Nice bomb lose. @Maf I'd suggest that the fact he got 8 kills with the bomb would indicate that it was a MM battle given its 8v8 nature

100% devs need to work on marketing, and perhaps find a way to increase community. This is a great game but at some point the grind is done and you need something else. In a game I played for a bit several years ago, we had alliances and ppl took them seriously. It was one of those base building games, and alliances were the best part. The diplomacy that went on between them was great. I remember being leader somehow of a smaller one and having to eat crow bc of a rogue member, in order to keep my smaller members from getting wrecked. That part of the game is what kept it interesting. Right now I couldnt tell you of any players I fear in battle bc everyone is just a random mm person. And lastly like I said above, marketing is needed. I only learned of tanki thru my sister...never saw commercials or anything. The game will keep players who find out about it. ultimately the clan stuff would require a ton of thought, but currently clans are just a tag. Im in a great group of ppl but thru discord not tanki. Imagine what would happen if clans had legitimate allies and enemies and were large enough to actually see each other in battle. Ah theres a small solution: Increase clan size by a lot, to maybe 50 and allow enemies and allies to be identified in battle. Would make each battle a bigger deal if you were fighting a clan enemy. 12 person clans...you will rarely run into one of any given clan.

I like its current OD. I also like that it gets points for giving OD to teamates. A smaller score would be fine, but I think thats still an important part

Yes, in pure stats, viking is the best hull and top players know that. Overdrives make up for that but dictator needs a good OD to make up for vik's goodness

Today I played an assault battle and seveal time I hit their base as tanks were respawning...made scoring very difficult. Assault is already difficult for the attacking team

If you ever watch esports in hardcore mode, its ALL Vikings. Maybe a hunter or heavy sneaks in, but bsides that is usually 100% viks. Zero dicktaters

Better than give spawn protection, it would be nice if it were difficult for players to hang out in enemy base. Absolutely thats a legitimate strategy, but in some maps the defender spawn so far apart that you can spawn in to face two drugged up enemies

So what it looks like is that Dictator is dominating in the lower ranks. At legend, I've seen dictators come on top a few times but certainly not as often as vikings and hornets, so I'd suggest its fine here. Perhaps the scoring could scale

Are asking for suggestions for new skins? Or asking how to edit textures in game

Sorry, the reason I suggested that is that you are making a claim that hackers were everywhere. I have never seen a hacker ever. Maybe you are right, but a claim requires proof. like if I claim that Maf is in fact a lizard, I would have to give proof of his...lizardness. 100% of hacking claims that Ive seen are not. Ive been accused of hacking several times for doing idk what. Maybe battle mods havent seen hackers either. Some good proof would change their minds

so the question is, since you countered that many, could you make a vid next time showing them? That would ge them banned for one but also show the rest of us what they look like. Just post the link of your vid here and I'd gladly watch!

If this is turning into a mult thread, idk if you can do anything about it. Is a shaft titan camping far from the flag, but getting 3rd place with a huge k/d a mult? Some would say no, some might say yes. Is a smoky wasp that suicides unsuccessfully 10 times into the defense while the rest of the team play TDM in an assault map a mult? I'd say no, but he will have a tiny score. Are people playing TDM in assault mults? Some might say yes, but then again some ppl just want to blow up tanks. Is someone who cant spawn in bc the flash client is noob, a mult? I'd say no, but that person will force his team to go 7v8 most of the game. Earlier i saw a screenshot in lower ranks of a battle that was a blood bath. The screentaker asked some ppl on the other side if they were using supplies and one said "no, I'm pro". He was like 4/10. A mult? no, but he got wrecked. I just think that the nature of the game means some players are better by a lot than others. What I might suggest is the matchmaking system putting in extra players, maybe 1-2 more if a team is getting destroyed. It would 1) spread the stronger team out a bit more, and 2) give the losing team more of a chance to stabilize

Literally have never seen even one hacker, so idk if there is really a need for one. Id say if there was a need for one, it would be to ban ppl for saying "ez" and using insults in battles

is this a real battle? Rip tanki matchmaing 2018-2020

Are the prime skins really that special? Like theyre kinda cool, but are they really like higher quaity visually than others

Balance is always hard. Dictator has for a long time been mostly useless, so I'd rather have it a bit too good scorewise, than useless. Hopefully a better balance will be attained shortly.

Agreed. In a daily its ok as you can change it if you dont like it, but weeklies...blegh

I've got to say...I'm convinced. I hadnt seen before but thanks for the pics. Yes, 15 would probably be good. I think they still want to incentivise dictators using OD to help teammates, but those are super high scores

You think its too much? Maybe a bit...idk maybe 20 is a good number. Other ODs are individualistic...viking, hunter, mamoth

Essentially this makes freeze a better damage turret but worse at freezing

I dont really understand why people loved the paint system. You can do the same thing now except you can customize even more. Being able to go 50% seems bad as it makes some turrets like Rail unplayable many games, but i do like the system better than the 2018 version

This is what I love about dictator. Now that they offer a score boost to helping your team, it has become the ultimate teamwork hull. Its stats arent great on their own, being essentially a slow hunter/viking, but man it feels great to have few kills but a high score. Ive been loving it a ton and will continue to play it. I hope they dont nerf it...right now it has a role in battles

Id suggest that having kits and garage purchases together is not great. Id suggest removing kits entirely and lowering prices of protection or soemthing to accomodate. Let ppl buy what they want individually. Currently there is zero reason to purchase items in garage until after marshall.

Good idea to specifically show each point. challenges: idk they dont really change anything. Do them or dont. overdrives: initially hated them but love that devs are constantly nerfing them overall and enjoy the differences they bring...dictator OD is sweet now, giving the hull a purpose. Gauss: busted good, especially in siege. Hopefully something will change but it doesnt ruin the experience. archipelago: yeah idk who thot a map where u spawn in surrounded by enemies was a good idea. Connect the islands with bridges and youve got a cool map. Self D penalty: I love this so much. No more losing a kill makes me frustrated less when i flip coin boxes: neither good nor bad, just a thing. html: Good if they fix the time to change equipment to more than .0001 seconds. Siege: love it! Spawn protection: Has hurt me more than helped but I like it...get outa my base.

Ive overdone them a few times...the november one and whatever the first one was...I played and played and played and got burnt out...took a long break. Now I just play what I like and dont focus on stars. Sure i dont hit top level but thats ok, its no loss for me. i dont need legacy skins...theyre cool to be sure but not needed
