Question for Week #6 is out!

Dictator M4 XT and Smoky M4 XT with Synesthesia. I no longer use Dictator, but I still love it. I used it practically for 85% of my career. I only miss the XTs right now.

Approved. Edits: - just one extra "to" removed Wow, this was really confusing till the moment the names have been explained. Seems like the chapters are starting to have some link now, still I won't hide i am confused and curious about how will this pan out.

Approved. Edits: - just one minor fix in grammar. Your article does not meet the word limit of 400 words, but this time I will let it slight. The idea behind the article isn't bad. I do like the concept of transforming Tanki's history into a mythology tale, but definitely make the chapters longer next time.

Approved. Edits: - few minor grammar fixes. Nice, perhaps think about prolonging the chapters a bit and adding links to previous chapters. That would help a bit to those who need to be reminded about the plot.

I do not see how profanity improves your article to include it in the first place.

Well, it isn't the only or most important criteria, but unfortunately it is a handicap you yourself have to face just like everyone else. I do not require to have a guide that covers all the drones. If you cannot get them ypurself, try alternatives like ssking your friends or players on the forum.

That's a good point. Angeclown was proofreader to be exact, but I would accept that answer as well. As for the rewards, they won't be increased.

Hello tankers. We did not reach the 10 correct answers and since another question is behind the doors, we decided to award those who did answer right. Here are their names: @GuidoFawkes @Bydo @adhik123 @Given @P.4.R.K.O.U.R Congratulations to all of you. Crystals should be delivered within couple of days, possibly even today. Edit: Correct answers: Night-Sisters, Phoenix-Warbird, Seel, Nyx, Meliora All old or new nickname changes have been also accepted as correct.

Entering a single wrong name makes the whole answer wrong :)

There are many factors to count in. For example, how many supplies you have and how many you are willing to spend, if you have drones or alterations, etc. I personally still play daily, and from my experience Vulcan/heavy hull with Incidiary alt tends to be almost always in top of with lot of kills and experience. Hammer and Striker do also exceptionally well, and so does offensive Isida, Freeze and Firebird. All of them usually with Viking or Hunter. I basically named half of the turrets so as you see there are many answers to your question. Even other turrets and hulls can really do well, but it really depends on the player and the environment you are spawned to.

Hello there to a new question of the week that you thought will not be coming.

Question for Week #5 is out!

