The tip given by http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showuser=376888 is not very accurate and an old-fashioned answer for the question: how would you describe mid-ranked game play? because a tanker is not useless if he/she doesn't use drugs/supplies. If you have expertise you game play and skills and if you have freaking strong and major micro-upgraded turrets and hulls (which is extremely common these days) or even an 'extraterrestrial' kit like the Anaconda kit and the Siberian Kit, it is enough for you to become a pro in the mid-ranks.

How would you describe mid-ranked gameplay? Tankers who are ranked below the mid-ranks and are approaching the mid-ranks soon would set the mid-ranks as their first aim and goal in Tanki Online before they move on to bigger ranks till they reach their final goal, Generalissimo. Before tankers approach the mid-ranks, they try to expertise their gameplay and skills for they believe that tankers in the mid-ranks are experts and pros. They would spend tons of crystals upgrading their hulls, turrets and protection modules (or paint before the update was introduced) and also buying kits and major amount of supplies. From this, we know that the mid-ranks as mild ranks has turned out to be a challenging and an 'extraterrestrial' rank. And because of this, crystal management at the mid-ranks and the bigger ranks are poor because tankers spend all of their earned profit in a day to upgrade their hulls and turrets, buy and upgrade their protection modules, and buy supplies in a very big quantity. On the other hand, tankers who have poor crystal management and poor crystal earnings before they reach the mid-ranks is actually the weak tankers you face in battles (which is actually quite rare these days). Because they have less crystals, they couldn't prepare themselves for the mid-ranks. So, as a conclusion, I would describe the mid-ranked gameplay as a challenging and vast-growing 'extraterrestrial' gameplay. How did you approach the gameplay of the mid-ranks to try and be a successful player? As I said, the mid-ranks is a very mind-puzzling rank. I learned and developed tons of skills and techniques from the advice and tips of pros since I reached the rank of Warrant Officer 1. Here is a shortened and precise advice from me. It is the main advises and tips you have to master. (Detailed advice from me can be found two weeks later in this forum.) 1. Never fight face to face with a stronger player as there are more chances of him/her defeating you. Instead, * Know your enemy's protection ability * Follow them around without getting caught * Don't keep too near with your enemy ( follow him behind from about 2 or 3 meters) Other enemies will try to defeat your targeted enemy on the way. As you know your enemy's protection ability, before the other players defeat your enemy, quickly fire at your targeted enemy. But make sure your enemy's health is critically low or low enough for them to be defeated when they are fired by you. 2. If you are going to capture a winning flag for your team, don't be distracted by falling gold boxes. Don't abandon your winning flag just for the sake of collecting a gold box. If you can't resist it, you can go in big groups to the gold box scene. Enemies will try to attack you. But don't worry. Your teammates will protect you from any harm. Just make sure you stand up for yourself too. 3. Use your supplies for only three scenes: * You are almost there to your team's flag point. You are going to capture your team's winning point. Enemies are hot behind your trail. They are firing at you massively. Your health is low. * You are trapped. You ended up face to face with stronger and massive enemies. They have surrounded you. * A gold box is dropping. To avoid you from collecting the gold box, your enemies began to fire at you. You are centimeters from the gold box. And finally, sum up your main advice for mid-ranked players in one sentence! Play safe and play smart in all battles and become a mid-ranked pro!
