Way off (a lot basically) TPBM has 130000 crystals

Which map is better for Gold Boxes? Stadium and Massacre are arguably some of the best maps for getting Gold Boxes, but which is better? And which map have you caught more in?

Special Paint Sightings! We have all heard of the greats, the 'joostcool's and the 'IQ_Q's but something that we especially notice about them when we see them in battle: the paints. I would like to know if you have seen any of the staff paints or rare player paints shown here: Special Paints So far I have managed: Alligator Acid: Helper: I have also seen Champion and Silver but didn't get pictures unfortunately. Which special paints have you seen? Do you have any pictures? Do you even have one? See you on the battlefield! mcmonkey25

You need more proof, i.e. a video or other pictures of your previous score

No, it only applies to purchases made between 13th June and 12th July. It applies to anything purchased in the garage in this period. Hopefully, if I rank (and Brazil win) I will get a 50% refund on M3 Light Kit

When you're so close, yet so far...

What happened to ricochet??? :(. I think Double Power, Viking and Ricochet

OK, shall we arrange that for 11:00am GMT+0 on the 30th (I don't know what that is for you)

OK, do you want to do it tomorrow at 1:00pm your time (12:00pm for me)?

Bought M1 firebird the day before a discount...

You need more than one person. How could one tankman give help to everyone who wanted it. They would be too busy. In addition, the lowest rank ThunderGuyS can play is W.O.5 I think. Therefore, he doesn't cater for everyone.

I think that only happens in TDM's, not sure though In the past, D/L hasn't changed anything, and it hasn't changed it for anyone else...

Turret Lessons! Looking for a down-to-earth instructor to help you get the basic idea of a new weapon? Then you've come to the right place. I hold turret lessons for people between and . I specialise in Ricochet, Firebird and Thunder on any hull but I can give advice and lessons on any weapon you like. To arrange a turret lesson, fill in the following application form by PM or post on the topic: Nickname Turret Rating of skills out of 10 Time Zone (GMT) Example: mcmonkey25 Railgun 4 GMT+0 Time can be arranged after application has been accepted.

KOTH Battles (or games) With all of the new XP Battles coming out, some of us have missed a new game around called KOTH (King of the Hill). This is a guide to playing the game, good tactics and most of all how to WIN! Intro KOTH battles are a little like CP battles, just a little less official. The (fake) story goes that a couple of tankers were bored in an Abyss DM because a shaft had mined out the tower at the top and had stopped anyone from reaching him. Eventually, all the tankers teamed up and killed him all racing to the top. They then fought to stay up. Eventually, a fire and wasp was left and he proclaimed himself 'King of the Hill'. How it works Any battle mode can be used (it's quite fun in teams). Only mines (and nitro sometimes) are allowed to be used and the battles can last for around 15 mins onwards. the maximum amount of players is 20 (which can be a bit chaotic) but as few as two will do. You can decide to all use the same combo or do a 'free-for-all'. The tankers must rush to the top and try to hold out for as long as possible. Whoever is at the top at the end wins. Tactics I will highlight a couple of tactics, but do try and find one by yourself that suits you the best. Firstly, DO try and get to the top the fastest. Then try to hold out so you can lay as many mines as possible. Keep them on the outside so players can't go around them. Push players off at the corners. The ledge round the tower is very small and it easy to unbalance players who have lighter hulls. Using guns with recoil will also help to do this. Don't just stay at the top. The further up the tower you are, the more easily your mines can be dodged. Shooting the other tankers while they are avoiding your mines will make them defenceless. There are two different combinations that work best. Firstly, there is rail and wasp/hornet. This gives you the speed for getaways as well as the nimbleness to dodge mines. The Railgun also offers recoil to knock other players off with. The other combination is ricochet/twins and mammoth. This gives you the power to go over mines and counter other players attacks as well having enough recoil and weight to tip off the other players. Winning! When push comes to shove, your going to have to ruthless. Let two players battle it out for the top so you can pick off the winner more easily afterwards. Team with someone to reach the top, then knock them down (not that I've ever done that before) to proclaim yourself the winner. And finally, always stay alert. Even in the last five seconds of the battle, you can still lose (that one remains the greatest KOTH I have ever done). So get out there and make yourself the King of the Hill!

It's not a major problem, it's just that I am unsure as to how this happened: As you can see, Brambo6, yes the noob army leader (who was wearing acid) had 22 kills and I had 26 kills, yet he was still ahead of me... Can you please tell me what was wrong?

