This by a long long long way is the absolute worst update ever. I have played this for years and if you didn't like who you were playing you left that battle. Not having the freedom to chose your own battle is restrictive and will be the ending of Tanki for many, as when the game is finished you are booted out to wait for another game especially for someone with low internet speeds . There is no flow to this new rubbish i.e back and forth struggle of war and no satisfaction of success when this is acheived It is now rip sh1t and bust. This is not a good move forward and I reiterate you will lose a lot more players.

I am disillusioned by the ease at which significantly lower ranks are able to destroy my tank. It is disheartening to discover that Tanki has governed this as part of a so called improvement without the forethought of other longstanding and higher ranking tankers. As when the parameters were set, it was acceptable for your tank to be destroyed by a higher rank and as a lower rank was totally acceptable to the lower ranker, and when the lower rank did achieve a kill against a higher rank it was an achievement. Now this milestone in achievement has been eroded and is irrelevant thereby diminishing the rank status and creating a wish wash of hodge podge free for all which further erodes society in precedence of respect. I believe this will not be read, but if it is you will understand what is being said.

I think that this adjustment is ridiculous, if you take away a characteristic it is only fair that you bolster it in some other way, i.e. reducing impact- increase damage or penetration, don't forget they did a similar thing to thunder last year, and also as you know thunder is prone to self destruct so they penalised it by introducing self destruct lose points and team points (stupid). Did it stop people driving off an embankment to stop you getting a kill, NO. I used to love thunder but was driven away from it by developers trying to justify their jobs, I changed to rail because it was the next best thing. However it would now seem someone's job is again needing justification and we all lose out again slowly but surely the eradication of the game as we know it is disappearing and eventually we will end up playing with just a stick in a field, until another half wit says "you'll have someone's eye out with that" and it will be finished altogether.

I don't see the point in having a wavy vapour/energy trail if anything it should radiate out from the beam but not in a wave, it is definitely a gimmick as is Isida large transfer of energy plausible but looks kind of babyish however you don't see massive muzzle flashes and a puff of smoke from Thunder or Shaft which is reality?
