It's called maxed booster drone. Kind of like a 'hack' currently. I have it also and and get called cheater once or twice per few battles. Especially deadly with railgun and instant reload alt.

When you use matchmaking battles and teams are fairly balanced. I know it might sound as a spam, but so hard to get into battles when teams are actually fair and in the end of game you can type ''gg'' while thinking, ''Hell yeh, this was really a good game''.

Oh, so you actually got to play. That makes everything way harder. Thanks for clearing it up. Cheers.

Out of curiosity, why was I removed from these ratings?

I have never been camper and I only play CTF lately hehe. Don't be fooled by my profile, most of my DM was with Shaft/Titan, I barely ever use shaft after it received distance nerf, which was what, a year ago? In CTF, doesn't matter the turret, I always play attacking roll. Since firebird's range is extremely small, it's very easy to avoid them if you posess skills of driving backwords while shooting. Since they need to be close to you to make some damage, they always follow you. Place a mine or 9 and it's again a dead firebird. Shoot a corner with rail and firebird starts to hug a wall. Not even gonna mention smoky or twins. But still, I barely EVER see firebird in a CTF battle being on top. Obviously, if he knows how to play, you don't need much kills in CTF to become first. Might be completely different story in CP, but those are always noobish battles for big hulls. Referring mostly to Poly CP, which people use to play a lot. I am not trying to insult anyone here, just friendly conversation and optinion. Every turret can be deadly in correct hands.

I don't understand why most of people here saying firebird is OP. There are many of them in battle, but they are generally easy to avoid and IMO kind of low damage turrets. I never use close range turrets, always mid or long, so fire's are easy kills for me. In a fact, I have 145 hours of Railgun protection compared to 31 hours of Firebird(-7 due to vulcan overheating protection). Yet, I have 122 hours of freeze protection due to freezing effect, which literally can't be avoided. Also, when checking CTF battles, it's not very often when firebird is first. And generally KD's of fire's are under 1. Not that KD matters, but it does look nicer when you are not 5 kills 12 deaths. Obviously, I am not correct person to actually comment about firebird performance as it is only turret I do not have M4, well, I don't even have M0.

You deserve a medal for this advice. No idea how I heal myself, but need to keep this in mind, ALWAYS, when dealing with afterburn. Thank you!

I bet mine module sales have been skyrocketing after saboteur drone was released. I did get one, missed MU sale, but 36% is still better than nothing.

When you die, your drugs are available right away, so 10s cooldown does make sense. Otherwise the benefit of this drone would be too minimal and no one would actually buy it. Even now, I do have 20/20 booster and after messing around with it for some time, I feel that there are much better options. The actual ''boost'' is too short to make any difference. I do think all of these drones need buff to be useful. 5 seconds is surely not enough. 8s would be already much better.

I was so sure that MU discounts were today ...!!!Logged in just for that to get disappointment, bad luck.

People will start exploiting gear score when done like this. Wearing M0 in Legends ranks and then swapping after they join. PS: I would, why wouln't others?

Haha, nice! I had similar feeling. Did you suffer from some quick shots in registering?

With star pass, here are some of my hours to reach to specific tiers(paints): (NOTE, I do not leave battles when my team is loosing, I only left when I had under 4 minutes to play) Paint Silver Bricks is Tier 4, didn't take probably more than 30 minutes or so, not sure about it. Next paint is Tessaract Camo Tier 22, it took me 10 hours and 26 843exp to get it. Next paint Lava Lamp Tier 34, it took me 13,2 hours and 33 540exp to get it. Next paint Lightning Storm Tier 43, it took me 11,7 hours and 33 301exp to get it. I am at 1600 points currently and no time to play this year, but it took roughly 34,9(excluding Tier 4 paint) hours and 93,684exp to reach highest tier paint.

The line between buyers and free to play players use to be much greater before all of the nerfs. So death of Tanki is not only due to buyers having much greater equipment. Before Isida major nerf(vampire effect), what advantages buyers had: -Premium paint with proper protection against ALL turrets - 15%? In low ranks, this made huge difference. -Fully MU-d equipment(any rank) had greater stats than currently. Example Thunder M3 and M4: Damage: (650.59-900 → 740-1020) It's not that much of upgrade considering the price. -Drugs. This was major upgrade for f2p players, duration of drugs is basically nothing. With speed boost, you can barely reach to enemy base and it's gone. -Intro of overdrives. Now everyone can have full drugs in matter of press of button, FREE. I am not arguing that Tanki is not dying, but they been working hard to make the cap between buyers and f2p players smaller, so I think the reason of this game loosing interest is not just connected to buyers. I said it before, the main reason is the lack of communication between players and developers. They make updates by just hoping playerbase will like it, this is old soviet union way of thinking when people had to just adjust their life because they couln't get their voice out or didn't have any other options. Nowadays with all the social media and free communication channels, people can easily complain and if they don't like it, they just quit, there are 100000+ other games to play.

Alright, I try to catch some clips while playing with shaft, probably won't need more than 3 with triple arcade glitch and about 3 with arcade damage scope shot. Will make proper post and share it here.

