That is nice to know. What irritated me though that someone was posting his results dominating low ranks with his alt account. If everybody is fine, then there is no problem by definition, but when I want a challenge, I join a battle where high ranks play openly. It is a bigger challenge than that of an alt account because those would have M2 and M3 and I only (now) have M1, in addition to being experience about five times more.

Unless he plays in big maps and does long-range. The thunder range is twice that of the hammer.

I think the gold box part is irrelevant. If someone joins a battle, he/she/it should play honestly for the duration he/she/it's there until he/she/it leaves for whatever reason. Although I don't know how ethical or whether it is sabotage of not if whoever gets the gold box leaves immediately. In a few battles I was in, I saw whoever gets the gold box gets abused with the F-word and other words. I have only caught two gold boxes. Once I was given the F-word, and once I did not pay attention, so I do not know if I got it. My son gets the F-word at least sometimes when he catches the gold box, so maybe it is good to leave immediately.

Thank you. I reported it. We will see what the mods say. If they complain about the title, I'll change it. :)

I have published my first episode in the series Tanki Online: A Jerk Named ... Tanki Online: A Jerk Named ... Should I report it somewhere?

That was not a clue enough to you that it is not addressed to you?

When you have a Titan, you don't catch up to anybody or run away from anybody. You just sit there. Your hope is that if you get killed, you can get to where you want before the end of the battle.

The fact that you do not agree with my opinion does not make it unclear. I do not have stats. I go to maybe 10 battles a day. I rarely see multing or sabotage. This is my experience. It is not statistics for the entire company. I am sad that at your rank things become worse. That makes me not to look forward to ranking up. By the way, 100-200 +1's out of thousands of players is less than 1%. We need to pick it up.

Dear Loackie, TO is a company, and drugs is a way to get money. They need money to expand their business. We have a capitalist society nowadays don't act like it isn't. I am glad that you realize that. That was why I did not complain about drugging except for showing my displeasure with it. I also realize that they screwed up non-PRO battles for the same reason. I also know that they do not fight sabotage because it does not threaten their bottom line at least not yet, but they fight hacking and cheating because they do. There's different definitions of a "good time" for everybody. I like close battles/wins, and you like sportsmanship. Hmm, maybe a recruit WANTS a challenge? If I use my alt to fight them, am I "ruining their fun"? Also, being an alt does not guarantee a win, so if i lose, how can anyone tell if i am an alt? You don't seem to realize that players can at will go to battles that have people of higher ranks. You know that, so why do you act like you don't? You say, "Honestly, idk why this thread is still a thing." Nobody is forcing you to come here, so how is that hurting you? By the way, I did not take offense at what you and some other people said because they had substance in their post. Had your post had only impoliteness as you admitted, I would have taken offense. It also depends on my mood.

I think this is my cue to say: Elementary, my dear Watson. :P

Actually, your garage is not the big secret you think it is. :) If you want to know what's in it, you can go here: Remaine's Garage That said, ideally when crystals is not a concern, you should have everything--fully MUed. Since you have survived for the long run without the heavy hull, you may last longer without it. I do not know how your finances are running, but did you consider saving for the M3 Dictator? I think it may be a better addition to your garage than the M3 Hunter. Even if you get the Hunter, the Dictator with a few thousand crystals worth of MUs, you can get its protection to that of the Titan, and it is a lot faster. That should satisfy your moderate need of bulk. I know that you have ten times my experience, so please be patient and give me your opinion of what I have just said.

Drugging.

Perhaps you should have read the replies I replied to that way? They were rude, at least in my opinion. Sometimes, rude behavior and bad behavior in general makes me respond in kind. I am not proud of that, but that is who I am. Actually, in once case I was upset to the level I wanted the person to reply again so I could unload on him/her. Thank you for bringing this up.

I have just explained my point of view about. I agree with most of what you are saying. I actually have a bigger problem with drug addicts, but unfortunately TO promotes that. That is why they give you daily garage junk gifts. An M0 drugged tank is no less capable than an M3 tank. When everyone and their dog on a team drug heavily, the game is ruined. I am telling you that I have never activated a supply so far. I got two gold boxes so far, and one time I had such low health if someone sneezed the other way I'd be destroyed, but I did not activate a healing kit. I would rather leave the freaking battle. Anyone can gobble down drugs and kill people. Going back to the case where I left a DM because the other two people had seriously lower experience, I will tell you that I went to the battle, but I found it too easy. I was at a much lower rank. I might have been some form of a sergeant and they were privates or one rank higher. At their rank then, you are better off learning skills alone in a private battle. (They were free then.) I think I was being fair. Maybe I was wrong. That is still debatable. I am not claiming not being able to err, but I would not have put myself in their shoes. I did not have much experience myself to be able to teach anyone anyway. I was just noticeably ahead of them. So, I do not think your argument stands. Now, let's forget about me, you, my friends who invited me to a battle. I am here promoting one thing: "Do not ruin other people's experience." That sometimes includes alt accounts (especially for braggers), drugging, sabotage. Yesterday, someone on my team would flip me whenever he passed by me. I did not do anything to him/her/it, not even unintentionally. I might have killed someone he/she/it wanted to kill, but that is it, but he would leave the battle and just try to flip me. He once flipped me and pushed me into the self-destruct zone. That is criminal whatever it is called. I regretted not having been recording. In the future I will record and post a series on youtube "A Jerk Named ..." :) Thank you.

I am not trying to spoon feed anybody. My ethical concern is that you should not ruin other people's experience. If you know how (not) to do that, then knock yourself out. Some people don't play easy. In some cases, like in a game for privates and recruits, if you play in your sleep, you are still superior to them. I hope that clarified any misunderstanding.

We are talking about the first two or three steps when that is deeply discounted. :)

Maybe this is addressed to sniping experts or people with reasonable experience there, but, if that was the case, they should already know it. If it is addressed to the general public, I think an introduction is in order, so the readership can connect with what you are saying rather than take your word for it as an expert on the subject. If you think this is a worthy comment, please consider refining your article.

I prefer the standoff. :) Anyway, this is pretty intuitive, but how can you communicate it with random players that might have never met on one side before?

Mafioza's comment is hilarious, but true.

Nice review, but I wouldn't be caught dead, so to speak, using a hammer.

The M2 Firebird is about as powerful as an M3 Freeze or Isida (save the healing), so it is a good choice. The M2 Shaft is a lot more powerful than M1 Shaft, so it is a good choice too. With all dure respect, I do not think it is a good choice to go with a new mid-range turret unless you seriously want to change your playing style.

You gave advice to a person higher than your rank that I am capable of giving at my much lower rank, so I am wondering why he asked for it?

That's what I am doing, but that does not make it right. Today, my son created a new account to help his friend whose account got stolen and had to start from scratch. After he ranked up to a private, I asked him not to fight recruits or those who seem genuine low ranks and take it easy in general, and he followed my instructions. You need to do your part to make sure that you are not ruining other people's game just because you can or you simply don't care or you think the sun rises out of your backside. Believe me it doesn't.

You must have come late. Would you say that if Richard the Lion's Heart gave you a sword even superior to his and called you to a duel to death? :P
