Yeah, just max out the MK7 Ares to 20/20 Micro-Upgrades and then test in any matchmaking or pro battle of your choice.

You cannot get in to the test server with your current Tanki Online account. You need to create a brand new Tanki Online account within the test server.

If any of you are using the test server to test Ares, please equip all the turrets and see if any of them rotate independently from the hull. If they do then its a bug. Lets do a mass testing with Ares, plus all the turrets to see if there are any bugs. If you find any bugs, please report them here.

Yeah, that's true. Ares can easily be flipped upside down like with any other hulls. Here I have the proof to show you. Pictures don't lie!: Developers were wrong when saying that Ares is impossible to flip. They were wrong just like the unsinkable Titanic. It looks like Ares is a sinking ship too.

One superstrange thing is that Ares cannot fly in space mode. I am not sure whether that is intended but Ares seems to ignore low gravity. Ares in Space Mode.

I just ranked up to Legend 32 with juggernaut. It took me around 3 days to make a whole Legend rank, earning 200,000 XP. Thanks Tanki for the 3x experience boosts. I would suggest 10x experience boosts for Legends so that Legend players can rank up faster.

I have successfully created a new account named RIDDLER in the test server. That's me using Ares and Freeze combo upgraded to MK7 20/20 for both Ares and Freeze. The strangest thing and most interesting thing is that turrets don't rotate. They only rotate with the hull. By the way, Ares is so easy to drive. My new lobby with my nickname "test_RIDDLER" account. I do not understand why is my new account Marshal, not Recruit. The engine noise for Ares is unique. I like it. I wish that Tesla was here in the test server as well. When Tesla is becomes available in the test servers, please let me know. I want to give it a spin.

OK. I'll do that.

Okay. I tried to access the test server at https://test.tankionline.com and cannot login with my RIDDLER_8 account. The error says "wrong email or password". Do you know how to fix this?

Ares is a very beautiful hull. It has lots of polygons which gives it a more realistic and sharper graphical look. Thanks for the image. Also upload an image of Tesla. I want to see it.

That's amazing. Thanks for finding all of Ares and Tesla information.

Dazzling Victory. First place using shaft.

How did you find out that Ares is in the test servers? Please upload a picture for proof. Is Tesla in the test servers as well? Please check, then upload an image of Tesla here.

I rarely quote people to avoid spam. I think you folks should do the same. Avoid quoting too much to avoid spamming threads.

Yes, I have visited my garage. In fact, I visit my garage every day.

Ah, so augments are for all hulls. Why does each hull have the same augments?

Yeah, I am serious.

Thanks. Yes, I did give a lot of effort on this suggestion above.

World UFO Day on July 2nd must feature 50% discount on turrets and hulls.

That's your opinion but my suggestion proved to be good for various ranks.

Let me give my final word on this fund and experience boost experience. As you may already know, this boost of funds and experience is just an experiment to see whether more players turn up to play Tanki Online and also to reduce waiting times for matchmaking battles. The good news is that developers are being extremely generous of letting us players enjoy 3x experience and 2x funds. We will see how good or bad this experiment will turn up to be at the end. For now, let just play, experiment and give ideas, suggestions and feedback in this forum. We have the whole summer season for this experiment so its three months of great crystals and experience earning, which is great for high rank players. Below, I have a suggestion on how to fix the problem with fast ranking up at low ranks, but I will give my suggestions for all ranks. The first three ranks will not have any experience or fund boosts to avoid problems with those low ranks. hope this helps: 1. Recruit - (No funds or experience boosts) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1x. 2. Private - (No funds or experience boosts) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1x. 3. Gefreiter - (No funds or experience boosts) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1x. 4. Corporal ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.5x. 5. Master Corporal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.5x. 6. Sergeant ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.5x. 7. Staff Sergeant --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.5x. 8. Master Sergeant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2x. 9. First Sergeant --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2x. 10. Sergeant Major ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2x. 11. Warrant Officer 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5x. 12. Warrant Officer 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5x. 13. Warrant Officer 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5x. 14. Warrant Officer 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5x. 15. Warrant Officer 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5x. 16. Third Lieutenant ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3x. 17. Second Lieutenant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3x. 18. First Lieutenant ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3x. 19. Captain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3x. 20. Major ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4x. 21. Lieutenant Colonel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4x. 22. Colonel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4x. 23. Brigadier -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5x. 24. Major General ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5x. 25. Lieutenant General ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5x. 26. General ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5x. 27. Marshal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6x. 28. Fieldmarshal --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7x. 29. Commander ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8x. 30. Generalissimo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9x. 31. Legend ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10x. Here is the list of ranks and experience: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Ranks_and_Experience This suggestion of mine makes more sense because each and every rank must have its score multiplier boost for both funds and experience. Funds and experience must both have the same amount of boost. The table above would help developers find a correct balance boost after this summer 2020 experiment has ended, so if there are plans to make this boost permanent, at least there is going to be a proper balance, which developers can fine tune so that no players of any rank would complain about. Thank you for reading and understanding.

If Ares comes out, I suggest for developers making a 50% off on hulls so that more players can be encouraged to buy Ares. The 50% discount would only last for 24 hour on the same day as Ares gets released.

Please give us more information about the Tesla turret and Ares hull in next week's V-Log 259. I want to learn more about them and know when they are coming out.

Probably a good solution to improve the 3x faster rank up is to create more low ranks so that players can stay at lower ranks a little longer and earning more crystals after each rank up.

Yeah, if that's your opinion, I say, yes, go ahead and play like that. I don't mind.
