    Music you listen to while battling

    Exactly how TO will die

    Allowing buyers to purchase kits 2 ranks earlier blows that idea out of the water.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Heh, those were also the last shot colours I've gotten and in that order as well.

    Let's Discuss Augments

    Wow, it was actually supposed to be 10%? That's not good. When they reworked Firebird, they decreased the direct damage. That decrease was too little so they decreased it again making it have the least direct tick damage of the melee-ranged turrets. It only makes sense that the damage would be increased by 50% because then if it is only 10%, then Firebird would still deal the least tick damage and DPM overall for the melee-ranged turrets. If it is supposed to be a 10% increase, what you're trying to say is that: Freeze with the Corrosive Mix alteration will beat an Incendiary Mix Firebird head-on at all times assuming they are using the same modification of the turret and the same hull and its modification. Stock Isida can beat it head-on in the same situation as above. The price for the alteration is inconsistent with Freeze's Corrosive Mix alteration. I want to believe that the increase was supposed to be 50% because it makes sense seeing that Firebird with this alteration has 6 seconds of ammo. Freeze has more damage AND more seconds of ammo in their tank. Isida has a good deal more damage but 1 second less. That one second still doesn't matter since Isida does more damage with its 5-second ammo tank than Firebird's 6-second tank. Damage dealt when fully emptying the tank: Firebird: 4,620 Freeze: 6,930 Isida: 5,000 Theoretically, with this alteration, Firebird has the least damage output for expelling their bar of ammo. IF it were to be a 50% increase and not a 10%, then the damage output after expelling an entire bar of ammo would be 6,300. Even that is still not enough to kill a Corrosive Mix freeze before itself dies. You're telling me, that Freeze has the advantage in DPM against Firebird yet their version of the alteration has a cheaper price? What sense does that make? Also, a 50% increase and a 10% increase is a BIG gap. That probably mislead so many people into buying it. It is good that Europe brought this to our attention.

    Let's Discuss Paints

    I remember the devs talking about some paint that had to do with "burn" a long time ago. The colour of this also matches the colour I remembered. Strange. :huh:

    It lays 8 mines around the one you put. It gives you the ability to put 8 mines around yours at Upgrade 19/20. The 20th upgrade literally does nothing but I think that is to trick the OCD players into spending money on crystals to upgrade it to 20.

    Hits consistent damage from far though. Sometimes though, one pellet would miss from point-blank range and I'd only do damage for 8 pellets. I still love using it nonetheless.

    Let's Discuss Missions!

    Haven't gotten the 15 Top 3 weekly mission on any of two accounts. In fact, I've gotten probably everything except that. I've gotten : 50 Overdrives 500 Kills (My first ever weekly mission) 10,000 score 5,000 crystals at some point in time. I guess I'm lucky. Let's see how far my luck takes me seeing that I have two chances to get it each week.

    Why are Isidas and Thunders noobs?

    Laziness in its most primitive form.

    Why are Isidas and Thunders noobs?

    I've had too many experiences where enemy Thunders would ram into me and shoot me. Happens more in the Warrant Officer ranks but I've seen a few in the high ranks. What if Thunders who use Sledgehammer Rounds ram into the enemy and shoot because they think the Thunder shot won't make it past 10 metres?

    Let's Discuss Railgun!

    So today, I was in a MM battle and on the enemy team, there were two M3 (Possibly M4 but it didn't matter) Mammoth Vulcans with the Incendiary Band alteration. What happened was that an enemy Railgun shot me immediately after one of the Vulcans started shooting me. The bullets apparently were hiding in the afterglow of the shot and then I saw myself getting heated. Seeing that non-fire-based turrets like Hammer, Smoky and Vulcan (to an extent) have alterations that give them fire-based attributes to their projectiles, how about Railgun getting one? Direct damage ranges would be decreased by probably 20%. Impact force would be reduced by 10%. The shot-reload time would be increased by 20%. If it is decided to keep the penetration, then the first target it penetrates would receive 3 ticks of afterburn damage. The remaining tankers who got hit would receive 1 tick of afterburn damage. If it is decided that the penetration aspect of the turret would be removed, then the target would receive 5 ticks of fire damage and the reload time would only be increased by 15% Hopefully, this would force the Tanki devs to increase the shot-reload time for the "Death Herald" Compulsator because that is a sad excuse for a con in an alteration. A 10% increase in the shot-reload time isn't even that noticeable. I bet they just wanted to give Railgun the instant reload and not the increase in the shot-reload time but they couldn't because everyone would make a big deal out of it.

    The price of this would have to be cheap, given that the penetration is what makes Railgun good against multiple enemies. Maybe about 30k crystals. The rank that needs to be required to unlock this should be Sergeant-Major.

    Why are Isidas and Thunders noobs?

