Overall pretty easy missions.

A thread for posting player profiles that are abnormal/interesting in any way, whether it's for a really high K/D, a really low K/D, dedication to a specific combo, or anything else you can think of! Here are some of mine: https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/stalnoyshalnoy25 - The lowest K/D that I've seen for an account that isn't a low rank, a parkourist, a gold hunter, or a gimmick account. https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/Cat_01082014 - Over 4,000 hours with the same paint (Green). No other paint has been used. https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/cooyounon - Over 2,000 hours with Thunder Mk1 and Dictator Mk1.

At least we have clear-cut counters to Hopper/Trickster or Crisis. They were around before but are even more obvious now. Jamming Shot or Jamming Discharge paired with Hunter will disable the Speed Boost bonus with just the Jammer effect alone. Hoppers will have to decide between putting on Stun Immunity, EMP Immunity, or Jammer Immunity to reduce the blow of Hunter's OD. None of these are ideal and leave a lot of vulnerability (no drugs/OD with Stun Immunity, no movement/SB bonus/OD with EMP Immunity, and no movement/drugs with Jammer Immunity. Striker and Vulcan will now be good defense turrets. The generous vertical autoaim means you can attack escaping Hoppers without having to be far enough away. Vulcan might still struggle because of the small projectiles, but Missile Launcher "Hunter" seems like a great fit. Not to mention the the new ability for Freezing. Even if the Hopper doesn't get Stunned/Jammed, they'd still have to contend with the loss of Boosted Damage and a severe decrease in speed. As a result, there's a lot less power to fight back and very little chance to get away with the flag. In a nutshell: If you hate the FLYING HACK (@IMPULSE-WARRIOR reference), Hunter is the hull to use, along with Jamming Shot/Jamming Discharge/Missile Launcher "Hunter"/any augment that freezes.

I was discussing AP Ricochet with some friends on Discord, and I remembered a couple of clips I had made back in November 2020 while using that augment. In one of them I noticed the scoreboard and how very few people had an Immunity augment for their hull. How times change!

I have most of the augments that I want, so a little while ago I made a list of the animated paints I don’t have but want and would use. (I realized that I’m more likely now to buy Battle Passes because of the paint instead of an augment.) Magic Circles happens to be on that list, so I’ll be getting that Battle Pass. I realize that this BP is kinda mediocre in terms of augments but crystals, containers, drugs, and that paint for 568 Tankoins is still a good price. Still waiting for a change to the challenge for the final prize though. Nuclear Energy is pretty weak as a final prize and I don’t find it that useful with my main hulls (Crusader, Hunter, Dictator, Hornet)

PRO Battles are battles that are made with custom settings for maps, length/team score limit, and limitations for in-game perks/abilities (such as micro-upgrades or weapon changes). You are able to join PRO Battles starting from the rank of Warrant Officer 1 and do not have any other requirements to join. (They used to require Premium, a PRO Battle Pass, and/or to be in a clan.) Experience and crystal reward boosts that are present in regular matchmaking battles are not reflected in PRO Battles.

Nice to see that gold diggers who spam the chat and have terrible spelling are still alive and well. The icing on the cake is the fact that he just sat there waiting for gold boxes, and only got 1 kill and 2 deaths before leaving.

I actually started this battle with Striker, but I couldn't resist changing to Vampire Nanobots for the laughs.

So here’s the thing. I’m happy about the 50/70 sales, it’s a good deal better than the 50/50 sales for events like Tanki’s Birthday, Tankers’ Day, and Christmas/New Year. I’m not bothered about the lack of Special Missions and an event mode because I never expected one. I’m a little underwhelmed with the whole shop thing though. Tonight’s big bundle actually gives less than previous bundles of that price. For example, a few months ago there was a bundle with Crusader XT, 300 Ultra Containers, and an animated paint that (if i remember correctly) has only appeared in one iteration of Ultra Containers since then. Compare that to tonight’s big bundle of 200 Ultra Containers and a static paint. I think it would have been nice to have new shop-based innovations since Black Friday is synoymous with spending. I actually came up with an idea for a cosmetic/augment shop where every paint, skin, and augment (including Ultra Container-exclusives) are available for a Crystal and/or Tankoin price. I feel that something like this would entice more people to spend money on the game even without the ability to region-switch. I would personally rather to spend money to get a specific augment, paint, or skin* than buy a large number of Ultra Containers and leave it up to RNG, especially when there’s a lot of junk rewards I don’t care about. * - Within reason. I still wouldn’t spend tens of thousands of Tankoins to get a paint like those animated ones in the garage. It would have to be affordable to a decent amount of people. Maybe a couple thousand Tankoins at most.

Isida and Booster.

I hope we have more of these event modes with increased Gold Box drops because all of these Hoppers are easy kills. Who needs golds when you can farm kills and get a great reward?

