Hunter is the most versatile hull. You get it free at M0. Do not buy any alterations until you are no longer in the "saving crystals" mindset. As for my turret choices Twins Rico and Fire are each very good for players who cant afford more than a single turret. Rico served me from M0 through M2.

But it says "32 bit" in your Task Manager, right?

Lots of good advice here. I would add: Avoid protection modules since at low ranks they aren't effective and you have to buy them again at high ranks Kits - avoid them. You are wasting crystals on paints. Don't buy paints Catch sales when and where you can. But at low ranks sales are less important than limiting your purchases. Stick with Hunter MO. Don't even THINK about buying any other MO hull. Use Hunter or Hornet at M1. Have a lot of fun Go back to Hunter at M2 and M3. You need the compromise of speed and armor. Do not try to be a hull collector until you have managed to get your Hunter M3 upgraded to at least 15/20. Turrets - Twins or Rico until M3. MU no more than 3-5 steps. If you can spare the crystals get Firebird as a secondary short range turret

Flush me, J, Flush me! Naw..

Balance was a big problem. Red won most standard battles Blue won EVERY no-supply PRO battle

IMO the definition of Standard and PRO battles is beyond confused. For a long time, there were very few PRO battles, many of those were XP/BP. Then Battle button arrived, battle creation became a PRO only option and overnight PRO battles exploded, vastly outnumbering Standard ones. Tanki seemed to utter a collective 'oh snap' then pushed missions to Standard batles only. So... Battle creation - PRO only Missions - Standard only Where does Tanki want its player base? Any why all the restrictions??? As restrictions increase, fun decreases. Then there is Premium. Despite the recent buff with daily bonuses, Premium feels like a feature in need of a purpose.

BlackWasp for the win, LOL Bug report- Lost Temple - every time - EVERY TIME - I got close to the enemy flag the client froze. five of six enemy tanks were attacking me - mix of Striker, Isida, Freeze Client freeze behavior was the standard screen stop plus the staccato sound of turret rotation .

IMO Zero supply is like Assault Mode (I am a HUGE fan of Assault Mode). Botttom line, it's a seasonal occurrence. Perhaps it will be back next year. Did I mention, I love Assault Mode? I wasn't as big a fan of Zero Supply. But I give Tanki props for trying something different during a Holiday event. I hope they continue to bring special game features to future holidays. This is a GREAT way to spice up the game and stir up player interest in, well, actually playing.

I see your point, but Island 3x3 is a Pro battle, not standard. Fundamental game mechanics shouldn't be built around or restricted by Pro only offerings.

I can't / wont argue numbers, but many friends have left. Of the dozen pictured in my Generalissimo rank up party in September, maybe 2 are still active. :( .

I'm seeing something similar. Sometimes this, some other times I can fire but not steer. A few seconds later this seems to clear up, usually after I have been killed in the battle.

Just had a thought - we've been here before. Tanki Online was to be ported to Unity engine. Instead a new game was created. Anyone else think the HTML5 version of Tanki might also be spun off into a different game? Tanki-5? :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: .

Missions are out of alignment with the changes being made to the game. I stopped doing missions for awhile then started again. Not sure how long I will keep doing them. My problem is how much time per day I can play - that's not a Tanki problem. That's my problem. PRO battles are a lot more fun and rewarding. Again, you need to be able to invest some time in no-timer battles - those 100CP Polygon battles can get some big funds. And since they are usually no supply, you play with and against skill, not drugs. Is this worth 5k crys a month for the PRO pass - absolutely. So my approach right now is to play standard battles only long enough to farm missions, then switch to PRO battles for fun and better battle funds. + My spidey sense is telling me the June sale wil be 40%, so I'm saving crystals and starting to plan for Magnum and Module purchases. With the Daily Bonus, Premium is by far the best Crystal for your money deal, so I might get the 30 day Premium to further hoard crystals ahead of whatever sale June brings.

Are you sure? profile page says thefiringhand cannot be found.

What is your player account name? Cedric_debono looks unused or maybe an impostor.

Client freeze seems to be more common when I activate a supply while turning my hull.

On Friday and Saturday, even RU2 was quiet - during a sale event! O_O Game performance also seems to be at an all time low. Client freezes for me almost every game forcing me to restart. Server issues have been a problem during the event forcing several unplanned sever restarts. Lag is maddening - like this: - activate Zero supply, get ready to kick butt - LAAAAAAAAAG - my tank explodes, Zero supply cooldown resets

Is there a 64 bit Windows version? I am running 64 bit Windows 10 and have tried downloading through Chrome and Firefox but end up with a 32 bit client.

Striker seems to be a pro battle only turret.

I'll take your word for it. In US prices the loss of a few Premium days and half the supplies is balanced by the gold boxes and exclusive paint. That paint is pretty good looking. We can't know what it would be priced at in the garage but my guess based on looks would be that it's a six figure paint. PayPal or other payment specific bundles are always a bit better - they have to be. Again in US money - I'm looking at the next bundle - the $40USD one, which unlocks only after you buy the regular non-holiday $25 bundle. The $40 bundle only contains 140k crystals, but adds some gold boxes and plenty of supplies and Premium. But - 140k crystals feels like too little, regardless of what other goodies come in the bundle. Pass.

Right 214 is not 412 but Fire Rico Freeze and Freeze Rico Fire is. Damn. Still - I have to think custom modules would both clean up the garage and draw more crystals out of players. Seems like a win-win to me.

Finally on the market for some new modules. Like others, I'm not finding the ones I want. In general, for Standard battles, I want: Hammer Ricochet Firebird *doesnt exist For Poly CP (Pro battles, usually), I want Striker Magnum Firebird *also doesn't exist For *specialty long range maps like Lost Temple, Highways, and Brest, I need Shaft Railgun Magnum *of course this doesn't exist either Now that Tanki has 13 turrets, making every triple combination available with the current module mechanics is not possible. I get that. It's almost two thousand modules if I have my math right (13*12*11 = 1716 :o). At M3 prices, 250k crystals, 125k if we ever get another 50% sale PLUS expensive MUs - I just can't/won't compromise on a module that's 'almost' right. This inevitably leads me to conclude that Tanki must rework how modules are packaged and sold. Custom triple modules are one way to solve this - when you purchase the module you pick your protections and afterward they CANNOT be changed. This leaves Tanki open to balance changes causing players to buy more modules, same as today. The custom option simply declutters the growing list of modules for sale in the garage. IMO it's a must - it benefits both the game layout and players.

client connection is working now but everything is super slow - I'm sure that will improve in a few minutes

all servers are bouncing now - so hopefully devs are on it

The problem is EN1 server Tried the above cache clear - then tried uninstalling - the client, no luck loading Then tried browser - doesn't load there either. Then used browser to change server to EN2 - WORKS!!! How can we change the server in the client like we can in the browser URL?