    Fixed it for you so you won't upset hard working, turret turning, health restoring, life-giving, death bringing, Nanobot flinging Isidas like me. I have seen this but it's particularly with Ricochets, Thunders, Twins and Firebirds. I was just playing with a Legend who was using Isida and they weren't turning their turret. Kind of sad if you ask me. Being a healer requires more skill. It saddens me when I see an Isida who doesn't turn their turret. Just like Ricochet, Thunder doesn't require much skill given its mechanics. Plus, you get good results with it overall compared to the other turrets. Perfect for people who are too lazy to learn the game properly other than shoot in the enemies' general direction, use supplies and ram into them.

    Complaint Book

    Like I mentioned in my post, the PRO battle pass unlocks at Warrant Officer 1 so that theory is debunked. I made a slight mistake in the sentence I said it in though. I don't want to edit it for someone to accuse me of changing wrong information or anything.

    If you plan to use it for Team modes in MM battles, don't. I did it hoping it would be a good investment after weeks of saving crystals but I was met with disappointment. The lock on time is simply too long just to get 15 points, most enemies would hide behind something by the time the reticle gets to 60%. If you're planning on using it for Juggernaut, however, it is a good investment because you almost always get to be the next juggernaut with this. For now, I prefer the standard Striker and the Cyclone only for Juggernaut. Not DM by the way. I'm buying the 20k alteration for it tomorrow on both my accounts.

    Seriously, can people look into this? Now, there's a suspicious amount of low rankers (tankers below Warrant Officer 1) with more than 180 gold boxes caught. This is most likely after the 24th of December's madness. Player v7.7's rating doesn't make sense to me though, the guy only earned 61 crystals in the account's entire lifespan (I'm pretty sure with his statistics, anyone would assume he made that account maybe a month ago or recently). The guy dropped no gold boxes to indicate that he dropped it for himself. It would be impossible to drop any gold boxes specifically for that person because the PRO battle pass unlocks at Warrant Officer 1. His K/D suggests that he doesn't shoot, he only goes for golds. This is also the behaviour shown by the numerous speed hackers I encountered on Monday. He used many supplies. as you can see after looking at his profile, Double Armour, Speed Boost and Repair Kit are the most used supplies by far. Hmmm, sounds just like the minimum requirement for proper gold hunting in the meteor shower. Coincidence? Couple this with the fact he only played DM for the entirety of his account AND that the stats show that he played this week and not last week (This week started on Sunday) I can only assume that the guy ruined 454 chances for a good hard working new or alt. account player to get a gold. Obviously, I can't call the guy a hacker because I don't have proof but my complaint is that too many of these players are ruining the experience for other hardworking players in the low ranks. If the people like these are hackers, the devs need to look into this soon as the future of the game would rest on the new players' backs.

    And who are the ones who follow them to ensure they get the best results? The low and mid-rankers. I disagree that Thunder needs an alteration that increases its damage in any way but I am just one person. Maybe everyone wants that but not me. I am just expressing my opinion. Maybe they didn't do that for Thunder because Thunder is Meta and changing something to potentially make its damage output stronger may disrupt balance. Or maybe they'll do it in the future, who knows except them. :ph34r: Part of my post was also to show that people don't fully understand Sledgehammer rounds because they are getting misinformed by the Wiki. The wording of the wiki implies another parameter that is not what it actually is. So when it says Maximum range -90%, this doesn't mean it will start doing weak damage after the 10% range. It just means that you need to be in the 10% range to be able to have a chance to do the maximum damage the Thunder can do. Many people think it's the overall range when it is just one aspect of it. Also, you seem the kind of guy to give good feedback. How about giving me some feedback about me discussing the logic errors of some alterations and my feedback from your suggestions...I am assuming you read them already. :ph34r: If Tanki were to make helpers for different aspects of the game e.g. Overdrives, Alterations, Turrets, Hulls etc. then I think I would make a good helper for the Alterations section. :D

    When I'm using Hammer in MM battles, I always use Slugger. Dragon's breath is for Polygon CPs. According to the description, I'm assuming that it is meant for ranged targets that are on the same level of terrain as you, the Hammer, is. For 20k crystals, it certainly does wonders. Unpopular opinion: Slugger > Duplet

    Your worst legendaries

    Then I wish I could have sent it to you. I remember when they announced the paint coming into the game and immediately I didn't like it. I saw all the other animated paints and I liked them all except for Prodigi 2.0. However, 3 out of the 4 players I told said that Beating Hearts was the worse. I saw with it one day and I would have prefered that over Prodigi 2.0 to be honest. It wasn't the best but I would have felt more comfortable wearing it. To me, wearing Prodigi 2.0 is like wearing mud that is swishing all over your tank. It's on my low-rank account; I don't really care that much about my appearance to other tankers in the game as opposed to this account so I use the coloured paints: Red, Blue, White, Orange etc. These day's I've only been using the Black paint and I'm switching it up every now and then.

    Rugby is my favourite game mode to play. When it came out, it was the mode I would, on average, get the most score in. Plus, it is quite fun and it is very rewarding when you make great passes and plays with the ball.
