I kinda get the feeling some of us are trying to have a profitable conversation and yet theres this dk measuring contest going on between. Would you two please move to pm? Pretty please?

This is a very good goal. Make sure you get things right, when you do that. Put together a proposal with an accurate view of f2p position and then put it forward. I'd 100% support that ?

I'm not here to criticise your other accounts but compare your flaw account to your Link one. Im assuming your link is much older than flaw? It has way worse equipment than flaw does because tanki was a lot harder on everyone back then...now your account is really good. Maybe you spent money, idk but flaw is a really good account. Things are so much better for f2p ppl now than they were years ago

Bruh....ugh. You have a k/d of 4 and m3's at Lieutenant Colonol (2 red stars)...I think you are doing fine. If you are f2p, you are an example of how generous tanki is, and how great free to play players have it in tanki

This sentence is great. I am glad they are monetizing skins....that new vulcan is $99, which is equal to like 20 people buying a week of premium, and doesnt change the game. Monetize skins and other cosmetics, so players with excess funds can make their account look cool, while f2p (free to play) ppl arent put too far behind. Right now, I think the only thing that f2p ppl dont have a lot of is batteries. Drugs are very easy to get, and I am actually liking the new mk system, once I realized that buying kits lets ppl skip all those levels

container...we can do this all day if you want. Dont ever buy paints...its a waste of crystals. I buy battle pass, mainly so i can get batteries, and sometimes premium bc it is cheap

Alright lets get off this conversation and have the hornet vs wasp convesation instead. I do think hornet has the best OD in the game, that being said, I am beginning to think that with shaft, the two hulls are very even, and here are my reasons: Hornet's OD works best when facing a lot of protection...shaft typically doesnt face a lot, especially at lower ranks. Hornet's OD works best when you can deal tons of damage quickly, like with Fire up close or gauss...Shaft might get some easy 1shot kills but its oveall damage is a lot lower over time than other turrets. Vulcan for example, does way more damage to a clump of tanks under a dome, than shaft. I like wasp's handling better. It is smaller, and moves better. Others may disagree. Wasp's bomb is kinda noob but can be useful in battles where enemies are clustered. Feel free to disagree. Facing a hornet shaft with its OD active is scary, so I'm acknowledging that both are solid

I dont....spending money gives an advantage of course, but the f2p economy is very generous. I have several f2p ppl in my discord who have good accounts. The new mk update has actually helped f2p ppl out by keeping anyone from having equipment too far above their competition

You don't need to buy the battle pass to get rewards

I think this thread is mostly ignored bc it would be hard to implement and might make pro battles unable to be joined for certain players. I hate mag, but imagine being a player who finally buys that m3 mag kit and then finds that every pro battle restricts mag...no pro battles for you. An argument could be made for designing a new format like xpbp where certain rules were implemented. Plasma format, or critical format are both interesting esports formats that I wish would be implemented into the game. Might remove xpbp as the only non standard battle format.

Really good write-up...thanks. Well thought out

You are saying that Vulcan can be used as a short range turret? What exactly does that alt do...is it like light caps?

I tried Vulcan Hornet today and...man its beast. Obviously it dies easily, but that overdrive combined with Vulcan's high damage means kills come quickly.

Yes well said, and actually the new mk system makes it so that at high levels you will automatically have 6-7 different protections. An mk1, mk2 etc. i didnt realize how kits let you skip all those levels and get stuff for cheaper

Not to dampen anything but is this combo good or is it just an experienced, good player wrecking nobs. Have any ppl played at m3/m4 ranks and had good success?

While we are talking about alts, I think I'd rank them as follows: 1: Light Caps--I play this even with titan/mammoth now. Allows me to stay out of scope mode and be observant of the battle field. With wasp/ hornet, getting those quick shots off is amazing. 2: RFM--I get good scores with this, but it turns shaft into smoky, requiring it to get closer to the action, and take damage. I have it at 2 because attacking will on average help the team more than camping with bigger alts or stock. 3: Short Band--Idk how this is functionally different than stock. Yes it can 1 shot some hulls etc, but in the end, idk if it plays out differently 4. Mult 5. Heavy Caps--Dont play this....sitting in scope mode essentially means you arent helping your team, and the extra damage will tend to be wasted if you use DD

So, following up on my previous post, yesterday, in ONE battle, this twins viking kept ignoring everyone else to chase after me...probably bc i was a wasp...I may have dropped 3 bombs on him, so...don't think he was very happy. Got him every time

Agreed. Not sure why going to the garage takes so much longer but occasionally Ive goofed and gone to the garage at the wrong time and takes soo long to load

Id say its not p2w that is a problem...tanki is super generous. What Ive seen that is the problem is high level players creating alts and ruining the game for new players. When I see a lower level player with a kd of 3...that person is absolutely ruining a new person starting tanki

If you are talking best turret in the game, shaft is certainly not it. I cery rarely see a shaft at the top of the board in legend battles. mag, gauss, hammer? Absolutely all the time. But thats kinda how I like it...use a turret that others dont respect so they dont fear you edit: gismo is generalissimo

what is buyers level equipment...not sure. Is there a new mk level that was unlocked only thru the shop? Otherwise ftp players can get all the same stuff I can. And yes, if you dont use supplies, you are essentially multing

You've got to agree tho, that there is something amazing about mammothing a charging tank. I always feel like a linebacker making an open field tackle....also is good to punish players who stop playing the game objective to hunt you down

So tonight I played 13 battles with Shaft/Wasp and LC's and 11 with Titan and Mammoth. Gotta say, Im really starting to move towards wasp as the one I do better with, than hornet. Hornet's OD is really good, but I lot of times I'm getting those same kills with Wasp anyway, and the bomb lets me "punish" players who stop the game objective to chase me. ? Also, I'm 100% on with light caps over RFM...I enjoy rfm but it requires me to get up close and I die a lot, whereas lcs lets me keep enemies at a distance.

I like flash better right now, but it crashes so much, so I'm using html and I'm getting used to it. I gotta say that the menus and UI are more modern looking in html

I make waaaay more crystals in MM battles...not even close. If I lose in a pro battle, I essentially played for free but in MM, even the loser can get big score