???? Jammer is a VERY situational effect. Most of the time it’s meaningless, and to make matters worse, ODs charge a lot longer now. Although you main Viking, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

In touch with endgame balance and mechanics = biased, apparently...

I'd use it.

>Vampire Nanobots Damn, I really liked this augment (along with Healing Emitters) but I guess nothing stays exclusive. It's a good thing I stopped spending money on this game tbh. ETA: I think it would be a better idea to have BPs with augments that are exclusive to Battle Passes (Jamming Shot) than putting all the Ultra Container-exclusive augment in the Battle Pass. It's a better idea financially too, because you'd have people spending money on Ultra Containers AND Battle Passes. You're also not in danger of getting an augment from a Special Mission's Ultra Container and then having it appear in the next Battle Pass, leaving your efforts for nothing.

Joined the battle pretty late, I bet I could have taken 1st place if I was there since the beginning. Vampire Nanobots Isida / Heavyweight Construction Hornet / Booster

"buh buh buh don't expect to get rare rewards for free" Well, the free rewards you can more realistically get are TINY. After 18 turns, I'm still about 12 steps away from making it to the first island. I've only accumulated 2500 crystals and 3 Gold Boxes. If you cash out the Gold Boxes, that goes up to a measly 5,500 crystals. I can literally get that with two battles. Maybe 3 if I'm unlucky and join one that's already in progress. (why does this happen anyway? it's so annoying.) I only play daily missions and I've already earned 33,000 crystals. Of course that's with premium but even without premium that's still 16,500 crystals. That's ignoring Containers too! I save my Containers until the weekends when I open them, and I get THOUSANDS of Crystals. Even with two bad Containers I can get 7000 Crystals. Also, you get 30,000 Crystals from one week's supply of Weekly Containers. That blows this scam event out of the water. Now I know someone's going to mention the Batteries, the Tankoins, and the Nuclear Energy supplies. I've earned 90 Batteries so far (I haven't even gotten them on my account because I haven't even made it to the first island) which is again overshadowed by two Containers. Weekly Containers give 30 Batteries each, so there's no advantage to trying to luck out with rolls over playing like normal. I've accumulated 40 Tankoins but let's be real, playing and doing all your dailies for the same amount of time (this event lasts 24 days) gets you 100 Tankoins from the Challenge and gets you well on your way to completing the next one. And again, Weekly Containers give you 24 Tankoins per week. In three weeks (the duration of this event) you get 72. Which would you rather have, 172 or 40? I know my choice. Nuclear Energy supplies exist. They are totally useless for me. Cherry on top: I'll get these tiny rewards if I'm lucky enough with my rolls to make it to the first island. Spoiler alert: I've missed two days and my luck has been mediocre at best.

I finished the Special Missions last night. The OD mission was made (slightly) more easy by using Hornet and then pressing Shift right before dying since it has the longest retention period.

For my entry, I actually used the Halloween paint instead of the Holiday paint because they look the exact same

I'm not sure what you have or don't have (your profile is hidden), but first and foremost you should upgrade the Mk7 items you already own and enjoy using. You especially should upgrade drones, because you could have a maxed out combination and still not reach your full potential strength if you don't have a drone equipped. Upgrading your equipment quickly is also a must for any new Legends. I went through the Marshal-Generalissimo stretch of ranks with Firebird, Shaft, Hunter, Hornet, and Dictator. They were decently upgraded but still not great compared to enemies with over 9000 GS while my tanks were in the 7000 GS area. I was always at a disadvantage but with upgrading consistently, I started feeling like I was evenly matched (this happened at around 8000 GS) I wouldn't recommend upgrading EVERYTHING to Mk7 because you're not going to use EVERYTHING right now. Going up and then out is the way to go, because I have every turret and hull Mk7 but I upgraded the miscellaneous stuff after I already had my favorite turrets and hulls as Mk8s. Like all RNG-dependent items, Ultra Containers are very inconsistent. Buying them outright isn't the best thing you can do with your money, so instead I would recommend this if you are a buyer: Buy the Daily Tankoin Pass. It's affordable compared to buying 5000 Tankoins outright. Using those Tankoins, buy Battle Passes. Battle Passes are a good investment, because you get a pretty good amount of crystals, supplies, and Containers. While Nuclear Energy supplies aren't really that great, a guaranteed UC-exclusive augment is pretty good. I wouldn't recommend buying EVERY Battle Pass though. This current one is notably subpar, and you should focus on getting Battle Passes that have augments for your turrets/hulls. Coinboxes are a scam and should be avoided.

Not even most buyers, but rather the whales who buy hundreds of Ultra Containers to get Paladin/Crisis/Armadillo/the week’s new augment, and fight each other in Silence Parkour, filling the map with mines and spamming supplies. I just buy the Daily Tankoin Pass and this event is out of my depth for the amount of money required. I never had any expectations for this event and I’ll be happy to reach the first island. It is what it is.
