They could anyways increase the damage by 10%.. :P honestly.. if not XP/BP, then most rails play mid & def/camping: midfield: here damage-per-minute is important. Rail has one of the lowest Damage per minute ratings def/camping: damage-per-minute and high damage-per-shot is important. Thunder seems to outperform rail already. only as very long range sniper a rail is still usefull. In other roles the Thunder is better IMHO.

I think the basic tutorial should force the player to rotate his turret before he progresses to the game. There should be more, optinal tutorials. the four gamemodes can be explained pretty easy within a single video for the turrets and hulls there should be some kind of OFFLINE test-map. The player is the single tank in blue team (only one slot available) and there are a couple of non-moving tanks in red team (which spawn where you killed them). You earn no xp and no crystals, like in parcour. Joining this battle the player receives all hulls and turrets as rental. As there are no other players, this gamemode could be hosted with less server interaction

Yes, I remeber that one.. this was a funny set of 3 battles :) There where you and two more friends of mine; and those other two guys I have not seen for a fortune ;) but I didn't mult, I still worked for my share :P Best thing was

Yeah I used Camera-Up to see the spray. Damage counters.. easy and nice solution! Thanks for the info.

No, I dont wanna do that. My drugs pile up so heavy, that I thought for a moment that they are the reason why my wasp was so spongy and flippy.. then I learned we had a balance update :p I just wondered how long you could go.. but you are right. You could at least play until the free gifts are gone.

Well wolverine is not invincibile, but the wounds he receive heal instantaniously. Hard to imagine, someone can beat that :p

You should really play less and sleep more.. to be over-tired constantly is not healthy!

@Fire and Freeze penetration: I've tried to observe the cut-off of a firebirds flames at te edge of the tank that I attack.. and I can not see it. In the vlog it was clearly seen that freeze is cut off by contact with an enemy tank. But for fire in the real game, it looks to me that the firebird simply blasts through it. Of course it could also be, that the fire that I see, are the parts that move _above_ the targeted tank.. but I can not tell. Has someone observed that fire is truely blocked off, if.. let's say, a hornet hides behind a Hunter, in a few meters distance.. so it should be save in theory?

well... I guess if 2-3 turrets are pounding at you, they might even need no drugs. but you are right, drugs are way more powerfull then an M3->M4 upgrade. The M3->M4 upgrade of a single combo (turret + hull + protction) may cost about 2..2.5Mio crystals. How many drugs would a free player get for that.. and how many hours of gameplay would they last?

yes ! yes -.- I have no official informtion; but if I would have decided it for myself, I would have deactivated the MUs for the testers as well. The target of such tests should be to test balance, and not buying power

just wanted to know if you're human. Good news is, you are :) thnx for the test.

wow..

Do you maybe have as well a tactical advise to this without the use of supplies?

Do I understand that right, that you compare a M2 Hunter with a M3 Viking? I consider the agility (accelerations) of the Hunter as more usefull then the very small top speed difference. For me dodging (based on acceleration) is more important to me then beeing faster. Especially because driving at topspeed for 10sec, the Viking is less then a Wasp-length ahead of the hunter.. which makes no difference if you use midrange or longrange turrets. It may make a difference for closerangers.. but I guess they are better off with precise control and less drift. Overall I like to swap my M3 Viking for a M3 Hunter after the rebalance.. but I am glad that you are happy with your Viking :)

There are whole industries just >targeting< kids (computer games, toys, merchandising for films, cloths, lifestyle products, beauty, sports, ...). Tanki is just a tiny part in that big game. I'm truely sorry to tell you that, but usually.. "there is no free lunch in this world", that any company would give you. Usually, everything that a company offers you for free, has a hidden price tag. The only free lunch in this world is given by the ones that love you. Familiy (I wish you've a good one).. or some very exceptional people, like Mother Teresa (google her if you dont know her). All other things are paid by one or another way.

well I hope you planed your future purchase well. If not, then you will at least do so, when you start to face more M2s.. Anyways, good luck in school! Hard work there pays off ;)

yep.. thats true too. Slow and time consuming griding for a lot of crystals.

If you play vs a Marshal with 1Mio xp and a Gismo with 2Mio xp.. you might not consider them meaningless any more :P

Yup. Fun is gone. I purchased an M3 kit (Wasp/Rail) instead of waiting for XMAS and getting the Rail and Wsp without any kit.. but the M2 was so laame, and boring and no fun any more, that I thought like "either I get this kit with the saved crystals I have, or I will for sure find more fun in other games until xmas. and have no idea if I return". Now I have the wasp M3-post-update.. and it feels a little closer to my M2-pre-update. Except for the _still_ sluggish turning, and the _still_ larger turning circles -.- I played 2 hours of XP/BP yesterday.. but it was not much fun any more. I honestly have not much of a clue on what to do now here.. ps: and if I would play monte carlo, I would be pissed as even the wasp M3 can not make the jump without a nitro

well then: well done, if you kept your attitude during this phase :)

It's not the developers either, as developers are usually just software coders. They for sure take part in the discussions.. but in the end they do what they are told. The role name you search for is game designer The role you don't even think off is marketing expert (most likely the blackhaired guy who tells us about sales in the vLogs.. but not confirmed :P)

That came into my mind too, and I think it will hit both tanks in both scenarios. The Freeze and Fire cone is 20degrees horizonally - but is is also 20 degrees vertically. On sandbox you can be at the lower level and harm enemys at the above level. The problem is, that you need to have a certain distance.. as the cone opens up with distance.
