It all depends on how you use it. Just because the OD is available doesn't mean you have to use it right away. I know on some maps this is difficult to do, but the ideal situation is to activate it when you are very near or in a crowd of enemy tankers, to take out the nest for instance. Use it in such a way that will benefit your team, not just yourself. Remember, it's not just the immortality, it's also the touch factor, too. It also helps if you wear some kind of grey or black paint. For some reason, that makes you less visible even out in the open.

You can add me to your Birthday List. I was born on July 17 around 6 am. My Mom is cranky if she doesn't get a good night's sleep. I kept her up all night.

Yes, the race is in the works and will be a reality. What are your thoughts on the Mars Race? The Mars One program, a Dutch organization, plans to send 24 people with a one way ticket to Mars in 2032 (NASA's timeline) to set the stage for colonization, though this group is not specifically meant to populate (of course this bound to happen anyway). They have whittled down the applicants to 100 people. The 24 chosen will be sequestered for a decade before leaving to learn how to survive. They will learn how to grow food, repair technology and medical training. Doctors and other critical professionals have contacted other organizations to be considered. Bowing has already put their hat in the ring to set up shop on Mars while a few transportation manufacturers are seriously considering it. Elon Musk is planning to launch in 2024 with a 2 man crew to set up fuel plants using methane from Mars atmosphere and water. Other projects are planned including building colony pods for colonization. Race participants are United States, Russia and China. What are your feelings? Will you encourage your children and grandchildren to participate in colonization, plan a career that will insure a seat in the rocket?

Titan can sneak into enemy territory better than Mammoth.

Just because it says "Valid" doesn't mean it will be implemented nor does it mean it will be considered. So, don't blow your horn or pat yourself on the back yet. Wait to see if it is implemented then you can gloat.

I stand corrected.

I'm going to quote a comment I made on this subject from Game Discussion: I'm a Titan user on this account and a Mammoth on another. I agree that Titan is more offensive and Mammoth defensive. You're more apt to find Mammoth defending and more needy of the repair bonus the dome gives. Titan Is faster and actually not too bad with a SB, and can run into enemy territory with more stealth than the slow Mammoth.Sometimes I feel that Mammoth is so slow it can't get out of its own way. A Titan with Mammoth's OD can wipe out the flag defenders more efficiently than Mammoth, though Mammoth does a good job once it gets there. I totally agree.

Because of this sentence:

Yep, a Marshal would feel so proud of himself for killing a player 6 ranks lower. A player with an M4 would feel elated for killing other players with M2s. If the battles were more evenly balanced according to rank and equipment, then I could see this being a good idea. Right now, most of the ones on the list of high kill rates would be the ones with the stronger weapon, the ones with more supplies. If a non-buyer was struggling to keep up, how many times would that player be on the high kill list? Just one more feature to make the "little guy" feel more inferior. A lower ranker may only get 3 kills but they were 3 kills he worked hard to get. Why take that feeling of awesomeness away from that player because he knows he will never (or seldom) see his name in lights? Unless, of course, the tables are turned and that player is in an unbalanced battle where he is king.

To him, and obviously others, this does make sense. He has as much right to suggest as many suggestions as he wants, whether or not they make sense to others. You have the same right. You may think all of his suggestions are dumb, stupid and ridiculous, that's because you are not on the same mindset as he is. But that's okay, because we all don't think alike. I remember a children's story I read many years ago. It was about Grandpa explaining to his young Grandson about how the world is beautiful with all the different kinds of people in it. To send the point home, Grandpa pointed to a garden and said, "Isn't this garden beautiful? You know what makes it so beautiful? It's because it has so many different kinds of flowers in it. All the different colors.....some bend when laden with flowers and some stand straight and tall. Some have a heavenly scent, while others have no scent at all. Not one is loved any less than the other. Wouldn't it be a boring garden if all the plants were the same, acted the same, looked the same? Yes, it would still be a beautiful garden, but isn't this one more beautiful?"

Test servers is like Tanki's sandbox mode.

What, what? Read between the dotted lines.

Yeah, I like ping-pong....ping, pong, ping, pong, ping, pong. Table tennis anyone?

