I think this update is good IF rico impact is also reduced, rico is the most annoying turret in the game because of it's impact and other things, if impact was reduced then it would be a lot more fair for other players.

I got almost everything I wanted, wasn't the right rank for m2 rail though which is no fault of tanki

I guess I will have to live with no crystal drops but PLEASE increase the battle fund size it is still to small especially without crystal box drops

ok, here are my thoughts on this update in a nutshell... it is stupid. reasons? A. you have to stay till the end of the battle to get ANY crystals. B. everybody knows you only get serious crystals from the battle fund if you are on the winning team, if your team loses, then you only get like 100 crystals if you are first for a moderate length battle. now if your team is seriously losing you will get discouraged because there is NO chance for crystals, then people will leave, is that any fun? also people won't join the losing team, before I would join almost any battle, because even if I can't turn the game around I can still get some crystals. D. Gold boxes should be about skill as they have always been, now it is just the fastest tank will get it because it is the first to find the box. d. more people will start drugging so that they win, then we get back to the problem of too many drugs which is what smart cool downs what trying to fix E. this discourages brave tankers from playing in high rank battles, because again they can't get xp as quickly, therefore less crystals, it much easier to play with your own rank, this is the same if you want to play with your friend who is a couple ranks higher than you, he may get a couple hundred crystals and you one hundred which isn't fair. I think the previous update was great just how it was, If there are people sitting on the crystal drop zones just kill them. Crystal boxes shouldn't be removed from the game, they are just too big a part of the game to get rid of Another idea is to have two options when you make the battle drop boxes or no drop boxes

Get rid of Edinburgh and keep Cologne, Edinburgh would be too easy to dominate by a drugging team, because they can fill each passage with one mine and then nobody can go through without hitting a mine, this is especially bad at low ranks where 1 mine will kill any tank. Cologne is nice because it has a mix of thin passages and wide area. That is just my opinion.
