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!

The latest and annoying hack is being stuck in limbo between being able to return to the game the hacker bumped you from and not being able to quit either the game client or your browser. That was On May 5th mostly and Today May 7 I have had my teammates not really be teammates they are pushing shooting me when I am trying to shoot the other team who are raiding the game. Raiders o/p and largest tanks and then twice as many as the actually winning team. Mults who don't sit and do nothing but that interfere with the team your on, and their ability to win. Show your skill and then someone boots you from the game. I lost many crystals this weekend. What are we waiting for, for what a game that is flawed and will be fixed when we go to HTML 5,when will that be and do you really expect us non buyers to buy for the opportunity to get hacked out of a game we paid for. Over the last week the problem I am having most is javascript errors so I started using the client. When the error comes up in the client if you click return to game then you kiss your crystals and any chance of getting back into the game goodbye. Press OK and maybe you can get back in depends on the hackers hack. I pressed ok not 10 mins ago and the cursor spinning and screen went foggy like when Firefox Crashes but it is the client freshly downloaded and installed May 6 2017. You know I have alot of fun when things go well and even though lately, since all the updates I can only be sure I will hit something if I am sniping if I stay completely still and a sitting duck. I have to do extra-ordinary things to make what used to be easy shots up or down and I live with all these annoyances. I show up the buyers and raiders whom don't hack skill counts for something. Then I run into Hackers who don't apparently like to lose or pardon my french big rear ends that like to gang attack anyone who stays in the battle and has a higher score then them. Isn't that against tanki rules. It sure is very unsporting. I realize no one but other players who are annoyed at the constant loss of crystals lost to raided battles will care what I have to say. My best friend says tanki has profiles of who pays and whom doesn't and those of us whom don't get shafted by near missed shots losing when clearly we were wining or should have won a battle with an equal tank. Even with zero supplies I cannot one shot another wasp and I do upgrade my rail. but only one second of freeze with out any supplies kills me and him. That is balance to you developers I suppose. I think this game has gone to the crapper. I left after the buy to win for a week I can leave anytime makes no difference to me. I have one question though how is having a premium account and collecting 2500 crystals and supplies any different then playing missions in pro battles I didn't even have to play for ten days and came out with more crystals and supplies then if I did missions in a pro battle. You guys are what baiting the uneducated, or ignorant players only to take yet another thing away when they jump on the wagon of free crystals. Make up your mind. I don't go out of my way to mine crystals the games I enter usually don't have to do with my missions but I get them over a day or two if I think it is a mission I will never get i change it. I don't do chains and really don't care I make about 2k of crystals when I play sometimes more depends if tanki gives me the multiplier. I care more for my D/L in my lower accounts then I do for gold boxes but even there I have been lucky siting in one of my many sniping spots and had it drop on me. tried not very hard for one the other day and buddy who jumped from above missed it and I got it without trying. Crystals I can make if no hackers come and do the things I described earlier. .

