I spent 100k on lumberjack and picasso but I'm not a buyer :) I like to use hornet/smoky/picasso on skyscrapers (a rare map these days).

This offer is so bad. For 8 Euros it should be double that number of crystals.

This is getting beyond a joke now. Crystal missions are much more rare than you are making out to be. You're pushing us to spend money. I have more imporant things to spend money on than tanki online so these days it seems I have to earn almost every single crystal through battles. I will need over 150,000 more crystals to make my viking "M4" despite only a few steps remaining. I'm not sure it's even possible.

Yes I just played in a noise battle with a bunch of full M4s and can report that they hunt in packs. Slightly better when the rank limit is generalissimo, but then again I've seen a lot of general ranks recently with full M4s. Remember when XP/BP battles filled up most of RU1 and 2? Not as many of those anymore either.

It's intentional so you spend crystals by mistake. They did this update like two years ago.

Just caught one in noise against a bunch of M4 drug lords... lel.

It keeps happening, and my viking is almost M4 (with almost 50% thunder protection I might add...).

There seems to be less pro battles and more supplies being used... more than ever.

How is it fair that I have almost 50% thunder protection but can get killed in two shots? I don't believe tanki is working on balance at all, they make things OP so everyone buys or upgrades them. It's a conspiracy :ph34r:

Rico is a more destructive weapon provided you're not too far away.

But supplies do give a wipe out advantage as they double damage or armour in the push of a button. Just cut their power in half.

This gun is on steroids right now. I have almost 50% protection and it's still annoying.

Feels good now I have quit daily missions :) Simply couldn't be bothered with the chore any longer.

You can get 50+ kills in a 15 minute game with this combo (and pressing 3 non-stop ofc). I totally recommend it.

Nah man, it has become normal now to drug non-stop throughout entire battles. Everyone is drugging so you're toast if you don't do the same. Regarding the module - what I was saying is I have 46% protection but still get killed too easily. Oh well more time to focus on real life now.

Right, well I was going to quit the game for the summer and I have decided I definitely am going to now. Check this out. I have emerald at 46% thunder protection, and viking almost M4 but I'm now getting two-shot by thunder! This hasn't happened to me in a long time. It's the same old story of tanks being too weak, weapons being too strong and drugs ruining the game. It seems thunder is now also flavour of the month. All of those micro upgrades were a complete waste of time! One double damage or double armour is worth far more than any number of MU's. What is the purpose to keep on playing? No point in micro upgrading anymore as it's been proved to be a waste of time. I just could not believe it when thunder did so much damage! The whole point of getting emerald and a medium tank was to stop this from happening. It took a long time to build a good damage and my effort should be worth more. I just can't be bothered with this game anymore!

I don't know what rank jackhammer unlocks at, but if it's an option then I would get it.

Saw a hornet twins on lost temple shooting against a wall whilst an isida healed it, lol.

I don't know about not being powerful, I can do as much as 4200 damage in one shot on supplies. Of course, you need a variety of weapons in your garage and not just one.

Lag is just driving me crazy. I gave up and logged off this morning after about 15 minutes.

Tanki is impossible to play effectively due to lag.

I've only got the compact tanks alteration which works great in small maps - until the enemy uses a repair kit. It still yields a high D/L but expect to use lots and lots of DD and RK.

The entire model of tanki online is based on P2W. You get an M4 combo - tanki nerfes it so you need to buy another M4 combo. You want to compete with this equipment? Well you need to buy 1500 supplies from the shop. Then there's the expensive clan system, etc etc.

Yes, tanki keep denying this and say it's because the game is old, but it's a succession of bad updates which have turned players away. Absolutely no denying it. Magnum is annoying as heck, and there's no protection against it?! At least when hammer and vulcan were introduced, tanki implemented protections within the existing paints.

One week on from receiving the bigger mission chain reward, I'm convinced that there is no benefit to players. Everyone receives the bigger reward, so now everyone is drugging all of the time. The drugging "problem" is now worse than ever. I ran out of supplies today (apart from speed ups and mines) and discovered that it is almost impossible to play... so I switched to playing XP or pro mode... no other choice.
