So, finished a map, filmed it, it won't render well in TTT. Going to try re-shooting it with a different method. I went ahead and posted it on my channel for Map Maker Club members to watch. If you're a member, you can see the link there. It's not pretty. Timing is good but video is not. For the rest of world, going to try to re-film it in a very different way, hopefully it gets around the TTT engine issues. Take away here is, ambition is good, knowledge is good, but even then, you don't always get what you want and need.

Sooooo, did I miss something in the last few days regarding shaft? Like since New Years? I ask only because my last few days of game play I've been racking up kills and less deaths, thus overall, better overall K/D in a manner far removed from the norm. I went back and looked at patch updates for shaft and I found none in the last update. No joke, I've been running an assembly line in a lot of games in terms of kills (okay, not "mowing" everyone down, but much higher kill counts) these last 4 or 5 days. It's like I can one shot hulls again, like it should be, and I'm scratching my head over what is different. I'm not drugging and I can't say I'm been surrounded by dictators OD'ing me, so I'm a little confused to why the increase in performance lately. Like I said too, it's not an increase in hits (it's a shaft, in scope you miss very little) and thus damage, it's true one shots, medium hulls, EVEN a mammy or two. Mammy had to be a in a bad place or struck maybe and I didn't see them, but the mediums, clean hit, as God intended. No complaints, just trying to figure out why the change.

Christmas 2021 It's the most wonderful time of the year, and that means snow, and particularly, snowflakes this year. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year! Enjoy.

Okay, so, since this place has gotten awful quiet, and I've been a little more inclined to make maps again (not that I wasn't, just time), I'm proposing something. I want to make a map based upon requests. People submit ideas, I add them each to a poll, those in turn get voted on, the one with the most votes wins, I make it, or if any other map makers are available and interested, we do a collab, but I'll do it if necessary. So c'mon let's get some ideas going.

Urban Notes: Thoughts:

So I have used Brutus in the past, but I've found that just as I spot enemies in the distance with the little floaty drony, I'm fairly certain it gives me away too, and if anyone needs to hide, it's me, so I'm torn between using it or not. I wish Brutus gave the old bonus back with nothing activated, that was useful to me sometimes, especially in Juggernaut. But hey, why let an opportunity to get people to spend, even after selling something that clearly DIDN'T use drugs, go by, right? They had to milk it, even if it was a little on the light side. I won't lie though, I got used to it for a bit, scoring A LOT higher, but it's crutch. I don't want to get used to having it, if they change mechanics again one day and somehow it uses batteries, I'd be worse off. Better to always play the way I preach, as you can plainly see, even your gear is no guarantee anymore. (PS: I only pick up boxes, I literally have all drugs turned off in my menu options, I can't use them, except mines, I use those but they're not drugs.)

With the exception of Isida, all those are one, technically possible, and two, with the exception of freeze, actually DO EXIST in some form or another, be it ammo or actually weapons platform. There is not a TANK electrical weapon anywhere, and CERTAINLY no light, medium, r heavy hulls on the PLANET of offensive weapons systems, and even then, hover craft are transport, not even defensive. Its just stupid, flat out stupid. Ridiculously stupid. No other word for it but stupid. The idea is, the decision to let it in the game is, and the notion that it somehow ADDS to game play is.

Tanki has nothing to o with armored combat any more. Nothing. It is a hollow shell of its past glory. As an American player, I am shocked that Russians, with their long and storied pride for armor, have continued to support and play this game as it has been turned into a cartoon of what it was. Change is normal, but evolution of the tech, of the maps, of the equipment should always live inside the paradigms of what made the game great. FLYING TANKS and and Sci-Fi bug zapping turrets are just but acceptable game play options. Tanki lacks the grit and grime feel of what made it great before. I hope Tanki wakes up and realizes that if they don't do something soon, the game is going to drift into sci-fi gaming, not armored combat, and then they'll be a cheap version of simulators that don't use micro economies, but full on paid software, and they won't compete. Sure, they'll string lots of folks along for years, but it might be too late already. You've tried to top something that didn't need it, and there are few, if anymore magic rabbits to pull from the hat. It's just a damn shame what happened and what was done to this game.

