And yet - you still keep dodging this... "Give me some precision so I can tell you my sentiment about them." You received a lot of specifics - are you going to respond in kind?

"His"? Who is "He"? Not you? I am asking because you did not quote anything - so - the statements appear to be from you. What the "owner wants" is not synonymous with "right for game design". They are not mutually inclusive. Maybe you want to re-read and revise it? The entire post I responded to seemed like it was taken from a propaganda document - public relations. Very odd that it might come from a player who is not also working for TO. No comments on the detailed answers you asked for? "Give me some precision so I can tell you my sentiment about them." You received a lot of specifics - are you going to respond in kind?

Never said you were - you missed my Edit.

That’s right — 50 % discount on crystals, premium, paints, kits, golds, upgrades and speedups… AND containers*. Since upgrades are done in the garage, must be for all players - I would think... Ah never mind.... those are not modules... my bad...

I find the "stock" striker actually worked decently in Pro-Battles no supplies because without the constant speed-boosts, the tanks are slower and easier to target with salvo...

I don't see it as 50%. Where were those "50%" the last 1-2 yrs? All of a sudden they decided they like the stock Striker that has been sitting in their garage gathering dust? I don't think so. Why would they drag out that stock striker now - especially after more players are buying striker protection because of the Alterations?

NO they are not. Your "opinion" smacks of Tanki-speak and is not shared by a lot of players. You work for TO? (but have no badge) Blackwasp77 summed it up best in post #112 from "Tell me what happened..."

<_< Is the garage not where the MUs are done?

50% of the alt accounts were created for power-leveling? Seems high to me. Maybe... 25%. I will perform better than complete newbies - yes. Every single game (online games, board games, role-playing games) suffer this. But my motive for creating that 2nd account is not what was proposed above "sole purpose of making overpowered accounts..." And to blame death of tanki on the creation of alternate accounts is just silly. Without the alternate account - a good chance I don't play at all. Reason? The updates over past year+ that are terrible. Match-maker does not work as intended.

There have been a lot of bad updates recently - that affect ALL levels - including Legends. Trying to deflect and say issues are on the experienced players creating new accounts is disingenuous at best. How many (%) do you think have this as their reason? Many create a new account to try out different combos - since we can't buy everything as we rank up. My alternate account bought items I never bought first time through in order to have a new experience. And lets face it, many create alt account because up in high ranks it can get boring fast. Many many posters have stated that best play has been low-mid ranks. And guess what - the latest mission changes are driving me to play my alt account way more. L account will be doing mostly Pro-battles going forward, and playing far less. So my hours in game are even at best. This is good for match-Maker how?

This might pose a problem...

If Striker stock settings were "perfect", why was it as rare as a unicorn before the release of latest batch of alterations? And after the release you see a lot of them... I do not think that is coincidence. And I'd bet 75% of the users you see today are using at least one of the alterations. They make the turret much more viable.

Actually you might be right - it IS 160 / barrel... but whether or not each barrel is out of sync by 0.27 I'm not entirely sure. And of course - if you find the autocannon very annoying I can't deny that.

Pretty sure the stats for Twin are for per barrel... so... 160x2 = 320. Every 0.27 staggered a wee bit. Smart Shaft users don't sit in open with their laser flashing for 3 seconds. Most targets are not aware of the shaft until they are hit (and most likely dead) At very long ranges smoky and thunder do not have automatic hits. Auto-aim only helps with vertical - if the shooter does not have the horizontal correct it will miss. Sure Thunder and smoky are decent at long ranges, but compared to shaft it is a mis-match. Try it on Highways and see what I mean. Smoky and Thunder can not out-duel Shaft on highways.

The autocannon does have a -66% nerf to impact... Can't possibly be as bad a twins impact - which makes light/medium hulls undriveable

If you are that far away Shaft will just scope you. No contest.

I don't think it works that way. If you do missions before the new weekly missions re-load, and don't claim them, you may lose them the next day. I believe completed (even unclaimed) missions are replaced upon server re-set. "Before" you got the same rewards (per week) that you will receive from "weekly" containers. And many, many players were already on week 10. Is Riddler your brother? Or cousin maybe?

We seem to have found RIDDLERs alternate account... <_<

To use the Fire Alt you also need a very good fire module - since Vulcan's overheating is suicide. Stock m2 modules are not effective enough, and takes a long time and a lot of crystals to approach 35%.

Thunder has splash - so you can't say it is OP up close as it will self-damage. "Weak damage" only kicks in beyond minimum damage range. For Shaft m3 that's 65m - which is ~ medium range. Heck - up to 55m it's within max damage range and that "secondary" attack is pretty much same as smoky.

Weak damage is 50% - which is very good. How does that make it "close" range?

Are you denying many of the updates adopted recently are just plain terrible? You can deny this?

Same here. I wonder how many others finished their 3 "weekly" missions mid-week of the 2nd week. Could be a lot players waiting - AND NOT PLAYING - until next missions load. How on earth is it a good idea for Match-Maker to have FEWER PLAYERS playing from Thurs to Sunday? One of their worst ideas yet.

That's why flag-capping should not count for so much more than other activities in CTF - you can't cap a flag without a team. And apparently ur team sucked - had that happen 3 times in SAME BATTLE. But... how was your score = 0 if you killed the freeze?

Balance (between teams) is one thing and is definitely needed. But there is still a problem if each side has same amount of players that are 4-5 ranks lower. Problem is for those lower ranks. Players have missions to accomplish, and they get magnitudes harder if they are competing against players with much better equipment. Trying to achieve Top-3 winning team result is way harder for a Colonel playing a bunch of marshals and F. Marshals. I don't believe they will refund crystals due to buyers remorse.
