M1? You're at M3 level! Are you talking about a secondary account?

Nah, anything with double armor pulverises my Hammer-Viking because of the clip reload. Meanwhile, long-rangers are sniping me and the regular close-rangers are tearing me apart with fire, ice, nanobots...what have you. So Hammer isn't OP, it's just great for certain situations. Also, the other close-rangers have a secondary ability like burn damage and freezing or heal or whatever. So Hammer's special ability could be considered its impact force.

Are you sure? From the V-Log I inferred that it would be a major update with a number or something, not something just quietly released into the game. Also, on the MUs page for each item it doesn't say "Upgrade all parameters fully and get the next modification free" or anything like it, just the old schpeal about getting a discount.

HAHA!!!! FINALLY got a 9000 crys gold box! Throughout the celebrations, no boxes, contested boxes, oh-so-heartbreakingly-close boxes...and then....4v4 Highland CTF, literally no one but me at the drop point....oh.....YEAH! Sorry if I'm a little too jubilant, but I haven't gotten a Goldbox in, well...forever, almost. Then, an unbelievably smooth delivery right from the sky! Yay! Thanks very much devs, now I can get my preferred combo! (M1 Smoky, M1 Hornet, Pixel)

That pass is so annoying, I'm seriously considering not playing until it's gone. Get rid of that and give us a 50% sale XD

Well, what do you think of it?

Casualties of War Part 1 “No, wait! I can save her! I promise!” Ivan turns away, expression hardened into a mask of hate. Despite my pleas, his footsteps fade unabating into the distance. Too late my desperate voice gropes through the heavy silence; too late I feel the pain throbbing in my neck, the darkness enveloping my mind… I see a body lying facedown on a dirt floor. Suddenly, it turns over and grimaces...Sonya. Tears streaking her dust-covered face, she hisses, "You could have saved me. And Ivan." Her gaze focuses on another body lying near the door. I stare at her in horror. "NO! I did everything I could..."... My nightmare fades into nothingness as I find myself on a cot in what looks like a hospital. I’ve got to find Ivan before he does something stupid, I tell myself, or that dream will come to life. I immediately try to rise from the bed, but all I accomplish is futilely jerking my body, leather straps around my arms and legs impeding my efforts. Hearing my struggle, a wan-faced man in a white lab coat strides over to me. The sadistic glimmer in his expression makes me want to vomit. Despite my misgivings, I blurt out “I shouldn’t be here! Sonya has been captured by Stanislav's rebels and---” He cuts me off in a miserable attempt at a soothing voice, “You were suffering from intense hallucinations in Pachenko Square, and we were forced to, ah...tranquilize you. Now that you are in a proper treatment facility, we have prescribed Morinthol for your condition. I’ll be back in a moment with today’s dose.” Hallucinations? No, I had a nightmare, but I couldn't just imagine my best friend abandoning me, thinking I had betrayed his girl to the enemy. I couldn't imagine my government infiltrated by insurgents. That was real. I've been set up. If I'm right, Ivan, too, is in real danger. As the doctor leaves my view, I feel for anything, anything I can use as a weapon. Miraculously, I find the reassuring steel of my holdout knife still strapped to my belt underneath the sheets. Contorting my arm to where I can just grasp the handle, I cut through the bond around my right arm. Too soon, the doctor’s footsteps echo through the door on the left. I desperately slice through the rest of my leather prison as the doctor appears in the doorway. His sneer undergoes a rapid transformation into sheer terror. Rising from the bed, I grab his throat and prepare to kill him. The doctor gets a sentence out-"I didn't do anything! Why kill me?" His pleading in vain, I mutter "casualties of war," driving the blade home. I turn to the window and the setting sun. Staring into the glowing orb, I wonder: how can I save Sonya? No matter how difficult, for Ivan, I must save her. Stalking out the door, I know that no one can stop me. I have a promise to keep. By Lil’ Lee aka. LegoLover3

I think we need mutual respect. Right now it's just one low-ranker trolling on a bazillion Gismo's who feel they're being misrepresented (which they obviously are). My personal opinion: Generalissimos are fine. They steal kills? Well, that's what DMs are all about. They drug? A couple of Starladder seasons ago I got 400 drugs from NooBest winning all their battles, and then with the intro of smart supplies everybody's supplies count got doubled. So from First Sergeant to Warrant Officer 1 I was basically toasting everyone with drugs, drugs, drugs. The problem (if it is indeed that) obviously isn't endemic to Generalissimos/High-Rankers. Besides, the game devs just gave their tacit approval of drugging with that mega infinite supplies pass BOOM! (though admittedly for only one day) And about that "noob" thing...it's kind of hard not to call someone noob if you're driving up a ramp, and this "team member" comes up to you and flips you, or pushes you over, or what-have-you. Unless it's accidental and they apologize, definitely noob-worthy. So basically, all the things High-rankers do that are annoying are either perfectly acceptable given the context of a battle or are committed by tankers of all ranks. *Ahem.* The jury has come to a unanimous decision. Generalissimos are awesome, and to celebrate this historic decision, let's invite Hog and eat CHICKEN!

Do Spark. Your writing is so...awesome. They should name a paint after you....after you write a story about its origins haha

I think Semyon meant the projectile speed. As in how fast the plasma balls fire, not the rate at which they are fired.

I'd like to think better of the devs, but unfortunately I know what you mean. I wish they hadn't buffed Rail and Shaft; now all DMs will be "close range bloodbaths" interspersed with Rails and Shafts stealing kills. And cutting all other weapons' min damage in half at range? Wow, devs. I know you like Rail, but this is a bit overboard....:ph34r:

Okay, I did make a new account. Awesome. Haha, now I can try twins M3! Sigh, bye-bye smoky.

Keeps saying my password is incorrect. Works fine on regular servers. Kind of disappointed because I was looking forward to open testing. Tried getting a link through email but it said my email wasn't registered. Still have a full account on the regular servers. Made a new account for the test server, works.

Fourteen. My age exactly, and my opinions almost so. MadDog is right on, but unfortunately, as someone else said (too lazy to look), the offenders won't be reading this.

I don't like the new style; the old style (Flash as of now, not 2012) definitely looks...just cooler. This seems to remind me too much of World of Tanks. And that's definitely not a good thing. I think the developers should transfer the old style of graphics for both the maps and the tanks themselves to Unity. Then, they can have open testing on the test server of things like uneven ground, weather/precipitation, different graphics, etc. I think changing it so drastically is going to lose a lot of tankers, just like the last major graphics update. That one definitely improved things, but this is a step backwards to me. Tanki is aiming at a different market than WoT, so the difference should be visible. This looks almost realistic, but it's missing that complete realism, just like World of Tanks. The Uncanny Valley (look it up) effect is what made me hate on that game, and it would be a shame to have Tanki move in that direction as well. Also, I think that one of the main drawing factors of Tanki as of now is the major coolness effect of the M3 weapons; this keeps lower-ranked tankers climbing that rank ladder to get the cool equipment. This Unity version suffers from the same malady that afflicted the older (oldest) graphics: there's little visual difference between M0 and M3 equipment (not to mention that, in my opinion, even the M3 stuff doesn't hold a candle to the M0s of the Flash edition.). One last thing: most of the aesthetic appeal of the M3s and M0s, to some extent, is their sleekness and chrome. In my opinion, the Unity version ditches this for a too-chunky effect that looks almost cartoonish. I look forward to better physics, smoother gameplay, and a mobile edition, but with regards to the graphics, don't fix what ain't broken. Just my two cents.

Love it!

Thanks, Remaine. You made a great guide. Now, next to Smoky Hammer, Freeze will be my primary. I bought it on impulse to try to win a Farm (I think that was it) CTF, and it kind of failed. I thought it was a waste of 600 Crystals (M0). However, I just tried it again today and really liked it, and your article decided it for me. ~~Legolover3~~

Thunder can shoot tanks unseen with splash. Still, I think ricochet is way OP and plan to get it to M3.

I find that Chrome lags a lot, surfing the net, gaming, watching vids etc.

At least you can log in once a day to use your existing crystals in that day's sale... Better than nothing!

Was that sportscar tank in the testing?

Quick, quick! Make another one!

(As long as I realize they're there before they're within shooting distance, or they don't notice me, which I find is often, or if I have the faster hull. For example, my rico/viking can totally destroy a twins/titan.

@haloscorpion: The factors are: If you want to be able to hit your enemies from afar, use rico. It also has the bounce feature, which I found useful on my first day of use. Twins is alright because of its infinite ammo, but I find it hard to use against longer-range weapons. With my rico I can usually destroy the twins first.
