Seems to be a "flame bug" tonight. At random times during battles my tank will just catch on fire during battles and burn and die when no one is firing at me and no flame tanks . It also seems to occur after railgun hits, tank will catch on fire then too sometimes. This was/is on server en-5, have talked to people said it is happening on server 1-en too.

If that is the case then waiting for a few team members to gather in one place before charging in would be "sabotage" , as would waiting for others to get into overwatch positions to snipe/support would be "sabotage". I mean yea the Parkour moves that take a-lot of time( minute +?) and tanks(a big tank tower, etc.) might be considered slowing down a game, but such moves would be suicidal to even try in a typical TDM, CTF, CP battle. Little stunts , that don't lose tanks flipped over or immobilized, or time I can't really see against- per your Swift example

That is what the stats say. I don't understand it either. Loading my garage now, I think it is because M1 hunter unlocks after M1 Viking. I am checking on the issue. Yes Viking M1 unlocks at WO1 armor -162, Hunter M1 unlocks at WO4 armor 167. Hunter cost 30K, Viking cost 20K, so there is that issue too :) Why your M1 freeze seems to work better against M1 Hunter rather than M1 Viking IDK, perhaps it is because Viking has more power, It certainly isn't weight because Hunter weighs more at M1. You may just be fighting M0 Hunters and not M1's. I have not put my M1 hunter hull out in the "mud" yet, I am kinda stuck on my M1 Richo/M1 Titan combo ATM. Gonna be a long slog through the Lt. ranks to M2 stuff.

M1 Hunter has more armor than M1 viking, Both that and M1 thunder rank at WO4 IIRC.

Yep , score padding. See it all the time, even in Battle reports posted in the forum.

forget twins, go richo.

I see nothing"current" in the rules against parkour. It is not sabotage, and it does not exploit any known bugs. The only time it could be considered sabotage is if you cooperate with "enemy" team players to perform parkour moves during TDM, CTF,CP. Find me a passage in the rules that prohibits Parkour during TDM,CTF,CP play with your own team players. In regular DM it is already conceded you can ally /cooperate with enemy. Isee you have been around a while, but I don't see parkour mentioned or implied anywhere as against the "rules". "2.1.5. Any acts or omissions aimed at creating obstructions for the team where the User is a member, including in CTF, TDM and CP modes, fighting against the team of which you are a member, doing harm to/ destruction of an ally's tank, fighting in interests of the opponent’s team, as well as the conspiracy with the enemy, sabotage;" Do you perhaps have the wording of any future game rules or when they will go in into effect?

Good topic post. Crystal boxes were a nice distraction and a little extra game money wasn't bad. The game is worse now when a gold box drops , everybody stops fighting and the game is just lost till it lands. I won't be surprised if gold boxes go the same way as crystal boxes. Any money falling out the sky means less profits.

Not sure what I got , I got a little more than 50 each for 35 points. maybe 100 repair :)

One thing not mentioned about buying "stuff", particularly hulls, If you tend to have a "slow" internet connection or one that often does or lags that only barely lets you play- I would go with buying heavier M+ hulls - (Viking or better) IMO -Titan is best. The smaller hulls and faster/unstable hull/weapon packages really demand a good connection, so you can dodge in and out/shoot and scoot and react to jumping, recoil, and bounces better.. With a slower connection it is better to be more ponderous(where lag and motion doesn't affect you as much) and heavier armored so you can take hits, perhaps playing defense more than offence. too.

Dem Russkies be nutz, playin dis game. :)

What was the question? For me the day 6 question is "How is the chance of gold boxes calculated?"

Don't think on today, think of tomorrow. Where do you want to go? No matter , don't buy anything till it is 50% off for either a hull or turret. If you don't have the rank to do such a deal at the moment wait for it to come around again. Only buy anything you want when there is a deal for it. Bide your time till then, and gain rank.

Yes , the "how to reduce lag guide" is the best. Thanks for posting that, However it does not mention the extras of reducing your game screen size after going to full screen mode. It needs to be revised to account for these extra steps that help too.

Other things, 1. minimize flash adds on per guides ,2. only have Tanki page running on browser, 3. go full screen. 4.However note at full screen reduce your game screen(cmd -) - this really helps too A way to check if you got the game running for at least to get credit for kills , is run over a box, if you don't get it , you prolly won't get credit for kills either. Happens to me every day. do all the above steps

It is related to lag and ping. Also note that if you can't pick up boxes , you generally won't get credit for kills during that time either. So get your stuff in the green or at least yellow, till when you can finally pick up boxes. I have lost hundred's of kills to this "bug" ; actually it is just bad lag and ping , not the fault of the game mostly. I say mostly because lag and ping do seem to get slightly worse on crowded(full) servers besides a slow connection speed. Follow the game guide for reducing lag and minimizing flash add-ons, And only have Tanki online page open on your browser, etc., to increase your server/connection -ping/mps speed. Go full screen, And then shrink your game screen(cmd -) that REALLY helps too.

Rail is irritating because it seems to have a "cone" area of hitting. I don't mind people who aim and hit your tank with a railgun , but when their aim is off by 10 degrees or a short tank length, they should friggin miss.

As sorta mentioned above, lag can cause you to not see a-lot of rico shots, along with other types too, even if you game appears to be running smoothly, lag is still there and gets better and/or worse every second, to an extent.

Do others notice this ? Ricochet seems to inflict more damage on shots that ricochet one or more times, and the more bounces the more power. It may just be me , but I used richo because i like trying for really interesting,obtuse shots, and those shots seems to do more damage at times than straight shots at the same target.

The speed of a Titan means it can used in offensive battles/modes. A Mammoth has to sit on def. A Titan can also defend when needed. I take the extra speed of Titan, over the extra armor of the Mammoth.

I can hit good with Smoky at extreme ranges , but the damage seems very low. Using M1

Reasons 2,4,and 5. Too many online games are moving away from giving anything just for playing. Free players are important as they expand the player base and they if interested they do spend $, probably in aggregate more than big spenders. Bring back crystal boxes or be ready to have few new players slogging through the game, eventually reducing the game to big spenders and clans. The game will die if that happens.
