i understand why you liked matchmaking, because you got to play with some very low rankers, but it was not good for low rankers to be playing with legends. cheating is at its peak nowadays, and i can't think of a good reason, but there are many hackers, even in the test server, where everyone has 5 million crystals, so the crystal rewards at the end of winning or even K/D don't matter there, but still people cheat. yes, tanki is definitely less fun now than an year ago. my main problem with matchmaking now is the excessive loading times and the large brackets. fix those, and im ready for the matchmaking update.

ricochet is a beast of a turret when used properly. i had rail m2 8/10 at brigadier on my high account, + high calibre, and its great for DM if you have lots of DD and RK, but its not that good in CTF or CP mode, plus it is decent only on the largest maps. Ricochet with the m1 alteration is just awesome in non-pro battles, but you will have to use supplies. Without supplies all turrets are bad. When I play in test server, ricochet is usually my preferred choice of turrets. I've tried almost all turrets in the test server, along with their alterations, in non-pro battles, and I'd say twins is best, then ricochet, then smoky, and then magnum or firebird or isida, depending on the map. rail and thunder have too many modules against them. keep an eye on the test server test.tankionline.com, and try out ricochet if its open, with the m1 alteration, and i can promise you that its impressive, performs much better than rail.

railgun is strong, especially with the high calibre, the only reason it feels weak is because of excessive protections against. i think m4 protection should be 35% maximum. also, with the arrival of magnum, more people will be opting for magnum protection in future, and less railgun protection, so maybe railgun will get better in battles.

hehe if you drive into a point enemies will drive out of the point faster than you. the destroying touch will be useful only for gold boxes but i still think the invincibility is good.

Get the ricochet kit (dictator one). Full MU it and it will be good till Marshall. Dont forget the m1 alteration too. Ricochet is much stronger than rail due to fewer protections at higher ranks.

Client: Click Play and it loads for a bit, and then Server Connection Closed. Click here to re-enter the game. Then I re-open client, and same thing happens again. But it never happens if I join a half-filled battle. Mostly when I click Play for the last vacant slot in a team, i guess their server gets confused because it gets a request for the same slot from other players as well, and then closes my connection. But all the battles are mostly full after the update.

these guys have their pages on RU forum, like http://ru.tankiforum.com/profile/2689-ikpa6uk/ for the last one, but these pages don't contain links for their game profiles.

okay post the names of existing ones whose links you do not have i will try to find prevention is better than cure :P

on the forum if you write {member="Gabe2607"}, replacing { and } by [ ] you will get a link like @Gabe2607. The corresponding link (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showuser=526505) remains same I think, even if nickname is changed, so if you keep track of those, then I don't think they can escape easily :ph34r: For the Russian druggers, you might have to use RU forum to get their links. Those that are gone now, wont be easy to trace, but I dont think you shouldn't lose anymore if you do this.

server connection closed as soon as i hit play also, we urgently need a rank filter or rank ordering of battles.

hmm... you said you mostly play in non-pro battles because you don't see much variety in pro battles. MUs will benefit you a lot. i had a friend http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/PhatDawg/ who used shaft mammoth from m1 all the way till m3. He had no other combo till Marshal, and just full MUd stuff, and he performed quite well in battles because of those MUs.

lol you come across as a very jealous person .. besides he can still play wasp fire in pro battles with his friends in no supplies battles. boooooooooo!!!!

did it ever occur to you that this guy is a buyer? he spends real money on this game, and what difference does it make to you how he gets his crystals? He could have purchased them from shop, and got a stronger garage, and will you still complain that its unfair?

:( :( :( they gave 50% MU sale on tankers day, and one a few weeks before that (both after the MU update), and i regret not using those :mellow: :mellow: i hope they give 50% MU sale soon again..... on second thoughts I might as well use this 25%... waiting for 50% might take too long.

im waiting for 50% MU sale, whenever they come

forget the paint. 2000 kills in non-pro now should be extremely time consuming. play pro battles, earn crystals and buy some good garage paints if you really like paints.

good idea i will try next time

whatever it is, its a fault on their side, and they need to fix it. i will have to ditch this account soon if i keep gaining exp but not crystals. thanks for opening test server btw :wub: :)

This is happening too many times: I enter a battle, and halfway through it my turret stops doing damage. I can collect boxes, use supplies, kill enemies during mines, but turret does no damage, even with normal green ping and fps. Throughout the remainder of the battle, turret does no damage. Self destructing or going to garage does not help. Then when I quit the battle and join another, the turret starts working just fine. But I have lost a lot of fund because I've had to leave battles halfway in between. And it looks as if you guys have reduced the battle kick time without informing us, because I get a server connection closed message, and Im back in 20 seconds, and find that I am no longer in the battle. More fund lost.

Im not ashamed, i have a warning point on the forum for using the word 'stupid', and stupid is not even abusive, and you can type it even in the battle chat, and it is not replaced by *****. Check out my ratings page, and try to copy my stats without turning your turret, and you will see my skill. Notice particularly my supply usage and K/D and exp / hour ratio. Capture flags and finish first require excessive supply usage, and even after that, there's no guarantee that they will be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Thats why I think they should be removed. Immature people like you do not deserve to be helpers.I am not the only person in this thread who wants those missions to be removed.

if you read my previous post, i said in large font to keep the collect box missions okay? and i never said anything about the earn exp, capture points, destroy enemies missions. looks like you lost you brain along with your press helmet..

got a finish first mission, swapped, got capture 3 flags instead. tried to capture flags, but then i get 999 ping as soon as i take flag. next thing i knew flag had been returned. there is so much lag in these big maps, my turret many times does not do any damage. this is the first time on this account that i have had to log off without completing all 3 missions.. #remove capture flag mission

Remove the Capture Flag mission because when Overdrive comes, we can't take flag if there is an invincible mammoth (or 2!) sitting on the enemy flag, with isidas healing them. Do not remove the collect box missions, because they keep my chain alive.

Incorrect. Crystal / experience ratio does not matter much for legends, so there is no harm for them in gaining fast xp. more xp = fast rank up = good rank up rewards. Besides, the whole of tanki is about power leveling. You shoot somebody, he shoots you back, first one dies, then another. Fire wasp is just a fast forward way of that same routine. Yes, in future I will click change for the Finish First Mission, but when the reward is big crystals, I don't like turning it away. I'm from the era where I used to make 1 vs 1 Ping Pong ctf for these missions, which is what gets me frustrated with these updates that keep making missions difficult.

can you remove capture flag mission when the unified list comes in because its very hard for many of us to capture flags in full battles? or maybe make ctf 4 vs 4 ?
