Ive been playing for a long time now, not on this account as such but since the days where the shaft wasnt around, where M3 twins were unlockable at a low rank and the graphics were A LOT worse than now. And over the course of playing i would say it got a lot better around the shaft introduction era, they fixed a lot of bugs and improved the graphics and added more control over the settings and so on. HOWEVERRRR I just noticed something today, after coming back here from a couple of years break. One, the overdrive feature cools down way too quick. I mean i understand like 1 overdrive in a 15 min match but im pretty sure it can go as high as 3 which just encourages drugging rather than skill if it occurs so often and sometimes just plain ruins the tactical uses of it to something much more trivial. And the biggest, and possibly the worst design implement ive ever seen in the history of Tanki Online, is how they changed the Hull specs... Oh my god i wish i could be in the heads of the people who decided that the PERFECTLY GOOD incremental changes between larger tanks wasnt working. I can live with the overdrive, i can live with premium accounts, i can live with the turret changes But REALLY, they've completely removed the uniqueness and need for some hulls now. For example, As far as i remember, the HP of each tank went from lowest to highest as so. Wasp, Hornet, Hunter, Viking, Dictator, Titan, Mammoth Which is perfectly acceptable and very logical given the physical appearances of them The speed i believe went in the same order, again very very logical. What it created was a good balance, if you want a balanced hull that works with most turrets, choose the hunter, If you wanted more speed then the hornet, more protection then viking etc, with the extremes being wasp for pure speed and mammoth for pure HP. NOW it goes like this Wasp = Hornet Hunter = Viking = Dictator Titan = Mammoth Now, all they've done is completely remove the need for the hornet, mammoth, dictator and hunter. If the titan has the same specs as the mammoth but is smaller then only an ***** would choose the mammoth, If the wasp has the same specs as the hornet then again, useless for any hornet users unless you use a high recoil turret which in that case you would most likely use a middle/heavy hull anyway and the worst one is this, how on earth is the hunter, a smaller hull, going to have the same HP as the dictator and yet be SLOWER than a viking at different M's. Bottom line is this, they've ruined the Hull specs. They really need to just go back to the older system. Idk what made them change but im SURE they're many other people who feel this way. I would appreciate to hear what other peoples opinions on this are because im personally (as you can tell) triggered from these changes.

Nevermind i just found out its called Overdrive and i can press shift to activate it...

As the title suggest i have came back to tanki after around 2 years of not playing it, everything seems fine enough but there is this strange like spherical blue power up thing where the tank gets all the supplies on it, im confused what this is and how to use it. Any light shed on the topic will be appreciated, thanks!

BEST UPDATE OF THIS YEAR

I wouldnt, cause you have the same combo as me but i tend to find that you'll need a paint against Thunder and Rico. Save up for a "striker" kit ( i know thats a good 20k from your current cry BUT tommorow if you play for around 2 hours and earned on average 400 in normal conditions you would earn 3200 cry, and when the x5 is added that is 16k so you'll be very close) because it has swash and to buy swash is close to the price of the kit anyway so you may as well buy that Or you could get storm for 9k... its up to you whether you want to get a medium range turret as well cause if you need one then save up for the kit

Save up for M1 Hammer or get "Striker" kit Currently i use a MU'ed Hunter M1 and a MU'ed Firebird M1 so i needed a longer range turret for battles like Rio and Silence. Plus i have a M1 Wasp with fully MU'ed HP

I personally feel that they should ONLY reward crystals and not supplies to the wave of drugging now in tanki, i love the idea but now even i have 100's of drugs and look at my rank :/ they used to be used wisely now they are used far too often and are ruining the game Reward crystals not supplies so that with the crystals they have earned they can buy supplies or upgrade ect... Who agrees?

I have 14k and by tuesday ill probably have 20k, I currently use a firebird m1 with a hunter m1, its a solid combo for polygon but i want to play Rio more often and need a longer ranged turret Should i save up and buy m1 thunder,m1 hammer or by tuesday a "keeper kit" which has m1 smoky,titant and chainmail for 16k? I also have a fully mu'ed m1 wasp if it helps to decide a turret

Always losing, in CTF rio i can easily get the flag and bring it back without drugs and in a silence game as well. but if im really not in the mood for it i would join a winning, also if there is double crystals then i join the winning team on serphuov or something

depends on your playing style but if you're on silence then rico is better

damn this is brilliant :D awesome job man Can someone please send a translated snapshot of the main menu... :( really need it

ARRGGG im so annoyed! i just missed a gold box because of lag!!!!!!!!! and my team lost because of my lagging!!!!!!!! i could kill a man right now, i lost a 999kill game by 10 kills, and those 10 kills were because of me lagging and the other team killing me :'(
