I am not surprised. Tanki have to keep the Russians interested in the game today, as Russia is facing South Korea in the World Cup. You can work out that there will be x2 Battle Credit on 22nd June and 26 June, when Russia is playing.

player statistics must be down, in desperation something to attract players away from the World Cup matches today: Colombia v Greece, Uruguay v Costa Rica and England v Italy.

It would be nice to have a flag of our nation in our garage.

Contact Tanki Support Desk....they are not very helpful, but worth a try. they should be renamed: Tanki Unsupportive Desk

I would like to see football tanki. Firing at a ball in the direction of the goal. It would be a massacre :-D

I cannot select my country England, they will be knocked out quickly :-D So it is between Brazil or Argentina....but Colombia are the dark horses who are really good. I can see the Africans doing well due to the climate. Asian teams will do ok, the odd one will do well. We will see many of the European teams struggling, playing in hot climate. Spain and Portugal will be best from Europe. For some reason I feel the Germans will be knocked out early. They are suffering from injuries.

I have played the game to death over the double battle credit period. What a mad panic to raise funds for 50% off tank parts and micro upgrades. Now I am exhausted and I now need a holiday :-D

Prodigi paint is included in Heavy M3 Kit, so why have the same paint for Medium M3 Kit I bought M3 Heavy Kit...so it pointless and not cost affective to buy and M3 Medium Kit.

talk about cramming the discounts in a short space of time :-D Sale all good. I think now there is going to be a mad panic from all to save up crystals :-D So servers will reach there maximum capacity. Tanki I do hope you have something planned for the World Cup....as you might find a lot of players diverting their attention to the football.

excellent stuff. everybody should be happy with that. everybody is a winner :-)

As you bring up Staff, I find when you email Tanki Support email address. Sometimes I feel there is no point. Tanki Support will come back with abrasive responses and there is no one to complain to. Semyon Kirov such a well known figure, he is a little too important to read your emails or let alone reply. I do have a couple of examples....but only if somebody in authority is interested. There are some decent members on the forum, but some members staff need to get off their high horse and remember they are talking to a human being. Arrogance and ignorance towards players will not keep this game alive.

Am i not surprised Hornet is the most popular

boring turret some users are saying. You have to vary the turrets, otherwise it would get boring. Isida is not going to be as fun as twins, firing constantly. I class Isida as a skilled turret and not for everyones liking. If you have an M3 with fully Micro Upgraded; Self-heal, Re-load and Damage. It is good in Polygon DM. Sadly I have noticed since the re-balancing, Isida is not very popular at my rank anymore. Good news, less Isida protective paint I have to face :-D

I hate railguns. I have now some sort hatred towards railguns. All started from playing DM - Desert Map. The railguns will sit back and team up. Some may drug constantly. The poor players in the middle of the map would suffer and if you try to go near the railguns, they will gang up on you. Very rarely did I see railgun v railgun in DM - Desert Map. I have Prodigi paint...and I go after railgun blood. It is so satisfying to annoy them back. It is funny when the railguns run away together with any sign of trouble. they are sneeky and I hate railguns.

It is best to aim for quality. Go for an M3 turret and hull, nothing less. M2's are history when you are high rank. Hornet is good for large maps with Railgun. If you want to get stuck in, get a mammath or a titan. If you want to hit and run, hornet and wasp are good for that.

Rico is now the most favourable turret now after the re-balancing.

After the re-balancing in April this year, Isida M3 is no longer a desirable turret anymore. when you dedicate a huge amount of crystals to micro upgrade to the max, you do not expect tanki developers to degrade the weapon so much. re-load time has increased from 8.77 to 10.00. self-heal has been decreased from 70 to 50. heal has been decreased from 72 to 66. The only change is good, is Damage has been increased, but not by much, from 62 to 64. I get on with Isida in Polygon DM Maps, as you have somewhere to hide, enabling you to reload without being disturbed. I find it a hit and run weapon now, due to the slow reload. When it comes to Desert DM Maps....Isida is not a good turret. No where to re-load as you are exposed. When it comes to CTFs, your energy is drained quickly from extra work in healing and killing. You cannot count on the positive feature Self-Heal anymore. Only thing you can do is, Self Heal and run away before you are spotted and then twiddle your thumbs waiting for re-load to be completed. It feels like a warn out turret now. Hopefully the Developers will see what they have done wrong soon.

