I have been playing since 2015, and can definitely tell you that the grind was far more frustrating than of now. Actually, I think they are pretty different, as Wasp is pretty light, and 'tilts' a lot more in all directions than Hornet. As for Hunter and Viking being close, Viking has more speed and Hunter has more stability. Been there, done that. If your team, however, is bad, you can do nothing other than simply leaving. Not worth it to waste like 50 of each supply for a team that wouldn't even care if they won or lose. For Freeze, just don't take a close range turret and shoot them as they come at you like zombies. Do make sure you have a handy speed boost ready, so that you can finish them off while they circle you.

1. Hulls just have same health, at M3 in the same weight category. No other stats are same. 2. Overdrive is actually for those who keep saying "no skill 12345 hhh". They can compete, even if it takes about like 2 minutes to charge a overdrive, and 40 seconds lasting. And, to top it all off with a nice touch, you can share your overdrives with your teammates, yes. 3. Drones don't actually make a big difference in any battles. They are just cool looking pixels on top of your tank, mostly. 4. You can easily counter a Magnum by going up close, or just dodging the shells when you hear them (sounds should be on). As for Freeze, it was just recently buffed, and it is here in this game since July 10, 2010. 5. The points from capturing a flag actually depends on how many enemy there are. 1 enemy = 10 exp per capture. 6. I rarely found, or find now, anyone socialising in a battle. It is just plain sabotaging if you are wasting your time chatting, while you can do so much more for the team. And, most of the time anyone talked, it was "hahaha noob rekt d3s" or stuff like that, add some profanity just. To socialise, just go to General 1 chat channel and don't be salty. 7. If you do not or did not know, supplies are actually a core aspect of the game. Using your supplies efficiently is actually 'skill'. But, if you are not using any, or rarely use them at Lieutenant General, you are basically sabotaging your own team. 8. This has been said many times, but, I have to say it again (oversimplified), that rarely people play a single game for 2 years or more, let alone 5+. Plus, due to Tanki's age, and 'unappealing' graphics, along with its ageing platform, it does not appeal to the gamers of now. And the developers have stopped advertising it, or rarely do so. Still, this game pops number at 28k+ at times. That is a lot, while taking other games in account for.

can we parody a famous speech? or it has to be made from scratch?

If they wanna deep-fry, yes.

yeyy

Sure, every single one of us can record high-quality 1080p videos at 60 FPS with all graphic settings in-game turned on.

He.. 1. Funny that like 100 each go poof nearly every week (and get replenished :3) 2. And it is the cheapest kit for that rank bracket. Plus, MUing it helps a lot. 3. Whenever I am on the chats (most of the time, when celebrations aren't happening), I try to advise as many newbies as possible, to get good stuff with a plan. And even advise them to ask in What to buy? Which is better? topic. Not my deal if they do not want to read a bit, or simply ask somebody (which doesn't shame them or undermines them) like me. Most of the time, it is WOs giving crappy advices to real newbies, and them messing up. Don't know why they think that WO is a bigger rank, or are more experienced players in general, than Brigadier+.

ya sure you can come not (most of) others

@kaisdf is a newspaper candidate now

That page was linked here. Under the last section.

Nothing to look here.

If you did not know, crystal boxes used to drop (mostly) in the value of 10. With this fund distribution, and other stuff, would you really abandon a WHOLE battle just to catch 10 crystals?

I would advise extreme caution if you are going for Isida. After its selfheal was removed, with it being nerfed by A LOT, it is plain useless garbage. Except for, if you want loads of EXP, and crystals are not a problem for you. Still tho, its DPS is quite high.

Even <18 are now playing games like Fortnite and other battle royale games. And as for actual kids (below even 10), most don't have access to computers/consoles/mobiles, and even if they do, its moderated. If you ever have seen the chat in the game, you would know that no sane parent would let their <10 to play this game. Still, I'd rather prefer playing WoT than this game on consoles (not mobiles tho :3). Edit: What I said was no insult, whatsoever. I just can't believe you took it as one. And my main disagreement is with converting to ONLY mobile and console. Making a port for mobile and console is another thing, which I completely support.

good read will miss ya

I meant, "Heck of a pain to play" as, controls will be hard for those platforms.

You are comparing a far much bigger game with totally different mechanics with TO. Plus, more people play Fortnite on their PCs than those who play on consoles or mobiles. And, anyways, PC numbers AND gamers outnumber console and mobile gamers by a large margin (#PCMASTERRACE) Do take time and think about the consequences in revenue for Alternativa Platform. Edit: As for you saying that people will already have gaming consoles (expecting atleast a Xbox 360 or a PS3), why would they just play this game when there are far much better alternates for them (which will run fine, since consoles games don't really need to be optimised for a large variation of hardware) that will run butter smooth at 60 FPS on their consoles? I suggest you to take sometime before posting a single reply. Don't rage if someone disagrees with any of the stuff you post. Drink some water, cooldown and ask them as to why they disagree with you.

Lame. And, anyway, playing games such as TO on mobile and consoles are heck of a pain.

I have Titan and Smoky at 8/10 on WO1 on @Total.Skill. Without spending a single $, mind you.

Nope, I am on forums since 2015 (back then with this => @player_2015_tanker) and have seen such numbers every other day. Its just on crazy as heck events that the numbers shoot up.

Someone spending $400 on a console, and another $400 (together $800) for a nice TV won't be playing Tanki Online, unless they are one of those who think defending your Capital in the current edition of War is a good strategy.

+1 I disagree with the OP, and anyone who says this game is dead. Although, I do agree that the active numbers are pretty less, and this game IN ITS CURRENT STATE (and near 0 bugs) with some advertising will be alive and kicking $$$ into AP's wallet. Note to devs: Please just stop the updates for like 2 months and take ALL your time to fix the bugs. That much time won't hurt your economy, rather, will result in a less frustrating gameplay.

now the parkour community has to deal with arrogance, after FnF gets closed.. (no need to name, everyone who has ever wandered into parkour section knows them)

eSports Checker.... And ESL games are too late, as per your words.

Just get a good Linux distro (most are free)
