Lol you quoted something I wrote two years ago

AH....ok so its not dead. Good whew...was worried.

Wait a second...was this a joke post? I just checked and tanki is still up. If you guys download the client, you can log on like normal. Maybe we should put in a bug report if the website isnt working

Ugh, so tanki finaly died...I logged in yesterday but didnt know it would be my last chance....enjoyed it while it lasted. So now that its gone, what are you all moving on to?

Id say the biggest gain is the weekly containers. At legend battles, where ppl drug the most, i get 360 damage and armor per week just by doing missions. That doesnt include regular containers either which can supply a bunch

Yes, these are the names that my friend cant translate

Ive always thought it was more the other way around....I see a player named "tanker_john" or "nate_the_pro" and suddenly they start typing in russian...like why is your name natethepro if you arent english speaking ?

x in cyrillic is "H" in english c=s n or pi=p H=n y=u 6=b tbl= a letter meaning "you plural" i think tho maybe a russian here can correct. ultimately, cton is stop and hy6 is nub....kinda funny actually i have a friend born in russia and i send him screenshots. He gets really annoyed bc he says the players arent spelling correctly and are basically using horrible grammar, but like english speakers ???

Typical interaction: Me: Who will defend with me? Teammate: cton hyyy6bl xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxax

Agreed, quite annoying....not very effective compared to others tho, sadly. Seems most bombs go off without much effect

Your best bet is to just play...learning the game takes time. Obviously learning how to drive and turn your turret are the basics, but after you learn those things, the rest just takes time.

I think it is fine if melee range turrets are considered specialist or tier2 weapons. I dont think a meta filled with fires and freezes is good, but you also want it powerful enough so that a good fire/freezer can outplay the opponents. For example, I find freeze underwelming in frontal assaults, which is how most viking/freezers use it, but when you speed it up, melee turets work as ambush or skirmish weapons, getting in behind the base and sometimes wrecking entire defenses. I personally enjoy finding those juicy shaft/magnums who forgot to use armor bc they are camping in safety

WHat changes have been made to twins recently?

I wish more ppl chose to not turn their turrets....especially at top ranks. They seem to do fine, but it looks hilarious

the fact that battles are so short means theres not a lot of incentive to play for the win. Just play and if you win, great! if not, on to the next. Also, missions push ppl into modes they dont enjoy, so they probably spend more time shooting tanks in those modes

Is there a reason these alteration target fire and freeze specifically, and then target them again?

Alrighty...an update. I've been continuing to cruise along...not playing a ton, but doing missions each day. A lot of nice players down in the low ranks. I'm sticking to my dictator even though it was weak for a while, simply because of the supplies it gives. I'd love to go wasp, but I cant afford to use supplies....barely using them currently and able to do really well. Jeez tanki gives a huge amouth of crystals now. With my beginner's pass still active and double funds, I'm getting 400-500 per battle, which means 3k per hour...which actually doesnt sound like a lot now that I say it out loud. I have only bought what I needed, so when mk3 kits come around, I should have easily more than enough

Yeah, I always want to be gracious but the MM leads to a ton of bad battles. I've suggested adding extra slots to a team that is down 3-0 in ctf, for example, so it would be 8v10 to help the losing team, which might not be the best option, but something has got to be done

Sometimes there are only tankoin kits but sometimes a crystal kit will show up

Agreed. Although hornet OD does need a tweak, five minutes is basically useless. You want a hull to only be able to use its OD 1 or 2 times a game? No....lol it would take five minutes to change to overdrive. Show me the code and i will take five minutes to balance it out.

tonight....after server restart, there should be a decently large ctf pro battle. Not sure which map, but it will be happening

It does seem weird that devs are working on bushes when small tweaks like weakening hornet a bit or larger issues like ppl with mk7 at low levels or noob maps like archipelago are left. The hornet tweak could take maybe five minutes to slow down the charge rate and suddenly we would have a fun hull that isnt oppressive

Love this. lately ive viewed them as biweekly missions. I take missions slowly and do the big one every two weeks

Let's do this again....like what? You listed someone have better cover as a flaw. I would say thats kinda the idea of battling someone. So what are flaws in the game? Ill give you magnum and hornet's OD. But list some others that arent just a matter of playing well. Edit: If you can list a good number of flaws that are oppressive for the game, like hornet's OD, then we can end this thread I think

Idk man. You listed some exploits that cant be countered. I showed how they can be easily countered by playing better....you showed how my points can be countered by better play.... Exactly my argument! Play well, and do well. For example, you you opponent has better cover, thats not a tanki exploit, thats how battle works...its your job to either go find cover or just go kill him. Another example, I've got an mk2 dictator...suuuper slow, but I rarely die to wasp bombs...i just drive away. Again, play better to counter your opponent
