In CTF, when I sneak into enemy base for a quick peek around and see no one. I grab a SB lying on the ground, load a DA for good measure, grab the flag and ........BOOM.......I'm one shotted before I can leave the flag area.

I still see players mentioning paint protection. Did some paints get a buff that I don't know about?

So, after all this deliberation, is anyone going to organize this topic?

Some players do pretty darn good at landing a rocket wherever they want. Some direct hits I've seen: >>Behind the building in Brest, taking out a Shaft/Dictator and Isida/Viking >>Behind a wall in Red Alert just as Overdrive was activated. Rocket landed right in the middle of us. >>From Blue team on Silence consistently landing either on the bridge or behind the building where Red team flag is. None of the rockets went into the "Dead Zone." >>From Blue team on Bridges landed on the Red flag area taking out 2 guards and third had virtually no life left. He did this as his teammates approached our flag area. >>On Cologne. Magnum was on his side of the castle catwalk lobbing rockets on the CP in the middle and on our base. I can compile a much longer list of direct hits, not "Gosh and be darned" hits or "I'll just lob it over there and see what happens" hits. Some players can land a rocket on any part of the map, there's no escaping them. And you want to do what!?! Give them a zoom camera to boot? I don't think so. Edited for typos

Never could understand why teammates try to kill teammates. A few weeks ago, I guess one of my teammates got a new toy...Firebird. He was giving all his teammates short bursts of fire. He came over to me and blasted his entire load in my face. When the fire cleared, I saw the enemy approaching us. I started firing and all he could do is go Puff-Puff. I let him die so he could reload faster.

If I'm near the drop zone, I'll either try for it (I usually fail) or do some target practice. The other day, I was playing Vulcan/Viking and wasn't far from the drop zone. I got 4 kills out of it. If I'm not near the drop zone, I don't go looking for it, instead I'll change some CP points or cap a flag or two.

The portions are weighed, but not there. Do you really think they just grab a handful of meat or a heaping scoop and slap it on the grill? Not at the fast food restaurants.

Yes, this is sabotage and is reportable, but you need a video for proof.

Are Devs accepting I&S about Holiday Events? If so. where should it be posted? In I&S Game Modes, Maps or start a new topic?

McDonald's combos. Well, let me see here. Ummmmm........ummmmm aaaahhhhhh hummmm Wait....something is forming in my head....Wait for it.... Nope, sorry, nothing come to mind. Since you don't want us to discuss other possibilities, then I won't tell you why I don't eat fast food burgers and I won't mention anything about the burgers I make, using my own recipe, that is to die for.

Vulcan has the same problem with auto-aim. Many times I try to shoot the enemy flag bearer and shoot the player in following him. In Brest, if the enemy flag bearer is going up the ramp into his base and there is one of his teammates at the bottom of the ramp. auto-aim will aim for the one at the bottom of the ramp.

In my earlier days of Tanki, I used to have some very exciting, exceptional battles. But for the last 1-1/2 to 2 years, there haven't been any that really stands out. Too many are blowouts and overruns towards the beginning of the battle and the losing team quits. Half way through, the winner has already been determined. There was a time when losing teams didn't quit just because the other team was a few points ahead. They stayed and fought. Sometimes, the battle was overturned and the losing team won by a very small margin. Those were the exciting battles, the ones that got you adrenalyn up. Now most battles are drug wars. The team who can drug the most and the quickest are the winners. Anymore, really good battles are far and few between. A good battle is one that is close throughout the battle, both teams taking the lead back and forth. The winners are determined in the last few seconds of battle by one flag made in the last 30 seconds breaking a tie. TDM is won by one or two deaths. CP is won by a small margin. I rarely see those battles, now.

Well, the best I can come up with, Luxembourg has 5.

Well, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. How long can you hold it? Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and hold your nose. When Mother Nature calls, who's to argue? As far as the person in the next cubicle, just remember that person is there for the same reason you are. It's a natural process that you can't deny.

