May 1st as well as May 9th, though the percentage has not yet been released by the developers. There will also be sales on the week of Tanki's birthday, June 4th. As many have stated, please ask questions in the Q&A Topic or the Help Site. Also, see these topics for more information: Upcoming Sales and Lets Discuss Sales.

"Quick Draw" Map: Stadium Equipment: Shaft, Wasp, Holiday Prizes: To be decided Description of event: Every player is equipped with a shaft and a wasp. All players are enclosed in the middle of Stadium buy a wall of mines. Tankers are allowed to drive around the map. Tankers can not shoot until the time reaches a certain point. At this point, everyone is free to shoot. The last person standing will be the winner. Because the combination is shaft/wasp, this will be very fast and intense. Multiple rounds can be done. Feel free to change anything! I wouldn't be surprised if something like this has not been suggested earlier.

I may or may not agree with the fact that Tanki is going downhill. But it is unfair to blame Semyon for any of it. He is just the English community manager. He doesn't make decisions for sales, kits, discounts, double funds, or any of it and is not a developer. He may be the star of the V log, but none of TO's problems fall on him. Issuing Semyon a 'life bann' would simply be unfair. EDIT Looks Defeat1 beat me to the punch eleven seconds before me -_-

I can't play or try to catch these 3K goldboxes because I am 4 kills from ranking and my rank up party is scheduled for later... - - - Person below me: Nice photoshop. Watch me try:

Forum is lagging like crazy... and to me I think that all players should be able to leave comments in the Press section. The Newspaper has contests and useful guides, and Low Rankers shouldn't be prevented in taking part.

No clue why I used M2 Mammoth instead of M3 Titan Snapped the pic a bit late. This was one of my coolest goldcatches, tis a shame I didn't record it. Anyways, it was falling below the house. I jumped from the ledge above the house. Didn't jump far enough, but landed on tanks that were on the house and did a handstand... then flipped backwards and took the gold, landing rightside up with a well timed railgun shot.

Other [Issue 34] 13 Surprising Facts: Real Tanks
S.C.Y.T.H.E replied to S.C.Y.T.H.E in [Issue 34] 13 Surprising Facts: Real Tanks Newspaper Archive
1. In real life, there is no health bar. Surprising, huh? 2. Armor thickness and penetration. Tanks are covered with a layer of strong metal. This metal protects the tank from enemy tank rounds and bullets. The goal of this armor is to prevent the round (bullet) from penetrating the armor and entering the tank. The thicker the armor, the harder it is to penetrate the tank. Most real tanks have much more armor on the front of the tank than on the back. This armor can be very thick, several inches. In many tanks, the armor is more than seven inches thick. Bullets from normal guns would bounce off tank armor like ping-pong balls. 3. Armor Angling. Tanks are all about protection. Protection from bullets and tank rounds. There is another strategy to increase the effectiveness of tank armor besides just adding more layers: Set the armor at an angle. This is vastly effective, and is similar to increasing armor thickness, yet you do not need as much armor allowing the tank to be lighter. Imaging you throw a ball at a wall. Imaging the tank round hitting angled armor in slow motion. All of its forward momentum won’t be used to penetrate the armor. Instead it hits the armor and ricochets at an angle, using its energy to continue moving forward without going through the armor. The lower the angle, the more effective it is. Hunter has angled armor. This diagram illustrate how armor angling works: 4. In modern tank rounds, there are no explosives. The round is simply designed to hit armor at a high speed and penetrate. The tank armor will shatter, resulting in shrapnel. There is no need for explosives. Paradoxically, low armored tanks sometimes have an advantage. If a powerful tank round hits the low armored tank, it will simply pass through the light armor and not injure the crew. This light armor creates less shrapnel, and the tank round will not ricochet around inside of the tank. 5. There is a difference between a destroyed tank and a knocked-out tank. In this game, as soon as a tank’s health bar is fully depleted, the tank will explode. In actuality, tanks are hardier than they seem. The main way a tank is rendered dysfunctional is when the crew is dead. Shrapnel, well placed rounds, and fire lead to the death of the crew. But when the crew is dead, the tank is often times still drivable. When a tank is knocked out, it no longer is fighting. When a tank is destroyed, it is no longer usable whatsoever. 6. The Crew. You may think that you are the tank. However, actual tanks are controlled by a crew of about four people (depending on the tank). The normal positions are: Commander (bosses everyone around) Gunner (fires and aims the cannon when the Commander tells him to do so) Driver (Drives the tank) Loader (Loads the cannon). Imagine being stuffed inside a tank with four or five other people for hours at a time in a metal box, constantly worrying about being blown into smithereens… 7. Tanks can get infested with rats. Particularly in German Panzers, many tanks became infested with rats during World War II. Watch V-Log Episode 30 for more information. 8. Tanks are expensive. Most modern tanks cost about $5 Million USD. This is a very hefty sum. The most expensive tank, the French AMX-56 Leclerc (which is still in service), costs $27 Million USD. So maybe a couple hundred thousand crystals for an M3 isn’t so bad a price after all… 9. There are lots of tanks. During World War II, where the most tanks were used, over 120, 000 tanks were produced by both sides. There are over half a million tanks still existing the world right now. But... there are probably many more virtual tanks than real. In this game alone, there are at least 20 million users. That's 20 million Hunter/Smokys in this game alone. 10. Tanks are old. Armored vehicles have been used since World War I, almost one hundred years ago. The french build Renault FT is considered the first real tank, and was built in 1917, 97 years ago. Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for a tank-like armored vehicle way back in the 1400s! 11.. Some tanks can float. Yes, floating tanks with nearly boat-like designs have been used even before WW2. The British created the amphibious Vickers-Carden-Loyd in the 1930s. ‘Donald Duck’ tanks were used quite frequently during WW2. These DD tanks were essentially floating versions of commonly used tanks. They proved quite useful during D Day. 12.. Tanks are fast. Modern Main Battle Tanks have an average speed of 45 mph, or 72 kmh. Suffice it to say, this is much faster than a Mammoth or Titan. In fact, I would guess that this is similar to the speed of Hornet or Wasp. 13. Tanks are heavy. The average tank weighs 60 tonnes. That's 120,000 pounds or 54,000 kilograms. This is thirty times heavier than the average automobile. In real life, you wouldn't see tanks being flipped by enemy weapons. You would very rarely see tanks going airborne, or parkouring on top of buildings. Most of all, you wouldn't see tanks landing on top of each other or falling long distances without being crushed.- 32 replies

Almost all hulls have rear-mounted turrets. This means that the turret is mounted in the back of the tank rather than the front. So when popping out to shoot, you expose less of yourself if you drive backwards. Of course, Mammoth is not rear mounted. Also, some tanks are just funner to drive backwards.

There was in fact a time limit. It timed out yesterday at the server update. Most likely after today's server update a new M3 kit will take its place. You can buy this equipment during a sale, or wait for the kit to come around again.
