When it had the wider angle it also had a shorter range. I think the old way was better balanced. It was quite possible to give support to a tank above or below a ramp. Now it's impossible.

After doing this for a few days now I would probably be correct in saying that the Daily Mission = 2x~3x the "Daily Gift" based on rank. I figure I'm getting between 2x~3x the value per day compared to before.

Also the impact force on Vulcan is the most annoying aspect of it. If I'm being hit on the left by Vulcan why can't I turn right? :rolleyes:

I never thought I would say this as I use Isida more than I do Firebird (my two principal turrets - both M2 with 25% upgrades on them). But I really feel Isida's damage effect is OP now. I think Isida's damage should be decreased but the healing increased. I liked it much better with decreased range and a more effective cone.

I remember when Freeze actually stopped me in my tracks - literally frozen solid. I still use the same hull, turrets, and paint since that time and the current Freeze does nothing at all to slow me down or prevent me from turning and attacking the Freeze. Old Freeze made it almost impossible for flag stealers to get away. The only time I really see Freeze effective now is when someone uses DD. But it still doesn't slow the enemy down.

That's why I like Firebird the best - nobody gets in my way of attacking an enemy tank. Nothing more irritating than using Shaft, Twins, Isida, or Rico than to have your own team in the way so you can't damage opponents.

It would be interesting if something like this could be implemented: It could be very slow but have powerful splash damage.

Actually the impact force of Twins to me is the special feature. I can't tell you the number of times I have been pushed back and flipped by M2 or M3 while going up a ramp. Even Rico with it's much stronger impact doesn't affect me this way.

I know about lag spawn - when I spawn and cannot damage anyone or pick up supplies I know I have to refresh the browser. But he was definitely causing harm to the flag carrier. It happened 3 times and this was the third time when I finally took the screenshot. Thing is I see this happen often - it seems to be a problem when too many tanks are clustered together (seemingly it is always a Viking and it makes it appear it has GOD_MODE on or something). Either a hack or a flaw - hard to know.

Either a flaw in Tanki's damage physics or a hack: "Kungfulover" (the red Isida for blue team) was taking no damage at all from any of the tanks in this area - despite TWO Firebird M2s burning it to a crisp along with the Thunder and Rail the Isida/Viking combination was impossible to destroy. This happened more than one time in this round.

Twins is the ultimate drugging turret since it has unlimited ammo.

Why is the video of the week using the old power up icons on the tanks?

Can we use Future Self? ;)

Sometimes the criteria to complete a mission and the difference in rewards are comical. Capture 10 control points? DDx53 reward. Capture DDx7 boxes from the battlefield? SBx13 and DAx19. Earn 700 points in battle? DAx17 reward. :rolleyes:

Mission: capture control points. You do not have to be the only one to cap them - as long as you touch it when it is capped then it meets the criteria for the mission.

I am tired of seeing "I'm done with my mission - later."

Yes, Firefox unilaterally took it upon themselves to disable software on my computer without my permission or informing before doing so. I think this is a dangerous precedent. The fact that a typical user won't know how to bypass this nonsense is even more disturbing - it's actually really difficult to find the three variables that need to be changed along with searching for the additional blocklist file in order to disable the annoyance. Frankly it pisses me off.

I think in terms of needing the massive carnage to get the most kills per hour nothing would beat buying Firebird. I think I would pick Polygon CP because of the fact that everyone has to gather in one place to keep control of the single CP. :P

You can disable the plugin check for Firefox by altering a few settings in the config file. This will get rid of the annoyance of Firefox blocking stuff automatically. Personally I think it is a disgrace that they decided unilaterally to disable Flash.

Based on my screenshots I can average 150 or so per hour in Rio or about 100 per hour in Serpuhov. It would take about 3 days of non-stop fighting in Rio to get 9,999 kills. :D

If I wanted to get a bunch of kills as soon as possible I'd use Firebird M3, Viking M3, and DD/DA.

Happens to me too. It's because without Isidas often times the flag carrier would never make it back. :)

I don't usually use it but if I'm the only Isida around and need to keep up I will.

Using Isida with strategic use of DD is a guaranteed first place spot nearly every time in team battles (since DD also allows you to heal your team twice as fast). ;)

It still is given to your randomly. I've been getting it every day for 4 days now.
