I Think if Tanki would totally eliminate the adverts and instructions and outdated guides that are constantly popping up while the back ground data is trying to load, those people with lower speed connections will be able to load the game better. There's way to much junk data constantly loading while the game is in play. I've been playing Tanki for 7 years now and if you take player choices and options totally away like you have been attempting in the past. The game becomes fixed...in more ways than one. When you took away players ability to make their own matches where they could set player limits at lower levels you purposely added more strain on the servers. Now the servers are totally maximized with players and way to much stacked layers of upload as well as downloading data. Simplify it like it was three years ago and leave it alone. If the current boondoggle test becomes the new setup, then i'm done. I'll not be apart of another Tanki failure. I Don't know if the Tanki developers noticed it or not but The last three changes to the game cause thousands of players to leave the game permanently. If that is what you want to do is drive away your PAYING customers/players...well congratulations...you succeeded. Remember...Simplify the game.

Since the Tanki God's have decided to take away creating a match when none are running, who is the ***** in charge of making nothing but death matches and no CTF Matches? The lower ranks have practically no choices in matches and get frustrated and leave the game. The players online are at the lowest quantity i've ever seen. Now what's wrong with that picture? Are the people in charge of making these decisions on bad drugs in Russia or Malta or wherever they are? And why did the parameters of a Shaft change as far as reload time, turret speed etc, after "i" already purchased it with my money? if i own it outright i should retain the original parameters and should be allowed to retain those tank features. I Personally know over 85 players that have left the game totally in disgust...and they were cash paying customers. Is that Tanki's goal?

Yeah i don't see the point in Parkour using mostly shaft tanks. I'm just playing standard CTF And some CP mode matches with occasional DM for mission. I don't drug during play and use whatever i have or can find. I do buy mines for personal Defense occasionally, but only when i have excess crystals. They really aren't worth the expense in comparison to the gain. 50 Crystals in return for just 10 is bad economics to me. I geuss i'll keep battling on. Thanks, Bro.

It's always CTF Mode with a full house of players on both teams. I can't figure it out. I'm still getting auto rotate and shots not holding sometimes also on all of my Shaft tanks. That seems to be a common glitch they said they were going to fix 4 months ago, but it still pops up from time to time...usually when i don't need it to happen. I miss the good old days of Crystals falling everywhere and plenty of victims to pop. lol.

This may be a new problem, i haven't been able to find anything in the archives. When i'm working my daily missions, everything works fine accept the "Capture points" mission. I work to 8/10 and it locks down and no matter how many Taken flags i shoot down, recover, or capture a flag myself or anything, it won't let me complete it so i can cash out. I need those supplies. I been kicking a lot of butt and am well hated by a lot, I Even get kicked around by my team mates because i kicked the .... out of them in the Past....lol. So Don't leave me hangin fellas.

you're an ***** right? anyways i figured it out....

I Don't use a PC, I have a Google Chromebox. It uses Direct Internet access with no capacity to be affected by Viruses, malware or anything except low Ping on Tanki's end. My other Tank accounts that i've had for years Work perfectly but i use other accounts because i can't find the games i want to play on Certain Fields so i have to switch Tank accounts on different XP Levels to find one to play. It's just affecting the lower rank account tanks for some reason.

I Use a new browser each time i enter the game, No lags, just low ping every few months, but i don't play on those days. What proof would i have if my Crystal totals are zip? Think about it. This all started when the new daily missions started. And it's a waste of time asking Tanki online help, They haven't bothered answering questions i had for another account in over a year. I've been playing here for over two years with two Generalissimo accounts, a Major General account, and two other accounts and whenever there is a problem it gets brushed aside or some smart ass with all the answerS startS cheerleading how great Tanki is, BUT CAN'T DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I'm too old and too smart to keep falling for the same BS. I'm sure this whole post will get deleted because nobody wants to be responsible and i have enough guts to stand up for myself.

I Have a New Tank "Knighttemplar4israel" and when i play any match of any length of time i don't have any crystals and no credit for Gold boxes or daily mission awards for completed missions. What the hell is going on Tanki? Why do i bother to play your game or Do business with you if you're going to rip me off? I just played a 60 minute match, and was top player with 1235 score and caught a Gold box and at the end of the match had no score/crystals whatsoever. I've been playing this tank for a week and a half and only 297 crystals are shown. Can you fix this or do i need to go someplace else and play and spend my money?

