We need artillery. I want to be one-shotted by tanks that I have no hope of hitting.

Don't they all? Whenever I make an equilateral triangle, the eye appears in the middle of it.

Gravity! A sphere is made because gravity wants to make everything as close as possible. Think of a triangular pyramid: The tips aren't very close to the rest of it. Because all points on the surface of a sphere are the same distance from the center, a sphere is stable. You might now be thinking, "Then why do we have mountains?" Because gravity on Earth isn't big enough to pull them down, so even though we have a spherical planet, it's not perfect.

*LE GASP* "We didn't penetrate their armor!" Face it, you read it in the dude's voice. I know this because I play World of Tanks. There's also angling of the tank, hulled-down positions and side-scraping. Also, modern tanks can have Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) which explodes when hit and prevents damage (albeit only once before needing to be replaced). There's a few exceptions, most notably High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) and High Explosive Squash Head (HESH). Destroying a tank's tracks and rendering it immobile is a particularly easy way to deal with a tank. While it can still shoot and bounce shots, it can now be easily flanked or even ignored. If you play WoT like me, you'll also be familiar with the Radio Operator. We don't have them so much anymore, but they were particularly important in Hitler's invasion of France. Rats love small dank spaces. It's no wonder they'd inhabit a tank. Sorry, you can't pick a tank up at a local garage sale. When you consider all the tank games out there (Tanki, WoT, War Thunder, etc.) yeah, virtual tanks easily outnumber the real ones. I wouldn't call da Vinci's design a real tank, as it would have none of the endurance or cross-country mobility of a tank. Also, no turret. The Duplex Drive (DD) tank is not the same tank as the Vicker-Carden-Lloyd. The DD tank was a modified Sherman with a waterproofed underbelly, cloth skirt for a hull, and two propellers to drive through the water. It had...mixed results on D-Day. The Ripsaw light tank can actually hit 95 mph and has a 0-60 time of 3 seconds. Fun fact: it doesn't carry any people. Please keep in mind that "tonne" =/= "ton". In pounds, 60 tonnes is closer to 132,000 lbs.

Not true! There are many large maps in the game, perfect for Shaft. Madness and Berlin come to mind. The problem is that hardly anyone wants to play those maps, even though they're really awesome. Nice article. It's cute that you wrote a whole article on probably the least exciting piece of Tanki. Seriously, the EULA entertains me more than walls.

Get definitive video and photography of any and/or all religious figures to disprove or substantiate their claims.

How do you think it can be improved? Personalization. I know people have said this and rejected this before, but avatars, signatures, title, etc. I've never seen another forum without them. And don't say we don't have enough mods to regulate that! There's plenty of mods, which brings me to point two... The mods are scary. Goodness, most second pages of the forums are half filled with locked threads. That's insane! What you like about it? I enjoy the voting system. Also, the people. Another thing: When devs come on and talk to us directly. I wish more devs did that. What sections you like most? This one and Off-Topic. When and why did you start to post here? I don't remember. How did it affect your life online? Not much. Did you learn anything new? I lost all hope for the future of Tanki, but other than that, no. And any other thoughts you have... I'm surprised there are no TvMs in the forum game section.

Game Theory's first Five Nights at Freddy's video. I had nightmares for a month.

Oh goodness. Microupgrades. I never thought that the devs would do anything like this, but I suppose they're really trying to make this into a pay2win game. Basically, if you have the crystals (and the only way to have that many crystals is by having the cash), you can totally unlock the next modification for your turret. You could run around with a Rail that's at modification "level 1.999..." at Warrant Officer 3. That's insane! And Tanki just confirms this thinking by handing you the next modification for free because, well, it's really a whole level up in everything but name and looks! I wish the Unity Tanki montage was a bit more informative. However, I did manage to figure out that instead of being awesome and making cool new maps, they've recreated one of the less popular maps: Boombox (at least, I think that's the title). Bummer. At least the test box was cute as all get out. By the way, I'm betting that a version of this will be the new drug. It just won't make you turn into a sheep, or eat the flag.

I don't get it. There aren't any instructions, helpful tips or explanatory things. Remember, you gotta make it *****-proof, or some ***** is gonna mess it up for ya! (I'm not cussing here, it's just Tanki overreacting.)

"Does the /vote command still work?" Did it ever? In a year and a half of Tanki, I've never actually seen a mod come to a battle before.

Pure, unadulterated fun. None of this "smart cooldowns, predictable drops, PRO Battles, night mode," stuff. I just want fun, Tanki. You don't need to add anything for that. Just let me have my fun...

You know what? The Kick 2 system looks great. Hey, it's even got charts and graphs and fancy graphics on its thread. But they're never going to implement it. Why? Because it's their game, and they'll never admit that someone else could make it better than they could. The devs have even told the creators of that idea, "Yeah, we're probably not going to implement it. If we do, we're not doing it any time soon." (Paraphrase.)

Since the beginning of the year, I have become more and more disgusted and shocked at the Tanki V-Log. But this...this is failure at its finest. First of all, let's discuss Semyon. He tries, so hard. But he only manages to come off as exaggerated and childish. A lot of Tanki's hardcore players are teenagers, stop talking to us like we're ten! Also, if you're trying to keep it kid-friendly, why did you cuss? "Hell of a time." Seriously? Second, Esports. I admire that you're trying to make Tanki Online a competitive gaming scene. But if I wanted to hear about Esports, I would actually watch the livestreams and read the threads. And really, if Esports is so big, why not give it its own mini V-Log. Third, please cut out the lame jokes. No, a "Friday without a V-Log" will NOT make the Earth turn the opposite direction. Not that I really think of it, that's actually a really egotistical thing to say. I somewhat enjoyed the "Princess Bride" reference, but with Semyon's aforementioned lackluster performance, it came off as cheesy. Okay, let's talk about the actual news inside. Esports: don't care. See above. Balance "Review": The person summarized the review, and then...that's it. I was hoping he would tell us how to take advantage of or deal with the changes in balance, but the most he talked about on this point was the many instances of "You won't notice the difference." Seriously? If I won't notice the difference, then why did you "balance" it in the first place? Holiday Celebration: HOLY CATS! What's wrong with the sales we normally get? Double battlefund is great, sales on all equipment is great, but you've taken this to an extreme. Look, other games and businesses all agree that the best place to put sales is on Christmas, but you've blown the Christmas celebration out of the water with this obscure holiday. Four days of double battlefund is more than plenty, and goldboxes....goodness. Double goldboxes are great! x5 Goldboxes are extreme! x9 goldboxes are a joke! You don't have to make every sale and event bigger and better than the last. Otherwise, sales and events become insanely out of proportion, like this one! Well, at the end of it, I can only say this: There's only one thing I like about the V-Log, and that's the cute "Test Box" animation at the end.

Actually, I've quit playing entirely. The Tanki forum is my only connection. I only hope that someday Tanki will make a turnaround, a shift for something better, but that hope is fading with the weeks. Perhaps I'll abandon even the forum soon...
