It depends , i used premium before and it does bring a lot more crystals , besides the 75k /month , you also double up on every single game you play , so the more you play , the higher the benefits . You can plan a ranking up by the time next big sale comes , which you normally couldnt have done ( and have the crystals to buy the new equipment ) . It also brings you a daily amount of drugs more then you can use ( in my case ) .

For the 2 maps mentioned , out of the choice you give , i recommend twins . Havent played a lot of silence lately after the reformed twins , but in noise i say twins are very good weapon . Rico , plenty of them around , but you still run out of bullets in heavy maps like noise . Distance in noise makes it a better choice . Rico is a save weapon , can be used in all occasions , and might be better in silence . Striker , hmm , not the best maps for it . I like striker , but in noise its almost unusable (there are exceptions , playing top team and launching from the shed left side of map onto the middle ) . Striker got good splash and fast reload , if you do have the experience with the weapon it just might be a fantastic choice , but in most cases no . Yes magnum protection is needed . Especially in noise , magnum is a beast and always a thing to have in your team . Since its m3 lvl , i'd say watch your modules . A heavy hull with 50% protection doesnt fear for magnum , but it does fear freeze . Freeze is very powerfull in close range battles and its a serious pain in the a.. for every attacker .

Thx Nives . As long as i visit the forum you were here . I hope you keep on playing ,i know you are a parkour player , but that doesnt matter . You certainly did a good job . byebye .

No its not garbage . Freeze is my worst enemy , it stops my titan at instant . More people got fire protection instead of freeze . Freeze was not the most popular weapon a while ago , when freeze and fire did have the same damage . Now there are prob more freezes around in battles then fires . Corrosive mix , its a alt so its extra . But its a very good this if there are fires in your team , since you only do damage , and not have to worry about turning the effect of freeze by the fires or you turning around the afterburn effect .

Hmm , rico balance made it more shots and shorter range . Twins update make it more or less same range , with unlimited shots . I would be surprised if still loads of people use rico instead of twins . Vulcan was 1 of the weakest turrets , and probably the weakest since i do not know a weaker 1 . Thats why you do not see them a lot , and that is a fact .The stronger and more versatile a turret the more used they are : ricos , twins , thunder , smoky and in lesser amounts magnum and smoky . Isida is also used quite a lot since you def need 1 in every team . Freeze and fire are used only in short ranged maps , but not a lot in others . Striker has improved with latest upgrade , but aiming is still problematic . It does make up for it partly due to its large damage and fast reload . Vulcan needs more power ... its damage per second is still like 10% too low . Latest change the upgraded it little but they decided that they needed no nerf a lot by rotation speed and spinup time .

Ok , agreed . But it doesnt mean its OP . Its 1 of the weakest weapons around , but it makes up for it because of the lack of modules and not many people using it , so most of the time im the only vulcan in battle so even if they do got the module , they do not fit it .

You got to be joking right ? Vulcan is only strong because the lack of modules around . I dont know how experienced you are with the vulcan since you are responding with red star account which can only be m2 10/10 but i can tell you for sure that anyone with protection i cannot kill him . Maybe a small hull , but a medium hull with clean firing angle and 50% overheating protection will not be possible to kill him , before i die from overheating ( M4 titan ) , or others coming for me . In JGR mode it is ok , since you can kill the JGR with 1 single bullet if he gets multiple people jumping on him . Your 1 small bullet just does the trick to kill him , but that doesnt mean its huge damage. .

The old paints are nicer then the new ones . Sure i use some of the new nowadays , since with the containers i got a bucketload full of paints , many i will never ever use . I remember Tundra , Winter , Storm ... and many others and looked out for some special paints like Moss ( i know i did ) which were not cheap , and could get only from certain ranks . I have to admid , now theres a lot of different paints in battle while before there where only a few paints in battle. Now paints are nothing , really nothing , while before since they where not that cheap , they were something special . Something like the Rolls Royce flying lady , or the staggering horse on a Ferrari . It didnt make the tank , but it could make your tank stand out .