The rise of Spark! This once useless paint has turned into a vital implement on the battlefield. Spark used to be described as 'a useless paint for aesthetics' which only 'looked pretty on the battlefield'. However, as we all know, after the rebalance, ricochet became one of the best loved guns in our garages. Therefore, we need protection against it! We've all seen it, haven't we. That M2-M2 or even M3-M3 has come round the corner, wearing... DRAGON (22% Ricochet only) 3000 Well, when push comes to shove, what other choices do you have? Moonwalker (22%) 3000 In Love (5%) 15500 Desert (28%) 23000 Spark (33%) 79500 Hohloma (20%) 108500 Loam (10%) 102500 Urban (5%) 115000 Savanna (15%) 129000 Irbis (16%) 143500 Taiga (20%) 210000 Needle (20%) 210000 Clay (50%) 250000 Therefore, if you want good ricochet protection, at a decent price and that is available at a low rank, Spark is for you! However, those lucky ones who got moonwalker have got the best deal yet. One of the best ricochet protecting paints at an amazing low price. What do you think about the rise of Spark, and ricochet as well? Post your comments below! Thanks to SpiderPig1 for reminding me about Moonwalker! See you on the battlefield! mcmonkey25

I feel that my guide more describes the paints rather than gives the basic statistics. But thx anyway.

Special Paints! mcmonkey25 here with my first ever guide! In this topic I won't be discussing clan paints but instead I will be explaining the big paints given to moderators and esteemed players. Helper: Courtesy of ThunderGuyS Helper is given to some of the best and most well known helpers of the game (including joostcool and co.) With 18% from all turrets, this is an award paint for the best helpers and those who truly deserve it. The purple colour also makes it unique and makes it stand out from the other tankmen. This is the only paint given to moderators and other helpers that offers protection. Glide: Arguably one of the coolest looking paints on Tanki Online; Glide was made for the ToT team (Tanki Online Tutorials) such as Osa22. It is merely an aesthetic paint unlike the other Parkour paint Traceur which helps complete flips and tricks more easily. Reporter: Does what it says on the tin really. This paint replicates newspapers as it is for the reporters and article writers of Tanki Online. This a very selective group of around 10 writers. It offers no protection but shows a position of importance. Alligator: A fearsome paint for the most 'feared' moderators. We all dislike chat moderators in one way or another and this paint is to show there dominance over us. Tanki decided that our law enforcers needed a 'fearsome' paint and this is what they chose. A unique paint, with no protection, that really sets you aside from the rest. See if you can spot it in the caption competition as well... Tester: Most of us have been on the test server at least once, whether it be for testing a new combination, seeing the power of an old one, or even for parkour! However, the people who own this paint are dedicated to testing and experimenting with new ideas from the Tanki team for us. This paint symbolises who they are and what they do, as well as it being an unusual and intriguing paint, especially if you see it in battle! Microchip: Seen as a step up from glide in design, this paint is easily one of the most detailed of the special paints. This paint is given to consultants; a term you may not regularly hear of on the game. These people answer all of your important questions and they spend quite a while doing this (which is perhaps why you don't see them battling often). This paint has no protection but a glare that will leave you wanting to see the owner more... Flame: Fire is seen as one of the most important elements of nature. Much like the administrators are to Tanki Online. This paint is given to the top forum and chat moderators. known as administrators. It is arguably the rarest paint (except GODMODE_ON) because there are so few tankmen that make it to the top. This outstanding paint really shows the men from the boys... More Paints coming soon! See you on the battlefield! mcmonkey25

No, definitely not

85000 crystals - What to do? mcmonkey25 here with another question... I have 85000 crystals spare and I don't know what to do: Spend or save? Wait or get now? Sale or full price? I could also do with ranking up fast so I might have a few more crystals soon... A couple of things off the list are... Any modification of isida, thunder, ricochet or Viking SMP or PBP (waste of crystals I think) Any paints (already got some good ones) What do you think??? See you on the battlefield! mcmonkey25

That awkward moment when... Hello, mcmonkey25 here and I want to get a bit of a discussion going. I want to find out your most irritating, frustrating, funny or awkward moment when playing on Tanki Online. To get you going here's mine: Parkouring with friends is great fun especially in maps like Rio, so me and a friend decided to replicate a trick we had seen done by ToT. Lets say, we were close, but yet so far... Now it's your turn. I want to try and find the best (and funny) moments that have happened while you've been playing Tanki Online. See you on the battlefield! mcmonkey25 In addition, check out my Duelist Page: Duelist mcmonkey25 And also the parkourist page my friend and I set up: Parkour- Tips, Tricks and Videos

Here's my entry, hope you like it!
