Uh, no. Let's say I'm reporting BillyBobJoe. I would type in "/vote_BillyBobJoe" (without the quotes). Just replace the "offender_nickname" with the nickname of the player you're reporting.

I don't think it has any viruses (I did a check with Google Safe Browsing Diagnostic at https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=quickmeme.com/), but I'd exercise a little caution.

Dictator.

The developers are actually working on a limit as to how many supplies you can work at once; I'm not sure what's taking them so long, but I think it will happen at some point.

NEVER open .exe files from people you don't absolutely trust. It's the easiest way to get your computer compromised, and I see it has happened here.

In DMs, your objective is to kill everybody. If nobody's trying to kill each other, then something must be up.

Should I get M1 Isida, or save up for something else?

Is Lead paint a good buy? I'm not looking to go bankrupt by buying Dirty (I'm a long way from that in terms of crystals anyway), and I just need a little extra Shaft protection. It's only 2,000 crystals, so I wouldn't lose much by not buying it on a sale. EDIT: I'm going to get it, since I'm not going to need any new turrets/hulls anytime soon, and my income should make up for it.

Sorry, but no. Germany gets 50%, Argentina gets 30%, and the Netherlands gets 20%. Only the top three get refunds; sorry, you're out of luck.

Can't wait for the refund. I've bought M1 Firebird and M1 Shaft during the WC period, so I should be getting a nice sum of 14,500 crystals. Might spend 2000 off the bat for Lead paint.

w00t germany won 50% refund please. Also, do we get to keep the fan paints after our refund is given?

Crit damage for M3 (possibly M2 as well) has been buffed, so now you can take down most hulls pretty easily.I'm pretty sure the crit chance/ramp up hasn't been changed by the update; maybe you're just getting luckier? I've tried M3 Smoky in the test server twice (during CP testing and during update 270 testing), and besides the extra crit damage, it feels the same. Needle paint makes Smoky utterly useless except for knockback though. The knockback on M3 Smoky is still really great; fire one in the corner of a charging railgun, and they'll miss.

M3 Railgun should obviously be neon pink Yellow is quite ugly, but green would be more so. How about red? Sure, M3 Shaft also has red shots, but I don't really care.

Actually, I technically didn't. The world cup final is on Sunday (Argentina vs. Germany), and I have the Germany paint. At worst, I get a 30% refund, and at best, I get a 50% refund. So I get some of my money back either way. :ph34r:

I got my crystals from Seruphov CTFs (tons of crystals falling into the center) with my trusty M1 Smoky/Hornet combo, and lo and behold: :tank:

Well, for me, Mammoth/Titan is just as easy to hit. At least your speed isn't at a snail's pace with Dictator.

Urgh getting really close to M1 Shaft I think I'm at 17020 or something. The issue is that I need to get it soon so I can get the 50% (or 30%) refund from the Tanki Football Frenzy event, and so far I've had pretty bad luck in finding a good battle. I either get utterly curbstomped or have to stay in a match for forever and ever until I get crystals. Any suggestions?

I don't really think so. At long range, Shaft's worst enemy is another Shaft. At medium range, it's Ricochet. At close range, well, it's Freeze. Railgun is still plenty annoying, but I can easily handle a single one. It only becomes a problem when you have a lot of other things to deal it, and face it, if you're that distracted, you're a sitting duck for pretty much everything.

Something interesting I've noticed with Shaft. If you look at Shaft from the very top (change your camera angle), it resembles an arrow, but it's missing the arrowhead. The major parts that would be left? The fletching and shaft.

M0 Smoky is probably the worst turret in the game, so I wouldn't recommend using it until you get it M1 or higher.

I was on a Rio CTF to 25 flags a few minutes ago. We were at 16 flags when a player named Alexxx-55 joined the game with M1 Freeze/M1 Hornet/Storm (possibly from the M1 Light Tank kit), and oh boy, was he drugging. My team was on the winning side, but once he showed up, the tide was turned upside down. After a few flags, his teammates started drugging as well. After that, it was basically me and a few other WOs trying to slow him down, while everyone else was massacred by people camping on the top buildings with Rico. The end result? Alex got 1,015 crystals (or some similar amount) and I got 110 (and was the MVP on my team). Oh, and a guy named hotjoe was being a jerk to me and the rest of my team as well (I'm not going to report him since I didn't have time to take any proof). I think another anti-drug mechanic could be as follows: If I use more than 1 supply at a time, the bonuses that they give me will be halved, so Double Armor would give me 25% extra damage resistance, Double Power would give me 25% extra damage, and Nitro would give me +14.5% extra speed. This way, you can still go full juggernaut if you want, but it would be much less powerful.

I don't know M3's damage, but I don't think M1's damage has changed at all. Still pretty effective though.

I think the best spot to shoot players if you're trying to knock them around is at the corners of their tank; it's the furthest away from their center of mass, so they'll get pushed the farthest. That said, a lot of people don't seem to realize that you can get sniped in the turret as well; I was playing on a Brest TDM a while back, and there was a Railgun-Hornet guy camping behind some cover. I managed to snipe him by the barrel of his railgun. He certainly didn't see that one coming. Still, it's more of a trick shot to snipe someone by the barrel of their weapon, since at long ranges, it's exceptionally hard to aim that precisely, with the sway and the imprecise crosshairs of M0 Shaft.

I tried out M0 Twins yesterday (it had been sitting in my garage collecting dust). Actually not that bad, but it's hard to hit moving targets, and it still takes a while to kill things compared to, say, Rico. I'm probably not that good at it; any tips?

Rico still really annoying after rebalance. Not as bad as before, though.
