Long time player of nearly 5 years is done. This new overdrive thing is absolutely ridiculous, taking all of the fun and strategy out of playing this game. Obviously, the developers are too stupid to know when to leave well enough alone. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. I remember the days when you actually had to plan and execute without stupid gimmicks to bail out those who are clueless about such things. THAT is what made the game fun. It isn't fun anymore. Off to find another tank game that embraces what this game USED to be.

Without any upgrade advantages, what's the point? Except giving the greedy developers more money for essentially nothing. Don't waste your money.

Once again, Tankionline knows how to make things worse. I like how beginning ranked players are forced to play matches against players who are 6-7 ranks higher than everyone else. Real smart.

Cry me a river if you're some loser without a job or just some dumb kid whose parents won't give you any money. Get over it. If you can't, ask Santa Claus for some Tanki money!

I'm surprised that anyone actually has to point this out, which means that the greedy, Russian geniuses don't care because they just want the money. Ever since the update, there has been more lag in the game. While the internet plays a part, the disparity between the time before the update and the time after indicates that the problem is with the game servers. I've consulted four computer experts who have all come to the same conclusion. So, tanki needs to stop being so cheap and greedy and do what they need to do to make the game playable, despite the antiquated Russian servers, which everyone knows are crap. Spend the money to fix the servers! That's much better than the cheap gimmicks you added via the update.

It has been a week since the first time I reported this in another thread. The problem still exists. Is there any kind of a time-table anywhere regarding when this might get fixed? A lot of crystals were spent to upgrade the Shaft to M2, and now it is all but unusable. Thanks.

Okay...thanks, Rounoun.

I had this problem just a few days ago, and it seemed to be resolved when I reported it. Now, it's happening again. I have to hit the directional arrows several times to get the scope to move when I activate it. The directional keys operate perfectly fine in every other aspect of the game except this one. I'm not sure why the Shaft gun has recently been having so many problems (scope is off when aiming, and now this). Anyway, whatever resolution was implemented before, the problem is back.

Looks like it's working.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem: The last few days, when activating the shaft scope, you have to hit directional keys several times to get it to move. It's not the keypad because it's a new computer, and the directional keys have no problem during any other aspect of the game except when trying to use the shaft scope.

That explains the increased lag in the game. I've already spoken to several computer experts who have all stated that it's the quality of the servers that is causing the lag, since no other game has this problem. So, it doesn't have as much to do with players' computers as it does the servers. Tanki is trying to deflect the problem from themselves to the players. Another online tank game "World of Tanks" doesn't have this problem either.
