I think this, combined with the random weekend sale marks the fact that the developers know this is the end of Tanki Online. I'm guessing the developers have finally understood the consequences of their greed, and are now trying anything to hold on to the small number of players who continue to be loyal to this game. I remember one time when the servers were so full we were not even able to create a battle. Ironically, now the game has decided to merge all the EU and RU servers and there still isn't enough players in the servers, hence we are going to have 'unified battle lists'. This game had great potential, yet it was wasted simply to increase the cash flow for a short period of time. Now Tanki cannot and will not be great ever again :(

Sneak Peek of Cedric's new job! Best of luck in the future xD

R.I.P Sir, you will be missed :(

From what i've seen on the game just about every player hates this update and many are considering to leave the game, not very good for a game investing heavily for a new version (Tanki X). First of all the constant need to hold the R key to view protections makes it incredibly difficult for players to rotate the turret whilst moving. Secondly, I for sure find the prices created after this update very unreasonable and this too puts low ranked players in a difficult. Thirdly, many experienced players have taken the time to memorise each and every protection (including the percentages) of each paint. If Tanki does remain with this inconvenient update, the best thing it can do is to perhaps colour code the modules to specific turrets as using the symbols makes it very difficult to find a module. The reason for this update is clear to everyone; MONEY. We all know Tanki is losing customers at a rapid rate (evidently server once at 80,000 players daily has dropped to about 40,000), this is as a result of very bad updates and poor customer satisfaction (e.g. crashing servers every 20-30 minutes). I recommend if you want to hold on to very few number of customers you have, remove this update immediately, fix the lag issue and begin to develop a more reasonable update which will help the game earn sufficient fund to survive but to keep the players happy.
