This are good updates, both of them, two thumbs up. See, Tanki you are doing right this time and everyone is happy with it. Players don't against you or take you advantage. When you do something good, just like this one, everyone is saying good and nice. We don't get more crystals or XP from these updates; what we have is that we can try the paint on our tanks like trying clothes but everyone is happy. Please do something good to players. Don't mess up the game you created. Again, these updates are really good.

Yes, I know. Any update most recently is to make players tend to buy crystals.

The CP update will only make the win/lose totally randomise in accordance with the situation in less than 30 seconds before the end of the match, unless one of the teams is giving up. Once you play, you will find out.

Simply speaking, in the future, the better team in CP (better skills, better equipment, better team works, better tactics) will win by a smaller margin that leads to smaller share of the battle fund (crystals). Clever update to reduce crystals gained by better players. Guys, prepare to buy crystals.

When did they do this? No one has mentioned it. I think I need to clean the dust of my Smoky and ready for some fun in X'mas.

I prefer they lied to us; there is actually no such change. I am afraid they will mess it up. "Paints" is the only part that hasn't been ruined. It looks like it is not anymore.

Is there a new Smoky ? Are they going to revise the Smoky again ? Boosting or nerfing it or messing it up ? I have changed from Smoky to Isida when they messed it up at around the mid-2015. Let's see would I go back to use it if there is a good new one. However, the first thing is that I hope they won't do something stupid on the "changes in paints".

Don't be day dreaming. From what Tanki has been doing since last x'mas, it can be expected that we will probably have 25% - 40% off on everything in the garage but not apply to product kits. MU sale may be similar to that we had last weekend: 25% off MU and 50% off speed up. Crystal sale might be good: 50% off on the original price, i.e. 2x without DCC; 3x with DCC, becasue they are expecting us to buy lots of crystyals for the items and MU. Don't think too positive, you will be disappointed. I am telling myself the sale will be 25% including MU. Crystal could be 25% off. At lease I might feel better when thay announce it.

I encountered this before, I didn't think about it was hacking at that time. I thought I saw it wrongly: hey, that tank "switched on" 3 drugs at the same time?! I must be wrong, he might pick up some on the ground. I just saw it wrongly. Now, your post proved that I didn't see it wrongly, but just I was a bit stupid; I didn't think about hacking. Do you think Tanki will take care of this? I don't think so. I can see the cheating/hacking activities are becoming worse these days.

You and I know that it is not going to happen; otherwise, who is going to buy drugs ? Those cheaters might have a mission to make the regular players to feel that their tank is not good enough or they are not using enough drugs in battless then pour in money to buy crystals for MU and drugs.

Congratulations ! At least you won't get +0.005 more damage with 2 levels of MU. What a nice discount ! LOL ! I suggest we may consider to go out for a good movie or do gethering with our family or friends or go for a nice meal. Anything is better than sitting in front the monitor to MU 0.01 for our tank's damage . Have a nice weekend.

I have exactly the same thought when I first saw the announcement. The present sale doesn't help. e.g. the MU is 1000, speed up = 50% = 500. 25% off MU = 750, 50% off speed up = 250. If you do the speed up right after you do the MU, you will need to pay 750+250=1000 = same amount. If you wait for a while then do the speed up that only help you a bit, and you still need to wait but may be not that long. If you do the speed up nearly the end of the MU, e.g. last 30min of a 5 hr MU, yes, the speed up fee is small but you still have to wait for long, that is not much help. This so-call sale is a gimmick to make you feel "Yeah, finally there is a MU sale, lets do it !" and pour in your crystals and, may be, real money. I don't against MU, but think clear and make sure are you really needing that particluar step on that particular equipment. Before you press the button, ask yourself: does it worth?. And make sure you won't over spending ---> you will need to ask you mom to buy you crystals again and again. Please MU wisely. Happy (hopefully) gaming.

It is strange....how come there is no such achievement in our profiles likes "Buyer: Spent $100" ; "Good buyer: Spent $500" ; "Big spender: Spent $1000" ..... "Who Whats to be a Millionaire" ..... and the last one "The Six Million Dollar Man".

V-Log ep69: "Hey, tankers. I know you all happy with the new micro-update system. Don't forget to ask your mommy to buy tonnes of crystals before you go to bed tonight.....bla bla bla bla bla......."

