    Yep, did some reading and I was wrong. Never expected these suits to be so extremely expensive. It is a matter also of no mass production and it 's not company made, still wow 12 million! :o http://www.nature.com/news/iron-man-like-exosuit-could-expand-ocean-exploration-1.14822 Goes only 300 metres down and will cost 1.3 million. Not cheap either! So maybe I can still fix/falsefy a "win"...10.000 metres : 300 metres = 33.3 33.3 X 1.3 = 43.3 million... ;)

    To make the story complete, I did kill him with a mine before this happened. Even though he should indeed have choosen other targets instead, because in the end he suffered most from it, wasting battle time.

    I think it 's alot harder to make a deep underwater suit because you are dealing with immense pressures. Every ten metres the pressure increases with 1 bar. So at the deepest places in the ocean (around 10km) you can have pressures of a whopping 1000 bar. This will crush nearly anything. You need a bathyscaphe to go that deep. The pressure needed inside a space suit is only tiny and I think the protection against the coldness of space is, relatively ofcourse, more important. So I think a spacesuit is a lot easier to manifacture.

    Most players indeed (accidentally) find it out themselves or by seeing others do it. A crucial skill, but you can also overdo it. Smoky has a perfectly fine vertical auto-aim and by tipping too much you can make a Smoky actually miss. Being a Gizmo it doesn 't feel good if that happens too often... :D Within the limits you just have to let the auto-aim do it 's work. Tipping the right way will become a second nature, all you have to do is keep playing. :)

    Post here your issues with lags and server instability

    When I think of it again, it 's probably not. In your words "After a while it goes away but it's annoying either way" A ghosting issue will not dissapear like that I think, it will remain all the time. Software issues, maybe you have a slightly damaged C key? No clue.

    Ok,... I'm thinking you mean where you try and hit them with shots when they're vunrable to flips? No, it 's not what I meant but it 's not strange you got that idea. Rocking/tipping has an effect on your own Tank, To be more precise: how you can effect the direction of your shot. You already know the horizontal one: turning your turret and/or turning your hull Rocking/tipping is a way to effect the vertical direction of a shot. Maybe you do already know it and even do it, but that 's what it is. When you are driving forward and you make a sudden stop, your hull will actually bend forward. If at that exact time you make a shot you will see that your shot will be lower than normal. Same goes for driving backwards. Make a stop, your hull will bend backwards and if simulteanously you shoot, you will see your shot going higher up. This way you can quite dramatically increase the vertical angle of your shots, without the use of a slope or putting yourself over the edge of wall with the risk of falling over. With this technique you can hit enemies above and below you which otherwise would be unreachable for your shots. You like Esplanade, which is a nice Map to practice. Hopefully you know how to make a battle, if not: http://en.tankiwiki.com/Creating_a_battle Make one in Esplanade and put players on two and rank limits at your own rank (the grey bar directly underneath the picture of the Map) so you won 't be disturbed if lucky. Drive towards a wall and keep some distance, stand still and make a shot. The impact will be completely horizontal to your turret. Next drive forward (just a little bit) and stop and immediately shoot. If done at the right time your shot will be lower now. To make the shot go higher do the opposite. Practice till you know how to do it. You can also make shots even go higher or lower if you add an extra movement. Ok, let 's make the shot go higher. First you drive backwards, you stop, but at the right moment when your hull is bending backwards you drive forward a little bit and shoot at the same time. If done correctly, this one is pretty hard, you will have made a higher impact on the wall. With practice you can do these tricks practically on the spot, in the beginning you will use larger movements, but you can fine-tune it into very small movements. That 's about it, but this trick is crucial for many turrets. Also for example Rail which is even tougher to learn tipping, because you have to take that short time when charging up and actual firing into notice. Smoky is easier, so your lucky! ;) Good luck!

    Ideas for Missions!

    Your examples have no relation at all with the Daily Mission Chains reward. It 's just nagging. Some people are never satisfied it seems. Tanki did a fair job with these Daily Mission Chains. On top of the normal Daily Missions rewards, you now get a bonus (and a decent one) for free. And if you do just one single Mission every day after 4 weeks, you 'll be getting the maximum bonus each and every single week. Looking at your profile I guess that it has a lot to do with a certain Mammoth M3. Well, my fellow Tanker, you 've got two real options: - you buy it - or you can just keep playing with that Mammoth M2 you own and earn it Good luck on the battlefield! :)

    :D speedy Gonzales: ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! (Hurry Up!) Yes, at times your only option is to (temporarily) run and try to escape with a light hull. Recently I had a fight where a Vulcan/Isida with Savanna kept chasing me. Killing it was nearly impossible, so I just kept running, meanwhile firing some (mostly futile) shots at him. Than he called me a huge coward...really?...like what I 'm supposed to do, stay still? :D

    What's your favorite thing about space?