Hello there, tankers. Have you already congratulated all the precious women and girls you know? In the end, this is their day, so go ahead and do so if you haven't already. In celebration of this special day, we bring you this interview with our fellow Tanki ladies who work for and help Tanki on daily basis. So, let's dive right into it and introduce them to the public. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the three ladies we will interview and introduce today. Aleksandra_Nozhenko Tanki Occupation: Lead Community Manager of Alternativa Games Aleksandra is maybe not known that much in English community, but we all had a chance to learn about her a bit from the V-LOGs. She occupies a very important position in the company and definitely has a lot of experience behind her. Let's get to know her a bit better! Flex: Hello Aleksandra. Let's start by introducing you to the English community. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Aleksandra: Hey all, my name is Aleksandra Nozhenko and I am the Lead CM in the Alternativa Games company. Sometimes you could see me in the v-logs ;) My duties are to inform all the CMs on time about news from devs, to control the organization of different events, solving different issues and many many other things. Most of my time I spend working :) As you know the community events, questions etc never stop, so I have to work hard to provide players with help and joy. In my free time, I like doing sport, I visit Zumba classes, yoga and pilates, that helps me not to get crazy :) and dream to learn bachata dance, still can not find time for it... I also like to travel, but unfortunately can't afford to do it much, as I am always worried to leave communities without my control. I know, it sounds weird maybe, but I am feeling so much responsible for all of you, so can not let myself leave you for a long time. Flex: Second question. How did you learn about Tanki Online and became the community manager? Have you always pursued jobs in the gaming industry? Aleksandra: That is a long and interesting story. It seems to be, that it was destiny for me to work in Alternativa Games. I had a friend working here and she told me a few times about vacant job opportunities, but I was always abroad when she wrote to me about that. That time I was working in Turkey as a guest relation and later as a sales and marketing executive in the 5*hotel and when the end of the season came I went back to Russia, to Perm and my friend wrote to me again. This time I thought I should come for a job interview and see what will happen. The interview went well and a few days later I have got an offer from the company and started working as a support specialist. I can speak German, English, basic Turkish and love helping people, so HR was happy to get me to the company's team. While working in CS I learnt so much about the game itself, players etc, and this knowledge still helps me in my job life. After about 1.5 years I felt like I want to try and learn something new and when I found out there is a vacant position of Russian CM, I thought I can not miss that chance, had a job interview again and got that position, 1.5 later I became the Lead of community manager department. I never thought of working in the game industry before, but I am glad that my destiny brought me here To be honest, :) it is not even a job for me anymore, it became an integral part of my life. Flex: Lot of tankers consider Tanki Online a "boys" game and expect other players and employees to be solely males. Have you ever met someone who questioned you why you chose the gaming industry as a job? Aleksandra: Actually, I have seen some comments and had some discussions about it, but I really believe, that gender does not mean anything in job performance. Everything depends on your professional and personal skills. Btw I think girls are more responsible, stress-resistant and organized than males, no offence, boys ;) Flex: What is the thing you like the most about Tanki and your job? Aleksandra: The most thing I love in my job is that I can play Tanki Online at work and nobody will take it as something wrong :D I also love working with people and I have it here more than enough. And one more thing, in CM's job there is a flexible work schedule. I like that I do not have to wake up very early every day. I feel happy when some event we prepare is loved by players, etc. There are many positive things, can't remember all of them right now. Flex: What would be your advise to all the lady tankers playing this game? Aleksandra: I want to give just one advise. Be yourself, even if somebody does not like you, it does not mean you are bad, please do not change yourself just because not everyone likes you like that. It is impossible to be loved by everyone. Do not lose your personality! On one of the best holidays a year I would like to congratulate all the girls, women, mothers and grandmothers! Thank you for being the most beautiful and bright part of Tanki Online, for your smiles, for reminding our brutal male tankers on tenderness and love. Be happy and full of harmony :* Momma_Bear Tanki Occupation: Chat Moderator I think we can all agree that Momma_Bear is a well-known English Tanki helper who is kind and spends a lot of her time to keep things clean, friendly and organized in the chat. In the end, she is not regularly on the list of best helpers for nothing. Flex: Hello Momma_Bear. Good to have you here. Let's start with the obvious and introduce you to our tankers. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Momma_Bear: Hi Flexoo, nice to meet you! I’m someone who never expected to be answering questions here, that’s for sure. I’m a casual player who became a chat mod. I don’t share much personal info, but I can tell you about myself as a player. Playing Tanki at the end of the day after my kids went to sleep was a favorite indulgence for me! As new player I probably chatted too much in battle and had more fun meeting people than capping flags. Then I got bit by the rank up bug and couldn’t wait to reach Generalissimo, which at that time was the highest rank you could achieve. Along the way I made some friendships with other adults who played (and still play), and I looked out for a few favorite young players as best I could, living up to the meaning behind my nick. In short, I’m an adult who helps moderate as a hobby, something I do to give back to this game that has given me so many fun memories. Flex: How did you learn about Tanki? Did someone introduce you to the game? Momma_Bear: One of my sons and his friends were really into Tanki back in 2014. I remember hearing the sounds of flags being capped along with laughter and occasional yelling. I checked out what he was playing that day and reluctantly tried it. I remember I had just deleted Ninja Fishing, Clash of Clans, and Candy Crush from my phone, promising myself to be done with useless games, ha ha. Little did I know my real gaming adventure was just beginning. Flex: I am sure many