Stupidest thing today ... trying to find a good battle with less the 3k people online in server . Within 1 month i think the 20k mark isnt reachable as peak on some days .

Raiden is really nice now , since the rebalance . Thunder now good some serious force back . Im not the greatest lover of viking , but it is one of the most popular hulls around and its very versatile ( same like the thunder , thats why its a good kit ) . Very nice pricing range also . From the Raiden and the Cardinal kit , you can nicely build further on ... meaning you got 2 size hulls , and 2 weapons , 1 with splash damage . Twins loses a lot of its attraction due to the modules around , and the reform of the rico ( but theres now even more protection for that weapon ) . At M2 lvl the smoky is OP , but its not so big power in M3 , advantage is that not so many modules are around . You hear me talk all the time about the modules and theres a good reason for it . At M3/4 lvl , modules make or break your weapon . The trick is to use the turrets which got less protection for it in that battle , since 50% off is a lot damage reduce . You got a good base to build further on , and imho the thunder is better then the smoky .

My goal is to have all equipment m4 . Drones not included . Before i wanted to play esports , but the fast declining player rate and my working hours changed my mind . Idk when i will reach it but i got atm 6 M4 2m3 weapons 2 m4 2m3 hulls 5 m4 2m3 modules So still a while to go but i got some nice crystals in bank for next sale .

august 2016 till now , and still active playing .

Bettle time decrease , well from 10 to 9 .. just the same . The difference came from 15 to 10 mins where suddenly all battle tactics are out of the window , MM , i said it when tested 1.5 y ago , and i said it when implied , I predicted to see nr of players reduce fast after and the game to be over by Xmas- NY , So far i have been right , but probably they just will keep it alive , for the few remaining players . Now they do star week after star week in the hope some people will join in to keep the game alive but it will wear of soon . They also made the M0 in 20 steps to M1 , all in order to have new accounts coming in and stay playing . The single biggest flaw is the MM part . I went to the Russian forum ... since it is the biggest community and google translate helping me to read , and you will see which topic comes out on top ... +500 pages on MM allready and still active and they are not happy campers .

Most of the time im lucky , theres not so many people having/fitting against vulcan ( my main weapon , and weapon of choice ) . Yes there is occasionally 1 and if i can i try to avoid it . On the occasions i use another weapon , most of the times its special battles were i can use the splash or just the brute force . I m now in the lucky position where i can choose my weapon , in order to avoid many protection modules . You do see a lot less firebirds in m3/4 level . 50% does a lot , and im fitted with it all the time due to overheating issues . Firebird m4 is strong but i do not fear it at all , since the 50% does the trick . Difference with the snowblower ... im terriffied of it , I do got protection but it isnt 50% , and i feel like it does something but not even close to what every other protection does . It stops my movement , so even if im not diying , i cant do anything .

If i'm correct , JGR is not DM mode in form of points . In DM you get 15 points per kill while in JGR you get 10 /kill . So 6 might do it for DM , while the 8 kills in JGR is not enough .

Well , since containers are pretty easy to get , they cannot put valuables in all containers . 1 clanmember got the largest crystal haul from 1 ( i believe it was 300k ) , and on my other account i had a wasp xt ( i do not have wasp ... ) . Occasionally i got GB , or 25k crystals , or even the rare premium 3days . Most of the time its regular stuff like supplies , but its the box opening which is fun and you might just get good stuff .

Tanki is not a bad game , if you think of any reason why it is bad then you are in a wrong spot and why do you play a bad game ? Are there bad points , yes sure , like all games have good points and bad points .

1 low system requirements , even very low end or old computers can play it . 2 low player requirement , easy to understand and start playing . About all ages can play the game 3 Just plain fun . Drive around in a tank and kill other tank ... and if you get killed , just repeat .