Been a little while, but yeah, I can't help myself.... WHAT A TOTAL COMPLETE HEAPING STINKING FOUL PILE of C%4P this PATCH is. Formalities first, pony tail is a complete and total <insert what you want here>...ker and hates any strategic game play that doesn't involve rushing and copious amounts of drug use (which of course raising the bottom line). It's no secret he hates studious and patient campers and if he could, he'd ban them, all of them. Tanki is a joke now. Floating tanks, alien turrets, and fairy power augments, not to mention force multiplier drones that make no sense. Obvious second. Shaft is a sniper, it was meant to one shot, it should, period, end of discussion, it's not built for anything else. It's there to take all the wind out of the enemies sails by being used carefully, at the right time, against the right tank, to change the course of the game play. pony tail wants you to run around now with your shaft 24/7, barely scoping a shot, and, AND, mind you, have you enter the fray with the rest of them in order to even hope of scoring points and etc, nevermind the fact you're really kind of useless in any other role than sniper. 10 second reload is unacceptable. If, IF, only IF, you wer to enter a 7 minute game, not have to phase in, and could simply hold down space and fire the moment it was completely charged, you could only get 42 shots off. 15 minutes battle, 90. We all know that's BS. The reality is maybe 33% of that number between spawning, searching, zooming, tracking, firing, reloading, repeat, IF YOU'RE lucky. 30 shots in a 15 minutes battle where nearly EVERY hull has Sniper protection and damage gets nerfed and reload too? How about a all might F U to Tanki? This is done consciously, without any real thought given to how it plays out for shafts. This appeasement to the little prick Hopper buyers who, as of late, were being blown out of the sky with their double speed and hop by the only turrets that could mitigate such an attack, and only sometimes. I've warned you all, Tanki is trying to find a final nerf for Shafts. Pony tail boy would love to see them gone, the only thing relatively close to its damage being, dump dump, duuuuhhhhh, DOUBLE DAMAGE, but, I digress. Shaft was fine, just as it was, and just barely too. Every time shaft players settle into a comfortable routine of use, function, and resignation, mind you, our great turret gets maligned. It makes it that player choose to move away from it. Why? Statistics, always stats. Lots of people put money into them. If you want to nerf it, you have to justify it. Prove no one plays with it and the few that do show poor stats and it doesn't contribute to the game anymore. He is trying to kill off your turret people, flat out. To be fair, we should all see it now, shafts will be relegated to nothing or useless, not like it hasn't been constantly nerfed for the last 3 years. I hope and wish nothing but bad things upon all responsible for this, and really, I can't believe the pettiness that goes on and on over this turret to this day. I you don't agree, you haven't played long enough. Change is to be expected, but to be defrauded of your time, effort, and money, well that's another matter entirely.

Alternativa Editor is still very much alive btw. The TTT is the problem, as it is Flash Based (hope you DIDN'T uninstall Flash).

Sad, just sad. The pony tailed loser is going to ruin this game. Someone, pay attention, he is turning it into mighty morphine power rangers, it's, it's, ... I can't say it, I'll get banned, but this needs to end, this is isn't about Tanks anymore. Even future tanks. It's turning into LOL or Warcraft, it's stupid, magic drones, augments, electro turrets and my "deathray" shaft that can beam armor repair, c'mon people, shafters especially, should be enraged over this.

An ancient one. It had terrible physics in my opinion. That said, none of the TTTs have the proper relatable current physics. They haven't released one in ages, and the third party ones out there don't match well to the current state.

See you touch upon an important point. This is the problem. Turrets were presented, SOLD, and promoted for certain roles. Shafts are snipers, PERIOD, I DON'T CARE what that empty headed dev thinks about it. I was presented a product, I bought it, for the reasons they said. I've spent my money on it, now I get to use it, period, end of story, end of discussion. Shafts are special turrets, they aren't made for general assaults and brawls. And yes, Just so you know, damage from a full charge should destroy a Viking, and without checking, believe a Dictator, and it was stated that was intentional (albeit only to keep shaft players from traveling to Russia and going postal in their offices). If they could have it their way, shaft would be removed and the rabbit eared Guass would be the end all of sniping in this game. Same goes for my hull for instances. I was told it would do xyz. GREAT, I like XYZ, I think I'll sink my crystals and time into it. You don't get to just willy nilly yank the rug out from under players because some people don't like it. One major change okay, after roll out, balancing, okay, fine, MAYBE a minor tweak later. They severely changed Hornet OD not long after it's release, and now this??? No, you don't get to screw players out of their expectations that the game has already set.

