Isida and Viking i think... bah i can't remember XD

Well, it looks like people here are really interested in the photo of the day. So i've made some research and found one: ... i hole it helps! ^_^

Why did the Wasp cross the road? To allow his Shaft bud to rank up! [insert bad-joke punchline drum solo here]

Ah... it's time for Vulcan to be given a more distinctive look! ^_^

I like parkour, but not like it enough for taking part in a contest :P

Err, i think you need to make it optional. The full duration of battles really is important. Players will just have to repeat the game in order to get the same reward...

Awesome idea! Though perhaps it should either be available from a certain level, so that new Recruits won't get confused and accidentally won't be aware of the button, and when the button is available, it should be highlighted, to make it nearly impossible to miss.

Amazing work- just the kind of posts that i like. Thumbs up! ^_^ It reminds me of one time when i used Firebird, but the images of its lame did not work, and the flame was made essentially of a chain of spinning placeholder rectangles. It seemed like it was due to a loading error, and it seems to be just like the visual glitches that you've described above. Once again, well done for the excellent research! :)

Oh, wow, i remember some of these.. but only SOME XD I joined in 2013 and it really brings me back to the old days :')

To be fair with you, i honestly don't care about buying crystals. We all remember that about 3 weeks ago, Tanki cut the Daily Missions' rewards in half in order to "make the game more challenging". So are they now trying to make it less challenging by giving these useless so-called "bonuses" to crystal purchases, which lead to people buying more and more equipment than what the typical player would? If buying crystals is your thing, i have no problem with that- enjoy it as long as it still is enjoyable. But it's nothing compared to actually earning crystals after hard work that you did on your own. Based on others' comments, you may argue that this is the worst event since autographed copies of twilight have been given out.

Cool discount, but i'll wait for a better one :P Trying to buy Twins M1 & M2 and Smoky M2, so i'll wait for at least a -50% discount ;)

Anyone who plays this game must have encountered at least a couple of times some tanker, posting a bunch of characters that form the shape of waves or something. And i agree with you- there are lots of great things about tanki, and it's somewhat sad to see people who've put a lot of effort in their account, risking it by spamming with some stupid ascii. I must admint that, in some cases, it's still pretty funny to watch.

It just seems to me that in 100.42% of the time, the following happens: Player X tries to do something (e.g. capture a flag). Player Y is more experienced, and stops Player X, or, the *cough cough* frightning possibility that Player Y has rightfully earned a kit and decided to use it. The player X says "Player Y drugger noob". At this point, the right thing to do is for EVERYONE in the map to say: "Player X u noob earn your dough and learn how to play." It's just sometimes annoying to have people in your map who flood the chat with their irrelevant feelings.

Nice guide :) I stil only have Wasp M0 and i barely ever use it. Still thinking of buying M2 and to start practice ^_^

I have another idea. Why not KEEPING the original rewards, while SLIGHTLY INCREASING the task's length (e.g. instead of 500 EXP for n crystals, boost it to 650. This way people will be satisfied, while earning a little bit of challenge to the game. Not to mention that the drop boxes' tasks are pretty annoying as it is. Tankers should be satisfied of their awards, and just cutting them in half is annoying!

rip fun

"Make 9001 new friends" Those facebook tankers out there won't even struggle to complete it by the end of the morning ;)

Cool!!!!!!!!! :D can't wait till i enter!

RIP Freeze ;( I mean it has its advantages now as well, but still...

I've also asked about this int he forum, and Sewegart said that it's "due to the new anti-cheating system, to stop fly hackers".

