twins=pro.... oh god, something is seriously wrong here :P

Waaaaaait when did that time end? I still see wasps flipping like cray, expesially against vulcans.

At your ranks the impact isn't such a big deal the problem is mainly with m4 and 3 .... i'd like to say get on my level son, but that would be kinda rude :P

Having used both hulls for a decent amounts of time, they are pretty balanced. Allthough i did prefer viking at m2.

If you are not into reading longish rants keep the spoiler closed :) A simple reduction of the impact force on long and long/medium range would make vulcan a much more balanced turret and bring back the utility of many other combos. This nerf could even be paid back, by reducing the kickback, therefore making it more usable on hunters, hornets and vikings, creating a larger diversity on vulcan combos in battles. I honestly see no reason not to perform this nerf, vulcan would still be usable, and keeps it's unicness, and this would definetly make many battles more diverse and less annoying.

Lags 1 - 0 tanki

Seriously :/ That is like saying.... a football match that ended up 3-1 shouldn't be rematched, even if half of the game was disturbd by a firetruck on the field... The teams desrve fair rounds, the winner is the winner of 2 FAIR rounds, the firetruck is not a part of the game, therefore making it bs. This reminds me of the d-dossing of the starseries finals

Jesus Christ. 20 damn minutes, is it that hard?

Was the first round official?... because it was a mess and it shouldn't

+1 for all the terrible lags that remind us of oh so many broadcasts before :lol:

If you don't play with shaft often, you will propably call it a waste. However after a few weeks of shafting you usually learn to get the power out of it. Buy if you are willing to put some divotion on it, or already have used and liked it. Don't buy if you are only going to use it as a side gun, without practicing with it for a while or MUing it.

*titan for poly CP, unless a gold happens.

Thank you so much :P the amount of players that do not know how to properly support an offender is too high. Hope this article reaches atleast a few of them.

Is there some supporting evidence for this? Or is it just

Nah :/ no m4s yet i'll MU hunter m4- on sale tho. Yeah... izi m2 will get weak soon, but m2 smoky isn't the way to improve is a dead proof. Neither is rhino, adding to that you would need to wait for sales to buy them for a good deal. I wouldn't like to put you through the misery that m2 isidaing until lieutnant general would be, but to give good advice on what you should buy to manage those ranks, i would need to know your current bank... so tell me maybe :wacko: The improvement needs to be on on a price range that allows you to get the kits later, alternatively you can buy some other kit like medic, raiden or centaur, that unlocks early. You seemed to been keen on smoky, so this might not be the way for you. The cituation isn't that great, since a good deal on something other than kits requaires sale or a completely random personal discount. If however you manage to wait for sale, before you reach bridgalier, where your isida is almost dead, you shold concider isida m3 that will keep you on your feet before you reach a smoky kit... This suggestion is speculation, i don't know your bank, or how fast you are ranking. I'll make a more indepth reply after you tell me, you can PM, if you don't want your crystal count public, or just want to have a longer discussion :) I personally made my way to guardian using twins/viking/mars m2 and playing xp, but those are not options for you.

You don't have to worry about MUs yet, if you don't want to. I haven't got a gun or a hull upgraded over 1/5 way, and i still slaughter pretty well at my rank. (allthought im MUing alot this sale) From my view it looks like you have already kinda specialised as a supporter on midrange, i think you should continue on that pattern. Here is what kind of plan i would make, if i was you. - Buy a kit asap, jackhammer would be ideal, as it would compliment the medium roles you seem to play. Paladin isn't bad, but you would need to wait ranks for it. Adding to that i think hammer would open up more possibilities than smoky, which is similar to your thunder in terms of roles on field. I also think tiger is more of a long term investment than inferno. - After that go for m4 thunder and viking at the first sale possible.(and MU hammer a bit) - Now you would have a strong foothold on a variety of battles, with viking/ thunder as a medium support combo and good attacker combo with hammer/viking. This setup would be ideal for supporting/offending. You would also have a good variety of paints for many battles. Then i would start buying stuff like a vulcan paint, proper shortrange paint, m3 smoky and hornet for the variety. This is only my opinion tho, and you might have different preferances. You have many good options to choose from, just make sure you wont do anything you will regret :)

I had 25% on redsuit after it vanished.... you had that too? because this seems really weard.

