You could buy all those things but why, would you? No matter what I buy in my other account I cannot get an edge because they toned down the one gun I use. Wasp rail used to be a very good combination but rail is all but useless against a big hull or higher rank. Wasp is supposed to be the fastest hull but I get out run by all the other hulls except for mammoth! I really don't know why they didn't keep a copy of each iteration of change. That way they could have the old free tanki on some servers before like in 2009-2014. They could have the Parameter changes where you could tweak your tank on some other servers and this crappy overdrive match making game on still some other servers. Well one can dream!

DestrotankAI9, on 25 Apr 2019 - 11:14, said: You have a point. team co-operation is almost non-existent - with exception of clans/groups. You buffing your team-mates makes you weaker relative to them. As soon as team-mates see you with star they will follow you like puppies - begging for your OD to recharge theirs... There hasn't been any real team work since they removed the servers for each language. They took players choice to pick a game and map away. They made the games last only 5 mins and stick you into some games with only 3 minutes left. How do you establish teams and who plays where in that short of time. Also not knowing if anyone speaks your language. They added all these overdrives just to make people buy. Used to be a double power shot would be a one shot now you need 7 or eight for some of these souped up tanks.

For those of us Tankmen and women who come here to have fun could maybe the admin bring back a version from the past and put it on 1to 5 servers. A version before Rail was the weakest turret of them all. I know the developers had time to enjoy being the biggest toughest tankers on the block and everyone who was someone had a rail because it was king. Some of us want to enjoy that too. Even if you left the guns and their potency the way it is now I would prefer and suppose many others would like a chance to experience a tanki of 2 or 3 or even six years ago when you could pick your own battles and maps, and the ranks that could join. That there was friendly fire or not and that you could see if the tank you are shooting at had a power up on or not from across the field, not when it doesn't matter cause it is too late to do anything about it, when the tank is like right in front of you. I know the developers at tanki just add fixes to the game and have no back ups of how tanki was, past probably the last update but if no one asks how will we know for sure. Everyone is told to back up your stuff in the digital world but I am pretty sure the programmers at tanki are told to copy over most of the backups after one or two updates are introduced because it saves them having to buy more disks to back up and archive stuff before the updates and there probably is no original code, left. Even with all the open hacks that were exploited, the game was more fun than it is now. We still have raiders and mults and over powered tanks pumped up on supplies and then the developers had to go and add overdrives for these players too, just as you got them the enemy where you want them, they go and activate said overdrive and finish you off instead of you finishing them off. I thought and I thought wrong apperently that if I play a game where my rank is the highest I should be able to be on top, nope the other tanks in the game are bigger more robust and have ample skills that they could not be new players but neither am I. Still when with double damage at a sargeant and with double damage and you cant one shot another sargeant and we are both wasps me a rail and he a smokey then their is just something broken in tanki. I have no problem for six years shooting 95% of my shots land on their target and over the last two days only 5% of shots land on their target. Thanks Developers for making tanki so Difficult to have a good time, yeah I come home from work to have a little fun and have to work harder than I do at my job to have any in Tanki. To think I would have told anyone and everybody that tanki was a cool game if they would reverse course on some of these asinine changes to what pay for The ill fated Tanki X. You are lucky to find a game there at certain times of the day. Even there they have made so called improvements like the tank cannot flip so their goes the art of shooting a tank as it jumps and you manage to flip it. It is so different than tanki no one wants to play it. Just like Tanki proper will be; the way you are going dear developers. You're numbers keep dwindling. I take screen shots every weekend and some on weekdays over the last couple of weeks . Back when I started playing the servers were loaded red, some were from too many players in some of the popular servers. Back then you knew what servers to stay out of to stay away from the main pack of hackers and raiding drug users. Now the only two servers that I am sure to stay away from are EU13 and EU24, however the game drops me into EU24 everytime I join. I have no idea why and none as to why they would want rail not to be the most powerful and why I can't shoot 90% more accurately then I am and used to do just a week ago, Maybe they(developers) want me to leave, maybe they will finally get rid of me too.... Like the countless others who wrote about the test of Match Making system, that the kids interpreted as an update. Just read the forums folks its not hard to see this is not a natural bit of players leaving due to some other game! No! No, no this is people getting fed up to the constant changing conditions of tanki and none to the benefit of long time fans, buyers or free players the only ones having any fun are those with parents with deep pockets to shut their kids up for a few dollars spent on supplies and kits to give less skilled players, us as canon fodder! Cannon fodder is an informal, derogatory term for combatants who are regarded or treated as expendable in the face of enemy fire. I could type pages but then no one will read this so as it is already long, I will end on this Death to Tanki and TankiX both could be world class games but the people developing them really don't care for our opinions or if we stay so lets not and leave, sincerely ShaftBusted also know as Die and leader of Clan _UC I think I about had it of your pitiful excuse for a game as it is too much work and not enough fun to survive, thanks to the people who brought me the fun and all the honest players over the YEARS! I should have left with them.

