I really like this Ultra skin for Gauss. I hope to get my hands on it. Developers must hurry up on finishing all the Legacy, Prime and Ultra skins. I want all collections complete. Like other players complain about as well, please fix and finish off the new HTML5 version of Tanki Online to make gameplay much better for all.

The two paints are very nice. The gold Alloy is my favourite. However, I would like an animated Riddler paint to suit my nickname and character.

Legacy skins should be available for all turrets. The only major difference with Legacy skins is that they need to be of low resolution. Prime would have a higher resolution and Ultra would have the highest level of details with as many polygons and resolution as possible. So skins would be low, medium and high categories. XT skins would be classified as medium resolution skins. Skins are needed for skin collectors and not needed for people that does not like them. Skins are just a visual item that players would have an opinion on them. HTML5 works very well. I have used it since it was released in its alpha stages and I keep on using it. I am no longer using Flash because it has limitations now, bugs and its falling behind. Like developers said in V-Log 249, Flash is like a sinking ship. You see a clip of the broken Titanic in this episode. However, I do agree with your comment above that HTML5 does have some few bugs lurking around so this new HTML5 version of Tanki Online must be polished. Just be patient. Developers are doing it, but they have many other ideas on their radar, so you will need to wait longer.

Here is a list of augments that I suggest are needed for making some turrets stronger and beneficial when facing difficult situations. Those augments would be quite powerful, so they are only suitable for Legend ranks. Those augments would only be unlocked at the Legend rank, so they will not be available at any lower ranks. Augments for turrets: Augments for hulls: I hope that everyone appreciates my augments ideas. They are only unlocked at Legend ranks. If you have any augments ideas, then please list them down in the comments below. Ares is soon coming out, so this hull might need a unique augment for its hull. Thanks for reading and understand.

Me too. I completed the challenge and bought a battle pass using 500 Tankions. I would like to get Freeze and Dictator XT skins.

I thing that the overdrive is fine. It has to be the way I put it to be unique and cool.

No. I did not use any drones at all to get to Legend 34. I am saving my batteries for the next holiday event.

I made it to Legend 34. That was fast.

The second July challenge 2020 starts tomorrow.

I am not being selfish. I gave my opinion for myself. You may find this boost a bad thing, so I agree. This is only an experiment so it will be fine tuned after this experiment ends. We will see what's to come after this experiment boost ends.

This is not a nightmare. For me as a Legend ranked player, it is very beneficial for me to rank 3x faster and earn 40,000 crystals per every new Legend rank. I am so happy to move ahead and progress into higher Legend ranks, so this summer boost is very helpful for me. By the way, I have 8 days of Premium left which further boosts my experience points in battles. I love it. I wish this experiment was a permanent feature.

That's a bad thing because the line of Legacy skins are not complete. Either way, developers should finish off all the legacy skins or remove them all.

I do understand that all hull ideas has to be mentioned here. Do you accept my idea on this new Hummingbird hull?

Ares better have all of the skins released when it comes out. I hope that legacy, prime and ultra skins would all be released at the same time when Ares is released. If Ares is going to take such a long time to be released, it better be released with all the skin sets. The same thing goes for the Tesla turret. All the skins for that turret must be released at the same time.

The experience boost is dazzling for me as a Legend ranked player. I am making the most of it.

That's what I done. I only downloaded one of the three images. When will I know when I will get my reward?