Don't get rhino, it's only a good buy when purchased with minotaur, or for the looks. Get a decent paint and atleast one m4 before Gen, othervise playing against generalissimos will be painful, they tend to have good paints and m4s and are not afraid to drug... or just go xp if you are in to that. Why not buy a kit? A cheap way to get good gear before others, and you don't need sales to get 1. Maybe paladin or guardian you will want to have m3 hull before reaching field-marshal, unless you drug a few ranks or play with a well upgraded m2 hull. I don't encourage MUing m2s alot. Aline your plan with sale dates, so you won't be left with too little money on sales, or too much time before them. :)

50% MUs, shouldn't have bought that emerald on irondays.... oh well still a good sale and golds. Hunter m4 is a few steps closer :)

Cherry is a good paint oki. a true midranger. for a very cheap price. It's concidered "not useful" because it's outpowered in it's own game by 2 other paints. Now why would you pick this over emerald or africa? I think we can agree that a nonbuyer should not be upgrading africa, to full potential. It's super expensive. I've seen a few rails here and there on polys, noises and other maps that one would use cherry on vulcans are much more efficient and common on the same battles, this is why you MIGHT want to buy cherry over emerald. The difference isn't huge between emerald and cherry, and both are safe picks You might not be a fan of MUing paints, but with cherry it will pay back rather quickly Generalissimo battles that let in other ranks are the most imbalanced battles on tanki.... as others said DON'T play them :)

I like the update, and i wish all the people working on servers good luck :) Hoping the chain thing works out, but im a bit unsure, since it requires more commitment than many of us might have.

Oki, so having bought this kit i could aswell tell you what i thik of it. - If you call a combo effective, or good, it means that the combo can do it's jobs well, often combos that have the minimum amount of competition on their respective role like every isida combo ever, or twins and rico combos in many maps are described as good or efficient, shafters call shaft the most efficient weapon, because it barely has competition on the maps they play on. Competition between combos can also be eliminated by factures like protective paints, certain type of enemy team or the unlocking rank of the combo. Fortress compeeds among the heavy support fire combos, and the pure drug domination combos with tanks like vulcan/mammoth and smoky/titan. It also has the bad habit of copeeting with itself in the form of Bulldozer. Let's talk about the role of fortress, what is it actually good for? So after all that rambling im going to tell you why would you want to go for this kit. 1. If you are at its 1st unlocking rank it will be the only that powerful heavy midfielder around. 2. If you drug it will definetly be a satisfying drug combo. 3. If the items in the kit compliment your garage very well And now why not to buy it. 1. If you are on ranks, where other combos like fortress are roaming around, you propably want to go for them instead.(bulldozer and Atlas) 2. If you don't drug you are not going to like it that much, you will either only use it on maps like camp, zone or combe, or keep dying trying to get to good locations. 3. If you have something similar this won't propably top it. From a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being buffalo, and 10 being prometheus) describing the usefullness of it, i would give it a light 6.

You are not are not alone :P

Tiger will be more useful on higher ranks. Cherry is outclassed by africa, but africa is expensive to buy and MU so cherry is a boudget solution. I wouldn't say jackhammer is short term at all, hammer/viking is good for any rank. Medic is not build for high d/ls. But who gives a duck about d/ls anyways. Why people say medic lasts long is because many battles need an isida, but hammer can be replaced by other guns. Sometimes jackhammer compliments your team better, sometimes medic simple as that. But the fact is medic will work on more battles, isida is often the winning essance. If i had your motives, i would get medic.

They don't make a difference on battle, only in your wallet. A good rule for MUing is: atleast 10 steps at the same time, that will make a difference worth your crystals. This isn't ofc even possible on the last upgrades, but why even bother buying those... small difference, giant cost you could aswell spend the money on MUing other stuff or paints, gear, drugs or something.
