Player m.taha.khan.tanki has been banned for a day. Reason: Deliberate inaction, helping the opposing team, against your own team, conspiracy with the players of the opposing team (sabotage)

Player was upset over previous loss; switched top our team and was non stop attacking Dallas_Oswald until he switched to Holiday and low level wasp rico to mult although was still shooting teammates. deleted

Was alternating between sabotaging and multing. Sabotage resumes at 2 minutes. Please block. delete

I would like to know why an M3 Thunder with max damage cannot destroy an M3+ Viking in neutral paint after 3 shots? Thunder M3 @ Max = 110 damage 3 Shots x 110 = 330 330 > 315 (Armor for M3+ Viking) Shouldn't the math correspond with the outcome? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivA8KuFJeX8 I have tried from many angles but I simply cannot kill a Viking in 3 shots. If anyone knows what one needs to do for maximum damage do tell. With the Viking having around 10% health left after 3 near maximum hits it seemed like those 3 Thunder shots only delivered around 100 hp in damage each. Where's the other 10% of the damage?

I would argue that there is far more incentive to hack at higher ranks. With a good M4 garage costing hundreds of dollars or more there seems to be more and more of it happening since it is the cheapest way for some people to compete. Its almost impossible to prove in regular drugged matches but in non-drugged Pro matches its a good idea to know just how much damage you can give or get from an M4 combination. Tanks that exceed that are usually referred to sarcastically as M5. When that shaft 1 shots you in your needle painted viking or it takes 1½ bars of your M4 isida to kill a dictator without isida paint and you're alone in a tunnel it should be obvious that these people are hacking. Some steps you can do to expose the hackers: 1. Stick to Pro matches without supplies or drops since cheating there will be far more obvious 2. Benchmark your tank against some friends that have top M4 gear in their garages - know how many shots (or yellow bar) it should take your main turrets to kill various common M4 hulls (both naked and protected) - know how many shots it takes some common M4 turrets to kill your main hulls - know your paints and the maximum upgrades so you can factor these into your benchmarks http://en.tankiwiki.com/Micro-upgrades 3. Don't be afraid to be a little suspicious: - how can someone afford M4 hulls and turrets when all they can afford is Storm paint? - how is that guy in second place with an M2 this or that? - if someone is lagging badly but drives and shoots perfect ask yourself "how?" - when things seem outside the limits of your benchmarking say "how is that possible?" 4. If you get suspicious, then start recording (there are lots of free screen recorders out there) - if you catch some cheating make sure it isn't a paint you don't know or an unseen isida or smoky etc... - test what happened with your M4 buddies and see if that should have happened - if it doesn't all still doesn't add up, then report them using that video to game violations so that they get the block they deserve http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=158 Tweaked tanks do get blocked thank goodness.

Player leaves at 8:20. Does nothing whole time and had done nothing the previous 30 minutes while team was losing 0 to 4. Player is at far right under the deck area. delete

Red took two early flags - no rules against that but no class either so I switched from red to blue out of disgust. Play t1.1 takes 4th flag and delays ending by 30 minutes. Don't the following 3 rules cover that? 2.1.8. Any forms of manipulation or conspiracy in the Game; 2.1.9. Performance of any actions that have a negative influence on the Game development and image; 2.1.10. Other forms of unsporting behavior that hinder the normal game process which will be recognized as such by the Administration. delete Losing opponents are forced to either stop wasting time and quit a battle or wait far longer than necessary to get extremely small rewards.How is this good for Tanki?

Unprovoked anger and excessive interference with teammate... lasted much longer than this 15 minute video. delete

Player Vitalik2014-GTi repeatedly sabotages and mults throughout game. Dictator/Smoky - very obvious Kindly please do more than the usual 24 hour chat ban as these saboteur players cost honest players crystals, never chat and we lose a ton of time recording, saving and uploading, posting... and it all seems like it is for nothing. delete

Sabotage flipping teammates, pushing them off... got even worse when video ran out at 15 minutes. Players like that ruin this game. delete

Comes in, does absolute minimum... provokes the team. More engaged in chat than combat. Left game later after video is complete - comes back and again does nothing to help team. delete

Polygon CP with M1 equipment, never went near pit and cost everyone on the team over 1000 crystals. delete Would have won match without this tanker multing. Again ripped off by people without ethics.

This is a widely known mult who likes to go under defender at criitcal moment and turn them. He pretends to be playing but sabotages at critical moments. Tyuityui is driving Wasp/Rico/Prod. Almost impossible for full M4 Wasp to go under my mammoth. Tried it subsequent to this video. I suspect he is micro hacking to be able to go under as easily. Mild interference at 1:50 2:50 and 3:50. Major interference/lifting/sabotage at 7:40. At the end interferes with 2 team tanks to allow enemy to escape and is not firing. Everyone on blue deserves compensation for him stealing this match. delete

Player HA9DUK never helped the team. Player never killed one enemy in very long match. Player was always shooting and obstructing team mates. I only started video later in the game. delete

I hardly want to use my vespa (wasp) anymore... Seriously! How realistic is a tank tipping from a shot? Hornet isn't much better... Nice to be able to aim at visible turrets but the knock-over factor seems so arcadish... would rather get killed. I like the quasi-realism of Tanki but this is a serious distraction in an Isida when you can't right yourself from your side. At least the Viking is getting dusted off now. The tip over factor is too extreme!

It just makes the no crystal drop Pro matches better and better. ;)

I think the rail gun and its rifling effect would have looked exceptionally cool in a very light grey, or bluish grey. The yellow makes it look arcade like. The M3 Isida looks like a Cool Whip when healing. And between healing and damaging like a couple of cheesy bathroom water taps and the effects often don't look right from certain angles. You can see square edges at times.

Real world? None of the senior officer ranks (and most likely junior officer ranks and WOs) would be driving or firing the tank! L

Good article and I would like to add: I totally agree that it is lower than low to drag out a last flag. Your teammates may need to go after a long match, the opponents want to go and may have stayed just to make it a match for everyone. Nobody gains much and just loses the ability to move on to something else they wish to do. Totally selfish and immature making people suffer for the wait. There should be am unofficial list of offenders that do this so we know who to not play with. "Drop an occasional flag for the tubby to score. Enhance self-esteem. (Chuckle)" - Why mock defenders? What's the use in returning with a flag if your flag is gone. Its a team game - period. Waiting for a fair start. "Some think it a high-minded ideal, but it fails to serve one tactical exploit any commander or combatant relishes. Outnumbering enemies or opponents makes for a combat dream." I totally appreciate, encourage and try to get in matches with fair starts. Unfair matches tend to start unfair and only get worse. How many XP are you going to get when the other team mass bails early?

The Russian version just showed the team names and a countdown clock. No place to message. They they had a 2 person discussion panel afterwards in Russian. The English version was offline until the end of the game and when the game was over, game on with a broadcast of it. :( Firefox the issue? Popups?

Lost Temple - many were lagging - had full effects on - Firefox 30 and latest Flash
