Why not? Happened before. (they won 't ban you for it ;) )

That 's one of the best ways to combat a Vulcan. Taking advantage of it 's spin-up and spin-down time. When undisturbed you can bring it down without even taking damage yourself. The problem is that Vulcan is just one of your opponents, and when you 're busy with killing a Vulcan the others won 't stop shooting at you. It 's not that Vulcan is The reason that I take a break on my main or maybe eventually a leave, but it 's the OP straw that broke the lightweight camel 's back.

Moussaka without aubergine/eggplant?

Again, a lot of what you write I can agree upon, but on M3/M4 level Vulcan is another kind of beast. Not being modest now: I really know a lot of tricks to fight my enemies and I also do know how to deal with a Vulcan, but only when I 'm not caught by it in the open. Circling can be effective, but you have to get close which is often not that easy. The impact force of Vulcan renders every plan a waste of time when it hits you: ofcourse for a light Hornet, but Hunter doesn 't stand a chance either. Still even from "safe" cover in most cases I have to kill a Mammoth or Titan with DA, a Firebird (Smoky) paint and mostly I have to kill it twice because of a repair kit. If the Vulcan was my only opponent, that would be bad enough, but the other opponents won 't wait till I have finished it. It 's not a movie where every opponent nicely waits in line, so the hero can finish them one after one... :D

No, Vulcan is really overpowered at least at M3/M4 and no offence but unless you have a higher account, you simply can 't know what I 'm talking about. You have to "experience" the Vulcan M3 massacre yourself. (rather not actually...) It 's also true that Vulcan M3 is getting more and more popular: just look at the buying posts in "Photo of the Day" and also there used to be days that a Vulcan M3 was a rare sight in Tanki 's battles, sad enough imo not anymore. If you can 't beat them, join them....no, tried Vulcan like every other weapon Tanki has to offer and I just don 't enjoy playing with it. Even when operated by a "noob" Vulcan is a gamechanger. That 's just not ok.

True about preference, still there is right and wrong in this world and on a minor, quite unimportant level: also in this game. Posted this on "Lets Discuss Game Balance": "Already disliked the many unbalanced battles nowadays, and with more and more Vulcans appearing on the battlefield it gets even worse. How do you recognize OP combo 's? When many players don 't even bother to attack it anymore, but rather try to steal-kill it 's victims. And OP combo 's attract Isidas, like honey attracts bees... Just can 't stand to loose battles because of Vulcan players who simply take the win because they have way to overpowered material. Most of the Vulcan players wouldn 't do half as "good" if they would have to fight with other equipment. Besides I also don 't want to be part of the "winning" team because a Vulcan joins it. In the end I don 't blame the players though, they can have OP equipment which they like. Fair enough. No, the blame is on Tanki which doesn 't seem to give a crap about proper game balance anymore. Yes, there are more OP weapons like Firebird for example, but at least they have their limits because of range of damage. Vulcan hardly doesn 't have limits (certainly not in angle..) and added to that there is it 's ridiculous impact force which makes fighting back very hard. So I decided to quit on this account till a proper game balance is done. I play this game to enjoy myself, not to be annoyed. That 's why I will continue on my alt. account and mostly focus on XP/BP. Love playing with Smoky the most: but not in unfair battles." # On my alt. account I also have a Smoky M3 so I will join an occasional battle with it to finish a Daily Mission but that 's about it. Maybe Tanki X will be another solution, we 'll see about that. Just wanted to let you fellow Smoky players know, and please...don 't cry for me...

True. Very true. Already disliked the many unbalanced battles nowadays, and with more and more Vulcans appearing on the battlefield it gets even worse. How do you recognize OP combo 's?

Woohoo!! Another one.... <_<

Good read! Hornet is my number one hull with Smoky. Definitely not always the best choice, but the speed and fun make up for it. Superb combo in larger Maps like Kungur. The speed is also the reason that I have a slight preference for Hunter/Smoky above Viking/Smoky. Though Viking goes nicely with Smoky: because the fast turret rotation makes up for the slower turning speed of Viking. Viking is also the better melee fighter: more stability and armour. Still the handling of Hunter imo is better: smooth, really smooth.

Probably, but it all depends on Unity and on how much time and effort they are going to put in WebGL development. If they succeed than TO can make Tanki X also browser based. True, but the answer about account transfer will be given at it 's earliest around the launch date of Tanki X I guess.