Yes, this is their tactic: to make us spend faster and more crystals...then...what? BUY...mom, where is your credit card. About the increasing power of short-range turrets to favor lower-ranking players, beside OP Firebird in the earlier time this year, the OP of Twins is another ridiculous. If you have skills that is nice but you actually don't really need with Twins. Just put a piece of brick on your spacebar and drive your tank and that is. Don't tell me with skills you can do this or that with Twins. The thing is you don't need skills to use Twins and still and easily kill, get high score and more crystals. I something just leave the battle if I see there are more than two Twins in either my or opponent side running around. I start considering using twins is a kind of cheating (yes, I know I am a bit too much) because it is set to be OP. My friend never used Twins, except he tried for a while at the beginning with a M0, because he said it is for kids but he finally threw in money to buy a M1 not long after they OP the Twins. He then said he is enough for those non-stop shooting OP things slaughtering him. At the end, he bought one with real money for fighting back. This game was once a good one but now I can say it is ruined, mainly because of highly unbalancing, pay-to-win, crazy druggers (this is a pay-to-win), too early unlock equipment from buying kits (i don't against product kits, but the equipment shouldn't be unlocked too early. Max 2 ranks lower),and cheaters (I don't think they are really doing something. I realised there are more cheating activity most recently). Anyway, I know my day in Tanki is counting. I wish I can stay at least until X'mas and see if there is some good sale that helps and worth to move on to next year. Happy (hopefully) gaming everyone.

It is nice that you have a plan. I agree that to pay $20 for some good games is also nice. About the kit with Isida you mentioned: I think you are referring the Osaka kit, right? It contains Isida M2 & Hunter M1. It is a nice kit and Isida M2 is really a good one. It kills and heals ;) . There is another Isida kit that you may want to consider. It is the Stinger kit with Isida and Hornet both in M2 and Fracture paint, available at WO4. But this one is way more expansive 100k+. Just in case you haven't checked it out yet. Here is the list of all the product kits with the available rank: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=181748

Yes, at least it is what we have in N.America (USA & Canada). With a DCC you will get 90,000 crystals for USD 20. I did spend USD4 for 12000 crystals (with DCC), or more when combined with special crystal sale, a few times to top up my crystals when I needed to buy something in a sale. Good deals. I then played the battles to earn crystals to MU the items. It is now, however, another story after the latest update. P.S. You may try, if you want, to wait for a bit to see if there is a crystal sale on the Black Friday and the X'mas (I have no idea would there be or not, just guessing). But you have to take a risk because you may not lucky enough to receive a DCC on the sale day (usually the sale only last for 24hr). Most of the time the crystal sale is not as good as you have (only) a DCC but it would be pretty good if you have both DCC and the sale at the same tiime. The only question is: are you sure to put money on this game?

You are right. If that is transferring, those kids who ask their parents to pay, with e.g. credit card, for them should be prohibited or banned.

There is no transferring in the game. You may use SMS payment, just type in his account name with 1 million crystals (or equivalent amount of money) and that is. Nothing in the game is transferred; only teh money from your pocket is transferred. It just likes some kids ask their parents to do the similar thing with credit cards, mobile payments, SMS payment, prepaycard etc. If this is transferring, please tell those kids to stop paying Tanki from their parents pockets until they can do it by themselves, or just simply block their accounts.

I can answer for him. He deeply believes what he is saying as long as he is a staff of Tanki. He can even say $100,000 is not a big deal, as long as you pay tanki.

Yes, I know. My day in Tanki is close to the end; the only question is when.

I am talking about with or without spending real money, not the price of the crystals. DO NOT diverge our attention. This technique won't work on me, and many players here. Let me repeat it: Before this update, I, and many players, can able to do MU on the tanks to fit the use without buying crystals. If you buy crystals, yo can do it faster and better, but now it is impossible to do the same thing without spending real money.

It is now impossible to do a good-enough upgrade without buying crystals / premium account. We can still do some MUs but, for a newly aquired equipment, a maximum is around 10 to 15 out of 50 if we play normally (without putting real money, without catching lots of gold boxes every day, without all the other players leave right before the end of 60 min matches so that you get all the crystals, etc.), in the cases of modifications below M3. This is for maintaining one turret and one hull at a time. If you want more turrets and hulls, you may only MU 5 to 10 steps. I really don't know how to continue to play this game now. My original plan, the crystals I saved up, the "auxiliary" turrets and hulls I want to maintain along with my main combo, the paints I haven't done much MU, are now totally messed up. I haven't had any M3 yet and I know that I will struggle a lot on the way to M3.

NVM ;) I believe you don't see the M2 is because of you have reached the rank for M3. With the update few months ago, we now don't need to go through all modifications; e.g. once you reach the rank for M3, you may directly get it, even you don't have M1 and M2. Therefore, because they skip M2 for you and you may directly get M3, no matter you have or you don't have a fully upgraded M1, there is no way to buy M2 now. This is the tricky part: a fully upgraded M1 won't help you to get the M3 and you cannot go back for the M2. :(

In plain English, the two soultions are: 1. Use as many supplies as you can then buy new supplies. Money Money. 2. Buy new turret. Money Money. These give one conclusion: Pay Tanki.
