    Let's Discuss Hornet!

    Yep, it can be useful: but most of the times IMO it 's just a pain in the, some bodypart, if you ask me.

    Nice flagcapping tips and another brilliant testbox! For the rest of it... :unsure:

    It does make a difference...I guess... :D

    Let's Discuss Hornet!

    Hornet has the skidding, but at M4 it 's a lot less of an issue in my experience than at M2. At M2 it 's like on ice in turns... I also kept the MU 's of the turning speed of Hornet M3 at complete zero and AFAIK this makes it even less. (did some testing on the test server) I drive both light hulls (Wasp M2/Isida M2) and the Hornet is outclassed by the Wasp in overall handling: but the Hornet has other merits: armour and especially stability. Ideally with Hornet you are totally indifferent in which direction you are moving! That skill combined with a fast rotating medium- or long-range turret does mean you barely have to do full circles/360 with your Hornet at all: and fully enjoy it 's benefits. It can still do 360 's with relative ease but the Wasp is really build for doing them. That 's why a Wasp can IMO be easily (and best) operated in Mosquito style. When I 'm playing Wasp/Isida that 's what I do. There is hardly any need to make directional changes like with the Hornet. You can most of the time keep on driving in just one direction with the Wasp. That could mean it 's even an "easier" hull than the Hornet... ;) In general I prefer Hornet with medium to long-range weapons and Wasp with short-range weapons: especially with Isida which self-healing compensates Wasp 's lower HP very nicely.

    Let's Discuss Hunter!

    If you own a Hunter M2 and you got at least the HP micro-upgraded, than it 's a much better idea to simply stick with it till the Hunter M3 for sure. Especially when you put some MU 's on the Hunter M2 's already decent speed.

    Yep, Hornet doesn 't outrun Wasps: and it mostly doesn 't need to outrun Wasps when equipped with Thunder or Smoky.

    Let's Discuss Hammer!

    I got a Hammer M3 on my alt.account because I already own a Thunder M4 on this one. Two Thunders is a bit of overkill and though Viking/Thunder is a solid combo and very effective: I enjoy playing with a fast Hornet/Thunder a lot more. Don 't regret getting Hammer, but maybe I should have just continued with the Smoky M2. Still I wanted a M3 and I really don 't like Isida or Freeze on a slow Viking. Let alone that scopy montrosity... :D Well, only going to use Viking/Hammer for two ranks and than it will be mostly gathering dust in the garage. At Marshal I will return to my beloved Smoky. What this gun may lack in power compared to the Hammer it easily compensates in playing fun! Hammer does a good job in for example a Polygon CP and is at least enjoyable in this kind of short to medium ranged melee gameplay (in it 's current OP state) In most other battle scenarios it is IMO boring (mostly because of the reload) and not even effective.

    How exactly tall are you?

    :) Doesn 't surprise me. In our country live on average the tallest people in the world.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    It does help getting a high score...but IMHO Hammer being OP is not good for the overall gameplay. Hammer is begging for another (real) nerf! ;)

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Hammer overpowered? Definitely. Way too. Also IMO mostly due to reload and effective range a pretty boring weapon in most Maps. Though melee fighting with Hammer and a sturdy hull as Viking can be very intense and enjoyable! Earning crystals on my alt. for Smoky M3... :)

    Let's Discuss Hornet!

    ...and fun ;) Next time try a fully upgraded Hornet M4 except the parameter for the turning speed: leave this at complete zero. For a true Waspy it will still feel like crap, I know...though maybe a bit less crap... :D

    Railgun is ook maar een gewoon wapen en wordt denk ik te veel opgehemeld. Het ligt er maar aan waar je de Railgun gebruikt of het een "stom" wapen is of juist "geweldig". In de beschermde omgeving van een XP/BP Format battle vind ik het een geweldig wapen, dat het beste uit een speler kan halen. In een gewone battle vind ik het alleen in CTF echt goed tot zijn recht komen. En dan ook alleen nog maar als het wordt gebruikt door een ervaren speler. Door de Starladder competitie en de YouTube filmpjes denken veel (beginnende) spelers dat de Railgun hét wapen is. Terwijl ze het veel beter zouden doen als ze zich zouden bekwamen in bijvoorbeeld spelen met een Smoky. De trage reload van de Rail is hoe dan ook een behoorlijke handicap. Dit in combinatie met meestal een lichte tank maakt het qua zelfverdediging een heel matige combo. En dekking zoeken is lang niet altijd mogelijk, zeker niet als de tegenstander zich dichtbij weet te vechten... Een stom wapen gaat wat ver, maar overschat? IMO zeker. Idem. Ik ga gewoon wachten op de volgende 50% discount. De MU sale is wel goed, 80% discount op speed-ups: bijna net zo goed als de 85% discount op speed-ups van de afgelopen Nieuwjaars Sale.

    AFAIK yes. They want a smooth transition and give players the time to get to know and feel comfy with the new Unity version. Will there always be two Tanki versions beside each other? I guess not. To put it simply: Unity as a multi-platform and being far easier adjustable is the future. Flash? Is the past. Will my computer be able to play Tanki Unity? Unity isn 't a very demanding platform at all, so the system requirements won 't be a problem for the vast majority of PC 's around.

    Well I didn 't buy these crystals for your information, as says: I earned them Did I ever buy crystals? Yes. More than the amount I have earned now? Yes. Proud of it? Neutral Why? To get an advantage (when buying the old Medium M2 kit) and as a side-effect it keeps Tanki going: which is good. What if Tanki gets no income? There is no free playing for anyone. To be exactly I earned 278.259-108.310=169.949 (including 24.000 ranking crystals) in three days of grinding on double battlefund Polygon CP 's. AKA no-lifing.

    Vulcan M3/M4: je wilt niet weten wat een gloeiende hekel :angry: ik aan dat ding heb. (of wel natuurlijk :( ) En dan schijnt het ook nog wat generfed te zijn... Ik heb vier dagen lang Polygon CP 's gespeeld met Hornet/Thunder en veel gewonnen: maar heeft de tegenpartij een Vulcan speler met medium/heavy hull, wat skills en die bereid is om naast DP 's en DD 's vooral de ene healthkit na de andere erin te gooien: dan wordt het al knap lastig. Vooral Vulcan 's met die Cherry paint zijn hardnekkig...en met die rode paint zie je in Polygon CP ook "bossen" met Viking M3/Isida M3 's de zgn. nieuwe Medic Kit. Wederom bijna standaard keiharde druggers en met de toegevoegde self-healing ook moelijk te slopen. Moraal van dit verhaal: zie je deze combinatie van een Vulcan combo(s) en "Cherry" Medics bij je tegenstander in een Polygon CP dan moet je er een aardig team tegenover zetten om er nog wat van te bakken. (stukje frustratie: moest er even uit :D )

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Just had a great game with @hogree as matchwinner in it as well. Wearing that nice helper paint, though using an awful Vulcan... :P My humble Hornet did a decent job against top notch (heavy) hulls. Used DP on the Thunder all the time: but honestly did not use any healthkit. (a Hornet under such heavy fire=a dead Hornet anyway -_- ) Double battlefunds were great! Now four days of catching huge Goldboxes: if any hull was designed to be almost unable to catch Goldboxes it is the Hornet :P ...but I wish all Gold hunters, except the Gold mults, good luck catching them! My best reward during these superb Double battlefunds:
