Try using the overdrive when tanks are aligned next to each other, and not behind each other, that way you can still spread the damage of the shots onto as many enemies as you can while it lasts. Also avoid activating it when there's only one tank near you, save it for tougher situations.

I've been in some matches with the Boris4311 guy, and he always finished them with scores above 400 as well as being the main contributor to his team's victory. It's like at some point during your ranking career, you start memorizing the exact inputs required to win a battle every time.

I have a feeling these numerous 25-30% sales are going to make the birthday sale less than 50%, hope that's not happening though. Oh and are the double battle funds for the entire duration of the event? If so then that's really generous of them.

I'm sure many other players also want this mission to be changed, because simply it's just insane, and probably the worst mission in the game.

I was using it in a juggernaut battle today, and felt like the battle was going to end before the overdrive was done charging. I was wondering why it took so long until I saw this... 1 more minute, oh boy.

Completely true.

Unless you're using a heavy hull and lagging simultaneously. If that was in MM it'd just be another map I'd exit from immediately upon spawning.

It's great that mammoth's OD can finally be stopped now, however when I read "neutralized" I somehow thought that it would keep its invulnerability but no longer be able to deal damage to other tanks. You're telling me it can tank millions of damage points but can't take a 9999dmg. hit from a bomb, laughing out load.

If I got a green opening anything would be good except for the 50 batteries, because I already got +1000 of those on a rusty drone.

It's not like +50% discounts have never been seen before, they used to throw 70% discounts on a couple of turrets and hulls back in like 2014 or something. Right now we have a flash game nearing a full decade of being online. I can easily imagine huge discounts, but certainly not higher than 60%, and most probably around 55%. Unless of course they have some other big projects planned, which would justify keeping the sales more tame.

Well since this is a 10th year anniversary, I believe something like a 55-60% discount on garage items isn't a far-fetched idea. Also, considering the release of the new hull, which is supposedly planned for summer, my guess is that it will be released on the exact same day as tanki's birthday, but I'm just speculating.

In addition to that, you can stop people from mining the whole map in a parkour battle. Just approach them even with an m0 Mammoth, and let the fun begin.

Hornet's overdrive is definitely not horrible. 30 seconds of having the ability to see where the enemies are, their hit points, and being able to deal full damage to anyone in the battle. Plus it also recharges fairly quickly.

Each overdrive is best in doing its own thing. But I honestly found Wasp's OD to be a little weak compared to the others, the timer may need to be reduced further to like 1 second to make it more effective.

To be honest, I don't know much about what happened during that time with paypal, so I can't give you a very convincing reply. But overall your points do make sense. I'd like to end my contribution here by stating that, although his article isn't fully accurate or free of any flaws, that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I personally do not believe it deserved all the bashing you've given it, but each to his own I guess. Hope you guys can get along and just put this incident behind you, let's instead try to help each other improve constantly, so we'd get more interesting results the next time.

I'd really like it if they could reduce the price of the battle pass, it's a bit too expensive imo.

Yes I do understand what you mean, the update wasn't caused by tanki, but just because they had nothing to do with it doesn't mean they shouldn't inform players about it. Ideally, in my opinion, a game should inform its players about any changes or updates regardless of their relative importance or what caused them, constant interaction between developers and the player base is crucial for a game's success. I vaguely remember them saying something like that a while ago, but yea it may have been about the crystals distribution and not score distribution like you've stated above. Anyway, if I do happen to find the V-Log mentioning it I will send it to you.

You did mention the second update was in a V-Log, and all I did was include that in my post as constructive criticism, mainly because that update was made available to the public. But as I've said, the first and third points were obscure for me until I opened the forum, and that's where articles like this get the job done. About the paypal issue, even though purchasing through different currencies is against the rules, there was nothing preventing tanki from simply announcing to anyone trying to continue with their previous actions that they cannot proceed to carry them out anymore. It may not have been a major part of the game itself, but it was one of the main ways players used to purchase goods with, and thus provide income for the game. I still believe it was important enough to at least have been disclosed publicly to players.

I'm getting the error occurred message more often now after the overdrives release. I was expecting the game to get slightly laggier anyway due to all the visuals, so it's kind of understandable.

I've only known about that kit unlock update from people in the forum, I was completely unaware of it before. Same thing with the score distribution in TDM, I've forgotten which V-Log talked about that, and they probably didn't elaborate much on it anyway. Third point is new to me. Great job on the article, I do believe the first and third points fit the definition of covert, however, the second update was mentioned in a V-Log so it wasn't really as stealthy as the other updates.

Wow, this just came out of the blue.. and I'm actually speechless! Thanks a lot for not delaying them for several more weeks. I just hope right now that they get released without any major issue, and that all goes well in the end.

Thanks a lot for showing this kind of consideration, a very nice move indeed.

In my opinion it's better now than before in preventing all the hacking and exploits, and it's also considerably easier for non-buyers to earn crystals by completing missions and opening containers. BUT I also find it to be significantly less enjoyable than before, to the point where playing it has often become more stressful than fun. Finding motivation is becoming more difficult for me in general. Still, I'm always hoping for the game to keep improving regardless of any mistakes made in the past.

Unbelievable, without using protection this thing does massive damage to you, I just didn't realize that before cause I never took my module off until today accidentally.

Okay I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
