I see you guys recently made a bad update to the look of the rail shot. It looks okay from the side, but when you're shooting it yourself, it looks like a big, flat, bloated, messy thing. I'm sure it's supposed to look 3-dimensional but it just looks flat. I'm a sometimes-rail user, but I can't use rail like this. It no longer looks like a sharp, precision, penetrating needle shot. It just looks sloppy. And weirdly flat. Not rail's character at all.

When are you going to put Madness back?

True, Madness is where you get some of the most epic battles, 32 players going for 60 min, even if it's a one-sided battle people still play because there's so much going on. Not to mention it has the best jumps in all of Tanki.

Totally agree!

Please put Madness back the way it was. It is the greatest map, by far. It is sacred. I am out of here with all five of my accounts if you ruin it. You can ruin my tanks, but not Madness. Put it back.

Well if you're going to nerf M4's, you might as well make them cheaper. I'm against all of it though. But I suppose this will make it easier those with M4 to have more people who will play against them.

Palm tree leaves shouldn't block shots. Using Magnum, it happens frequently to me on Iran CP. If I'm the middle and shoot, not only does my shot get blocked by a leaf, I get damaged from the splash. It doesn't make any sense for a tree leaf to block an aritllary shot. All the other trees in Tanki are permeable. I understand having the palm tree trunks solid, but please, not the leaves.

I'm with you, it's such a waste of a map that would be great for a real CP game with lots of points.

Wow, this game's pretty cool, I might play it all week. ha.. ha.. ha... It's weird no one ever says "good game" at the end of a battle. And what the hell is this "gg" thing? I'll never buy crystals... lulz Okay, I'll just buy maybe $15 worth of crystals... double lulz Aleksandrovsk has CP mode now, sweet! There should be at least five control points, this is going to be awesome! I'm half way up the ranks, I'll be Generalissimo before I know it!!! HAHAHA

Why would it go slow?

Now there's an idea for a new map. You'd need some serious skills to capture a flag in space.

Earlier today I was playing Rio CTF, I was using Magnum, with no drugs, and on top of the buildings I shot a Viking, he didn't have shields on, he might have had speed boost, and the damage number said something like 6535. It made me look twice, it really was six thousand something. He didn't die.

Got this again. Was in Polygon, using Tanki client on Windows 10. Super Gold box was falling, on my way to it, I passed a Firebird that was shooting fire, he was invisible, but you could see the fire. Then things got funny, I got up the ramp and the gold box was sitting there but no one was taking it so I went to take it and it went through me. Everyone else went back to the control point, and I sat there trying to take the gold box but couldn't, and then I got the error message. I don't think anyone could see me, I think I was in my own world.

This just happened to me too. Was playing Serpuhov on Tanki client on Windows 10. Couldn't click the buttons, everything was locked up. Had to use task manager to close the client.

Well it seems I finally got the client working. I had tried it a week ago or so but the buttons didn't appear at the top of the screen. Just tried it again, had buttons, played a battle and it went well. So I guess I'm ok. I would prefer to play in Firefox though, if you can ever get that working again.

Same problem here, and I am using Firefox. I've been having loading problems for maybe two weeks now. There was that fix that seemed to help for a day or two as someone mentioned. But not anymore. So I cleared my cache, which maybe helped a tiny bit. But the last two days have been horrible. I've tried over a dozen times to join a battle and only succeeded once, which was yesterday.

Same here. I've played Tanki for two years with only occasional problems loading, but recently it's almost every time. Tried to get into a battle four times today, kept getting removed due to inactivity before I even got in. Gave up.

Invisible tanks, lots of them. Just played a couple of battles, finished about 20 min ago. Most of the tanks were invisible. And I don't think I could inflict any damage on them, but they certainly were killing me. I didn't hear it when they killed me either. Fire would kill me, I would just start turning red, but you don't see or hear him. Here are two screenshots of the score board, the grayed names were invisible tanks...

I've played with Magnum for a few days. I wouldn't change anything about it. You start to get a feel for it, so often you can get your first shot in the ballpark and then refine your aim from there. And it's surprisingly not bad for short distance combat. It's perfect for when you are up high and your enemy is below you, you can just lob bombs on them, no need to tilt yourself or expose yourself. It's making Noise and Silence even more unbalanced because of that. I don't see how blue has a hope in Noise any more if red has a few Magnums. It's really cool, but I could never use it for my main gun because the turret doesn't turn. But it will be fun to use here and there. The sound effects are awesome. I think the gun definitely adds to the atmosphere of the game, and makes game play more interesting, even if you're not using it.

I believe the way it works is like this... The kills only count for one day. So if you want to get the 500 kills reward, you need to get them all in one day. If you get 250 kills in one day, you will get the 250 kills reward, unless, on another day, you get 500 kills, then you'll get the 500 kill reward. So they take your one best day during the competition, and reward you for that day's kills.

Just an idea... The team that loses a battle, gets back all the supplies they used in the battle. How would it effect the game economy? It would seem that the obvious effect on the game's economy would be that less supplies get used. However, it would definitely encourage people to use supplies more often. So perhaps ultimately, more supplies would get used, or it would be about the same as now. How would it affect game play? Probably players would be less likely to leave a battle when their team is losing, because really they have nothing to lose. And teams that are losing might go extra heavy on the supply use, having the effect of evening out the battle more, similar to the way CP scoring evens out the battle because it favors the losing team. This new supply policy would always favor the losing team, thereby bringing some balance to battles. What would players think? Players would be less angry about losing, especially losing to big "druggers", because they could match their drug use. There would be less bitter comments in the forum, and players would probably enjoy Tanki more overall, because it would ease a main source of frustration. It would be interesting to try this out for a weekend, the way you've recently tried out a couple supplies experiments. If nothing else, it would be fun.

When I leave a battle and click on another battle, I get the loading bar, and it just sits there loading. I cannot click on anything else, I cannot close the browser tab, I have to use CTRL + ALT + DEL to close Firefox, and then re-open it, then I can join a battle. So basically, I have to close Firefox and re-open every time I leave a battle and want to join a new one. This just started maybe four days ago or so. Never had a problem before. I am using Windows 10, Firefox 52.0 (32 bit), cable internet. Also sometimes I've been getting a message that the Shockwave plugin is not responding. That's even happened when first opening Tanki. And this started the same time as the above problem, they are related.

You have some interesting ideas, but the day they start putting ads... I am outta here. As far as donations, they already have that, that's what the paints in the shop and gold boxes are for. Anyone who wants to donate can just buy some gold boxes.

The rebalance cut it in half already. Have a heart.

Excellent point. However, I would think Tanki agrees with you. I don't think when they say "balance" they really mean the number of each hull in the game should be equal. I suspect they have a certain target ratio in mind for each hull, like maybe hornets should be 20-25% of users and mammoths and wasps should each be 10%.