@ @Stinger911...That pretty much says it all. You're right it's not just TO that is caught up in this financial balance. I've been playing some of the WarGaming games and they have a good balance. You don't need to spend a lot of rwm to fairly compete. It's absolutely possible to have a fun gaming experience without having to spend $$$ every month. Sure, there's are those who only spend, say, $10.00 to $20.00 per month, but at that rate, how long does it take to build up enough equity to buy a fully upgraded turret or hull? I'm a Non-Buyer because I have rw responsibilities that are much more important than a game to put on a credit card. That means, I'm up against Buyers who have the money to waste. Therefore, Buyers already have fully upgraded turrets and hulls or have the money (crystals) to spend on the next MU as soon as it becomes available, while Non-Buyers are still trying to save enough to buy the 3rd or 4th MU on a M0. Buyers already have a fully upgraded M0 and are waiting until they rank up to buy an M1. On top of that, you have the Protection Modules. Here, again, Buyers can buy fully upgraded Protection Modules as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Some Non-Buyers don't bother with Protection Modules, they would rather spend the crystals on a turret or hull. But those who do spend the crystals on a Protection Module, then they are up against a dilemma of which to spend the crystals on....a hull, a turret, or the Module. For fair competition, this game has become a Buyer's Market. A Non-Buyers recourse is to buy more supplies, which takes crystals away from what has been saved for MU's. It's a vicious cycle.

The Russians don't publicly divulge their income, net worth, gross worth or any other kind of worth. But I would venture to say that TO is a multi-billion dollar business. Either someone is getting mighty rich or they are supporting some other project behind the scenes that has nothing to do with Tanki. So, no, tanki is not dying, just full of financial surprises.

Animal abusers. My Mom told me about when she was a girl, a boy next door would trap stray cats and torture them until they died, all the while laughing. His parents never did anything to stop him. Someone who knows nothing about a subject, tries to convince others that he/she is right and everyone else, including the professionals, are wrong. Hate mongers, especially when the hate has no foundation. People who lie, cheat and steal for no reason other than to see if they can get away with it. In doing so, they have no remorse for those who are hurt in the process. Bullies...need I say more? I had a friend once that was a Bully. I asked him why he did it and his answer was, "Because I can." When I discovered how his bullying was hurting others, I dropped our friendship. When I told him how his bullying hurt others, his reply was, "That's their problem, not mine."

A lot of players are individuals playing on a team, playing for themselves, but they are not team players. Some people have never played on a team and don't understand the team concept. They watch a ball game and cheer when someone scores. What they fail the realize is the player would have never scored if it wasn't for the team helping him.

Tonight, I clicked on the battle list and all the battles were pro battle. I clicked on the MM 3 different times and it took me to a losing team that half a team or less with no hope of redemption. I clicked on the battle list again and still all the battles were pro battles. What gives? Can't we choose battles anymore unless they are pro battles?

Gas bomb explodes, gas comes through your computer, laptop, etc. You pass out and by the time you come out of it, your tank has been booted from the battle for non-activity. Sounds simple enough to me. :D

Instead of having this in every battle, I think it should be part of a Holiday Event. Normal battles (CTF, TDM, CP, DM) with normal play, but constantly being bombarded with air raid attacks and bombs destroying both teams. In DM everyone would be killed or damaged by the attacks making some kills a little easier. On the other hand, you could be trying to kill the enemy when a bomb steals your kill. You would get points for damage but not the kill, though this might make DM missions last a little longer. Using it as a Holiday Event would give the players a chance to actually play the mode and make comments. If it's a popular battle mode then it could be implemented into maps on a more permanent basis. Come to think of it, this idea could become another battle mode by itself.....CTF, TDM, CP, DM, WZ (War Zone).

I'm sitting here reading the forums, my stomach says it's hungry and the dogs want to go outside. So, my next step, after I hit the "post" button, is to let the dogs out, fix supper and find a movie to watch on Netflix while I eat. Later, 'Gator.
