maybe also the sky's color could be fixed,. in case I turn off the skybox, the sky turns bright white and it truely hurts the eyes

I never thought of that.. but maybe you are right on the percentage argument. XP is for sure legendary, but I guess this is due to three points: - hornet was the only usefull most favored hull in M0 and M1 (until in M2 the Vikins started to catched up and dominated in M3, as they were finally fast enough). Then Hazel balanced the speeds of heavies and mediums better (and those of lights worse). - Hornet was the earliest M3 that unlocked - Hornet is/was very cheap therefore so many players had it, and it grow to a legend. but if you end up with 4bps vs 4 bps none of them starts to complain that there is no hornet to overpower. I also never heard bp players complain in the in-battle-chat towards their xp teammates about their equipment. Most bp's simply know, that a bp has it's disadvantages (they die often enough because of them); and that their speed advantage is minor and that they can almost never outdodge an xp. XPs don't know wasps downsides.. they just think of "they are soo fast" (whereby half of that is lag..) and they blame them for having superiour equipment, not seeing that most of the time they simply face a more skilled player. Wasp was fun because of it's cornering abilities, not because it's great speed. If you race down a Hornet you are not much ahead.. so it won't make you survive. Especially not after the rail reload was shortened.

actually the reason is, that pure bp matches take way longer to fill up, so the players who create them leave again and never try this again. I never see bp players complain, that the enemy team has too many / too less xp's. There is no "market" for bp only, as bp's are not afraid of xp's. But xp's complain about bp's. The xp's seem to be afraid of bp.. but IMHO this is due to the history (wasp was more usefull before balance 2016) and because of skill (the more skilled players are, the more likely it is that they mastered bp too and changed to bp. bp was simply harder.. so in average (!!!!) it atracted more skilled players then XP did. today, most of the time when an xp player is beaten by a bp player, is because the bp pilot is simply more skilled, tactically advanced (bp = drive without brakes = think ahead a lot) and overall better. don't get me wrong - there are enough truely decent xp's around too.. but there are more decent bp pilots then decent xp pilots,

please propose this again, once you have a full M3+ garage.

cool new feature: specific [fund+XP multiplyer] per map. On polygon you earn crystals fast, so the multiplyer could be set to 0,9 (90% of XP and 90% of fund) On Serpuchov you earn them slower, so the multiplyer could be set to 1,1 (110% of XP and 110% of fund) Then there would be much less pressure to spent time in poly CP for farming, and people could actually enjoy the game, enjoy the great variety of maps (even low fund maps would be atractive then) and have more fun playing the game instead of beeing forced to "spawn, shot, go point, shot, die, repeat". The multiplyers could be leveled out automatically by using the statistics of the day before.

For the comparism I would estimate to receive in this single blocked slot a crystal based mission each 3rd day (33%), and an average payout of 1500 crystals per such mission. This results in potential average earnings of 500cr/day through the slot if you swap it out and try to complete it daily. 87.000cr / (500cr/day) = 174days. => if you complete it faster then 174 days, you win crystals; => if it takes you longer, then 174 days, you loose crystals. Just play for 5 hours (in-game time, not in-battle time) and notice how many kills you got by your usual gameplay (the counter in the mission counts for you). Then estimate how many hours / days it will take you and decide. good luck :) :)

use cover while you reload, and make use of your "more damage per shot"

esports formats are more complex then the scenario that Hazel layed out. In those "easy" formats like xp, bp, xc, ... you just have to limit who enters with which equipment. In those esports formats you have interdependencies of the equipment used in one team, like "only one smoky, rail protection of the team not more then x%, ". Those are things that require more work then just using the "xp" logic and tune it into a "xc". It would be nice, if you would replace XC with XC/BC (and have only this mixed mode). Wasps and Hornets should be equal and balanced anyways, so noone would be hurt ;)

Thanks for correcting the turning bug in reverse drive with inverted controls :) :)

Prolonging the grace period is ok. The reload and rocket agility increases the damage output and the damage delivered. I think too, that it is too early for this boost. But lets see.. Striker's parameters began pretty well and not too strong, so let's see if this turret continues to grow slowly into it's place - which would be perfect. ps: Maybe the protections did not sell as well as expected and the motivation to purchase them shall be increased ? :P ;)

good luck! (I would actually preffer to cancel xp and bp single modes, and introduce only mixed xp/bp, which would have less issues to fill up) (of course the wasp and hornet would have to be mroe balanced.. like wasp with more turning acceleration and hornet with same speed as wasp.. then it's truely stability+drift vs agility+nimbleness)

Hornet Striker.. but no Wasp? :( It would be cool, if you would enhance the Hornet-Striker format to a hornet-wasp-striker format, that can be played with Striker mounted on a Hornet-or-Wasp (like those mixed xp/bp, instead of xp aaand bp seperately). Some players have no hornet but just a Wasp :P ps: please give Wasp more turning acceleration, the cornering was the aspect that made Wasp as fun as it was.. and not as sliggish and boring as now.. :( If this makes the Hornet fall back in performance, make the hornet a little faster. ps2: The stronger zoom of Shaft is ment to be a nerf, isn't it? A stronger zoom means you see less of the battlefield if you look thourgh the scope.

