After all these rebalances, has anyone noticed an increase in the numbers of players who use Hunter/Dictator instead of Viking?

I had a great time during this giveaway...I had fun killing, cooperating with people I know and trust, getting some extra crystals from the increased battle funds and my super mission... Good stuff.

Check my numbers. Today I got 617 kills and I used 15 supplies. That's an average of 41,13 kills/supply. I could have chosen not to use any supply whatsoever for these kills, but I prefer to use supplies when someone drugs against me. Now I guess you see why I like to play so much Fire-Wasp during giveaways :lol:

No, stock M3. But it seems to be a rather useless module anyway so it's not such a big loss.

I've found a little mistake while checking out some product kits:

Atm I got 1886 kills and I don't think I've used more than 50 supplies for actual combat. I have probably used another 25 for golds. My secret? Fire-Wasp. If you play with the right people you can get 50-60 kills/battle without drugging, without pick ups and without worrying about other people stealing your kills. Now about my average...I've played a lot with Isida which lowered the amount of kills I could get. Most of my play-time with Rail was in XP/BP in which I am more focused on other things rather than getting kills.

Looks like we have a comedian over here :lol:

Probably because a Freeze user must know to turn his turret and many low rankers don't seem to do that. They will probably use Freeze just to attack head on which isn't really an effective tacitc. It's not the best way to do it with Firebird either, but the extra damage output offers the users an advantage if they don't turn their turret.

1 MU at every sale should do the trick...you'll probably end up paying about 100k which isnt much if u play a lot

After exactly 6 hours I got 1342 kills. It's really fun, but I have 1 issue: I don't really feel like the battle funds have been increased...

5 hours? I am 100% sure I will be sleeping at that time. If nobody tests this in the meantime we can try to test together tomorrow in the after-noon or in the evening (east europe time). Please keep in mind that I don't have neither a PRO Pass, nor the M2 alteration. Anyway, if you can't I may ask one of my friends to help me out and I'll post my results here if that's the case.

I'd like to ask something related to this. 1 RK can't completely neutralise the afterburn of a FIrebird with the M2 alteration so...if you were hit by someone with the alt does this make your RK heal only for 1k? Has anyone tested it?

I would suggest doing that after the giveaway as I expect a massive drug usage. Personally, I expect getting 2000 kills easily after using no more than 150 supplies, but others are going to take part into the drug fest and numbers will go up for sure.

I like it. I like it a lot. Thank you!

The achievements and detailed statistics were introduced almost 2 years ago so I will asume he created the account after that update. He gains 1650 experience /hour (on average) according to his profile. In order to reach Legend rank you need 1 600 000 experience so I estimate that he needed roughly 970 hours. 11 months mean aproximatively 330 days so that means he played, on average, almost 3 hours a day which is not really much compared to how much I power level play these days to complete my super mission. Anyway, having considered the data on his profile I think he plays a bit less nowadays...

Many things that are much greater than reaching Legend rank are possible without spending money in this game. Dedication are careful planning are the key. It's always nice to set goals and have a feeling of accomplishment in the end. However, you need to make sure you actually enjoy the gameplay...There is no point in suffering for at least 500 hours just to get a moment of satisfaction generated by reaching the highest rank,

With the overdrive and changes in supplies gameplay in standard battles changed a lot. There's too much focus around the overdrive and people care too less now about controling drop zones for example. Overall I don't really like these chages in gameplay (especially the overdrive thing) and I think sabotage becomes even more of an issue now. Battles with no SCD became rather lame with the nerf of RK. Despite the fact that making use of destroyed tanks was a quite useful tactic from time to time changes in respawn time are ok to me. Happy to see the "G" key being introduced, it's really helpful. As for XP/BP, I don't expect playing that thing anytime soon, can't give any feedback about it.

High capacity drum is its name I think (not sure). I don't even have hammer in my garage but I've heard some positive reviews about it and I've seen the majority of the players from the strongest CP clans using it. It's expensive but the fact that you can take 5 shots instead of 3 in a rather short amount of time helps you in small to medium maps because you can kill a heavy hull fast and then: 1. move on to the next enemy while you are reloading (if you pair hammer with a heavy hull) 2. hide for a bit and then move on (if you have a medium hull)

My bad, I though you want Healer for Poly CP :unsure: Isida is great in every map. Every team (usually) needs at least 1 Isida and Healer comes with a very good price and a quite useful module as well. Sorry, I can't see any kits in the garage (except for the supply kit) so I have no idea when it was available last time.

Jackhammer is a rather good kit for Poly CP, but if you want to get Isida I don't recommend "Healer". If you want a better garage for Poly CP Hornet M3 is useless in these battles. Since you can get Viking from Jackhammer I'd suggest you to buy a kit with Titan/Mammoth (Titan is actually better IMO). Here are some good options: Another option (if you really want to get Isida more than Hammer )would be to give up on buying Jackhammer and get Medic (great kit) for the Viking M3 and then another kit with a heavy hull. Sadly, most of M3 kits that are good in small maps are rather expensive...

There are many f2p users with multiple M3s at the rank of Brigadier for example. They progress slowly, but they progress and I would say their gaming experience here in tanki online is a success as they seem to enjoy it and they are very likely to continue this way. Sadly, the majority doesn't seem to be that successful and keeps playing, despite the fact that they don't really enjoy the game, but they go on for whatever reason. Everybody suffered because of the mission update, but it looks like many among us can't move on and adapt. Why did they do it? Because people could get 5-6k crystals in less than 1 minute. It felt good, but we were exploiting the game mechanics.

I was forced to change my nick 1 month ago...I used to be "TheBlackChink" and people were still assuming I am woman <_< Now, at least I play with russians and I can't understand a lot of what they are saying so this is less of an issue. Anyway, I like Fire so much right now that I'll probably take a break from Isida.

Sadly many people actually assume Isidas are girls. It's been quite uncomfortable for me at times as I like Isida very much, but I'm not a girl... It's some kind of stupid stereotype that girls always play the role of the healer...I've seen this in many games :(

When half of the members of a team use a certain turret it's a clear sign this turret needs a nerf. Probably people haven't spent enough yet and devs are still waiting a bit more before nerfing it.