@Maf come here, I want to whisper in your ear. Just a little closer...I don't want anyone getting any ideas..... whisper whisper pssfft sas....is that....psspsspss.....why.....whissssper......so many.....psssft pssft....players are......psssfftt puffft pusstff.....having so many.....ssssttst....problems like.....psss pssst....oh do I dare say it? The 3 letter word that starts with L and ends in G?? Now, don't tell anyone I asked you that.

I needed one more top 3....just one more.....I finally got it!! Except it was in Pro battle. :angry:

I installed AdBlock (AB). Then AdBlock Plus (ABP) came out in beta and I agreed to try it out. It's free. It can be found in the Microsoft Store as an Edge Extension. I suggest you go directly to the website and download it from there for each browser you use.

It depends on your combo and how good you are at certain activities. EXP is gained through killing enemy tanks In CTF, interaction with the flag (ie: killing the flag bearer, capping the flag, bonus exp for killing while carrying the flag CP, changing control points Buy Premium Account or Battle Pass for an extra bonus of 50% EXP XP/BP battles, if you are good with railgun. (Yes, I know XP, in this case isn't the same as EXP). Some players are better on certain maps because of their favorite combo and playing style. So, I don't think maps plays a big part in gaining EXP. It's all about interaction with the enemy. If you're really serious about how much EXP you gain, then I suggest keeping a log of EXP earned on each map and which combos used. After some time, you'll be able to find your EXP niche.

Like maybe TK?

This could be exploited by transferring Tankoins between personal accounts.

Hummm...so this pump is more than just a smoke screen. You are suggesting toxic smoke. In the realm of virtual possibilities, how will the toxic smoke affect the enemy tank?

Will this MM rating stop being put into battles with a 8-10 rank spread?

One thing I've noticed after putting down the dome in enemy base....the enemy disappears. Instead of positioning themselves directly in their base, they will position themselves off the base where those within the dome can't shoot them. When the dome disappears, enemy tanks, seemingly, come out of the buildings, rock formations and walls. Anyone left is a sitting duck. I was in a battle last week where an enemy Titan had laid a dome in our base. When I respawned, mine was fully charged. I put mine down next to theirs. You should have seen that exchange of ammo. Since they put theirs down first, it ended before mine, making them vulnerable. If my health is very low when I put down the dome, any high powered turret can still kill me. The dome's health recharge is slower than a couple well placed shots.

He's lucky he his tank back Make sure he changes the locks on his tank Hit him up on the side of his head with the heel of your hand for being so careless with the keys The highest combo in his garage is Railgun/Wasp. Rules say you have to use the highest turret and hull in the garage. It's under Sabotage. I assume he doesn't have any crystals left. Keep up with the missions. This will help with getting supplies and crystals After he has earned enough crystals, buy a battle pass. With that he can get top tier and low tier awards in the challenges I understand xp/bp battles can earn a nice pile of crystals if he's good with Railgun. Some players play that mode exclusively for the earning potential If possible, buy Premium. You will get supplies and crystals every day for free after the restart. (It's not really free since you have to buy the Premium, but you don't have to fight for them either.) Don't spend any crystals on MUs until he has a good stash of crystals to spare Don't buy anything he can live without. Somewhere at this point, buy and upgrade protection modules. Don't carry the tank keys around in his "pocket". Safeguard them by putting them in the safe. Don't let anyone know the combination to the safe and make sure no one is looking over the shoulder. He obviously either let someone use his account at some point or logged on to Tanki while someone was looking at his keyboard. If his account was hacked, he would have lost his whole account, not just crystals. Does he know what the crystals were spent on? Or did they seemingly just disappear? That's my opinion. He basically is starting over, except for hulls and turrets. If the person that sent him the badge didn't spend the crystals, then that means more than one player was on his account. It's possible he knows who logged on to his account. Hopefully, this is a lesson learnt.

I suppose it is my fault, most times. I mostly play team support with Vulcan/Titan. If I'm out in the open smearing bullets to weaken health so my teammates have easy kills, and a laser sets on me, I don't have the speed to run for cover or to dodge it. Sometimes, if I'm lucky and am able to duck behind a building, I still die....lag, they tell me. On the other hand, if I can get the enemy's attention and take a few shots, that may be just enough distraction for my team to score. BTW, I'm not a camper. You won't find any moss under my feet.