True , but this 1 didnt have and i specificly stated : not to go along with it if the players do not like it . It is the biggest posting ive seen , i forgot how many pages ... and on the Russian forum you can double that amount of reactions to it , and the reactions werent cheering on how they do like it . The simple fact that most modern games have it doesnt say anything , if most people jump of buildings , doesnt mean i have to jump also . Its a fact that they lost players due to it , in a allready declining game .

I do not see it going on for 5 or 10years , or let me rephrase that : this game is a declining game and not a growing one . It will still excist but on smaller scale and newbies will be rare . It will be the same like a game i played before ( travian btw ) which at the time i was playing had like 10 servers in 1 country alone , all with upto 25k accounts . Now the game is still going on but on much smaller scale and less servers off course . there will be a hardcore crowd which will never leave unless they take it offline and there will be some new people but maybe 1 out of 100 might ever be make it to legend and stay . I see it even now , i know more and more people which i play with nearly on daily basis and not because they in friendslist . Its just that its 1 of the few 100s in my rankbracket which are online and playing . As im writing this , roughly 3000 people are playing and thats all ranks all people together . I tried to go in a DM before on lower acc , since i had mission but i couldnt get in ( waited 4 or 5 times 2mins ) , so im guessing just no people playing . I do realise that this is part of a game in general , but they need to stop this like MM if people do not like it , they lost players with it and quite a few imho .

150 people in meeting , even with bad weather that is just ridiculous nr . Idk last years nrs , but i hope they were at least 1500 people there , I cant believe they are happy with 150 people , bad weather or not ( after all , its not a hurricane/ typhoon ) . To be honest , if 150 people show up , they really have to think about having a gathering at all .

There are many good maps for vulcan if you know how to use it . If you encounter spawn killing , vulcan was never the best , but now its horrible for it , you are certainly dead before firing 1 small bullet . Vulcan needs room ... my biggest fear in all battles are freezes , but freezes fear room , so in fact its exactly the opposite like freeze ( 100% opposite if you think about it ) . I use vulcan as my main weapon , as i told many times here , and my nrs are very good , and even much better after the change . Thats because i reversed their change of turret rotation by taking the alt which decreased my shooting angle vertical but my turret can move fast enough left to right to follow enemy tanks without moving my tank . I have to admit ... and even the developers must be aware of it , the reason why i like vulcan , and why i can still use it and get good nrs is the lack of people using it and the lack of modules around . In general : turret vs turret , vulcan is weak . Its because many protections around that the vulcan becomes very attractive . A rico or twins is no match for my vulcan in most cases due to my protection which they do not have ( or equip ) .

Buff on striker , oh yes ... my m4 will come out alot more . Buff on smoky . Thats a bit odd , since its mighty strong allready ... but its a bit of forgotten ( overlooked ) weapon . Im not complaining ... my 2nd acc got m2 10/10 and when i play with it , i regularly get complaints about how OP i am . This will not change i guess haha . The thing is , ricos and twins were OP long time so many many people got this ( hence the widespread modules ) , now i guess theres a whole lot of weapons which you can use , and personally i think now that if you are good with a weapon , you will get rewarded for it . Even so for the ricos and the twins since people will switch modules .

Got it on my 2nd account , on a hunter . There the startup time is more of a issue due to playing style , but i can still take care of myself . If you are talking overheating ... well the only problem is that now you certainly need fire module , while before it was usefull . I dont get what the developers say that now its better for small hulls , i find its just the contrary . The spinup time is soo long that you are having more difficulty playing as a agressive weapon ( small hull ) .

Last couple of days i find it funny to say when anybody asks for PLS drop gold ( or similar ) , to respond with : drop rubber . Then it looked really funny if that actually would be rubber , bouncing all over the playing field . Coming in like a meteor speed , and then bouncing around , To get it you need to be somewhere in the line where it is , and touch it ( like with all other ) . Maybe something for 1 april ? .
