Okay, having spent a few hours playing the game on this test, I have thought the following.... The good changes:- Some of the changes to some aspects of some of the maps - There are still a good number of maps I have not seen yet.(Well, that was a short list) The bad changes:- Pretty much everything else I am sorry to say. The following is a list of things I really do not like. Waiting times to enter a battle - too long Finally entering a battle but with just 10 seconds remaining and getting thrown back out to select a new game (twice this morning) Playing DM battles (or any other battle tbh) to complete missions against tanks that are 6 or 7 ranks higher - I would not choose to do that unless I was drunk. I had severe lag yesterday morning (do not normally get any, or very little) but not certain if that was down to the Tanki servers or not as this morning has been okay. Lack of choice of maps that are suitable for chosen turrets and hulls for missions. Not being able to remain in a certain map on completion of a battle. I can understand to a degree as to why Tanki may have tweaked the Missions as it was open to abuse (to make mission very easy to complete sometimes) but I can't help feeling that they have used a 10lb lump-hammer to crack open a soft-shelled nut. There has to be a better solution/compromise but I am not paid to have the answer to that - Pay me well and I will ;)

I would say it is....... The mission(s) I am faced with will often determine which turret and hull I want to use for maximum effect - that is thrown out of the window unless the map option is also available. I dare say there are players who normally avoid certain maps, under similar circumstances, for other reasons too but this would be the main one for me.

I share most of the views with davidvpcol Lack of choice of which map I want to play - big backward step Often too long to get in to a battle - massive backward step Those two alone could quite easily make me look elsewhere for tank games
