Win over full gizmo takeover team today :D - 8:0

My two cents after testing this change if anyone wants to know....Turrets with faster rotation speed on light hulls will have significant difference in gameplay when nitro is activated and you are moving forwards, turn turret to the side and shoot and turn turret back to center again. This difference will be felt by higher ranks since they would have microupgraded the turret rotation speed more....so the higher your rank, the higher chance that you have an upgraded turret and the more this will affect you....that's bad news for M4s..You wont notice much difference if you dont turn your turret too much or if you are on a heavy hull....for shaft this is an excellent update....railgun and hornet users will find it difficult to cope with the change Edited: Played rail hornet as well as fire hornet on Serpuhov, Kungur and Sandbox...I dont think this is that bad, should be something you can get adjusted to....I am not bothered by this update

Go helpers!!!

2 gold boxes in 1 day....woohoo...thats never happened...thanks to the new experiment and lady luck

Its almost like double funds...check this out just now in a 30 min battle...awesome...there is a catch of course, you have to be on the winning team which means your whole team should play well and as 1 unit to win but I think Semyon already mentioned that if this works, there will be a new system to calculate battle rewards...wonder what double funds will be like after this update....loving this :wub:

IMO...This has to be one of the best updates that Tanki has ever made...crystal drops in the battle are an unneccessary distraction and what should matter is everyone contributing equally in a team battle to winning as a team and not on winning the most amount of crystal drops...this sort of gives a feel where everyone is playing PRO battles...awesome....full marks to the team/guy that thought this up!!!

already have both M3...no purchase this time...but still good discount lots of paints with thunder protection - something to keep in mind when buying

who needs 100 crystal boxes when u can win in the first place against a stronger team B)

IMO...isida's new visual effect looks cartoonish...instead of a transfer of nanobots...it really looks like a vampire sucking blood now...which is what Isida does to enemy tanks anyways...so not sure if that was intentional railgun's new visual effect...makes no difference to me..

Against an attack comprising of rails, smokys, thunders and shaft in a Serpuhov TDM, the guy in 2nd place in the red team changed from rail m3 viking m3 into M3 Mammy M3 Twins and Prodigi...unless you are Godmode_on such a move can only be disastrous...well I dont think even Godmode would do that...we had lots of fun trolling this guy by running around the buildings taking turns shooting at him even as he kept activating supplies in vain

when i joined score was red 2 - 0 blue ...captured the last flag with 3 seconds to end

General leading from the front in the stadium after ranking up yesterday...when I joined score was red 7-0 blue...

Hornet is upgrading - decided to try the 'Mosquito' - M3 Rail, M2 wasp + Prodigi [(& drugs ;-) ] - good results

Got viking M3...awesome sale!

Nice...got Savanna, Inferno and Jade today

Took a break and enjoyed playing a really good evenly matched 1 hr Serpuhov CTF today - the team that drugs strategically and as a team definitely has an advantage now. Good thing there were no mults and the 3rd Lt was using Isida and helping us to cap as well as defend aggressively - we let him cap quite a few flags including the winning one....good team spirit all around!!

If you work out the maths, that does make sense. Like for example, if you already have non-MU Freeze M2 and Viking M2, it does seem better to wait for a 50% discount sale to purchase the items individually since it works out much cheaper. However, considering the manner in which these kits are being advertised - "And remember, you will receive additional discounts for any running promotions at the time of purchase" makes me believe that during the time that the kits are available in the garage, the marketing/devs team might schedule additional discounts for those specific items in the kit to attract buyers. So, the trick would be to wait for a potential sale until the last day when the kit is active in the garage and then buy the kit if you have both items at M0 or M1...its possible that you could get a much higher discount than 50% that way

Already bought Medium Tank M2, Light Tank M3 and Heavy Tank M3 kits in the past...guess Medium Tank M3 kit with Fire+Hunter will have to wait Now waiting to buy the Refrigerator Kit....lol :D

Soorya, enjoyed it man - Cant believe its been exactly a year - You were 3rd Lt and I was W05... :wub:

TDM takeover with drugs after smart cooldowns using Heavy M3 :D

Thanks I.Epicness...I hope I can get time to play between work and dont get stuck with the last "L" rank for too long

Ranked up today - finally - Thanks again to all my fellow colleagues who joined

If smart cooldowns are meant to encourage strategic use of supplies and improve tactics and game planning, this update should have been combined with a simultaneous revision in rank limits within the game. The reason being that while the successful use of supplies in a battle does depend on skill and tactics, it is heavily influenced by the equipment available to a user. At present, a major can go into a battle with a generalissimo -> even if the major is extremely skilled and uses supplies tactfully, what good would his equipment be versus for instance, a generalissmo who has a mammoth m3 and picks up a double armor in Island map?? Post this update, I foresee mults who used to pick up crystals now also picking up drop box supplies and thus ruining the tactical game play for an entire team...and technically, picking up drop box supplies is not even a bannable offence - thats a loophole! Imagine running back to base with the enemy flag on low health and a mult picks up a health dropbox in front of you For an update that will impact every player and every rank in this game who uses supplies or not, in my opinion, Tanki should have run a poll amongst all 3 communities and consolidated the player's opinion as well...I am sure the developers would have the best interest of the players in mind when they discussed this and felt the need to proceed with this update but this is not like a 50% discount poll for three turrets kind of thing...supplies impact everyone and IMO, I don't think that this approach of now asking players to test and provide feedback and be prepared since this update is coming whatever you say or dont, is the best thing to do
