Is it cheaper to fully upgrade an item then get the next MU free, or just buy the MU item? Please answer, as this will affect some major buying choices I am about to make.

"The Rise and Decline of Tanki Online"... Sounds like a book...

I guess that's true... most newer players don't understand the effects of the change and may not even have noticed it.

Here is an interesting point that I think has gone unnoticed. Reading the posts, you will see that the vast majority of posters are very high ranks complaining about their M3 -M4 woes. Very few lower ranked tankers complained; most like the new upgrade system. This leads me to believe that the players most affected have been the Gssmos and such, and that the whole topic is of very little importance to those in lower ranks such as me. In conclusion: too bad for the Gssmos, the rest of us don't really care.

They are ruining Tanki. Do they think we will all go join Tankix because this Tanki is ruined? They can very easily ruin Tankix too. As I've said before, we're not that dumb.

Yup, it's hard to buy stuff now. If I don't have a parameter upgraded, its because I didn't want it upgraded or couldn't afford it. We're not that naive.

I don't buy crystals, and this upgrade made it VERY hard for me to afford upgrading my equipment. Especially considering a upgrade on my M1 Shaft might cost 1000 and I only earn about 150 in a battle. Not even taking into account the massive amount of crystals needed for buying m1's. I foresee hard times.

I must admit I'm excited to try this out. Granted, it makes you pay for upgrades you don't want, but on the flip side, every time you upgrade your whole turret/hull gets slightly better. So I think it's a good revision. But all those I don't want to pay for I'll have to now... Like Penetration on Shaft... Who even bothers? What a waste of crystals. I do enjoy the disadvantages this gives pay-to-wins though.
