    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    I tried with Twins Heavy Plasma, and at least one Striker gave them a few shots too, but I didn't stick around after that. I have no real urge to waste time playing against arseholes.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Not seen this before - 4 x Mammoth Isidas in a loop around the flag. No way to get the flag off them. Or kill any of them. That's just not sporting. Also, for 4 players to be that organised? Nah, there's your proof MM's letting whole clans in. FirizLegend 4 SimPle.BoYLegend 54 BlackLegend 9 Double.ShotLegend 18

    [Merge] This is really unfair

    The only one I'd want is one that's like the old Jumping Jack firework from the 70s. If you were a kid in the 70s UK you'd remember that damn thing chase you round the garden. God, nowhere on the map would be safe. Especially for the enemy. My kinda drone. :wub:

    [Merge] This is really unfair

    Batteries get used at the rate of 1 per minute. So that's 7 in an average battle. Two days of battles will burn up those batteries. And then what? No, Tanki. I'm not buying more batteries. Or a drone to put them on. Period. At some point in the future, Tanki thinks I would buy a drone and batteries would be useful. Not gonna happen. Think again, Tanki.

    They have. It's now the Christmas holiday paint.... with butterflies. :P Altho I wish we could buy that lilac flowery one above. I am starting to get the opinion that Tanki's new paint-designer is none other than Stevie Wonder.

    Thanks. I did that, and only posted it in Wiki as Hate suggested here http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=379326&page=19&do=findComment&comment=6681375
  10. Sort of reminds me of this player. Cracks me up watching it.
  11. I have discovered that quite often dropping a mine when firing (Twins) suddenly gives you a bit of extra DPS for some reason. Found it by chance when I was taking on a Firebird head-on, was going to die fast so put it in reverse and dropped a mine hoping he'd run over it, but I was surprised he died before he even got to the mine. I should've been dead. So now I routinely drop a mine if defensively reversing and firing and it does seem to work, oddly.

    How come? Tanki should get their finger out and get you the images sooner, esp considering they have so many people working there. I got the images from the challenges panel where the missions are, and just Print-Screened them (25 in total, as I grab them in pairs). The only constraint here is I can't see that until the Challenge actually starts, but no reason not to have the image (like the ones I posted) probably later the same day the Challenge starts. It may not replace the format you already use, but it might be a useful addition as it gives an instant reference for the prizes. The longest part is copying bits of the print-screenies into a psd file template, which takes 30-45 minutes. The way I've done it is create a psd template, the bottom layer is a previous month to use as a template, post in new tiers from the screenies in layers. A top layer can contain the stars and amount needed till next - and you only need to do that once, as it will be the same for every month thereafter. The only thing you have to do when the challenge starts is edit the layers that contain the tier prizes. What I'm having problems with - which I hadn't intended to include when I started it - was the stars earned, and the stars to next tier. I tried adding the stars earned in yellow to the left of the Tier number, and a score to the next tier in red to the right of the Tier number but it could be confusing without something to show what those numbers represent in all languages and really needs some sort of logo instead of the word "next" so that anyone can understand it. Here's what I mean, in the top row. Better download, as image loader in the forum is terrible. https://postimg.cc/6yfB8mTL The psd file is here, so you can compare how I've done it. http://www.mediafire.com/file/ebneud2c3ree8ku/Challenges.psd/file

    Update - Changes to turrets and alterations

    Number of players using Viking is not an indication of anything, let alone anything to do with being overpowered. Maybe it's the only mid hull people have got? I'd happily use Hunter or anything else that doesn't get me killed, but 200K+ and another 450K+ to MU it, I'm stuck with Viking regardless.

    Yes, it needs star amounts added, which isn't an issue. No, doesn't take long to do - half hour at the most.

    Tanki could easily fix the downturn with a few simple edits: Remove MM It's flawed and solves nothing. Clans and hackers are still getting in, and all it's done is alienate players universally. Change cost of garage purchases Cost of hulls and turrets is ridiculously high, compared to the amount of crystals it is possible to earn. Change module upgrade cost and time Even if you accrue the required crystals, it then takes three months to upgrade that item. This is a disincentive to upgrade. Keep Mobile as a separate entity All the stupid updates and changes (shorter battles, fewer & smaller maps) have been made with Mobile in mind. Before trying to gain new customers, it's not good business practice anywhere in the world to get rid of the customers you already have. Listen to your customers Instead of ignoring them.

    Is this a better way to see what's on the Challenges than the wikipage, where you have to scroll halfway down the page before you find the prizes? February 2019 Fullsize (readable download): https://postimg.cc/qzz3ZKZP January 2019 Fullsize (readable download): https://postimg.cc/Y4QKT1Ks

    It would be nice to be able to blame all of Tanki's problems on MM, but it's not just MM is it? Stupid updates that happen too often and don't actually fix anything, just bring more problems into the game Mobile, which now everything is geared towards - short battles (and now even shorter battles), homogenised (small) maps, small teams (remember when we used to have teams of 20 a side?). Merging of servers, so now we have teams that don't speak the same language, so no one talks. And there's no teamplay. Apart from the Russians, who are everywhere and can organise themselves with impunity. Clans. Apparently MM stopped this happening, but I've been in battles and had 3/4 people from the same clan in the same battle. Oh, before anyone says clans don't get past MM, nor do hackers..... and those are still getting in. Constant nerfing of the product you bought, and buffing others as an incentive to move to that turret (ie Hammer and Duplet) Nerfing of container prizes, now it's pointless even winning them if the prize is 125 mines. And due to this, even Weekly Missions are now pointless. Nerfing of Sales discounts. MM is one problem, but it's not the cause. Take a look at a v-log. Have a look at how many staff in the background in them. That's the reason for all the bad things in Tanki right there - too many staff, not enough money coming in to pay them, so Alternativa will do anything except sell their mothers to get more money coming in and less prizes going out. I'm not even that sure their mothers are safe. This is the first week I looked at the Missions panel and thought "Sod it." The prizes are not worth the supplies it will take to get them. The battles are no longer any fun to take part in, for the sake of something to do, to enjoy. So this week, I'm not doing one single thing in Tanki whatsoever. Nothing. It's find-something-else-to-do week for me. I left in May last year when MM came in, came back in December to give Tanki another go. But it's more broken now than it was when I left.

    Your Opinion about tanki

    Opinion about Tanki right now.... it sucks.

    This seems to be a very new thing. Just been in a few battles and they're all endng stupidly early. Even other players are complaining in battle chat, so it's not just me. Probably THE worst thing Tanki has done, even worse than MM and that's saying something. Curse the day they brought in mobile, because that's clearly what it's aimed at. If Alternativa really wanted to get rid of all its pc players, this is it.

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    I don't understand why battles are ending early. Just been on a Year 2042 CTF, changed turrets with 2m26s left on the clock. Spawned and the battle ended before I could move. Why? edit: It wasn't a lack of players - it was 7 or 8 each side.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Uh, if I didn't buy it three days ago at 30% off what makes you think I want it now at 25% off? That's a no.
