I came across with an obvious hack or cheat once only which could not be explained with lag. Some others were not as obvious though several were mysterious. This was in Rio CTF. A lower than WO Viking Freeze started to take our flag. - It was very difficult to destroy the tank, although he rarely used drugs (he might have been she of course) - He was sooo fast - incredibly fast - that a hornet with speed boost could not catch up with it even when the Viking did not use SB!! He could deliver the blue flag to the red base in an impossibly short time. Therefore this was not a lag. - Of course his tank made some unimaginable move across obstacles and sometimes jumped up strangely. Fortunately we had been far ahead of the reds in the battle when he joind, and the 15-20 minutes of his activity at the end of the 60min. game could not help them win the battle :P But that was really annoying and frustrating.

Agree. I prefer to buy via PayPal. I simply cannot understand why Tanki distinguish these paying methods and restricting us. They want to motivate us buying cry, but WHY only those two ways? Isn't the money they get through PayPal the same?

Actually I feel the opposite. I mean druggers, too. But rather on high ranks. Reason: at low rank players upto WO2 skills can compensate druggers (not a full team of druggers, but at least some). At higher rank above Brigadier the players usually have much more experience and skills. So, serious drugging can effectively influence the battles. I usually rarely use garage supply (mainly against drugged attackers in CTF ;) ), and really enjoy when I make them waste the investment of pressing any of the 1-2-3-4 :D

I like the TDMs, too. This (and any team battles) are good only when balanced though. And I am not talking about the number of players, but the "killing power". If one of the teams rules the game easily it is not fun to play. Even if I am in the winner team and get the reward. (Of course it is better to win, but much much better in case of a big fight.) It is also difficult to find a good team for a lone player, like me.

Thank you Kirby for the detailed explanation. Also GorcsevIvan for his two cents added.

I unsuccessfully tried to find answer to my question in the forum, so I hope someone can inform me. I mainly played team battles and found that the battle fund increase best in CTF and the crystal drops seems to be the same in TDM (I have very rarely played CP). As for the xp points also the CTF seems to be the best in team battles, as killing a flag holder gives double point, capturing the flag (with plenty enemies) gives even more. I realized, that my score on the score table (TAB) is exactly that I gained in experience points. Recently I played some DMs and found that the score table shows only the number of kills. What about the score? How much xp can I get by destroying a tank? I could not find but remember of a post or comment saying that DM is the best for fast ranking up. Is this true?

Your italic Times New Roman letters are much worse reading then the normal. Why the earth do you use that? It demotivates (at least) me to read your post, that I believe you wrote to be read. Your choice though.

I cannot understand why people saying the Smart Cool Down makes the game boring now. The all-time druggers could dominate the games only because the enemy did not use drugs the same way. Two teams drugging both side or neither using supplies results almost the same battle. The majority of the druggers would complain the same way if they would not have found battles with no druggers. Based on my experience I can say there are drug wars definitely. But no continuous, and mindless 234. The fighting is harder and cannot be unbalanced the same way. I simply cannot understand why people like the unbalanced playing.

Stuff I don't like about the update: -I don't see the need for the new icons. The old ones were fine as-is, and it's going to be a while before I get used to them. I do appreciate the devs making the icons easier to understand for newbies, but I haven't seen any complaints about them. -The new textures for the crystal drop boxes are really ugly. They're also easier to look over, since they don't have that iridescent blue sheen the old ones did. I haven't seen a gold box yet, so no comment on that. Though I need some time to get used to the new icons, I have to admit, that I really like how easy to recognize them on other players even from a distance. The new naming is not bad as now we can easily refer to them with a 2 digit acronym, RK, DP, SB, DA (the mine is exception). The color of the RK bothers me a little. The old was easier to recognize.

All, who cannot enjoy without all drugs on are either noob or simply unskilled player. Now it is not enough just hitting 0-5 buttons, but you should be also train to be more skillful. I enjoy the new drug policy.

Now it is 7 minutes to 15 o'clock in Central Europe (CET). So, the period starts in 7 min. (13 o'clock UTC).