tankers will automatically assume you represent the gentle gender. Are tankers curious why you joined a game that people often assume is typically "boyish" when you perform your chat moderation job? Momma_Bear: Yes, they are quite curious. In fact, some flat out refuse to believe I’m an adult female who loves the game. But the truth is that many adults play Tanki for the same reason I started- to see what their kids were up to and to play with them. I’m sure moms are in the minority among players, but we are out there, living out our competitive natures on the battle field. Flex: What is the thing that persuaded you to keep on playing this game and stay active to this moment. In other words, what you like the most about Tanki? Momma_Bear: As a helper, I don’t play nearly as much as I used to play, but I still love playing this game. I still feel the rush of adrenaline when I help my team win. I still feel the desire to play another game until I ‘end on a good note’ after my team loses. But the bottom line is, I’m sure I wouldn’t have stayed this many years if it weren’t for the relationships I’ve formed with other players and helpers. Tanki helpers give so much of their time and talents to help players have a better experience, and I’m honored to be a part of that team. Flex: Who will in your opinion win the Gender War? Momma_Bear: The average stars don’t lie- it’s looking really good for the women. :wub: Flex: What would be your piece of advice to all the Tanki ladies who strive to achieve big things in Tanki? Momma_Bear: My advice for women and girls who want to achieve big things in Tanki is to ignore the haters and be yourself. You may get some attention because of your gender, but none of that attention matters. If you’re a beast on the battlefield, enjoy your reputation as a strong player and encourage others along the way. If you’ve got an interesting perspective to share and have an understanding of the game, consider applying as a commentator. Tanki is a place where many talents can be displayed, so consider what you are good at and look for a way to contribute! And one safety tip for any player, male or female- remember to protect your reputation and your real identity online. (What kind of mom would I be if I didn’t throw in an online safety tip??) CooperO Tanki Occupation: Forum Administrator Coop is one of the most active high-ranked administrators in our community and someone I personally bother work with a lot. She is always organized and ready to help with practically every matter you try to throw at her. Flex: Hello Coop and thank you for accepting the invitation. For starters, please introduce yourself to the community and tell us a bit more about yourself. Coop: Hey Flex, thank you for the invitation! I go by the nickname CooperO and I've been playing TO for about 7 years now (time flies huh). Despite that fact, I'm not your typical gamer. TO is one of the few PC games I play and pretty much the only online game. Apart from playing the occasional battle, I enjoy a number of different sports such as cycling, horse riding, volleyball, yoga and snowboarding. Recently I discovered bouldering, which is a form of rock climbing where you do not use any ropes. That may sound dangerous, but the boulders don't go higher than 4.5 meters and there are thick mats to catch you when you fall. I like the challenge that it gives me and the fact that I have to put my creativity to good use. Speaking of which, I also like to get creative with wood, mostly to make functional objects. Flex: How did you find out about Tanki Online and what you liked about it that persuaded you to stay to this moment? Coop: I discovered Tanki after I saw my brother play the game. It looked pretty straightforward and fun, so I decided to create an account of my own. In the beginning we played together a lot and after some months I discovered the forum. I enjoyed reading the topics and partaking in various discussions, probably more so than actually playing the game. Then after about a year I joined a clan, which kept me active in-game due to clan trainings and tournaments, but also because it was fun messing around and playing with my clan mates. A few years ago, I became part of the forum moderation team, which was yet another thing that has kept me around to this day. Flex: Most players probably consider Tanki, and games in general, as something that only guys play. Do you or did you get into some funny or strange situations when people learn/t that you are a representative of the gentle sex? Coop: Strange no, but quite funny still. The general response from players that find out I'm a woman is full of surprise, up to the point where they make it sound like it's impossible for females to play an online game. Flex: Can tankers still find you playing the game? Who do you think will win the Gender war? Coop: Yes, they definitely can, but regularly I can't find the time to play for a few weeks in a row. And it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that I can more often be found on the forum. As for who's going to win the War, it may seem like the Ladies are going to win, but the gap between the Gentlemen and Ladies is small and the War has only just begun. I'm rooting for the Ladies though, because that's the paint I bought. Flex: What would be your message or advise to all the lady tankers out there? Coop: Looking for some cheesy aphorism, but nothing comes to mind. So I'll just end with: Make sure to have fun and try to treat the others tankers the way you'd like to be treated. And so, there you have it guys. Did you like learning more about our three Tanki's ladies? Is there anything you would like to ask them? Share your thoughts and comments below!

I only said to the person who asked me before that even if I considered kits as an option, he would still not have the rank for M3 equipment. But, to answer your question, no kits do not count.

Ah my bad, I am used to answering questions about guide theme possibilities I automatically assumed he asks about that x).... No, as said above only the turret aletrations that change the parameters, no XTs or shot effects.

I have no idea how would you write a guide about visual features like these as they do not affect the gameplay at all.

I will try to post them asap, but it really depends on how much time I will have and how many entries I will receive.

Here is an explanation of post editor that applies to PMs as well:http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?app=core&module=help&do=01&HID=15 First, you must upload the image to an image hosting website like Imgur and then just paste the link through the "Image" option.

No, in case you win. the modification you choose will not be MUd.

I have no idea. You can edit the entry until the end of the competition. You should be able to edit in the pictures. Might have been some internet issue on your end. I honestly do not know.

Yeap that might be a good idea.

Not at all. It's far better to ask rather than stay uninformed.