Overdrives aren't what they were when introduced and were never needed just a way for devs to get players to spend crystals earned and mostly bought. Drugs were never needed and mostly only used by the less experienced or those with deep pockets. Drugs were predominately used by people in CTF games that had teammates who don't know how to work together to achieve a successful capture. 29k well just 45 mins from server reset and only 5 k in players and yesterday Aug 18 after server reset there were only 4 k in players only 3 servers where I could find a battle at my highest rank. Everytime I joined a battle to make the teams 2 vs 2 the player on my team left for the other side or someone joined my side and the other two players from the opposing side left. Real fun these dying days. Just two weeks ago there were 47k players on after server reset on a Friday night. Yesterday was Friday night. Just a year ago there were 300k players on a Friday night. Death has come to the game we all loved and knew well. Devs should revert back to a year ago game play and no MM no Overdrive and no re-balance of tanks. Even when hammer and Vulcan were more powerful than rail and shaft I still could have fun in this game. Even the fact that a rail that is mid firing in the real world could not be stopped by being destroyed, the projectile moves faster than any gunpowder shell that it would go on in the direction it was fired taking out that what it was trained on. Isida was powerful too and if was on your side or your personal health box you were near indestructible. Today Isida is able to keep a shaft alive unless three tanks fire at it at once, it is only not able to replenish its own health the way it used to. It is my belief that when Seymon said he had to make the game more difficult for us he instead was saying to his tanki enemies he was making what he and the other developers have achieved impossible for anyone else to achieve. So they can go into the history books as some awesome players and the ones that came after cannot achieve better results then them. I say we should all take one day and not play not one of us in protest of all the changes of this past year. There are so few players spread over so many servers you have to visit many to find which has a battle to go to. even using battle button and buttons at bottom to screen which battle type you are looking for doesn't help should you try it in an empty server it makes the battle type you requested with a map not of your choosing and there you can wait for quite some time before someone might come. Why the devs don't close a few servers and save some cash is beyond me, there by making the servers left on more full and show more load. At least then you could find a server with games without having to search each one in vain.

They have lost lots of players already but every update makes more leave this might just kill Tanki.