It's ok if you don't like it. The idea was simply born from the impression, that I read from time to time lines in the chat that "someone was unbanned / because he's a friend of moderator" - and of course noone asks for proove. Players just believe the "mod's friend" story, and you can for sure imagine how this harms the impression the players have from this game. Noone's around there that defends the mods in the way you write here (selection proces, we do a lot, only rare cases, most issues are made up..). No figures can be held high, pointing out that "prooven cases of moderators power abuse in December: 0", whlie it "was 1" in November before. The reason why nations need to make things more transparent, is because they lost credibility in the first place. If you work on credibility with a little transparency in the first place, only few will doubt and you have less issues afterwards :p Please do not get me wrong: It does not affect me as a player, nor the gameplay for me, so, actually I do not need to care :p. I just shared the idea (and clarified the misunderstandings afterwards) as I thought it might be usefull.

It was part of my post you replied to, that the name should not be mentioned. My post was not about public humiliiation of witch hunts, it was about showing your communities, that you do something about issues with "incorrect" moderators behaviours, and that you take it seriously. It is a difference, if you state here, in your thread, that you "take care of it", of if you show in some results video the line, that this month you had "two issues of incorret mod behaviour which were dealt with". No names, no hints on the precise issues, but definitely something that builds up trust. It a proposal that support your job (as it reduces rumors like "mods are corrupt anyways and tanki does do nothing about it").

they always offer the wrong stuff :p

^the damage seems equal, but the afterburn with the M2 alteration makes a big difference in damage. On the other hand the freeze effect can keep you safe. It's a question of tactics. Those two closerangers dominate smaller maps today, in poly cp the team with more firebirds/freezers uses to win very often (drugfree battles)

589 (i mult :ph34r: :P )

I fear your hopes for a fast change are outrunned by their vacation schedule Today they are on holidays. Tuesday is their second day back in office.

Hmm *thinking* It's good that this case was dealt with.. and it would be.. a strong signal towards the community, if.. you find some way.. to make this public. I am not talking about a public podest where the mod's name is put onto, and we all may throw tomatos onto him. His name is not of importance.. nor the exact case. But it would be cool, if the community would know about it. It would increase the trust in Tankis care for acting if something inapropriate happes, or if a moderator abuses his poweres. It would also increase the trust into moderation overall. Maybe you could do the two following things: 1) you have those yellow lines in the lobby chat, where you broadcast hints and tips to the users. You could create one that's like "Or moderators are volunteers and the work is more stressfull then you think, so sometimes mistakes can happen. If you feel treated wrong by a moderator or if he abuses his powers, please report there (link to forum page with instructions). We will evaluate the situation" 2) your battle moderator report video could be retitled to a wider scooe. Then you could add a slide with the number of lobby chat moderation reports, in-battle chat moderatio reports, and cases in which moderators abused their powerers and it was dealt with ("we have no tolerace, if they...").

The price is ment to make full M4 combos rare and not even normal buyers can afford them. But as there are some real big (!!) buyers out there, you need something to offer for them to spend their money onto. Think of them like of a car from a premuim brand, like Ferrari. You could call Ferrari cars overpriced.. but they sell :) The only reason why so many M4 legens are out here, is the change in microupgrades, that Tanki introduced 1.5 years ago.

You are right, I must have missed this logic in your post. Thanks again for testing that and posting it :)

Saw me in battle with an alt or just in the Profile? :P After an hour of playing vs heavies and mediums, the M3 Titan does not feel slow.. and the gameplay is truely far more simple and demanding then XP/BP :P And if you get a Wasp later on, you almost feel the wind in your face xD - but I know this is just an illusion .p (but still the Wasp has too less turning acceleration to make it competative vs Mediums)

Cool idea to test it out :) Unfortunately, your rockets can deal any damage between min and max damage, and each single shot is different (propability of dealt damage is according to bell curve distribution; check wiki > in depth game mechanics > Smoky (as for Smoky the explanation is the most matured one at the moment)). If you dont want to make 20 tries and get an average value, I propose this shortcut: It would be usefull if a friend of yours is in DM with you, and he is right infront of you, when you shoot him. He wears no protection, so you can see the damage points you dealt by this individual shot. Then you can evaluate your healthbar, and check if your protection helped you or not. But anyways it is Stirker protection for sure :P

I've now choosen the Titan, and I am veryy pleased with it's performance I had the chance to compare it 1:1 to a Mammut, and the Titan suite me more. It is more agile (turning). The top Speed difference makes not much of a difference for me, as I use it with Twins. Today I saw a Titan and a Mammut race down the large ramp in polygon. The Titan reached the Pit with 1 floor tile advantage.. I guess the Mammut could live with that :P (it may make a differnce if you use it with Fire or smth). I also pushed my Titan vs a Mammut. The Mammut pushes me back sooooo slowly, it makes not much of a difference. I preffer that the Titan is slimmer and fits through the diagonal edges in Arena.

Within a range of 0..35m the stock Twins is stronger From a range of 35m+ the Twins M1 alteration is stronger One tile on the floor is 5meter, 7 tiles = 35 meter. Now check your favorite maps and see what your usual shooting distances with Twins are.
