Sorry, I'll sort it out

Interesting

I managed to get Zeus paint for one of my accounts (also Lt. Col.) without using any supplies, but only because I got 10 days of Premium from a container, not going to make it past level 25 for this challenge, usually get past level 10 without Premium and sometimes to level 15. That's how much I bother with challenges, even when there is a paint I want (Zeus wasn't one I wanted).

Sometimes I'll try and use the chat constructively if I can type something between dying and respawning, but most of the time I'm complaining about team mates that are camping Was in a Siege battle on Yorkshire where four people on my team were camping on top of the hill

I'd like an explanation too I'm happy to accept most of the disadvantages of being an F2P player (I won't spend more than 60 euros a year on any game), but I think this is going too far After saving up my crystals for two years I was planning to buy a couple of products kits, but they were moved to the shop lottery on HTML5 Was planning to buy alterations for them in the next 50% sale (if they ever happen again, seems unlikely given this trend) Now I have to decide if it's worth buying a load of alterations within the next few hours (I hate pressure), including some for turrets I don't even own yet, because nobody has said "all alterations will be removed from the garage on <insert date>" Arguments about the amount of P2W in TO seem trivial now, the game is heading towards Pay2Play I've got loads of crystals, but I'm running out of things to spend them on; TO might as well introduce the option of converting crystals in to tankoins so that some people can spend their savings

reputation is just a count of how many Likes and Thanks reactions you have received

The pricing for tankoins has always been a bit sneaky, like not being to buy exactly 500 tankoins for a battle pass Also, the non-linear currency-to-tankoin ratio when the discount for bulk buying anything should increase as you buy larger amounts: 150 TK for 1.5 euros = 1 TK for one cent 400 TK for 4 euros = 1 TK for one cent 820 TK for 6 euros = 1.367 TK for one cent 1700 TK for 13 euros = 1.308 TK for one cent 4300 TK for 33 euros = 1.303 TK for one cent 8800 TK for 65 euros = 1.354 TK for one cent Although transaction charges / commission (for currency conversion) etc. might mean that buying 820 TK several times is more expensive in the end, I don't understand why you get fewer tankions per cent for 13 or 33 euros

I only play with Hunter and Smoky and I am nearly always driving and aiming in different directions I've won lots of 1 v 1 fights with other tankers (in MM) that don't turn their turrets or are faffing about with supplies whilst all of my concentration is focused on driving and aiming Not turning your turret allows other players to literally drive in circles around you One of my favourite moves is almost shooting round corners of terrain / obstacles / buildings by turning the turret and the tank in the same direction. I hit the other tank before I see it.

People are more disappointed when they open the new ones

Playing Tanki with one hand behind your back could become a new e-sport

I think Hunter is the best looking hull. Proportions with Smoky are very nice too, reminds me of a T-34 I haven't noticed the Hunter OD nerfs much because I rarely use it against enemies in the sense of trying kill them, apart from the Juggernaut I don't like it when people use RKs after being stunned (instead of being provoked in to wasting their OD) because of the cooldown change, but it doesn't happen that often Has it been nerfed too much? Probably, but I used to be sympathetic to people who hated Hunters flag / ball dispossessing ability (I once used it to return a flag so that my team could complete a capture and win during the final seconds of a CTF battle and got a lot of rage in the chat) and now I can point to the nerfs and tell them to stop complaining

Yeah, I don't think comments like that are fair. I've almost switched to playing entirely on the HTML5 version since the big camera adjustment (because 4K). I still prefer the Flash version for several reasons, but I'm no longer anxious about giving TO up when the Flash version is stopped. Big relief. (HTML5 client runs much faster than Flash on this PC, GPU is a R9 M375X with 4GB, it will do 60 FPS in 4K on some settings, including dynamic lighting and shadows. The Flash client will only 60 FPS in 1080 and things like Titan's dome drop the frame rate a lot.)

I also think stars are a problem. I rarely play for longer than is needed to finish all of my daily missions. I used to get an extra three containers from challenges per month, now I get just two because I rarely get beyond Tier 15. My average is probably 75 stars per week. I'm a team-focused player that likes winning battles, and stars incentivize selfish play instead of team play, especially when the top player on the losing team can walk away with 3 stars. Why focus on winning the battle when all you have to do is get the most points?

Paints haven't been included in GS for a while, and when they were their contribution was tiny I have a GS of 6792 on this account, hull and turret at Mk 6/10 and three modules at Mk 6/3 or 33% Hull and turret are worth 3000 GS each - GS on the TO Wiki

Or the shot effect for Rico that I just got

The stability of the flash client is variable for me. It's not very reliable at the moment, but sometimes it only crashes a couple of times a day. I don't think TO are making the flash client unstable intentionally.

I'll make a run with Hunter if they do that, but it can be annoying. I enjoy SGE a bit more now that I've learnt to play it properly. I'll patrol the area around the point looking for Gauss campers / protecting my team's point holders and then charge in and try to get the points for capturing when I think my team has won the point.

I haven't noticed the (covert) nerf that much because I nearly always use Hunter's OD to capture flags in ASL, disable bombs / domes, return flags, steal the rugby ball, and as a counter to Viking, Mammoths, and Dictator ODs instead of trying to kill other tanks. But the EMP protection will make the OD useless in ASL against a good team, so no more capture flag missions.

I have an opinion about Hornet's OD, but writing posts is difficult, takes a lot of time, because of executive dysfunction Something that happens too often on here is topics being closed before I can write anything because discussions get too heated, so can people calm down a bit?

I think the hulls and turrets are created as very high poly / detail models and then those models are used to create the textures for lower poly / detail game versions. There might be highly detailed master models for the XT skins too, and the possibility of Ultra versions of them.

I've started taking screenshots at the end of every battle to monitor how much I'm playing, which is probably too much. Tonight I'll make a spreadsheet from February & March's records and see what my map frequencies are. Curious about Rio and Future because they might turn up less often, but they might not because they are very distinctive maps. Other maps might just as rare for me, but I might not notice because the difference between Bobruisk and Aleksandrovsk doesn't register in the same way. I get Silence often.

This still happens. I think most people do it. Collecting 7 Repair Kits in one battle in Brest isn't difficult. If the weekly mission requirements were reduced slightly (18 instead of 20 daily missions would make it a lot less stressful), I wouldn't mind if missions which encourage passive playing (collecting / using supplies or finishing battles) were removed.

Great Now suggestions like Wasp's bomb having a 100 meter range and a Portal Gun alteration for Ricochet will be "Valid"

I agree. Although TO isn't that complex, the difference in feel between TO and TX was like the difference between a simulator and an arcade game. Just couldn't get in to TX.

I wouldn't get involved with TikTok, nasty moderation policies and censorship