To be fair, Shafts are supposed to kill a medium tank in one shot, lets not forget, its a tank killer. Magnum is not in my list, but since you bring it up, not that I have ANY love for that monstrosity, 50m AP is not useful for Magnum. Now as for guaranteed crits, that's great except for protections against the turret you sport. Half of Crit is half of Crit. I see your point, it's Crit, but again, low rate of fire turrets for 7 seconds of crit damage is not very useful, 6 shots for arcade on a aug'ed Shaft with triple shot, and Guass maybe 3? Depending on the augment and drone Rail is using, it might be a worth while, but not even that much. I don't know, the crit for 7 seconds just seems a poor trade for the AP option. If nothing else, make the AP for team mates near the hull (50m?) take affect for them too, and the hull itself keeps it's AP status for a longer period. Give the user something at least out of the deal more meaningful.

I don't see it. 50 meters? Shafts, Guass, Stryker, or Rail, any ranged turret that capitalizes on distance for it's effective use, has no benefit, other than to see a few outlines here and there, but the real bang for the buck was the AP. Light hull, not so sturdy, so not a mega threat, but useful for neutralizing large groups of drugged enemies and enemies with protections vs the majority of your team. Not to mention the ability to reach out and touch titan protection at range. ANYTHING range related in this game is constantly getting attacked by devs. Tanki is turning into the DnD of armored combat, it's practically in your face melee. Ranged combat does less damage EXCEPT with range turrets. Range turrets have to carefully pick and choose targets, they're moving, at distance, and most require long recharges. 1000m was not getting "abused". I was lucky to capitalize on three affected units in the time it lasted, and that was the rarer moment, more like two. Turtling defenders with titans and mammoths can barely be dislodged without the function. At least let ranged turrets contribute to the team's push moving into a base, even if the player will only see a modest benefit to their own play. I use the hull exactly for the value it's overdrive provided. Now I'm left with a hull I fully upgraded and does precious little for me now other than get me to my next aiming point quickly. Everyone has an overdrive, and I get to see outlines from a distance instead. I'm sorry, but no one can justify this change. Like I said, anyone, please, fix this, it's ridiculous.

So repeat of my complaint in Hornet, Um, seriously, that wasn't a nerf to hornet overdrive, it was removal. It's useless for ranged turrets. It went from a 1000m to 50m, that's just plain unacceptable. It's like the hull has no overdrive now. The staff must have been struck over the head with a stupid stick the day the made changes. This overdrive is WORTHLESS now. Someone at Tanki, anyone, the janitor, I don't care, fix this, make this right again.

I hope this is the place to complain, so here goes... Dear Hazel and Co., have to lost your minds? I mean seriously, for real, no joke, none, zero, no metaphors here, no exaggeration. First you nerfed Hornets ability to have AP vs all targets and went on to limiting it to some in view, which was a huge selling point for it, and one of the few equalizers on the map for dealing with 'roided out buyer junkies. Now you pretend to reduce the range of it to 50 meters, FROM ITS" 1000 original, essentially turning it into a melee tool to be used when you have a great many number near you? Negates the power of it almost entirely. I played with it this evening and it is clear that Hornet's overdrive is now useless, completely. Any ranged turret that used the overdrive in conjunction has basically lost its overdrive. I don't even claim to nary a guess where this idea came from, only that it's was so stupid, so onerous, so completely unacceptable that even with all my opinions and the mountains of complaints I have with Tanki nowadays, this one would have never occurred to me. Hornet is useless now.

Speechless, tanki has lost it's mind. Laser energy heal up to armored vehicles. Nanobots and isida was barely acceptable. T/his is completely stupid. Anyone playing with this mod is a loser, period. Don't feed the fire people. Jumping tanks. "ice emitters", gumball machine electro turrets. Help draw the line people.

Ahh,, okay, I was wondering what was going on.

So in the last vlog, says equip a passive drone like Brutus and you will not consume batteries. I equip Brutus, head into battle, and sure enough, it consumes batteries. Is the update not in effect yet?

@MysticBlood Well, don't take your machine apart to stop spying, just stop the people who are spying. I'm so surprised so few people had anything to say. You're getting spied on and you don't care. Strange world we live in.

Announcement, Go join the mapmakers club on discord if you want to work on the club map. It's downloadable there. Take a base map and do your thing with it, that simple. It only has three rules to follow. You'll submit and I and the others will comment on it. I'll make a video of it too and feature it on my channel, and others might too, show casing your map. So hurry up, lets have some fun.
