Yes, most are Russian buyers with crazy names 6eBjytl_0rygh-adj_MjU (names like that, I just made this one up)

Only 34k players online now, whereas usually it used to be 40k. I want to play, but I'm not playing because I don't have the supplies to take down them Russians. I tried playing on this account, as well as my 3rd Lt. Alt, but the Russian buyers and druggers are in all battles now. Have a look at http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/CTPAHHUK-01/ A 3rd Lt, with only 62 hours in the game, has used more supplies than me, who has played for 642 hours, and I am several ranks above him. I can give you 100 more examples of similar and even worse Russians. More and more players will leave the game now, especially people who invested in a lot of m1s, and don't have enough left for good higer equipment. Not all m2 rails are noobs. I've seen some of them top in Legend xp/bp battles.

Here are my observations: 1) Lag is excessive 2) Russian druggers everywhere 3) Russian clans in pro polygon battles (non xp/bp) - 4 join together in each side, then 4 on one side (mine) leave when the fund is good and then some noob captain rankers join with wasp rail m1. #3 irritates me most. Edit: 4) As usual, critical errors, one every 3 minutes.

I will be quite happy if this doesn't get implemented. Too many of teammates stop play and choose to engage in long never-ending name calling games with opposition players in an intense Polygon CP xp/bp battles. Chat less, focus on the game more.

Lets reserve the last 10% servers for missions please. Help each other out.

If a dictator gets partially flipped, ie lying sideways, is it possible to get upright using recoil of railgun? With viking I can do it.

Minotaur is better.

1. People won't leave the battle if the fund is high. 2. You will receive several critical errors, and get kicked from the battle by the time you re-enter. (This happens with me atleast)

Rail can kill wasp in one shot (1.1 seconds). So can shaft. Does that make rail and shaft also OP? Just don't use wasp in supply enabled battles.

If you can rank up to Captain by June sale, then get m2 rico/rail/thunder and hunter/dictator. Don't buy viking m1. If you can't rank up, then only option is to buy m2 kit. You will need a medium hull kit. Minotaur, Northerner, Simoom are all good.

I think its a good combo, but you won't be getting a lot of flags for your team. I used mammoth rail for a while, but viking rail suited me better - you can get to the supply drops quickly - that helps. Plus you can quickly move away if an enemy has both DA and DD activated.

Sorry, but I think that has changed now. Somebody posted a screenshot where he had to pay full price for Thunder-Hornet m3 kit, when he had fully MUd his thunder hornet m2. I can't find that topic though.

Go for Ram or Atlas kit.

Space it out please, leave blank lines after every paragraph.

Discounts are definitely worth waiting for, if you rank up slowly.

Minotaur, twins m2 is insanely powerful.with self damage removed. Just don't play on very large maps.

No, kit prices are fixed. I have viking m3, not m2 10/10, but real m3, and I need to pay full price for Raiden Kit, I don't get the viking m3 in it for free.

Players from my winning team again started leaving. I found the reason. Some guy from the other team uses drugs against them, and some players are too soft, weak hearted, they don't hit back with drugs, and choose to leave. Very annoying for the guy who is finishing first in the losing team.

Thunder m1 is better because of its excellent range. The self damage to twins makes it weak.

Trick or no trick - they won't change things to the way we like. I actually prefer the new system though - just buy 1 MU in each MU sale, without buying speed ups.

No offence meant, but you got lucky that you had m2's in your team, and other team had m1s mostly. The amount of crystals you have at that rank is truly remarkable. I guess you're saving for the June sale to buy m1s. You shouldn't play against people with very ranks - for their sake.

I often use a lot of supplies early in a control points match, and try to build a good lead. But then if I notice that the other team has good players, and my team is filled with people having poor equipment, and they have no intention of taking the CPs, then I leave within 5 minutes. No point getting frustrated at noobs in my team - leave them to fend for themselves. They leave pretty soon too, so that might explain what you have experienced.

no

Well that profile shows me premium paint owned, which implies buyer, which implies not a free player. Saving for m3 kit allows you to have m4/m4 by Marshal. Kits below 350k or 400k are still worth it. Some have decent modules too,

Well, I've seen Mammoth Firebirds top their team in no supplies Polygon, so fire - dictator is definitely not a terrible idea.