Without the ability to create a regular battle it is not always possible to complete my missions in the same day at the times I play. I needed a DM and there was no server with a DM. I understand why you updated pro battles the way you did. It just makes getting your missions done in the same day a little harder. It is great you lowered the price for Pro battles but having to be cannon fodder for higher ranks that seem to be in every non-pro battle is no fun and just an expanded version of your new pyramid scheme. There should be games with players at every rank and lower not just the higher ranks. This account is a 3rd LT but I have often times had to play against colonels and lower. Great for them they have had six ranks to upgrade and equip their tanks. I want equality for people of my rank and every other rank. There should be battles on the most used servers where my rank is highest and where Sgt Maj is highest and every rank in between. When I joined tanki 6 years ago people said you get more exp playing higher ranks which we both know is not true just a way for higher ranked players to have an easier time against lower ranked players. Now more than ever this is the case for higher raked players. Can you bring back create battle for regular games? Since I have joined tanki 6 years ago nothing but my processor has changed. My video card could handle tanki with everything turned on. about two years ago I had to turn of what I call the fluff to make my video card handle tanki, skybox and auto graphics and shadow under tank and fog. Now with all your new updates it would seem that tanki requires more from my video card and their is no more to turn off. Tanki does not specify what hardware you need to play. Therefore either your programmers have put some bad code into tanki or you guys need to lay off the updates of trees and other graphic enhancements. My next question has to do with graphics back in the day not so much the types of play like crystal boxes falling throughout a game. Nor does it have to do with maps that hackers took advantage of. Simply that 6 years ago tanki was all graphics options on playable, 3 years ago was too. Could you bring back 6 years ago tanki game or even 3 years ago tanki game? Could you dedicate two servers for such an endeavor? It is not like even the Ru servers are busy enough to justify as many as there are. Are you ever going to decide and state what minimum graphics and processor you need to play tanki without lag and video disruptions? There are more rules than no capitals and no political or religious comments but the other rules are not being enforced. How about no ganging up on one player. How about no power leveling. How about no inappropriate names such as this guy warrant 4 " semen2007super " Not to mention no Hacking! I saw a flying tank again recently I may have caught it on video I have not reviewed my video yet. Are you ever going to enforce your own rules? Taking out the critical error was maybe brilliant maybe not so. Leave error reporting to those that use tanki your customers paying and not paying. Hmm, have you seen the numbers in tanki drop off as of late. I was in April fools weekend on Saturday Night Eastern time. There was just under 7k players on a sale weekend. Even when it is prime time your time zone the most I have seen is 40k players. In my timezone when I started there were more than that 6 years ago. Will you fix the hack that throws you out of a game just before you are to receive your crystals, so you don't spend 15-30 minutes only to have gained nothing? Your need to make the game more kid friendly is not helping you attract new players if you let hackers and raiders run rampant in your game. Why would anyone continue to play tanki if they cannot ask questions of other players early on in the game and find out that those that abuse them are hackers not o/p not skilled just straight up hackers. You can only defeat hackers one way and that is everyone leave at once. Take their fun away enough and they will get bored and leave. It has been many times that you have a special gold box thing and it comes with not enough time at the end of a game to collect it. It is announced and then timer runs out before it is dropped. I don't ask for myself as I don't go out of my way for gold boxes. If I happen to be near it or it just ends up under my tank as happened recently in Alexandro. Can you fix the gold box not to be called to drop with only seconds left in the game? I think you could with this next suggestion gain players in tanki. Some people dislike the o/p of magnum or Vulcan, some dislike players like me who are good with Rail or Hammer. I know everyone hates a shaft in Brest. Could you not make either maps that exclude certain turrets, or a feature like in pro battles where you could exclude certain turrets such as Magnum or Striker or Vulcan or Hammer, Shaft and even my favourite weapon Rail? Alternatively could you not go back to restricting certain turrets and hulls until the higher ranks? Could not twins transform into Vulcan and get rid of twins above m0? It really is for rookies and has unfair advantage over everything else but the Vulcan. Hold fire and shoot no reload and then all three power ups. Even the Vulcan has limitations. Have you had time to look at my suggestion of dividing up strong players between both teams in team battles? Writing code that checks that tanks entering a battle have no more tweaks than are legally possible in your games micro upgrades? Making games balanced if players just sit and do not play? Lots of questions probably not going to get many if any answers but I tried! Like Tanki everyday I try, to play but who can adapt to all these changes? Could you give players more time to adjust their playing style before implementing more changes. A world class game it could be but that it is not, is a shame and no fault of honest players! Thanks for your time ShaftBusted/OLO

The other day while in one of my alternate accounts ,I said goodbye to a friend Thunder_King_8. I watched his call sign disappear. I left the game and saw his call sign in the game's player list and brought up my friends list which showed him offline. I don't know what would cause the game to show a player offline and also in a game at the same time. I have noticed this before the update. One of my friends showed up in the chat 3 hours after I know they had gone offline. When texting to them the text turns colour. Like when texting someone who is actually on the chat. I get no response and when checking my friends list it clearly shows them offline. I have a screen capture of the first example. Let me know if you need this picture