So been to my first Quick battle and I see match making has nothing to do with making the teams fair, I had to play 6 ranks higher than me and how is that fair. In upgrades alone I am at a disadvantage. not to mention each rank brings you closer to the next M step. 4 diamonds vs a warrant officer 2. So we are still pandering to the paying costumers lack of skill. By the way I have 6 paid accounts so you know I still think the use of drugs and pushing them is the wrong way to grow the game. The game used to be about skill and further having fun and ease of use. Now its about buying the latest and greatest virtual nothing, so you can one up the other guy. I am surprised that you have anyone still playing this game, when there are more enjoyable ways to spend ones time. Even older games provide me more fun. I have been teetering on weather to go back to one, the one I came to tanki from The one I think Tanki was modeled after but has gone in the wrong direction for the last Two years. Yes you need to make money I get that but all the changes and the need to feed the higher ranks lower ranked players so they can kill something. I blame you if they cannot kill someone in their own rank. Great then those Higher ranks come to games and call everyone that cannot kill them Noobs, It happened last night in a Brest game i was in 3rd Lt against Wo 1 and 2 what did he expect. What do you think why your fan base is dwindling. On top of that you still haven't upgraded your minimum requirements page, with all the graphic updates since I joined tanki my old system could not play tanki. it was a duo core AMD 2.2 ghz with 7790 2Gb video card and before I changed to a 4Gb radeon R9 290, with all graphics off it still lagged badly on my 8 core. I recently changed internet to 50Mb/s from 6Mbps but lag is still an issue. It might not be your servers but just the Netherlands in general. Everytime I ping them it is more than double the time to any where else in the world. On occasion I find a game that provides me some fun but more often than not I leave stressed out and worked up not from the heckling but from the constant need to work not have fun! Actual work to stay alive. Again to quote my best friend " It could be a world Class Game if done Right, to rival the games from the 80's" ShaftBusted

One thing dear developers, there aren't enough players after server reset to substansiate having all 24 servers online and I personally jumped 5 servers to find no games other than pro battles and a mere 2 or 3 players looking for a normal battle like myself. Maybe when all your Russian players come on line you need half the servers say 12 for 37-47k in players but after server reset there is maybe 3k - 10 k players if you are lucky or its a weekend. I waited a long time for the match making system to be implemented but if I have to wait ten minutes for a game because the player pool is spread out across 24 servers and there aren't more than 3k in players it still needs work. Question about it too! yes Matchmaking will make teams fair at beginning but how do you stop a raider team leaving your side with like 5 players. Will the game end or will the opposing team have the same unfair advantage they had before the match making system. 8 vs 3 sucks. ShaftBusted

EU servers are for you and I mr America your friend from Canada. You can play on the Brazilian servers but unless you have created multiple accounts in an english server you may not understand what you are reading and where to put what when joining. The only server I haven't personally played on is the Chinese servers they have an extra step and my Cantonese and Mandarin are next to none. Every thing you will see in the Brazilian server will be in Spanish or Portugese.

it would be nice if you would translate this video to English!

You could use a real speed meter like the grand daddy of all speed meters DSLReports it will tell you much more than speedtestnet ever will. June 26,2017 Hi Tanki Online! according to your specifications page Tanki can be played on a 2.33GHz or better Processor and a current Operating System:Windows XP/Vista/7/8, Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Linux, a minimum RAM: 1 GB or suggested RAM: 4 GB a graphics card that has between 128 MB and 1GB and lastly you will need Broadband internet. My question is Since I started tanki I always had better than the minimum. Like 2 GB video card, at least 8 GB ram and when I started a duo core 2.8GHZ processor and some 2 years a go upgraded the ram to 16GB the Processor to 8 core 4.2GHZ and in the last 6 months a 290x 4GB video card. By your specs I should have a killer of a machine to run Tanki. The old 2GB vid cards did fine until Last year when you decided to plant more virtual trees and make the graphics better for a game that needed attention elsewhere. My video card still gets hot plays much better than the old card but the old card used to handle Tanki like the specs said. I know before I changed the video card when it reached its saturation point of heat it affected the lag and made playing brutal. I fixed it for a short time by turning off all non essential graphics. Then your programmers decided that Tanki needed more graphics fluff. I think you should update your System Requirements info to reflect a real machine capable of rendering all the graphics enhancements you unnecessarily keep adding to Tanki. The game would have been fine without all the upgraded graphics and peoples machines would not add to the lag from overheating issues. Even my beefier card gets to an over heated state at some point after 4 or 5 hours. Where I can only snipe and movement of the tank causes lag at the same moment the card's fan turns on full. It is not a PSU issue as it is 1000W Corsair. There are only SSD and a liquid cooler for processor and 4 fans. nothing to draw and major amps and cause lag. Heated cards do cause lag related problems. Lower spec cards cannot play tanki with all the new fluff graphics. Please up your specs. I won't blame you for lag as testing the servers in Netherlands this weekend I got the same ping times with DSL_Reports. It might have been the load of players from the sale. I had for the last six years Broadband 6Mbps down and 1Mbps up tanki lagged more in the last year or so then any other time. A recent speed change 50Mbpsdown and 10Mbps up has helped nothing. My fire wall reports no more than 900kbps down and 300Kbps Up like it always did. Tanki may not have the best servers or the Netherlands may have bad connections to the web. I may have a bad router or my ISP has bad lines to the greater net but I get my paid for speed with 22ms tops to anywhere in NorthAmerica, where I live. Sure as anything your specs for video cards and processor are too low. Quick note about Tanki_X: When I first downloaded TankiX on My Better PC 8 core 4.8GHZ 32GB Ram machine with 290X 4MB I noticed two things you had the graphics maxed and while downloading my CPU temp went way above normal 22C it is also Water cooled. I never noticed any other Download that taxed the CPU before. I have no Idea why a download would tax a CPU. I have been told that graphics settings aren't maxed anymore when installing and playing for the first time and that is good. Thanks for your time Please update your specifications. ShaftBusted

