It has been all to common a sight lately to be part of a match that there are an equal number of tanks on both sides, then half way through the match a chunk of one of the teams will disappear and it becomes a slaughter. Finding a good match anymore with the god forsaken Match Maker is like finding a unicorn. Having a decent match ruined because players are being booted, lagged, whatever out of the game is asinine. Why I bother posting this I dont know. Tanki doesnt care what we think. The point is, the devs need to stop wasting time on new turrets, hulls, etc that degrade the balance of the game and FIX THE GAME! Too much about has turned into a dumpster fire. Put some time into making the game fun again instead of a bloody frustration.

Obviously reading is not your strong suit. There has been jack $hit relating to wins/loses. All of the matches I play in save a few are pure trash. There is ZERO balance in the game anymore. How the F do people not see that??? With turrets like Magnum, Gauss, and a lesser extent Rail paired with a heavy hull there is little chance to play other turrets when they can just boost a repair kit and destroy you, even as you rattle off multiple volleys of rounds.

This just goes to show what a pile of garbage this game has become. You just need you pay enough to buy the latest equipment and you can slaughter on the battlefield by just mashing buttons. No skill required.

Up to 15 matches of pure garbage now. 1 I was on the "winning" side of. Zero balance or competition.

That makes sense. Several times today I would have a flag and be returning to base with it and there would be no support from anyone on my team. They would just let me be destroyed and either swoop in to take the flag or let it be returned so that they could just get more kills. I havent been able to put my finger on it, but the WAY people are playing has changed so much. It seems like there was a lot of teamwork that people engaged in that is totally missing now. Unless you know the players in your match you are just left to fend for yourself.

yeah, it really is. I started playing years back with my son. He stopped playing as well for a while because of computer problems. Now that I have tried it again I have recommended he not start playing again because it is so frustrating. He will have more fun on his Xbox anyway. The funny thing is that he used to spend a ton of money on this game. Sucks for the devs...

The funny thing is that so many of the players dont even get it. When you have one team full of legends and the other a mixed bag that is being curb stomped and raped all they say is "if you dont like it then leave". Then those same jackoffs complain when the number of accounts is so low. There is so little desire for competitive matches it is insane. Seriously, I got nothing. I have tried to give this a go, but holy f^&k this game is beyond terrible now. I am going to take a break and go get water boarded so that I can relax after enduring this puss filled blister on my ass that is Tankionline. The BRS?

9 battles now. Still utter garbage for gameplay

Just to toss another log on the fire. I have jumped into 7 battles in a row and each of them was an unmitigated dumpster fire. ZERO balance, just one team steamrolling the other. Of all the things that is causing people to quit this game, the total lack of competitiveness is one. It creates no interest or desire to log on again. I know I play a lot less. 8 battles now.

After I get some protection against Magnum I am thinking about getting the Berserk mod. Seems like it could be a wicked combo with the Viking OD.

It is not a case of must speak english, but a case of setting the servers up so that english speakers can play together. Learning Russian would be a waste of time. It would be useless to do so. Additionally, I know the whole idea of capitalism a mystery to Russia, but it is a good idea to give your clients what they want. It is clear this is a Russian game. It ignores the customer and does the opposite of what they want for short term gain. I have said it before and I stand by the idea that the devs are killing Tanki to push people to TankiX. All that is left for Tanki is to be used to squeeze whatever cash is left from the remaining customers and use it to test ideas for TankiX. Look, I love playing with people from all over the world. That was one of the draws for this game. It means nothing when most of the world cannot communicate with the bulk of the players they are paired with.

I think this question goes hand-in-hand with "Why does no one speak English anymore?" Most battles I am in everyone speaks Russian. It is impossible to communicate any strategy in that situation. Plus it is just annoying having no idea what anyone is saying. FWIW, Russian in the 8th most spoken language while English is 3rd. Change is needed on those servers...

I have Sledgehammer and it is only useful with the Hornet OD IMO

The long and short of it is it sounds like the best investment is in protections and not in drones or hulls. Is that a fair statement? Also, what the hell were they doing with Gauss? Looking at the parameters for it, it sure looks like Thunder is obsolete. Why would anyone buy Thunder when Gauss is superior in damn near every way?

So as I stockpile crystals do you have any recommendations on what I should invest in to make things go better? Protection against Magnum and Gauss seem to be in order. They have really taken over the game. I am going to keep saving until the next discounts weekend, but want to make a plan so that I can not be so miserable when I am put into matches with Legends.
