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.

Another candidate for "accidentally" falling off the map, then and later.

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.

double post

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. ;)

I vote to just get rid on the supply kits being sold, not just the discounts. If drugs could only be earned as battle rewards, it would stop the ability of any player to double their tank simply because they have more money than the next guy.

I second this , or perhaps buy dirty, which is the ultimate early/mid anti-shaft paint. Also you should MU your Titan as it is a good hull which you are going to be playing for along time. An MU'ed M1 Titan is the strongest tank in the game, including even those semi-mobile Mammoths as a Titan can maneuver to get out of serious fire whereas a Mammy can't. The aforementioned lead paint would work better for you with a different weapon , when trying to hide in bushes. Lead is really good for that(with a smoky,or thunder) , but a rail would give it away. Dirty does not "mask" quite as well. If you can still see the XL starter kit , buy it, cheapest way to get dirty. The other starter kit has lead, and is a good deal too. note: looked it up seems both of these are discontinued. :mellow:

What is really funny is you two are the exact opposites as to how you play the game as to hul/weapon configs. Sniper you are truly a sniper with your smoky/hunter-hornet config and you obviously would not like Vulcans. You Brian are the antithesis I mentioned since you use a viking /Vulcan. It is a default and not surprising you both argue towards different ends as y'all are different ends and PoV on configs in the game. This new profile thing can be of use.

I don't use hammer much , but on occasions when I want to get ignorant with the DD , I take out the old hammer on a Titan and blast stuff. One thing I found is people want to play the "range game" with you. They try to stay outside your effective range. SO really knowing the hammer's "spread" is important. What i suggest for new hammers users(and maybe a few old ones) is to go to an empty map that has the 10 meter grid easily seen and nice flat walls.(esplanade, garner, subway, stadium,etc) and start shooting at flat walls at 10-20-30-40-50-60-70 meters to see how the spread of hammer actually works at your M level, and how many pellets hit in a 10 meter square target at different distances particularly longer ranges. Learn how far 50-55-70 meters really is and think about it when fighting. It will help you out, when people play that "range game" against you and they they think you cannot hurt or kill them. If you do it right you should see some "interesting" comments in chat after you "blow them away" at 50 meters or so(or slightly longer than that with the higher M level hammers). Note: To go along with the above "target practice" routine , really need to look at and understand the "spread" stats that are in wiki to go along with looking at the shot patterns and dispersion. Plus keep in mind the "auto aim" when shooting at different elevations.

The supply kit discounts are really destroying the game. And you note this only gets worse at higher ranks. :( Anyway yea, A Vulcan with enough drugs i.e. health kits , is a weapon even a NOOB/bad player can use to wreck the battlefield not matter what their rank. And a good player with Vulcan is scary and really scary if they use health kits as required and in an unlimited fashion. I used Vulcan when it first came out before they nerfed (shorter ranged, -FP )it, And with kits , that thing was death. But I saw what kinda health kits it was/would eat up and I simply could not afford that then the nerfing came, so I wandered away from Vulcan. Lately yes, I see a few nooby players using them with kits and DD and they are still bad weapons. On a very few occasion there are a tiny amount of "good" players I see using Vulcan , surprisingly on Hunters and Vikings moving around fighting at even short range -40m with Vulcan, and you can certainly tell they ain't noobs. I only could use the thing on heavy hulls. In short any fool can do well with Vulcan on a heavy hull with health kits and you just gotta deal with that, but if you see one on a Viking and a guy is driving smoothly around killing people, those guys often can't be labelled noobs, and you might need to get worried.

:lol: , I had never checked this profile business. Well you fit my exception. Anyway I thought the railgun suggestion was particularly funny given your name. Don't know why you asked about hammer/hornet. And I still suggest you put thunder on something heavier.

There is a real problem with lighter tanks getting up under and or pushing up under heavier tanks and then the heavy tank explodes from the new anti-jump hack. This effect makes no sense and affects playability in a negative way. The heavier more powerful tank should be the one that stays on the ground. There does not seem to be any logical reason for it. So why is it? Is there some way Tanki benefit$ from this or is it just meant to irritate players?

Railgun. Neither of those weapons is good with hornet. Note: Hammer/Hornet might be fun if you are a real flag grabber , especially for the Monte Carlo map. I'd put thunder on anything heavier.

With those two maps , I'd take "anvil" . And Vortex is a much better paint. You can pick up Hunter and thunder some other time or singly, Getting Jaguar paint for free in a kit, doesn't make the kit worth the expense.

To ask for a paint , you have to include combo you would use it on and game style/maps you play on.