Hi, ShaftBusted here Real name Oliver. I have been playing tanki 5.5 years, I love it if only we could resolve the imbalance of games, the mults yes they still exist to this day, the hackers and the over powered mega tanks. I have multiple accounts and in three I have made purchases for crystals; but I will not buy anymore. If we the players and the developers can not work out a way to make the game fairer to all. ShaftBusted is my highest account, I paid to receive crystals to buy my first M1. Seemed important once. I will be honest I have multiple accounts for 3 reasons, First, when I started I played my first account until I was warrant officer 1 and found everyone was drugging and there were no cool downs and I had no crystals to buy and no want to play with power ups. I created a few more accounts every time I ranked to warrant officer 1. I actually wasn't particularly good at tanki in the first 4 accounts but loved to play where it wasn't all about the drugs. This was back in the day of 1-10 crystal drops. Second I would start a new account every time there was a sale in the garage so I didn't have to play next to all the over powered tanks in the same rank class as me. Third I started to help new players whom seemed to be having difficulty using the rail and making shots. Trainning them on all that I had learned in Tanki. After my 5th account was almost warrant 1 I went back to my first account to try and play there thinking I could handle it as I had more experience now. To my surprise Tanki awarded me crystals for coming back after a predetermined time. It was about 2200 crystals. I did do better in my first account from all the practice I had had in 4 other accounts and by being able to ask questions of other players from time of recruit. This too was a reason why I have multiple accounts because they would give free crystals if you were away for some time. Now they give premium accounts. I got to rank warrant 2 with my 5th account and created another account, Shaft_Buster because I was always getting blown up with one shot by shafts. I thought now my mission was to do to shafts what they do to me. I have 4 accounts named Shaft_Buster, and with each I got better at sniping shafts. I still find I like the game play from recruit to warrant 3 best. Until recently anyhow, now we have hackers and raiders at rookie level. I witnessed a tank being shot a total of 9 times by three tanks me included and he didn't die , he didn't have a shield and he didn't repair. He killed me in three shots with his smokey and I had a shield. With the likes of that who would want to play. What kid is going to try tanki and get abused by over powered and indestructible tanks and have (mults) players who do nothing to help the team or only help the opposing team, and not be able to text anyone including a mod to ask about if its normal, how to get help and cope with it. They should be asking how do I get crystals when the other team annihilates me every time. My ideas for fixes 1) just have a battle button instead of one for red and one for blue. Write code that checks for every player going in that checks the tank profile (what is probable equipment) for that tanks rank and lock it in, so no upgrades in battle and no switching tanks. This would stop hacking I think as the hacker changes parameters of the game to give some advantage. It would be outside what the code recognizes as to be valid and if a hacker tries to enter the server kicks them out. Dedicate a server to hackers and let them battle each other. The single button is to place tankers by their rank on the players status bar so no team gets too many good players. Write code that reads who is most modified and legally so in their rank. Next place a fair amount of powered tanks on each team. 2) what to do about raiders who place mults on one team and then make them leave, or stay if need be to have an unfair advantage. I know tanki has reduced the time you can stay still in a game before it boots you out. I used to train players in maps and while explaining how to make a shot I would get kicked because i didn't move enough and now the time is shorter than last year. Write code that detects if the player is moving, if not moving make sure tank is not upside down and not texting; but also check if tank is only texting. If not playing and not texting remove them, if only texting and move little bit then texting then remove them. If 5 players leave within a few seconds of each other or there is some imbalance in players check to see which team is winning if they have less players wait if they have more players eject the same number of players from the winning side. They can re-enter and the code in step one will distribute them back into the game by strengths. Write code to check for prolonged collision of same side tanks to stop raider team from interference of what was winning team from keeping opposing (losing team) from getting points. Like holding a tank against a wall or blocking the flag point. So basically write code to check for all possible upgrades of any tank hull combo at every rank, distribute power evenly and check for stationary none playing tanks, and check that balance of teams doesn't change toward the winning team. 3) This is something that has only just happened to me in the last 3 days but I have used tanki on the same p.c. for the last 3 years. Nothing has changed and just 3 days ago all was good. I have checked my internet just before going to game and i have unlimited bandwidth and it is running same as always. I have today March 6 2017 experienced it 5 times. I will be driving and swiveling my turret to shoot and the screen freezes and I either have over turned my turret to shoot an opponent or driven off the cliff I was on. I look down and no change in my ping or fps. I think it must be server related as I have also seen opponents skip across the screen and take no damage when shooting them. I have played long enough to know what lag is and its not that. A second problem is making long shots with the rail between a building and a bridge, the rail shoots the ground and in open shoots to high. I have been a practicing sniper for 3.5 years now I know how to make the shots up, down or straight. This is some hacking on your server end. Last server end issue is being booted from a game. Why is that happening when I play EN servers from 5pm to midnight but not in Russian servers at same time or ever in a twelve hour period on the Russian servers March 4th 2017. I was on all night not once got kicked. I usually get kicked when I am doing exceptionally well in a game, keeping my team from lossing from an obvious raider team. I feel it is a hack as sometimes I have to restart the browser; because I am sent to no mans land, I just see a grey screen not the lobby. Like not spawning into the lobby. A few times I didn't even get my crystals. A good tanki friend of mine had this to say to me of Tanki " The reason we are both still in Tanki is because, despite the hackers crackers, buyers and criers, raiders and tiraders, it's still a wicked fun video game. It could be world class if they would quit wasting their energy on tweaking and work on making the game more playable by the general public. They need a LOT more 'normal' gamers to be having a good time in there, and not let the game be deferred to the cheats and bullies. You will probably agree with me that its charm is that it acts like an 80's arcade shooter and yet has all the good bells and whistles of a modern MMO. All they need now is to implement some tighter security. They keep talking about 'balance' but do nothing to correct the real causes of imbalance. You know it can be done when in Roblox a live moderator can crack on a guy for posting a selfie before he even knows the game has already autosaved his imported jpeg." Sorry about the long post but I don't do short and sweet! regards Oliver/ ShaftBusted.

Have 4 or 6 teams all teams are groups of three and each has a color. It commonly happens that 2 or three players become a team in a DM anyway. Giving tankers a way to play and not to shoot there own Team of players would maybe alleviate this problem when you want to go one vs all. I may or may not have purposed this game before but not sure if it got posted. Checked the search and did not see any reference. Regards ShaftBusted
