Understand. I'll go back through the topic and try to find the relevant posts. We had someone high up comment on the mechanics about a year ago. Might have been Kirov. I don't recall who.

What makes you Mad in Tanki? Things you hate/like in the game?

Two things kits do , that makes them a deal, if not, they are not a deal for you. 1) They get you weapons/hulls at an earlier rank, and/or 2) The discount usually amounts to getting a near "free" paint. Often the "free" paint will not match the playing style required for the combo or your other combos. Don't buy a kit if you are only getting a deal on a paint that doesn't not work for you and the weapons /hull w/o the paint is at or near the same price. Kits are often a way for Tanki to "sell" paints at some profit and have them seen on the battlefield.

Pretty sure this is backwards. Paints do not subtract against damage. They add to your armor against a particular weapon. We have had this debate before, earlier in this topic. It is why paints benefit heavy hulls more than they do light hulls, when hit by a weapon the paint works against.

I don't quite think so. Although your " connection and server" mentions are qualifiers ers for what he was talking about .The nature of the way railgun "shoots" in the this game and the movement of the tanks , there are built in "lag" factors built in for it . At the point of the shot there can be a 5 -45 degree cone where rail gun will hit even though it is not on target and/or there are intervening obstacles in the way. Lag of course can have something to do with "impossible" shots for any weapon, but with some(in fact all) there is a built in compensation for lag even if lag is not there in any amounts that would affect playability. All weapons have this at times , it is just more blatantly noticeable with weapons like Vulcan and Railgun. IMO it reflects limitations of the program and the servers of the game and then corrections factors in built into program to adjust for these. At times it looks like and is overcompensation for lag and not "lag" as is known. Call it "rounding" and sometimes you see where .5 or .6 should not round to 1. so to speak. It is a game deal with it. Even in real life "shooting" never will you see two shots hit the "same" hole. There is always some "half-mooning" present whether you see it or not.

If you're going to use Vulcan and not concern yourself with a long range paint, , buy "Storm" at 9K. It is the best firebird paint until Loam at 102K/Lt.Col.

This is part of the "anti-fly hack". A lot of timesnow if a tank gets under yours you will self -destruct. Happens to me once or twice a battle. For some asinine reason, wasps and lighter tanks can easily lift my Titan off the ground and it explodes. About the only way to fix it, is quit playing, becuase Tanki Inc won't do a thing about it.

Predator" Kit — 50 325 crystals Available at: Master Sergeant Includes: Hunter M1, Thunder M1, Jaguar Available till: 7th Jan 2016, 02:00 UTC This? It is now closed , I think. Or the sale is. If you can still buy it on sale when get the crystals and/or hit W/O4 , it is a good combo and deal. And you should have well more than 50K before then . I gather you are looking at have 26K xp and have won 10K . You have 100K XP to go. During that time your rate of earning crystal should go up, Plus you get larger rank bonuses and daily bonuses as you go. The thing will be how soon(before w/o4) you can get it when thunder opens anyway. It is more OP the earlier you have it. Checked your profile, you are doing fine and can stick with your plan. Note: Though things may change as you grow in ranks. By the Time you hit W/O 4, there are even many M2 combos out

I looked and could not find this. Multiple Weapons- either in multiple new turrets or in a new hull type with mounted weapon and a turret mounted weapon or a turret on top of another turret as a cupola weapon. This opens up a wide range of item possibilities( both for Tanki to sell and players to buy. The idea would either be like some of multi-turreted Russian tanks of WWII (the T-35, T-28) or a like some US/UK tanks which had a hull mounted gun which could only fire forward and a turret( the original Churchill tank) , or a combination tank like the US M3 Grant/Lee which had a hull mounted cannon , a turret mounted weapon , and another weapon in the cupola. Of course the selection for multiple weapons could be limited and also additional charges( on top of weapon cost) could be implemented (new hulls with a weapon slot , multiple turret configs) both to incur profits for Tanki and to avoid OP combos. This opens up Tanki to a new realm of a varieties of item selection both in hulls and turrets for Tanki to sell and for players to select. There would be some cool looking new tanks on the battlefield/in the game without changing any of the existing weapon/game parameters.

I hate railgun , but that is B) , at your rank.

I find all this talk of Vulcan being OP amusing. When it first came out, it was something at long range, and definitely hurt the rail gun/shaft baby monopoly on range battles. But they nerfed its range damage and increased the overheating greatly , so it lost its long range characteristics ,so I stop using it. It was at shorter ranges and I am sure it is still OP if you have unlimited health kits , but everything is at that point. Vulcan is not even half of what it was.
-
I have heard talk, that one trick with Vulcan, is to stick with M0, and just upgrade it to almost max. An M0 Vulcan does not heat up as fast or inflict the heat damage of the higher Vulcans(something to that effect). That enables someone to shoot almost indefinitely , when in higher rank battles. We have a guy in our alliance who did this , said it was very effective. Perhaps recent parameter changes have affected this, IDK, but I have seen none in the past few months that would.

I call rico's "rubber balls" and twin's "puff balls". The oranges come from when rico's had orange shots. Funny I can't remember if they are that now (seems they changed a little in color like last May or something)or if they change at M levels or what.

Not compared to what it used to be. ;)