Pro battle servers this function as I see it but I wanted this feature 3 years ago. They don't do anything unless it makes them money! Sorry TO but you keep messing with the game I used to love now I am tempted to take my leave of it as every week I have to redefine how I play TO. To compete without supplies against O/P drug addicts with the largest tanks and protections maxed, and that is at M0. I can't see any real new players that will stay in this game if they can't even win at the start. Used to be you had to be a certain rank before you could buy Shaft and other weapons at other ranks. Maybe since you are so bent on making TO fair then leave all the new enhancements out of M0 add a few when you reach each consecutive level. Oh and what is the use of Upgrades as they, even maxed don't allow a rail wasp to one shot a rail wasp without any upgrades. A real rail gun check the link is the fastest most deadliest in the world. You the developers have made it the least powerful in Tanki. Thanks for nothing. https://youtu.be/6rpO7IP_0yI Real railgun How does a shot in the barrel not even finish shooting cause in the real world that will never happen at mach7.

So true, my oldest friend in Tanki is 65 my youngest friend is 13. They are both clan mates. I Have always been able to talk to younger and older people in the real world; but as I age it is frowned upon to talk to young people, who are told not to talk to strangers. Talking about general things is fine but just remember to be cyber safe. Revealing your Physical location or too much detail about where you live is unwise.

Very well written Logician_UC, you make your clan, and clan leader proud. You have a deep understanding of the human condition and the realities of modern life. If i didn't know better I would say you have an emotional maturity of a mid age psychologist. This writing is bang on the mark of what many people experience on a daily basis. I have even felt this way once or twice in my life. Described like someone going through the pain in real time, oh I pray not for you my friend. If so please seek help, and my proverbial door is always open to my friends, should you need to talk. ShaftBusted_UC

Try alt Tab till you get to your desktop. Then alt tab back to your browser or client it works for me. It happens if you have two tabs open like I have google hangouts open and second tab I have Tanki. If I shift the focus to the other tab neither works until I Alt Tab to my desktop and back to the game, then it somehow makes my two tabs to browser instances and if I try and do something in the other browser I get same unresponsive problem. hope the first part helps you guys. I have a friend that this happens to everytime he joins a battle. It has been going on for months. It happens to me many times but I am never so bold as to ask anyone to give it back even though I am in first, I realize someone used a hack to bump me from the game and gain my crystals. If they could fix the hacks it would be better. Here ,Here! Spoken like a programmer who knows!