I LOVE exploiting this way of thinking: I'm currently at 1.6k stars, so been playing way too much past few days. And everyone does it, playing a minute and then swapping their protections accordingly, which is why I always start with hammer/shaft/striker(IMO most OP turrets currently due to their damage and my playing style) and after 1-2 deaths, I can see people swapping their protection and when there are at least 4 out 8 enemies with protections, I change my turret along with protections. This makes their garage locked and they can't change anymore and I enjoy basically protection free game. I know it's cheap and most likely annoying for other, but exploiting game mechanics without any illegal moves/cheats usually pays off. Well, it does piss of some people:

And then new community manager comes along and puts it to containers. I would not trust this. Paint Eternity(and others) had similar marketing scheme(and it cost 500k!, which was massive amount back then). Now everyone has it. Proper lie by Tanki Online and EN community manager. DO NOT BUY OR TRUST. In few months most likely everyone have it. When you loose your trust once, it's nearly impossible to gain it back. Your foolish mistakes makes not to trust offers which are marketed as ''unique'' or ''rare''. There is no such thing in this game, which is one of the reasons of downfall of TO.

You guys remember that ghost bullet glitch? Full scope mode or arcade and no damage done what so ever? Dozens of us dedicated shafters(back then I was one), I think we made long and well written post to game issues topic and rest of us backed it up. Issues got resolved quite fast. I think we should address this and full scope arcade damage issue aswell with solid proof and hopefully it gets fixed quicker. When hammer gets nerfed, this will be next OP turret for me, but loosing 10+ kills per game is just annoying. I did yesterday 49 kills 5 deaths in CTF mode, 1 flag capped. At least 40 of these kills where arcade mode!

Well, it is a shaft, so if someone took our flag, obviously I used scope mode also, but main goal was not to get kills and cap it fast - star week! But yeh, 70% were close range.

I am surprised there is not much talk about triple arcade shot alt. I did purchase it already some time ago, just haven't been really testing it. But since I am after stars and playing hammer/isida constantly gets very boring. So decided to give it a shot. Turret - Shaft with 'Rapid-Fire' alt. Hull - Viking Playmode - CTF Play-style - attacking Oh boy, I had great fun. I love this alt. Since tanki took shaft nerf too far, didn't counter more than 3-4 protection modules out of 10 games. Well, people did equip shaft protection during matches, but I was mostly only shaft playing. FINALLY shaft is playable again. WARNING - This specific alternation is glitched! Time to time, actually fairly often, when you do arcade shots by quickly spamming space bar, some of the shots do NOT register. First one, no problems, but 2 second shots do 0 damage and no, I did not miss ...!

I can top it off. Scenario: Tight CTF game with score of 2:2, 1 minutes left on the clock. Finally getting the flag and so close to actually scoring, 3 enemy defenders following, health getting low. There is a teammate with overdrive trying to NOT help you, but wait till you die. I guess in his head, he figured, that when I die, he will get the flag and score himself. Well, I died, he got the flag, used overdrive, but couln't beat 3 enemies and died - flag was returned. Game ended with tie ...

Finally people started to realize how OP this thing currently is. In some matches, 90% of people have 50% protections, yet, even with a full protection, it can do decent damage. I noticed that my drug usage has dropped, because I don't die as often anymore and with Assult drone, my drugs won't really expire, EVER.

Yep, I am at tier 22 and I I got 36. I do love this update. Finally something to do which aint boring as daily mission for pointless rewards.

I am 30 dude, I run few successful business and employ many individuals, therefore, as a entrepreneur I am fully aware of social security payments and the big issue which been talked about past 12 years. By that statement, I ment, that collecting money and just keeping it in your bank account for retirement is stupid thing to do. ''Get your ass up and do something, so you don't have to hope for social security and collect each cent.'' Can't succeed when you don't do anything! 1) This one is taken from different forum and concerns different game, where they have generally 50k players online. Asking price is 500million ingame money. 1 million is 0.70usd, so asking price is 350usd. If you ask the guy, then the name is ''Jump''. If Tanki will actually manage to get more players and keep game live next 5 years, I don't see why name ''Avoid'' shouln't sell with similar price. This is solid fact, not an opinion. Edit: Now, before you tell me that I could ask a million dollars for my used toothbrush. but no one will buy it, check out the interest on this same name: 2) Again, how can you make consumptions without actual data. I own my companies, not work under someone. Here is my revenue in Q4 without current month: I don't have correct numbers about profit and expense, because Q4 is still lasting. But I am expecting about 650kish PROFITS and this is just one of my companies(yes it is most profitable). So your assumption of 100k yearly is far off from reality. I do not pay myself salary, just dividends and generally they reach to 1-1.5m per year AFTER taxes. Yes, I do have gambling problem, like 75% in the world, but I can also afford to gamble and limit it to specific locations and budget per trip. 3) Again, you can't use word ''obvious'' when you do not know facts. It's not obvious that I like to have fun more, I started my own company when I was 16, worked 16 hours per day next 5 years without proper vacation. Now, where does sentence ''obviously I like to have fun more than build something long lasting'' fit in this concept? 4) Don't dish it out when you can't take it. The thing you said was a clear shot to my way. Criticism would be ''I disagree'' followed by why do you disagree, not ''lost hope for humanity'' because of my post. Rest I either agree, or have been answered already. Cheers.

There are 3 countries in the world where this price is lowered by over half. This got huge attention few years ago and community manager released statement about this: For short, ''Due to cost of living some countries have different pricing in a shop.'' well, Poland is not the cheapest country in EU, so lowered pricing makes no sense, but price when choosing country of Poland: 30 Poland złoty equals 7.96 United States Dollar. If you want to get even more discounts, Mexico - 135 Mexican Peso equals 6.66 United States Dollar. Due to tanki's new payment processor, you can pay under Poland with any valid European creditcard. Due to tanki's new payment processor, you can pay under Mexico with any valid American(North or South) creditcard. As far as I know, this is not against their terms as this is their own mistake in system. This ''trick'' also works with many different websites in the world, most known is probably booking.com. Obviously discount won't be 50% but 10-15 is easily reachable.