    Almost every Galaxy seems to have a giant Black Hole in the middle and most Galaxies are not consumed by it. It 's more like an eddy in the water, if you don 't get to close to it your ok. Get too close and it swallows literally everything. Your own theory with a Multiverse involves the forming of a highly destructive wormhole with two massive Black holes on each Universe that has the possibility to destroy dimensions and finally the Universes themselves. Interesting, but I don 't really get the concept: how would this Black Wormhole attract more mass than let 's say a seperate massive Black Hole, couldn 't it maybe collapse on itself because the Black Holes start consuming each other? Talking Tanki, also in Tanki a massive Black Hole can be created: Try to ignore the "music"... :P...the black hole itself is created at 01:35. ;)

    No, I don 't disagree entirely and I also appreciate the way you reply! :) We are quite the opposite in hull evolution. :D You went overall from light to medium and heavy (Viking and Titan) and I went from Titan, Viking towards mostly Hunter, BP only in Format and Hornet, which at this moment is the hull I like the most. Mind you, not always the most effective, but for me definitely the most enjoyable. Like your preference with Wasp in comparison to Hornet, the same thing counts for me, I dedicated much more time in Hornet than Wasp, so it 's kind of logic that you are going to like it more. Wasp was once mostly inferior to Hornet (I truly believe that) but after the balances in which TO improved Wasp to make it more popular it has become a very worthy rival: outclassing it with some turrets. The turrets you mention are exactly the turrets I would advice to use with Wasp instead of Hornet. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=177196&page=157&do=findComment&comment=5396893 Wasp: all three close-rangers, Rail (BP) and Hammer. Smoky is decent Hornet: Smoky, Thunder, Hammer, Shaft, Ricochet, Twins. Freeze is decent (Hammer being a sort of close-ranger might be a bit better with Wasp and Vulcan is crap on both) XP/BP battles are a good example how good Wasp has become. It 's a lot more stable than it used to be, acceleration got improved tremendously and yes: it 's fast in both turning and straight lines. This often gives you the advantage. BP is imo better now than XP. Though my favourite turret happens to be Smoky and I find it a nice challenge to compete against slower but a lot better armoured medium and heavy hulls. Smoky being mostly a medium/semi-long ranged turret pairs beautifully with Hornet in my experience. Though things change, like I turned from Thunder to Smoky when Smoky became M2. :wub: So there might still be hope for the Hornet haters in this topic! ;) edit: "worst hull"...

    quote: "I accept the large majority of science, and support it, with minor exceptions (including darwinian evolution)." Throwing away the theory of evolution which is supported by the huge majority of scientists for creationism isn 't a minor exception. It 's a huge one and it has a huge impact on what you think. Just looking at all the evidence it 's hard to deny evolution ( I 'm not going to waste more of my time by proving it, because science already did ) If you want to you can deny evolution though, enough believers who even think that the world is only 6000 years old. Intelligent design is the only one of all these "God created it" theory 's that makes some sense to me. What it does is simply embrace popular science and say that God was the driving force behind it all. Well, there 's no way to prove if that 's right or wrong, but still imo you don 't need one. Your "blood cloth" theory is just a nice example that you don 't need a designer, same like people saying how can there be something amazingly like an eye starting from scratch? Well, if you did believe in Darwin 's evolution theory it wouldn 't be that hard to imagine. The evolution of life had a whopping 3.5 billion years to get to it 's current state. Step by step. Bacteria can evolve immunity in a very short timespan, unfortunately for our medicines and vaccins which we have to alter continuously. Multiple cell organism take a lot more time to evolve but looking at something common as dogs it can still be pretty fast. From the original wolf we now already have a tiny Chihuahua and the huge Great Dane. Something like an eye takes more time, a lot more time. read it yourself if interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye Your blood cloth theory: http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/evol/DI/clot/Clotting.html But why even argue. You will come with your evidence and I will find mine. Backed up by science in my case :P but that makes no difference. You believe that every step has to be created at the exact same time. Evolution believes that life took it step by step. In the end you can never match a world view where humans are made from dirt and a man 's rib, with a world view that goes from simple single cell organism through incountable steps to the amazing organisms we now see today. And I haven 't even started about DNA...and I 'm not going to. Reply if you want, but this is my last reply to you in this kind of matter We will never agree on these issues, let 's agree on that. I let Neil have the final word: "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." So from now on I 'll be happy to talk Tanki with you, ok? ;)

    Maybe he likes to play with Hornet, but finds it too weak against other heavier hulls? Thus calling it the worst hull in the game? Wasp 8/10 and Hornet 3/10: doesn 't make any sense to me. I play both and they are pretty matched and it 's up to the turret imo which one to choose. Both hulls can be called worst hulls in the game. DA hardly has any effect because you are only doubling a petty amount of armour, repair kits are pretty worthless for the same reason... So it makes a lot of sense to choose for medium and heavy hulls. Just some stubborn fools refuse to and stick with their Hornet... So you can throw me to the wolves Tomorrow I will come back Leader of the whole pack Beat me black and blue Every wound will shape me Every scar will build my throne Greetings from my alt. @Smok-Ti-Thun :D

    We don 't know much about the deep oceans, though if I hear famous astronomers like Neil deGrasse Tyson (the man behind this famous meme) we don 't know that much of space either. Space is made of: Dark Energy about 68% Dark Matter about 27% Normal matter that we all know...5% The scientist don 't have a clue what Dark Matter and Dark Energy actually is...so we don 't know that much I think.
