There is no ned to destroy the game with such actions unless of course you have a pre dereliction for unsporting behaviour - do you? If you want to fight against the lower ranks, begin with a new account.

So, if you leave a battle before it ends you receive a deserter point. Earning a fixed number of deserter points reduces their rank a notch ... That's what I'd like to see in order to keep players glory hunting battles or destorying battles by leaving early.

Please add:- - The number of times a player has left a battle before it has ened. There ought to be consequences for those who's action are that they continually join a battle and leave early. If the ratio of battles joined and playerd until completion versus battles joined but left before the battle has ened becomes too great, then lower the offenders rank a notch. I might even put this forward a game suggestion regardless of whether it's added to the stats page.

Question has already be posed ...

Will upgrades that are already in progress be affected?

Ten players sitting waiting for supply drops, not participating in the battle, grabbing what they want to the detriment of the team they have joined. Well done Tanki! This update is a right Royal balls-up.

My point was that, given the railgun's higher firing rate and lower impact damage inflicted on the opponent for each hit, the game's dynamic has changed. It won't be long before it becomes second nature to us all ...

Any less number of shots and you'd find yourself hemmed in, unable to make any progress. You see?

LOL, I wasn't thinking the same thing either ... honest.

So they then use their 'other' accounts .... :D

You are correct. In a 15 minute battle the wait to change equipment is equal to a third of the battle time limit. Whilst I read the reasons why Tanki have increased the time limitation I suspect this will result in either players leaving the battle only to join again so as to change equipment or they will just leave the battle altogether, creating an imbalance in the teams.

BP battles take some getting used to after the adjustment to the railgun reload time. Previously one had to make good use of the hull as an obstacle on the immensely popular Sandbox map but I reckon that will now change considerably given these new railgun turret timings. One feature missing from Tanki that I desperately wanted to see was the ability to find an active map on any server; a useful addition for completing missions instead of hunting around from server to server (surely such practice increases server load, unnecessarily?) I'm not so struck on the hit indicator (although it's well implemented in a fun way, pop-up way) so I'll turn that feature off ... after all, when my opponent explodes, I'll know I've destroyed their tank.

That hasn't changed. You can still join a batte and change equipment immediately so your point is a moot one.
