourself or as a team? You need to tell other tankers in the video how to get 40 kills in 5 minutes by yourself. What do I need to do in the CTF challenge? You need to show in your tutorial how to deliver a flag for each of 2 bases on one of given maps. What about the video quality and the audio quality? Will that matter? Yes, it will. Video and audio quality is an important aspect when evaluating a tutorial.

Tankers! Here you can discuss the Supplies Tutorial contest and ask any questions you have regarding it. Let's start!

Tankers! The Supplies Tutorial contest is over and it's time to reward the best guide with a fully micro-upgraded tank and 100,000 crystals! It’s clear the participants put a lot of effort into their videos and we’ve seen some really amazing productions. But the winning video took it a step further. This was a great combination of visuals, sound, graphics, commentary and tactical explanations. It was easy to watch and to understand. And that's exactly what a tutorial video should be. So here’s the most deserving entry, as judged by a team of developers: The guide by @GoldRock and @MarineMan2 Of course, as explained in the rules, there can only be one winner. So, since this video was created by two people, the prize will be shared. Congratulations and well done! We also felt that some entries deserved an honorable mention due to the quality of their work. So the following will receive 50,000 crystals each. @M4D_GENiUS @tommybau @DarthvaderjonGTR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQLw1lN2hik @Sewegart @Raphael2 @chullu @AdustioAtqueDelerent Well done and keep up the good work! Thank you for taking part in the contest, and don’t forget to start preparing for Masters of Parkour. You could win a unique paint and a mountain of crystals!

To tell you and other tankers about how Tanki is growing. This might be interesting for a large part of the community.

Tankers! Tanki Online has just taken a giant leap into a new, exciting adventure. The universe of Tanki Online is now in book form. The first of a whole series of books has just been launched. The story takes place in a not so distant future version of our world, recovering from ravaging wars and natural disasters. As humanity struggles to regain its footing, a new brutal sport emerges, gripping the whole world in a vice of excitement and adrenaline. Tanki Online Worldwide — a game by no means virtual — features intense clashes between roaring, fire-spitting, steel tanks. For the participants, its a high-speed road towards riches… or an early grave. For now, the book has only been launched in Russian. An English version of the book, as well as versions in other languages, might be released in the future.

I fully agree with you that a community manager's priority should be doing things that benefit large numbers of players. But it doesn't have to be like that all the time. Like now for example, I am answering your comment because I want to help you in understanding the situation and it takes me very little time to do that. It's a matter of balance. Now to the main point. Global problems that you have mentioned have very little to do with community management actually. These are issues that the whole team at Tanki is trying to solve, it's not just up to me. Just wanted to make it super clear, as many people think that a community manager is a Swiss multitool that does all the things including fixing Fatal Errors. We are doing our best, mate, and your support matters.

Double battle funds are not just about twice the crystals. They are about attracting tankers to play. And when is there a need to attract more players? Certainly on weekdays.

Tankers! You can never have too many crystals, especially with all the great special offers we’re throwing your way. That’s why we are giving you 24 hours of Double Battle Funds. Till 1 am UTC+0 on October 21 get double the fun and double the crystals for every battle you complete. Battle fund grows twice as fast, so the chances for a gold box drop are doubled too! What are you waiting for? Join a battle now!

Tankers! Episode 18 of the V-LOG has some really exciting news for you! This episode is all about adventure and discovery. Our team is back from the Brasil Game Show and they've got quite a story to share. Also, the Tanki universe is about to take a huge leap into the unknown. Of course, it wouldn't be a good V-LOG if we didn't also include all the contests and esports news you've come to expect. So, press play in the video window below to get your V-LOG dose now! Tanki Online at BGS: How it was Email for your videos: video@tankionline.com

Between the 8th and the 12th of October, the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo hosted the 5th edition of the Brasil Game Show; an international games expo. This year saw a record 250 000 visitors, and double the usual space for booths and stands occupied by industry giants. Our impressions? Absolute delight! An expo of this size is an excellent chance to try out games that will only be available in 2015. And then there’s the cosplay, booth babes, shows, prizes, gifts and never ending excitement! This is a real celebration of life, and we want to tell you all about it. Let’s start! Thousands of square meters of entertainment, dozens of stands, several huge halls, and a whole lot of games. Nick, our video guru, was barely able to get his camera ready in time to take a pic of yet another famous video game character or unusual object! But above all, it’s all about games, right? This time, Tanki Online was at BGS too, alongside projects from Sony, Activision, EA, Ubisoft and other industry giants. Most of the stand was occupied by 20 gaming PCs, where every visitor could try the game and even take part in a tournament. Over 4 days at the expo, more than 2000 players joined the fight! A huge screen which was used for displaying trailers, gameplay videos and tournament streams. Our Dictator’n’Thunder attracted a lot of attention! People were taking pics next to it, over and over again. Some visitors even got to play the game inside the tank itself! Between tournaments we had loads of contests and giveaways: stickers, T-shirts, gaming keyboards and headsets, as well as several iPads. Throughout the expo, our stand had over 20 000 visitors! So, Tanki has conquered yet another city. Who knows where our next adventure will take us!?

Tankers! PayPal is secure and easy to use. It’s also twice as convenient now, with 50% discount on all crystals puchased via this payment method! Till 1 am UTC+0 on October 18, get crystals at half price when buying with PayPal. The promotion only lasts 24 hours, so make sure you stock up!

Of course no, it doesn't mean that. It's just that the new number of servers is calculated to make sure that population of the majority of servers doesn't go above 2700 players. If it starts getting above that, we will be adding more servers. Simple as that.

No, according to our calculations the peak number of players on each server won't get above 2700, so you won't see any difference most likely. First of all, nobody took your server. It is just named RU becuase Russian players get sent there by default sometimes. It is still available to everyone, whether you use English, German or Russian version of Tanki Online. Secondly, English servers were picked for a reason, they are the least populated compared to RU and DE servers, even at weekends. So, even after this change they will be not as densely populated as RU and DE. Nothing to worry about here. As I said earlier, it's not. Many (if not the majority) English-speaking tankers play on those servers too. Their population is adequate. Population of EN servers will get to about the same number after the change is implemented.

Tankers! As announced, we have revised the number of active servers to achieve a better balance in server population. From now on, it should be a lot easier to find battles that fit your rank and experience. As of this update, the number of EN servers has been halved down to 10, and there are 2 DE servers instead of 3. We will actively monitor server population and make changes accordingly to optimize distribution.

Tankers! As promised, for 24 hours only, we’re giving you a 50% discount on Mammoth, Isida and all paints with Isida protection (Safari, In Love, Alien, Swash, Cedar, Electra, Rustle, Urban, Irbis, Taiga, Rock). Even if you didn’t take full advantage of yesterday’s crystal discount, this is a great opportunity to get your hands on some neat equipment. But hurry up, this promo ends at 1 am UTC+0 on October 12. Get them now!

It means it will stay in the game shop for 5 days. So it's introduced, it's available for 5 days, it gets replaced with a new special offer. That's the idea behind these new bundles. They are a time-limited offer.