Hello tankers! This is a piece of a small and dumb question, which, if you're a nerdy tanki player, such as myself, might actually find interesting. So, as you probably know, gold boxes are randomly dropped based on the battle funds. And when it happens, all the players start piling up on top of another (great timing for stealing the flag or capture some points as well). But when everyone's into the gold box frenzy, would it REALLY be good for your tank to have a giant weight falling on top of it? I mean, gold is pretty dense, and for something as big as a gold box, which is the same size as a supply box, is going to be heavy. So first of all, before answering this question, there are several questions that should be asked: 1. How big is a gold box? 2. How fast is it falling? To start with, since supply boxes are cubic, their volume could be calculated easily, by raising one of its sides to the power of 3. The density of gold is known (19.3 kg/per liter, according to Wikipedia), and therefore, once calculating the box's volume, it would be easy to know its mass. Tanki doesn't really have objects which allow you to calculate distances easily, which is a barrier of some sort. However, we might be able to escape this obstacle using doors (literally). According to this webpage, the height of most standard doors is 2.04 meters (6.693 foot), whcih allows us to compare between the width of a typical supply box in the game with the height of an ordinary door, which isn't too hard to do, since there are doors and boxes all around the game. Another way to get a distance is to drive, multiply your speed by the time it takes you to move from point A to B, and you get the distance- which should be more accurate. So i took my Mammoth M0, which has the speed of 3.1176 meters per seconds, and measured the time it take me to go from one end to the other at top speed. Because i've been told in science classes that it's always important to repeat your experiment, i've measured it 10 times, and the average speed that i got is 0.583 seconds. So according to the equation of Time * Speed = Distance, it turns out that the width of a box is 0.6515608 meters. That's great! Now we can find the volume of the box and its mass! Ok, so lets see: 0.651560 to the power of 3 gives 0.27661 cubic meters, and if you multiply it by the density of gold, you get about 5.3385 tons- WAY more than what your tank weighs! Just for comparison, the weight of the fuel of some of the modern tanks is about a fifth of that. So things do seem a bit gloomy as a gold box starts blocking the sun. So if this block does land on your tank, even though tanks are generally heavy, it is still a significant weight difference. For the M1 Abrams, for instance, this difference means 8.9% more mass, and for lighter tanks, such as the T-72 (which you gotta admit- it does look a lot like Viking..) can mean a mass increase as high as12.6%. Now, i was unable to find any reference for a maximum weight of tanks of any sort, but the extra weight will sure slow your tank down, which is bad news. But weight! wait! In the tanki world we have tanks as well, and the garage specifies their mass! But if you take a closer look, things get even worse, since the only tank that is heavier thank 5.3385 tons is an upgraded Mammoth M3 (if the weight units are in kilograms, of course). But we're not done here yet. The extra weight by itself, if won't smash your tank, could still cause some damage when colliding with your tank. It's been a while since i learned physics, but i was able to find a converter that will do it for me. So it takes about 13 seconds for a box to drop. Now i've found another issue- i have no clue how fast a gold box is falling, so i assumed that it's 2 meters pers seconds. So the output read 10677 joules, which is about a fourth of the energy released by the combustion of 1 gram gasoline- not much, to be honest- it seems like this parachute does its work well. So perhaps, after all, next time you see a gold box, it wouldn't harm to take a chance and get it. So (ive always wanted to say this) MYTH: BUSTED. So yeah, i'm not an expert in physics, but i just had this thought during a battle today, and thought it's good enough for further testings. I won't be surprised if i made some mistakes in the calculations, but it sure was fun. So next time you guys hear the gold box alarm, good luck! :)

My pet chichen disapproves this article But i now feel like buying the next M of twins :( For a colonel with Twins M0, that's kinda embarrassing..

Is "Goldmode_ON" take? B)

So i guess it's the world that has been pulled over my eyes to blind me from the truth. Thanks for the info :)

Well, unfortunately, i was unable to find such file that lists these properties. I've also decompiled the library swf files to see if they save them there, but i wasn't lucky :/ I've tried contacting the team like 3 times about this topic, but i never received a reply to any of them, and haven't even received a verification to the first one. Though i did find something interesting- it seems like tanki saves users' data in XML files. For instance, here's one of a user named heriosman http://pastebin.com/QiUkQrTv Now, this no longer wors, seems like tanki has removed those :( You can still google search for "site:tankionline.com/s/users" to see the no-longer-working links. To be honet, it's kinda irritating :/ i don't expect the team to agree with everything, but the least they can do is to reply with a quick "no, thank you" or something. I think i've already contacted them 3 times about it -_- that's just sad. But if i ever find something such as this, i'll be happy to work on it.
