Well, if you buy 5 paints you spend 5 times as many crystals.

Reecer100 was unbanned. We are sorry for that. However, from now on players (indluding staff members) are not allowed to start their own tournaments with crystal rewards, as it is difficult for chat mods to understand if it is scam or not. Thank you for understanding.

We'd like to thank you once again for taking part in the testing. Today we've been studying all the feedback from players and noted that there are still some bugs in the physics model that need to be fixed before the release. Unfortunately we'll see the new physics model on the main servers a bit later that it was expected. The thing is that sometimes tanks can drive through each other, it's a nasty bug that must be fixed. Thanks again. Without you we wouldn't detect these flaws.

They will be chosen later, but applications are no longer accepted, around 12,000 of them have already been sent.

Yep, blue one for devs, red one for players.

No, sorry. The paint will be removed from your garage on September 23. Unfortunately, the idea of this battle is two members of TO team vs two players. Perhaps Bruce will want to be one of two players :)

Dear players, thank you for taking part in the testing, it's over. Once the testing starts again, the topic will be reopened.

As for the nitro, yes, currently it adds 30% to normal speed +2. After the update it will be just +30%. Nitro will also make your tank accelerate faster.

Certainly more.

No, this is a Russian battle, only Russian players will be picked, but you can vote for them or developers. English battle like that is planned.

Of course, their ranks and everything. Then you can decide who you want to support and buy one of the paints.

Kasim won the last time.

And there will be a stream if everything goes well.

But you are spending twice as many crystals.

Players will be given M3 stuff for the battle. So they will be totally equal. And for those who will ask why this is only for Russians, a battle like that is planned for EN and DE communities as well. So it will be me and someone else against two players.

The bold one.

Mostly positively. I stated the reasons for that on the previous page.

Sounds strange, only one of them can win:)

You can watch the stream of the battle here: (in Russian) http://tankionline.com/ru/tv/ Dear players! On September 20, at 4 pm (UTC+0) a very special battle will be held, called “Kasim and Sun against…”. There will be two tandems fighting against each other. One of them will consist of Kasim, one of the first community managers of Tanki Online, the guy who is responsible for all the contests. You may have also seen him in Russian video blog. Sun is equally famous for being one of the first members of Tanki Online team. Another tandem is going to be made of two Russian players chosen randomly. For the purpose of the battle two special paints (“Vote for developers” and “Vote for players”) will appear in your garages on September 19 and will be there till September 23. One of them is for fans of developers’ tandem. Another one is for those who think that players’ tandem will win. What does it have to do with our community? It’s very simple actually. You can vote for one of the tandems by buying one of the paints. If your tandem wins, you will get a crystal reward! Each paint cost 1000 crystals. The prize pull will be made of all the crystals spent on both paints. It will be shared among those who supported the winning tandem (and bought the corresponding paint). So, if you bought “Vote for developers” paint and the developers won, you will get a part of the pool. ATTENTION: players that purchased both paints will not receive anything from the prize pool. ----------------------- Players for the battle have been chosen! nelun - Second Lieutenant do.bro - Second Lieutenant Substitute: oleg20011709 - Second Lieutenant

All the feedback has been studied by game designers. Changes are already being made to the hulls' parameters.

And for those who didn't have a chance to try it all out, here's a brief list of all the changes: Wasp The fastest and the most maneuverable hull. The smallest weight. Not the best acceleration and braking. Hornet A fast hull with a good weight. Drifts in turns so it's unlikely to roll over. Hunter A medium hull with high speed. Acceleration has been decreased. Dictator Lighter than Hunter, but heavier than Hornet. The most maneuverable of all the medium hulls. Viking Very stable and heavy hull. Easily pushes other hulls, except for heavy ones. Decreased maneuverability. Titan Heavy hull, can push other tanks. A lot less maneuverable than medium hulls. Mammoth Big and slow. Low maneuverability. The best protection. All turrets Increased recoil when shooting. Higher kinetic impact on opponents' hulls. Turrets' rotation speed has been slightly increased. Ricochet Projectiles travel a lot faster. Twins Projectiles' speed has been decreased by one-third. Mine Kinetic impact has been increased.

The reason we got the refund back in the day wasn't due to changes in parameters of turrets and hulls. It happened because the whole system of weapons was changes. Things you were able to get at your rank became impossible to buy after the update. Tier 1 and Tier 2 got removed and all the guns and hulls were made equal. This time it's just parameters of SOME turrets and hulls, it's even more about how hulls feel. Secondly and most importantly it's about technical limitations, now it's impossible to give all the crystals back to all the players as easily as it was done the last time. SO there won't be a refund. Also don't forget that it's still a test and some thing will most likely be adjusted. Don't forget that people tend to be afraid of new things, then they get used to it. This case is not an exclusion. Just try it out, wait till it is released, you gonna love it.

Dear players. Thank you for taking part in the discussion. As we see, the best option is to enable the voting feature in the forum. We will see if it is possible to do that only in the EN forum and discuss it with all the mods. If it is feasible and everyone agrees, it will be done and players will get an ability to effectively evaluate the work of moderators and other staff members.

Dear players! Today we are starting an open testing of the new physics model for hulls. Just enter the test server to try it out: http://test2.tankionline.com/battle-en4.html All tanks have been given new unique features that make the gameplay more varied and dynamic. Check how the gameplay has changed and feel free to report any bugs and inaccuracies in this topic. Also, Moon Silence will be removed from the game together with the release of the new physics. There are two reasons for this. The first one is its low gravity that doesn't allow our anti-cheat software to operate at its fullest. The second one is the new physics model mentioned above, which is developed for maps with standard gravitation. ------------------------------------------------ We'd like to thank you once again for taking part in the testing.

This kind of thing doesn't happen in battles limited by time. So if it is less than 1 minute left till the end, there won't be a notification. Battles limited by kills or flags is another thing completely, it can't be predicted, so situations like this happen and it is inevitable.