Hé, een mens! Eindelijk, joepie! :) :) :) Over je vraag: nou..... :unsure:

That 's the first time that TO gave a lot of information about what is now known as Tanki X. This post was dated 28 April 2014. Sadly enough most of the info that was given at that time is completely outdated. In this post they were talking about a complete account transfer, so you could play TO and TX with exactly the same account and garage: quote from that old post: Will there be a way to switch from the current Tanki to the new version? Or will players have to start from the beginning? The new Tanki and the current version will both exist at the same time. You will be able to play any of the 2 versions. You will also be able to copy your account from the old Tanki to the new one, but only once. This will copy your rank, crystals and garage. After that you will be able to play both the old Tanki and the new version. This was a bit premature to put it nicely because now a lot of Tankers, myself included don 't believe in this no more. Won 't go in detail, but account transfer as described above won 't happen. Same with economy: quote: Will there be changes in the game’s economy? No. Balance, prices and ranks will remain unchanged. If you followed the news a bit you might know that TX will have a different economy. They haven 't even decided yet (they say), also look at the answer given in the Q and A video at 3:54. Without going further in details I can assure that this post from TO from 2014 that you mentioned is outdated and that the more recent Q and A video has the correct information. The conclusion stays: TX will (for now/afaik for a long time) be a client based game.

Way too late imo. Skip it, better wait till M3 or get it M2 and only use it for XP/BP (no micro-upgrades needed)

Or simply don 't respond at all and instead kick their behinds in battle :) (the more they get wind up: the worse they play)

Already clicked two of those away. Pretty much Mission impossible for non Goldhunters. :mellow: Rather have three 5000+ New Year missions, where you have to wear the Holiday paint and make 150 kills or 1500 XP. Two done and hope to get another one!

Those Wasp M3 's are pesky. I was in other battles where (a) good BP player(s) were present. Won 't show you these... :D With players at more or less the same level a Wasp M3 imo outruns literally and figuratively a Hornet M3 in XP/BP. (the drawback of Wasp always was it 's flipability, now this is removed...) Saving my crystals for Hornet 's twitchy little brother now! :) On alt:

Your right ofcourse! 27% Titan +29% Mammoth=56% of the voters thinks Vulcan is at it 's best when combined with a heavy hull. 56% is less than 100% so that is indeed a minority. (both heavy hulls are btw used intensively for example flagcapping due to their speed, do not try to camp with them) If the majority of players thinks a Mammoth or Titan is the most suited to combine with a Vulcan, than it 's logical that most players will choose another lighter hull. (Wasp and Hornet together are chosen by 6% of the Vulcan players, 6% is more than zero% so we found our majority) And it doesn 't make any sense to use a heavy hull after all. A turret like Vulcan that takes away health after heating up wouldn 't benefit at all from the plenty of health a heavy hull has to offer... ...irony mode off

Roger, skulls, Massacre, Deathtrack???

True, just don 't put your hopes on it. I 'm pretty sure TX players will (have to) play it as a client game for a long time. For the tekkies: about Unity and WebGL This article goes about MMO 's but the differences between browser and client based games get well explained: http://www.alteredgamer.com/pc-gaming/28822-comparison-of-browser-based-and-client-based-downloadable-mmos/

Ik ga "Alleen op de Wereld" nog maar eens lezen. :( :( :( edit: ik heb het al uit, en nu?

I guess so... Which hull goes best with Vulcan? Wasp (7 votes [2.19%]) Hornet (12 votes [3.76%]) Hunter (23 votes [7.21%]) Dictator (41 votes [12.85%]) Viking (57 votes [17.87%]) Titan (86 votes [26.96%]) Mammoth (93 votes [29.15%])

No way of denying this... ;)

Oh, now suddenly when it 's convenient the kind of hull Vulcan is combined with does count, just like I said in my posts? Funny... :D

No, for now it will be only client based. Watch the Q and A video they made at 1:24 Taken from the video (at 1:24) Question: will Tanki X be a client game or a browser game? Answer: "Tanki X will be a client game so you need to install it before playing. As for the browser version, unfortunately many browsers currently have problems working with the Unity web-plugin, and this creates problems we can not overcome. But Unity itself might decide to fix this and that would make it possible for Tanki X to become available as a browser game as well, in time"
