At the moment I guess Hornet M4/Smoky M4 (and at least a Hunter M4 in the garage) Paints are changing soon, so no clue about the paint.

I do remember him, he had also an account like FatalDeath or something. A very skilled player, he was a master with Hornet/Thunder.

My definition would be leaving the game And the forum for a long period. No matter if you were a staff member or not. What is considered to be a "long" period is more food for debate...

It 's a good start, yep ;)

Yeah, yeah

I actually think a mice would be great in Shaft 's scope mode. I suppose it would mean a more natural/fluent crosshair movement, than combining two pairs of key-combinations like it is now. For the other turrets and hulls I don 't directly see a huge benefit. Still: curious and I will definitely give it a try when it 's out.

Same, but I understood he was trying to modernize in a rather conservative (mildly spoken) country. For that I applaud him: R.I.P.

Toppik is sthil goein strung! Nize!

Love both too. In DM and CP however I almost always choose the Thunder. It 's better in self-defense because of the faster reload and IMO nothing beats the versatility of the Splash damage. Probably around 2/3 or 3/4 of my shots fired with Thunder are aimed at the opponent(s) hull(s) itself. The other 1/3 or 1/4 of the shots are Splash-damaging on obstacles, walls, the ground, just dead tanks etc. (Ofcourse, I didn 't count the missed ones ;) ) Rail is great, but does IMO a better job with the "security" of a supporting team around you. So In TDM and DM 's CTF 's I pick both Rail or Thunder, not a real preference here. edit: mistakingly wrote DM instead of CTF

Nope: the Medium M2 kit IMO was the best deal. Mostly because it contained three great paints: - Prodigi was the real deal here. No need to explain - Sandstone was a nice bonus, because I still use it nowadays in XP/BP on my M2 Hornet which needs a 20% Railpaint in those battles - Emerald is a great Thunder paint but besides a decent Twins protection it 's like the Spark paint in the light M3 kit (read "Spark" below) The Thunder M2 was ok, but you would get it just one Rank earlier. No, the other great benefit of the medium M2 kit was that the Viking M2 already got avaible at First LT. That was a lot better than the Hornet M3 of the light M3 kit that only needed one more regular Rank (MJ General) to become available. The Rail M3 that already became available at Brigadier instead of General was the real deal of the Light M3 kit. (like the Viking M2 in the Medium M2 kit) The paints of the Light M3 kit were not that impressive in my view: Spark is a great Rico paint, but that 's all it has to offer. Needle is ok, but I would even prefer a cheaper Smoky paint like Savanna: I would rather have Rail than Shaft protection. That Rail M3 though...

Agreed. It 's the turret that "decides" which light hull is the better choice. And even this is a personal choice...not a matter of facts.

Hammer M2. Strong and OP? At this moment: yes! Still I don 't really regret buying the Hammer. It was a good experience and another confirmation which turrets are really my favourites: Thunder, Smoky and Railgun. (That 's why I 'm more anxious about the Vulcan: the new machinegun. It has more relationship with these three mid- to long-range turrets. Very curious if the gyroscopic aim makes it pro or noob... So my new list of favourite turrets in true alphabetical order: Rail, Smoky, Thunder, (Unity ;)) and maybe Vulcan.) Back to Hammer: I found it a bit boring IMO to play with. It 's a similar thing that I experienced with the Rico. Is it the clip that has to reload or the less "precize" aiming: don 't know. Short-range turret players I suppose will enjoy the Hammer: it 's even good at a halfway short- to medium distance. I played Hammer mostly with the Hornet, which makes it more fun to play with. And in my experience more effective. Hunter is a good choice too I think. Other hulls are just too slow for the Hammer IMO. ...bye Hammer: back to good 'ol Thunder! :)

...it was also my 1st thing I hated after I got to know other possible combo 's... ;)

True. :)

Hunter M0/Smoky M0 and Green was the 1st thing I loved in Tanki

Really? Why? :o Emerald is Green and Zeus is Blue, whenever I 'm on the Forum: U are there too

Too bad it 's getting less popular. TO let 's you start with it, but most Tankers go to play CTF as soon as possible. CTF can be really great and I definitely had some of my best TO moments in them. If two decent teams are fighting with each other and both teams are more or less of equal strength: than the experience is hard to beat with another gamemode. Still DM gets too much overlooked IMO. There is no better "school" as a Death Match to teach you to stand on your own feet in every other gamemode that TO has to offer. I 'll never forget the first time in entered a Polygon DM: I though you must be completely mad to enter a battle in such a killers arena! Impossible to stay alive there for more than a few seconds. Never, never again I would go to that Map of pure Insanity again... Well, either I learnt to deal with it or I 'm also completely mad: it 's now still one of my favourite Maps to play a DM. The biggest problem the gamemode DM has I suppose, is that it is a "lonely" gamemode. Most of the time your all by yourself and not everyone likes that so much. Though you can make a team with another player. (or even players) Which can be very nice and very profitable for both. A good teammate in a DM will help you when you are under attack and vice versa. A lot of players would benefit immensly if they would join a DM once in a while. It 's a hard gamemode that doesn 't allow you to hide your own shortcomings in gameplay. You can 't afford to be lazy in a DM and you have to be on full alert all the time. (if you feel that your attention is slipping: take a break) Situational awareness which can only be achieved by good cameracontrol is essential. Driving fluently forwards and backwards no matter how your hull is positioned, aiming, shooting and hitting opponents all of it at the same time should be your goal if you really want to compete in a DM. Skills learned in DM can be easily translated into other gamemodes. It doesn 't work quite as good the other way around IMO. DM, together with a gamemode like XP/BP is the fastest, but also the hardest way to get a skilled Tanker: well, the best things don 't come easy.

Alt.account running wild :) ( Thunder a long distance weapon? You bet! )

@@a7x_Pedro48: though I don 't think it 's the most sympathic way to tackle a rivalling Gold Hunter, you do have a point with bringing this into the open. This 1000-volt is in essence nothing more than a former blue 10-crystalgrabber. Only difference is that he catches a hundred of them at once. Other word that describes him exactly is complete noob. <_< It 's very simple, this guy obviously doesn 't contribute anything to the team that gets the "honour" to have the Gold Hunter of the Month in their midst. Well, I may be punished for it but I would do anything to block this guy from getting Gold, if he was in the same team I was in. You don 't help us and are obviously multing? Ok, no Gold for you. Simple. Tanki Online is a team game and should not reward a "player" (mult) like 1000-volt by giving him this title. A title that in this case becomes utterly meaningless in my view. If you can only win this title by multing, than what 's the point? If TO wants to continue this title and restore it to something meaningfull, than the Gold Hunters should also have a decent average gameplay! In other words a good Gold Hunter also has to end for example somewhere in the top half of the final score of a battle. If not, than the Golds catched during that battle will not be counted with the total number of Golds catched that month. If you become a Gold Hunter if something like this gets implemented than you can be proud again to become a Gold Hunter. As it is now, some Gold Hunters have been proven to be cheaters (two of them got caught) and the others: are they all mults? TO plz. restore the title Gold Hunter to something worthy or otherwise just remove it.

Probably a Kim, Lee or Park... ;) (half of the Koreans have one of these three names!)
