Yes! The battle continues but it's a blank screen. I have noticed recently that on Serpukhov many people on a team are doing poorly - I suspect they are all suffering from the same issue that plagues me with this map since one of the updates several weeks ago. I suspect something in the "mouse control" update ruined this map as I never had this happen before (on some maps such as Lost Temple and Berlin I avoid those because fatal errors are just too common and it ruins game play).

I have been in many battles where a single tank is literally indestructible even when 6 or 7 of my team are pounding it hard (with a mix of M2 and M3 turrets and some using double damage. I find it hard to believe the same 6 or 7 people all are suffering lag and cannot inflict mortal damage to that one tank. It defies imagination, and, it seems to be an issue specifically with a person using a Viking M3 and either Hammer M3 or Isida M3. One of these was able to use 3 repair kits in a row from the blue base to red base in Serpukhov. That's supposed to be impossible.

Oh. My. God. Someone else has made the same observation! In some rounds it feels like my tank is made of paper and I can't hit the side of a barn 1 foot in front of me. At other times it seems like the opposite. It's almost as if certain teams have some hidden advantage once certain players show up or leave. Almost as if the arrival of that player drugging skews the team to be invincible. The weakest turret overall for offense has to be Isida - but when I see one on a Viking M3 that is being attacked by 6 or 7 tanks and receiving no damage and just waltzes away with the flag as if it is a stroll in the park I do wonder if Tanki intentionally fixes certain rounds so that one team always wins and one loses. Thus, as you say - trying to get people to think "Wow! If only I had drugged I might have taken that damned Isida out!" The shotgun blast from M3 Hammer taking out an M3 Mammoth in one shot has to be proof of things such as this.

I've always suspected these threads are somewhat of a joke. More like some person makes an announcement then nobody from Tanki reads the responses. My impression is that the developers don't give a crap what the players think. Sad, too, because you'd think they would pay attention to paying customers. That's fine. I spent a small amount of money on this game once (actually it was a gift from someone else) and given the state of things it will be a cold day in hell before I ever spend another Ruble on this again.

Use a credit card.

Yeah, absolutely. When a set of people who has skills beats my team I never feel bad about it - it's like watching a set of lions attack a herd of unsuspecting gazelle. But when you have 3 drugged up M3 Hammers mounted on Vikings driving to the flag and back all day untouched despite the efforts of 10 on another team it is akin to the sportsmanship of using a nuclear missile to shoot a deer. I feel disgusted about how the developers have ruined the game, log out, and play something else.

Earnings wise if you buy a bit drug kit the "return" on the investment is more than upgrading any turrets or hulls. The problem, however, is you get some moron with a Hammer/Viking M3 who is drugging and it's impossible to take them out without the exact same equipment. Even other M2/M3 turrets stand no chance against this monstrosity. The worst idea ever: putting Hammer in this game. When you have 3 of them drugging it's impossible to play.

Ugh. Even on a completely different computer the same problem with Serphukhov: The only thing in common between the two computers in terms of anything during gameplay is Tanki.

Good riddance to this nonsense.

It's impossible to get a screenshot of the players or show anything about the battle when the fatal error occurs, thus, no way to meet that criteria. I'm just astonished that this issue persists for years and they can't solve it!

Facepalm:

Introducing Tanki for the blind: you don't need no stinking tank - just guess where your opponents and team are!

Yet again:

Again:

Again, are the developers morons?

I was sort of agreeing with you - given the choice of big gold boxes or increased battle funds I would rather have increased battle funds.

Sloppy programming. The same thing that keeps you from picking up boxes, causes you to randomly drops flags, or prevents you from pressing TAB to see your score - the same flaw always keeps you from giving damage, but, you still receive damage! How ridiculous is that?

I think the best thing possible would be a fund multiplier with drugs disabled - make everyone really work for it and stay in until the end. Increased battle funds only brings out the drug raiders.

I'll be glad when this is over. People joining teams solely for the purpose of waiting for gold to drop is ruining the game these few days.

I am so sick and tired of this happening!

One irritating glitch is when you join a battle with one spot still open the loading screen will get stuck on loading forever and hitting refresh doesn't solve this - I think what happens is two people click to join the battle at the same time and one person gets in while the other never does - it causes the loading screen to get stuck where the green progress bar never quite reaches the end. In order to fix this I have to close the browser and restart Tanki again.

M2 and M3 grants substantial upgrades to other turrets but why are Freeze, Twins, and Firebird stuck with the same exact range as M0 when they are upgraded fully? It makes no sense!

I mentioned that many times. Whether you have M0 or M3+ the range of Freeze and Firebird is identical - by spending more on a turret you get NOTHING in return for it. Freeze used to be a good turret to slow down a fleeing flag carrier. So too was Firebird a good choice to damage one getting away. Now you have to be in someone's face to harm them. Also the Isida's range is now longer than either Freeze or Firebird. Thus, Isida can kill you without you having an opportunity to harm them.

I'm talking about weeks ago - not during double battle funds.

I would have rather had more days of double funds than this nonsense.