It would be good if the original "Tanki Online 2009", which was released on that date would be available for players on the test servers. For players like me that never played Tanki Online in 2009, when it first came out, would be thrilled to see how the game originally looked like by playing it on the test servers. V-Log 261 takes us back in time to 2015 when three updates that were released to Tanki Online, which players liked. But how would those players know how Tanki Online looked like in 2009? I would suggest that for every 10 years, that is every decade, that Tanki Online makes a special V-Log similar to this one which discusses about Tanki Online in the past 10 years. That would be better than every 5 years though. The test servers are great for testing out all equipment of any kind including future releases such as Ares and Tesla, but it would be a dazzling experience for players that never played the original game in 2009 when it came out. So, I would suggest that the "Tanki Online 2009" original game would be uploaded on the test servers. I am sure that the developers have a hidden version of Tanki Online from 2009 hidden somewhere. Its lurking around in a Tanki Online bunker, I suppose, but I hope that the rumors and leaks are correct so that this hidden game can make a comeback on the test servers for players to use and play with. Since I joined Tanki Online in 2015, like this V-Log 261 talks about, I never had the chance to know how Tanki Online looked like and what equipment it had in 2009. So, I urge developers to release the 2009 version of Tanki Online on the test servers. Please do that so that players can make videos, discuss about how the game looked and worked like in 2009, and the features that were available at that time. Tanki Online 2009 would please players that played the game in 2009 and liked it the way it was. I am sure that the players that remember playing Tanki Online during that time would not say no to taking a trip back in time to the early days of Tanki Online when it was first released. I want Tanki Online to move forward, not backwards, but still I would like to remember the original history of the game by having the 2009 version of the test servers. Tanki Online, now in 2020, must continue to grow bigger and better all the time by keeping on receiving cool updates and new features all the time. For example, developers must finish creating all the missing legacy, prime and ultra skins needed to complete all the lines of skins for all turrets and hulls. Skin development for Tanki Online is going rather slow. To speed things up, it would be much better if developers released three skins at the same time. That is one legacy skin, a prime skin and an ultra skin. That is three variants of skins for any turret or hull that does not have any. V-Log 261 has proven us a reminder of the past in 2015, not in 2009 though, but I would rather see the future of Tanki Online like the release of Ares, Tesla, all the completed skins and the removal of Flash. Speaking of the famous hull Ares, when will this hull be officially released to the main servers? Developer have not given us a true date yet, so when will the official release of this new hull take place? As for Tesla though, developers mentioned that it would be released after Ares, but how long after and when? Developers did not show us how the real Tesla would look like but instead showed us a prototype of Tesla in its basic shooting mechanics, but nothing more that that. That must mean that Tesla is in its alpha stages of development. Developers have not mentioned that either. Please give us more information about Ares and Tesla. Thank you.

Developers forgot to say if we had to download and paint all the three images or only one of them.

Me too. I expect Ares to be perfect when its released.

Gracious me. When is Ares coming out?

Well, well done for reaching Legend 100.

I have an excellent idea for a new hull. The new hull will be released after the Ares hull and the Tesla turret. That would be sometime in 2021, maybe 2022, but who knows the year. We all know that Ares is a hover hull which cannot fly but can hover over the ground. I have come up with an idea which was shown years ago as a spoof joke in V-Log 45. This joke was the last TEST BOX joke to be seen in V-Logs. Take a look at the images below: This is no longer a joke. Now this is a proper realistic idea I have about a new hull that will be a lightweight hull that flies. The hull is supposed to fly like a helicopter. How would this hull work? This flying hull will have an overdrive that is charged only when successfully capturing control points, flags and rugby balls. The overdrive bar will fill up and can then be manually activated to make the hull fly like a helicopter. Name:The suitable name for this hull that I name is called "Hummingbird". That's because this hull fly both fly and hover up in the air like a bird. See the images below: Controls: The Hummingbird hull would be controlled in a similar way as Ares would be. The turret would automatically rotate and point at enemies, rather than being welded on the hull like Ares. Overdrive: When using the Hummingbird hull, the hull would be controlled and driver with caterpillar tracks as with normal hulls. The overdrive would only charge up and fill up when the players successfully captures a control point, flag and rugby ball. When the overdrive is successfully activated by the player, it will heal the tank to its full health like Dictator's and Mammoth's overdrive and simultaneously activate all other supplies, dropping 4 mines on the ground shaped like a square. I mean positioned like a square. The active time of the overdrive would be 20 seconds. That's enough time to fly from one end of a large map to the other. The overdrive will drop 4 mines, 5 meters apart in this square shaped position as well. None of your existing mines, repair kits or other supplies would be consumed during the active time of the overdrive. This overdrive will be unique. Sounds: The sound of the Hummingbird hull when in flying mode would have a similar sound effect as the one you hear and see in V-Log 45. V-Log 45 was uploaded on 15th May 2015, around the time when I created my RIDDLER_8 Tanki Online account. The idea of a Hummingbird hull was lurking around for quite sometime but was never put in active development. That's why I have decided to bring back to life the Hummingbird hull that never came to Tanki Online. Stability: The stability of this flying hull would make it impossible to capsize. Four large propellers would be positions at each corner of the hull, keeping it perfectly stable and manoeuvrable in the air, whilst moving forward, backwards or sideways. This is absolutely a hull that's needed in Tanki Online. It is not a clone of Ares at all. It is supposed to fully fly and operate in an entirely new way. Watch V-Log 45 at 7:23 to see the Hummingbird hull in action here: Please consider my idea as valid and don't merge it with other players ideas for hulls. Thank you.

I hope that developers are going to finish all the Legacy, Prime and Ultra skins as soon as possible and release each skin family simultaneously to quickly finish all the skins for all turrets and hulls.

I don't have Railgun Legacy skin. Its nice though.

This V-Log 261 only discusses past updates of 2015. There are no updates this week.
