The forum still struggles to recognise old account: it make you reborn as a newbie. (a fresh start!)

Look again in the details of the cost of each equipment: thttps://en.tankiwiki.com/Overview_of_the_new_MK_system For example on a First Lieutenant account I can buy today Let's look at Harvester Mk4 in the shop showcase - cost 90.1k cry Titan mk4 - 0.05k+2k+16k+29k Vulcam mk4 Protection module mk 4 Looking at the wiki I have to pay for Titan mk4 all the previous upgrade: 0.05k+2k+16k+29k => 47.05k do the same for the turret and PM Vulcan Mk4 => 77.55k (0.55k+7k+23k+47k) and PM mk4 => 49k (1k+3k+15k+30k) Total kit would be 47.05+77.55+49 => 173k Compare that against 90.1k for the shop showcase it is 52% savings and not 15%. The question is why the discount is different? If you look in the product kits details sold with tankicoins you will see that only the last modification cost is taken into account. if you do that you will have the 15% reduction. 29 + 47 + 30 = 106 => minus 15% => 90.1k. So the 15% seems low, but it will only happened if you have bought the previous MK3 kit. If you had already the previous kit for crystals, the system is indeed unfair compare to Tankoins product kit as you have to wait till the offer happens randomly and it is one rank above Tankoins product kit unlock. If you already have the MK kit below, wait for any weekend discount above 15% to buy equipment individually. Or even better wait for the big 50% discount.

WOT has many servers globally, so you will always be close and more likely to get a low ping. With TO, servers are in NL, so the further you live the worse the PING. With 3000 you are going to have weird result and 0 damage unfortunately.

i cry... More realistic? What about the respawning? For the sake of it we should be removed from the game when we die. How would you like it? ;p

today I learned that coins container can get old

What is respect? Viking gets a large butt, if you stop to chat, park on the side of the road. ?

lol, no. It was possible to do that before. As long as you do not share your password or share you laptop without logging out from tanki you will be fine. It is just a quick link.

Semantic or lost in translation?

You need to visit the shop and scroll to the top (orange background. aka showcase) where all the discount are. The set change every 12 hours, and you could have from zero to 3 product kits that you can buy with crystals (in the picture above there were 2). The rest is kit that you can buy with Tankions or other offers.

Better and simpler explanation of the game rules. Share them sooner so we can get used to them. The private faction chat was a great idea. One territory to attack and one to defend was good. Maybe a more difficult/complex map would be great. Add a mechanics that prevent player selecting to defend a territory that is not under threat. Refresh the map stats more regularly, war stat page done by @DaringDeer was way better https://tanki-war-2019-tzixbstlly.now.sh/. That guy deserve a giant cookie. Silly idea from me, maybe have a chance card (like in Monopoly) every 2 turns or when you get a key territory: example of cards option - Bad weather for the Clown faction and supplies were delayed, -20% of stars on territory X. - Earthquake in territory X, defense crumble, attacker get +10% stars bonus - Perms bank offer you 2000 stars, vote on which territory you want to add them at the end of the turn - Shortage of Petrol in territory X, all your tanks are stuck, you cannot attack/defend this territory. - Hazel Hack Gold Card! All your star are multiplied by 2 in Defence in territory X. - Marcus won the lottery and bought you 2000 stars. ...

Now, by using the Dictator and the Mechanics Drone they can further increase the fund before leaving it to the big boss. Alone the Dictator and the Mechanics Drone are not as efficient as collecting the whole battle fund.

Yes pro battle where at the end he stay and get all the fund. Little minions play full and long battle, he comes right at the end (or be part of it on a different account), everybody leaves the battle before the end and he alone gets all the fund. This is why private battle were made with very little fund, it is more difficult but you can still managed to achieve that in pro. You cannot do that in MM.

Not really, not every player is a youtuber with an army of minions

LCR is strong, but only if you are good at Railgun. Any miss is costly in time and score. I prefer myself the Hyperspace rounds. More interesting, same recharge and reload time.

Nope, they got the other way: H A R M O N I S A T I O N For new players it means nothing but for old one it meant you have been playing hard for a long time to be able to have a decent skins. TBH at the current game pace I can't bother looking at the M skin level, there is so many skins with no M level that it is not relevant anymore. I shoot at it and look for the damage value, and with the GS you can sort out the weak from the strong. After a certain amount of time the scoreboard also tells you all you need to know.

I agree with @Maf, a MM battle created only based on GS is not adequate. You can start queuing with all your M0 Mk1 equipped in the hope to trick the system. and once in battle get you shinny Mk7+. The combo choice is a direct driver to your GS in battle, if players chose a lower GS to get a specific strategy is not MM responability. So no GS is not MM related (at least not directly). I have been place in many different battle with many different GS pattern. Strong GS with noob behind the stirring wheel and weak GS with the highest battle score. MM just mix all this ingredient and stir it, team strength will vary from one batch to another, this is online game. You will probably notice more when your team loose and the gs are low on your side. If you are a skilled player target the highest GS and make hos life a misery so its OP equipment is not used to its full strength. You can play game with bots or on story mode if you feel uncomfortable with the idea of MM online.

So you have not "moved on"? Do what I tell you and not what I do.

Yes on the principle 25% for each step. Good question, and I might be overlooking something. Shop kit Chiropractor mk7 = 382.5 k Hunter Mk7 130k + Shaft Mk7 150k + Eagle Mk7 170k = Total 450k minus 15% = 382.5 k In my garage, well I can't do it i don't have enough crystals so it does't show me what I will pay for. My hunter is Mk 4-4, and I need to pay 47k crystals to get Mk 5 (which is the cost of the Mk 5). This is in line with the dev's communication that says that you need to pay for each all the intermediary Mk level. So for me Mk5, then Mk6 and then Mk7. Will I get the discount for all of them? Will we see speedup on cost too? Looking at hull cost from the wiki https://en.tankiwiki.com/Overview_of_the_new_MK_system if I start with Mk1 it will cost me 289k. So it looks like the product kit bypass the intermediary step cost. ? Is it on purpose? For hunter, 130k (shop kit price) versus 289k (garage whole price) (difference is 55% reduction), I was wrong in my previous post if the shop show the right/final price (with no intermediary Mk cost). In that case the kit product is still a very good deal! The shop misslead with the -15% discount tag but in reality is is way higher than that over >50%). Thanks for challenging and asking.

17-19K daily has been the norm for a year now.

Looks like a Victator smogun. A weird hybrid..

Yes and no depending on how far you look back in the past, so not "always the case". Around 2016-2017 it was the same rank for all, later till last week it was indeed 2 further rank below for buyers. Only in the shop. Look for them at the top, where the background is orange. You have to check every 12 hours to see if there is the one you are looking for available to buy with crystals available. the example above shows 2 available with crystals and 3 with tankions. So far I only saw 2 at the time with crystals option and often none available with crystals. With about 98 kits and on average 2 available per day it could take 50 days to get to the one you are looking for. Edit: Typical! When I just wrote the above, i have found 4 kits available (Mk7) with crystals on this account: Gustav, Buffalo, Lizard and Vandal. All at the modicum price of 382.5 K crystals (15% discount). This is good to be able to buy kit at legend, but at this discount you better wait for the weekend/special event discount and buy individually each equipment at 25%. Innit?