I am happy for the Micro Upgrade discount, but I wish it was not provided during the Double Battle Credit offer. It would have been best next week. Many players will not use the Speed Up option when Micro Upgrading due to the high cost. So instead they will wait for their Micro Upgrade is complete, which means their favourite hulls and turrets will be temporarily out of action, missing out on the ongoing Double Battle Credit offer. To all those players fed up waiting for a 50% discount on hulls and turrets, personally I would save for a Kit. The sale will come, but unexpectedly. Tanki thank you for the Double Battle Credit offer, it has been amazing and I will take advantage of the Micro Upgrade discount.

those who complain that this micro upgrade discount is unwanted...don't be selfish.

25% is becoming a popular figure from Tanki Management. I will patiently wait for 50% discount.

You state that we will be adding personal profiles and achievements, to be viewed by fellow players. Will this include a national flag showing where the player is from? Will you be able to modify your profile, like age and languages spoken? Different question, regarding the hulls, will you be able to modify the colours of your paint? even better will it be possible to have national flag on the hull...which you can see on real tanks?

I read the comments and so conclusion is that after so many users unhappy with the new hull and turret re-balancing, it would have been nice for Tanki to offer a 50% off on paints. That is what the many of the players expect. With Tanki's bulls-up with re-balancing, they now disappoint players even more with 25% off on paint, rather than 50% off. Somebody writes we should be grateful for the sales, my answer to that is, you have to keep players interested in the game long-term. It is all about give and take. I think if there were not any sales, I would probably get fed up and give up the game. I find the battle credits very low and so saving up for Twins M3, takes an eternity. When there is a decent sale, it shows appreciation to the players and keeps them in the game.

Great comment Canadian_Eh On the day of the rebalancing, I could not play the game...I was so upset I gave it a go today and now you see an increase in players using over powered twins. It is very upsetting about Viking. You had a recent vote of which hull you wanted to be 50% and majority chose Viking...then Tanki Developers decided to change the balance of the Viking shortly after the sale. Why is Tanki cheating us...especially the buyers. What annoys me is that you invest into Micro Upgrading your Isida, getting that self-heal up...then when you are nearing the end of completing your parameter, Tanki decide to dramatically decrease the self-heal. You sit there thinking, why did I bother Micro-Upgrading in the first place. I saw a complaint earlier where some player bought crystals and Micro Upgraded his isida to the max...and now he feel cheated. Isida is now a complete joke. Once a great turret, now it is not worth having. Tanki Developers clearly show they do not care for their players.

My feedback of game play today on Polygon DM map after re-balancing: I was using M3 Isida and Viking. Managed to do well, but you have to hide more due to the extra weaknesses. As Self Heal is weak and Re-load is slow, Isida is now more vulnerable. You have to play now with more patients. You have to do surprise attacks and you cannot sit in the middle of map and survive for long. Soon as you have destroyed a tank, you must go straight into a hiding place to re-charge. Sadly Twins are showing their presence more in the game, as many players are dissolutioned with their main weapons. I found a mixture of M2 and M3 Twins being used. That is how bad it has got. Sadly as Viking is lighter, it is now more difficult to face twins and the Isida's Self-Heal struggles against the continuous plasma hits. Don't forget that twins has triple advantage, from firing at distance to close range and the ability to have continuous fire. Whereas Isida only has the luxury of close range. The only good news is that Isida afflicts a little more damage than before. My conclusion, Isida's only hope in the game is to be fully Micro Upgraded. Isida will only be good in areas where you can hide, to be able to reload. As Isida cannot survive for long, it will be a useless weapon in Desert DM map. I hope this feedback is helpful and reaches the Tanki Developers.

reading the comments, some kids are getting carried away, but kids will be kids....but their comments should be taken seriously, From an adult point of you: I can deal with the hull changes, but the turrets have been drastically altered and not all for the best. Tanki Developers should have taken the step of slight adjustments to see how game play is affected. It really does look like this has been a rushed project. It is definitely a risk they have undertaken, as for example, one annoyed buyer bought crystals to perfect their turret and now it has been degraded. Buyers are the most important players in the game and I do not think it was a good idea to upset them. Also potential Buyers would now think twice before buying crystals. My main weapon is an Isida M3 virtually fully upgraded for Damage, Self-Heal and Re-load. This turret might as well be scrapped now. It had its weakness with the slow reload, which gave an opportunity for the enemy to kill me. Even if Self-Heal was quick, in those few seconds of waiting for re-load, I would be destroyed. Now as re-load is slower, Isida has little chance to survive long. As Self-Heal is nearly non-existent, Isida would be destroyed even quicker. Damage has increased, but only slightly...but not enough to compensate for the other parameter losses. It is a great ashame, but the only way to get the Developers attention is to give the game a rest for a while. As soon as they see the game play statistics reduce, I am sure after they will listen to you and read your comments.