Why is my Shaft tank auto rotating and the only control i have is hull movement? I didn't even set the tank up for mouse controls. I can't even play a game i've been playing for over a year now. Every time you make a change the game gets more screwed up. What's wrong with you people? are you trying to chase players away from the game? When you make a change it must encompass all operating systems not just the crap running in Russia. The Shaft tank that i've invested money and time in is absolutely worthless now. If you wanted to get rid of Shaft Tankers why didn't just delete their accounts instead of doing this underhanded crap. And you Moderators Gloating and cheer leading for the changes, you need to give it a rest, because the game is losing players...that pay the bills. I'm using Google Chrome on a Google chromebox attached to my widescreen TV, That system doesn't allow changing operating systems. so i'm locked in. The full screen feature turns on automatically after 10 seconds of playtime and immediately starts the turret rotating with no way to stop it. When i click on the button to set the mouse into play the tank loses it's aiming capabilities either by pointing straight up or down and total loss of movement controls. There needs to be an individual option per player to leave their controls as originally set for the old function. You need to fix this and soon or i'm leaving Tanki with the rest of the players and i'm taking my money with me.

I've been getting a lot of "Re-enter" game boxes popping up. sometimes two or three a game. I Get my shaft tank set up with protective mines placed and get started then poof, i'm having to restart. I Think you owe me about 65 mines by now and i don't appreciate it one bit. I'm using Google chrome on a ASUS Chromebox, so i don't have any windows issues or lag issues FROM MY END. I Have a ultra high speed provider on a East coast United States location running signal on the new fiber optic direct intercontinental underwater cable that leaves Maine to Nova Scotia then to western England and have determined it's Tanki's raggedy servers and sporadic low FPS speeds. Here lately even the Ping has been low whenever a server is packed with players. The servers most plagued with issues seems to be EN 4,6. AND Occasionally EN 3 . Also i've had an occasional issue of my Tank failing to reload and become visible after an opponent destroys it. I'll have to reload the page sometimes and restart the game losing score or being excluded from the game. These issues are frustrating to the point of being reluctant to continue playing the Game. I've had discussion with many other players on these issues and they are equally frustrated. So That being said whats being done about it? I've got almost two years of my time and effort invested in this game and worked too hard to deserve being kicked around now. I have put up with being victimized by the unfairness of the game changes and am getting tired of it. You wouldn't like it happening to you, why then is it acceptable to you that we put up with it?

Smokey only after M2 upgrade. I'm using Shaft on a Hunter Hull to race thru the ranks and get the XP And crystals to buy the Upgrade for Smokey. Smokey is a hidden gem of the Game. Some of the top players in the game use a M2 Smokey or better. Shaft with the laser is really good if you have the skills to use it effectively like some of us. It's a great sucker gun like Smokey. A lot of people mistake it as a recruit gun and run up to it thinking they will get a easy kill and get boned instead. Smokey is good after M2 upgrade and Thunder is good with a Double red Box only at M1 and dangerous at M2 with or without a Double impact Box.

I See a lot of Whiny babies commenting how the new shaft is bad or whatever. Try developing your low skill levels first. I Bought a Shaft and switched from Smokey and tripled my kill rate and crystal levels in 30 days. I Got 6 ranks in 32 days and developed tricks to hide my beam/laser till i need it. I Even have poor Provider service with low to very low FPS Almost all of the time. Even with that issue It is still the deadliest tank with killer power. So stop being a whiny baby and try working harder up front so you'll have it easier later. Mean while i'll enjoy killing you and getting fatter off your mistakes...lol.

Just take your lumps like the rest of us. It's good for developing your skills. I have a Shaft and know where to hit them and peel them open like a sardine can. They need a medium critical hit or better on the turret. Certain hulls need less to bust them open. I Love them being in the game. My kill ratio is up 15% since they came . So stop whining and go kill some, just leave a few for me....lol.

I Stopped using my Smokey for Shaft and have quadrupled my xp and scores easily ,to the point of feeling sorry for my victims.......nah, not really. You all deserve to get popped...lol. Love the Added Human equation involved with Shaft's Techniques. Theres a sucker born (Spawned) every second, thanks to Shaft. He's a Bad Mother.....shut your mouth...lol. I Have 6 ranks in 30 days with the new shaft, going on 7, Nice update. I Would like to suggest a mine icon or light that lets players know when the mine has been detonated. Thanks Tanki
