Of course. Getting killed constantly by fully microupgraded booster drone users is no fun. Combine it with overdrives and sometimes a game is impossible. That's why it is important to know when to quit and be selective in battle. If the battle is one-sided then I just quit.

I've been microupgrading the driver drone so that the viking overdrive recharges quickly. At 10 steps I get about 3/4 overdrives per battle. Combine it with railgun M4 and large caliber rounds (and double damage) and it is very nice indeed.

Why does the hornet overdrive reload so quickly? Why does the viking overdrive reload so slowly? Do the developers realise how much the hornet overdrive has ruined this game (especially combined with magnum)? It's not like I can equip magnum protection, because the hornet overdrive disables it. There are hornets running around with overdrive on all battle because of drones, drops and because the hornet overdrive reloads so damn quickly. The game is ruined.

I've saved up half of that amount (502,000 crystals) and I don't know what to spend it on, apart from supplies. There's no more hulls or turrets to buy and almost everything is at least half way to M4 (with no plans to microupgrade anything else). Since I always play offensive I would probably blow the 1 million crystals on a defensive setup. I'd microupgrade titan and freeze to M4 and buy the shock freeze alteration. In the old days this combination would be lethal, but now I would probably get disabled by the hunter overdrive just when I was about to prevent them taking the flag.

Do you have a link to the flash version? I keep getting HTML5.

Is everyone playing on HTML5 now? I don't like it. Railgun is harder to use than before and my timing is off. I'm also finding enemies harder to spot. I'll give it time but it looks like I am done with tanki online now.

But there's multiple hornets and they are all on OD so quickly again and again.

Yeah, that's what I find annoying. Ultimately hornet will drive players away from matchmaking and back to pro battles.

Magnum x100 Smoky I will buy M3 protections for both, but protections are disabled when they are using hornet overdrive? So maybe there's no point in protections.

Overdrives ruined this game even further. Hornet and hunter are the most annoying.

I am getting absolutely sick of this. Magnum keeps one-shotting my M4 viking when I have double armor applied. The thing is, the magnum doesn't have the hornet overdrive activated when it is killing me (just double damage). How can magnum do 6001+ DMG in 1 shot? The user indian panzer kept doing this to me and I just quit the battle because I am really pissed off and fed up of this game now.

I hate how tanki online is encouraging children to gamble with all these container features. Spend 30 tankoins on a coin box = get 1 tankoin in return. :angry:

The hunter overdrive makes me want to throw my laptop out of the window. It has far too many features and everyone knows it. It is disgusting that you can be saving up your titan or viking overdrive for a vital moment in the game, only for a hunter to not only disable it, but make your overdrive counter go back down to zero. When this happens I usually light up the chat with banned words.

If you are adept at knowing when to quit a battle (the earlier the better), then tanki can be somewhat enjoyable. I wish tanki would disable the flag for the first minute of CTF battles. All too often the battle is over no sooner has it begun. When this happens I tell the team to "go TDM" as there is simply no point when you are 2-0 down within the first minute.

I absolutely deplore magnum when it is used in conjunction with the hornet overdrive. It has ruined the game. I also dislike smoky a lot and will probably buy the M3 protection module.

Mine is usually 9100-9300. If I equip brutus, which has 5 microupgrades, the GS jumps up another 200 points. I imagine if I were to purchase an expensive drone and microupgrade it, the score will jump further. It's a pointless feature if tanki don't use it to discriminate in MM battles. But then, of course they wouldn't. Us none buyers are merely "moving targets" or "cannon fodder" for the buying noobs.

It's all I use. Stock railgun M4 is as weak as a kitten and round destabilization is too flaky for my tastes.

Yes I completed all of the weekly missions. For completing 20 missions I got senegal paint and 125 mines.

Battles are pretty horrible at legend rank. M4 equipment doesn't even make much difference against the overdrives and fully MU'd drones. Oh yes and everyone is on 2, 3, 4 all of the time.

Players like this make me want to quit: https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/aleksei_brazovskii Hornet-magnum combo. ALWAYS has overdrive activated and I mean always. Every minute of every game. It results in 25+ kills per game and tankers like me being 1-shot killed over and over again.

I suggest getting your wallet out. Drones with maximum MUs seem to help a lot. Also the hornet overdrive.

When I see magnum with the hornet overdrive activated, I know I am dead in one shot. Even if I use titan with double armor. How is that fair? Buyers are ruining all enjoyment of this game now. It's worse than ever.

The mission chains really feel like a sick joke to me. It is insulting to get 125 speed boosts after completing 10 missions. Today I got 125 mines and Senegal paint... What's the point??? Might as well quit missions again and just buy supplies.

I started using drones recently. I noticed that even if I use a drone for many days, my profile only shows that I used it for 0.x number of hours and earned maybe 100 xp. I assume this means the drone is inactive most of the time. Therefore, is there a way to choose WHEN the drone is active? How do I know when it is active? On a side note, if drones are inactive for 90%+ of battle time then maybe there is no point buying one of the expensive ones?

The game is trash and I really need to force myself to quit once and for all.
