Magnum Lack of map choice Toxic community (not everyone though) Declining player numbers Magnum

Magnum has ruined tanki online why won't developers wake up and see the game is dying faster than ever. No one wants to be a part of this any more.

I find it to be the other way round. Rail is kind of useless in a Poly CP with supplies turned off, but it's good in normal battles with double damage enabled...

I would get hunter if I was you.

Casual players are locked out because they don't have enough crystals to buy supplies as well as equipment / microupgrade.

Decreases my chances of getting zeus :(

Smoky is best at M2, in fact it probably is the best M2 turret from what I can remember (this was a long time ago). At M3 there is a slight improvement, but not much. I'm not sure what happened to this turret as lots of people loved it and it was the most used turret in my garage for a long time. Maybe M4 with lots of double damage is good but it used to be a lot stronger that's for sure.

Yeah, face-to-face ricochet with DD is no match for isida with DD, but isida is so boring to use.

Back in the day tanki used to give out daily rewards instead of having to complete missions to get them. I agree it detracts from the game itself and becomes a chore.

I tried it a long time ago (possibly Christmas 2016) and didn't like it either as the reload is too slow. I never use smoky anymore. Ricochet and twins are far superior and you can add the alterations which make them shoot just as far as smoky... probably with higher minimum damage too.

I think the freezing of mission chains was long overdue as tanki has lost scores of casual players. I think extending the chain to 10 weeks was a mistake though, especially since there is no change in reward except for +1 container.

I second the advice about flamer. Do you have it M4? Has to be the easiest turret to use, plus you can do damage from "beyond the grave"... no other turret can do that. I should have got hammer but like a fool I bought shaft because I wanted a different gameplay. XP/BP is fine for railgun as micro-upgrades are turned off but I don't like XP/BP players so I never go on that mode. Yeah titan is good. I drove past your titan/twins on wolfenstein the other day ^_^

Nah I'd like to just focus on one thing now. Everything in my garage is half way to M4 except rail and viking which are fully upgraded.

I'd suggest protection against magnum, railgun and ricochet and buying about 5000 double armor. Supplies are probably more important than equipment now to be honest.

Twins and ricochet both at 10/20, which one should I upgrade further? I was leaning towards twins as protections don't make much difference against it, but ricochet is always killing me so...

The double funds have been noticable but it's been very difficult to find an enjoyable game with the immense amount of drugging that's going on. Since the mission chain update I receive a lot less supplies so I can't compete at the moment.

Magnum doesn't just need a nerf, it needs removing from the game full stop. It's one of the many reasons why there are only 6000 players online in the UK of an evening. Once all the Russians log off there is no one left. Third onion said it best in another thread

Will matchmaking stop clan takeovers / takeovers in general? I hope so, but then again I'm going to start playing pro battles more often.

When is the magnum nerf going to happen?

Too late for me. Already invested lots of time and crystals into viking M4 and heavily upgraded titan M3. Next is wasp.

Just got it at M3. So far not bad but I seem to be a target now for magnums because I'm a stationary object. Will probably stick to brest for the time being...

Magnum should be removed from the game. It's not fair that it can hit tanks from behind cover and be at no risk of receiving damage in return. It just doesn't fit into this game.

I think the same. Games are miss-matched so it will be nice sometimes to just let tanki drop me into a (hopefully) balanced one. I hope pro battles will still be a separate option with choice of map.

What time do you all play (UTC)?

Half-way through week 5 already so that isn't a problem, but 10 minute battles are over too soon I think.
