Before the Mk update, you could buy the Avalanche Kit (M2 Freeze and M2 Hornet) in the shop at WO2 and in the garage at WO4 If you fully micro-upgraded them to M2.10 before the update, then they got converted to Mk7 It's crazy, but that's what happened

It's worth it because buying equipment from nothing is so expensive now, especially modules, so before the update I was thinking about diversifying from Smoky + Hunter into Shaft + Hornet or Striker + Titan (or combinations of them), buying M2s in 50% sales or one of the old kits My maths might be wrong, but to buy that the bits of that kit separately from nothing costs 1,154,000 crystals now, 577,000 crystals in a 50% sale M7 Shaft and M7 Dictator costs 769,000 crystals, 384,500 crystals in a 50% sale So buying that kit when it unlocks will give you M7 Shaft and M7 Dictator with a 50% discount and a M7 Eagle module for nothing if you haven't bought any of that equipment before I'll probably buy any new turrets or hulls as kits now

A lot of these comments deserve bans instead of rewards

I rarely use supplies, but still get a 1st place sometimes (with Hunter / Smoky). CP and JGR are two modes where you can good scores without using lots of supplies. What I would do from now on, if you don't want to start again with a new account (I've got four), is spend any crystals you earn from missions and containers on one turret and one hull instead of several. I think you need to be a skilled player to do well with a light hull.

I try to be polite when criticizing anything that the powers-that-be do, but they don't seem to very good at foresight or planning. I think there's a trend of rewards for something being lowered because the rewards for something are often too high to start with, forcing them to make a correction because people get too much free stuff. It's the TO equivalent of inflation. So I bought two weeks of Premium and a Battle Pass during the last War (for Xmas) because getting so many containers for 10 Euros was a bargain (and those containers gave me an extra month of Premium on one account), but that was probably too generous and changes were made soon afterwards, like Battle Passes only lasting for two weeks and making people pay for all levels of equipment if they don't want to buy Product Kits. I think the same thing happened after the previous War too, no more earning 4 containers for doing 7 missions a week soon after the big container giveaway that happened then. But event looks good, will probably MU everything apart from Modules (can only afford to MU those during 50% sales now)

I don't often play beyond doing missions, but I still enjoy doing missions when they're in favourite modes. Earning points or crystals or doing damage in the other modes can be a chore, but a mission that needs several battles in CP or JGR can be a lot of fun and the time flies by. CTF is my other favourite mode, but earning points or crystals or doing damage in CTF can be a grind sometimes, usually only do CTF for finishing battles or collecting boxes. TDM is the only mode I don't like. My problem has more to do with being exhausted or bored sometimes after finishing a day's missions; I just don't want to play any more, even thought the pressure and distraction of having to do missions has gone. I wish the weekly missions requirements were reduced to 9 & 18 from 10 & 20, then people could complete the 18 mission one in 6 days if they wanted to and play for fun one day per week.

Firebird and Freeze players on my team coming up behind me or following me and tapping their fire button a few times (or holding it down) for some reason Sometimes I think I'm under attack and either turn my turret around and attack them or waste an Overdrive

One thing I've noticed is that the HTML5 version (on Windows) has started to ignore the scaling settings on my (all-in-one) PC and runs at 4K resolution now, so lower framerate (the Flash version notices the scaling settings and runs at upscaled 1920x1080 when the scaling is set to 200%) So I have to go to my display settings and change the resolution from its 4K default to 1920x1080 to get close to 60 fps. You might have to do similar with your Macbook Pro. (I also can't move the turntable in the garage any more, but can still move the turret and tracks using the game controls)

I agree. Great paint. Not impressed with the rest. I only make an effort for challenges if I've got some Premium these days. I play enough to do 20 missions a week, and that'll get me past Tier 10, two extra containers per month (used to be three, sometimes four, until the first challenge with 90+ levels).

CFT should be renamed to Hokuto Shinken

Coconuts would be good Thunder players could pick them up and get instant reload

I like Massacre too, but I was hating it a lot yesterday when I was in the red team on ASL (cap flags daily mission) and most of my team mates that weren't carrying flags were staying near our base instead of trying to control the high points in the middle and help the flag carriers

According to the conversion table, M2 Ricochet would have been converted to Mk5, and an M2 Ricochet with 5 MUs would have been converted to Mk6

I've done this is a lot with Smoky and Hunter, might have got three jug kills in one battle once, but not recently

There is a preview (on desktops anyway) - it's the page + magnifying glass icon on the right of the icon bar thing

I found this one - TNK00-00000-ХХХХХ-ХХХХХ-ХХХХХ But it doesn't work

New Vulcan sounds like a broken mechanical typewriter

It's entertaining though. Such flex. I started out with Shaft and got bored with it, but interested in the mobile sniping thing with Hornet + LC if I ever move away from Smoky. Have to wait a while because of the update though. Hell will freeze over before I camp with Shaft on a heavy hull.

My Captain account, the one I started TO with when it was still on Kongregate, has only earned 367K crystals because I'm Mr Average Player But it has a GS of 6000 and over 2 million crystals in the bank (plus 60 unused Gold Boxes and 100 unopened Weekly Containers), mostly from completing missions and containers

This is one of the reasons why I hate Gauss I've got massive respect for skilled Striker users, especially the ones that don't rely on the lock-on and are very good at making single unguided shots count

All of my Smokies (from 2nd LT to this account) are currently going from Mk 6.6 to 6.7 I've never been that bothered by paying full price for main equipment / upgrades on main equipment (and I don't use anything else). I'll get discounts on the first 7 MUs if I can (like 30% on those 6.6 to 6.7 ones), but getting discounts on the last 3 MUs is more important because they cost as much as the first 7 I've upgraded as much stuff as I can and ignored the cost in lots of cases because it's a matter of survival, lots of people at my ranks with Mk 7 turrets and a GS that indicates upgrades, on the way to Mk 8 For reference, this account has Hunter Mk 6.7 , Smoky Mk 6.6, and four modules at 31%, but my GS is only 6394. I'm seeing Captains with Mk 7s and a GS of 8000+

It's done 273 isn't a huge sample, but will be bigger when I add recent containers Sub-percentages don't completely add up to total percentages because of rounding Percentage for Uncommon Containers was 25.6% Percentage for Rare Containers was 13.9% For Uncommon Containers: Supplies - 7.7% Gold Boxes - 6.2% Batteries - 4.8% Crystals - 5.5% Premium - 1.1% For Rare Containers: Supplies - 0.4% Gold Boxes - 1.1% Batteries - 0.7% Crystals - 4% Paints - 7.3% Premium - 1.1%

That will need a little bit of work because I haven't split categories of rewards by rarity yet (so 8% of the 273 containers were Paints, but they can be Rare, Epic, or Legendary), but I'll post if here when I do

I haven't updated my spreadsheet with the War containers yet (last entry was 3rd of December last year), but the rarity of a Premium drop (uncommon and rare) is currently 2%, 5 containers out of 273 But one of my (four) accounts got over a month of Premium during the War whereas one got only 3 days

I'm not entirely F2P because I've spent money when the rewards were very high, like Premium (2 weeks) and a Battle Pass giving me almost a year's worth of F2P containers during the last War (something which has probably broken the economy, again). On one account those containers gave me over a month of extra Premium, but I only got to 600 (but still my highest amount) stars during the last challenge because I rarely play for more time than is needed to finish three missions a day. If I don't have any Premium, I rarely try and get challenge rewards
