Great to jump on top of buildings with the opponents' flag so they can't return it. Great idea for a hull, stupid execution. Nerf the height of the jump. Make it so it's most practical for jumping on top of raised ledges and jumping over mines and enemies.

Add/remove maps from the MM pool. Games are repetitive; people dodge unbalanced maps. Stop investing time for new content. We don't care about that right now. Focus on quality of life updates. You've released a beautiful 3-D Hull, and I've got to put a stupid looking 3-D Turret with 2-D textures on it. Update the look of turrets, tanks, buildings and objects while fixing their broken hitboxes. Fix all the goddamn HTML5 bugs. There're hundreds of posts about them and it's like nothing's been done about them for over a year. There're so frustrating in fact that I left Tanki until you finally released Ares.

Just bought a container from the showcase for 119 Tankcoins. When I went to open it, nothing happened. Thanks Tanki.

No **** Sherlock I know how inertia works. I'm talking about BUGS. Play Shaft on HTML5 and experience it firsthand.

Gauss XT

Why's Smoky XT like a Snake when the Smoky Module is Dolphin? ? Change the Modules' names to reflect the Turrets' XT Skins: Fire -> Dragon Freeze -> Mammoth (or Elephant to prevent confusion) Isida -> Raven Hammer -> Rhino Twins -> Dino(saur) Rico -> Croc(odile) Smoky -> Snake/Anaconda Striker -> Eel Vulcan -> Beast Thunder -> Stays the same ? Rail -> Stays the same ? Shaft -> Lion Magnum -> Honestly what is it supposed to resemble? Turtle? Ram? Gauss -> Phoenix (or this ?)

First game with stock M6 Shaft. Camera keeps bugging out though. @sharifsahaf @At_Shin

Hammer, Rico and Fire are great short range turrets, but they're more powerful with their Alts, namely Dragon's Breath, Minus-Field and Compact Tanks. Do you have any Alts? I don't think you'd be able to MU one of your M5s to full with 95k, but you'd put a good dent into it. So to keep in mind: whichever turret you're getting, it'd be stock (if you don't have Alts), and have little to no MU in it. Or you will put a good chunk of MU into one of your M5 items (i'd recommend Rail since you've got 2 M6 hulls already). The next confirmed sale will be in September so choose wisely ?

Anyone else's camera buggy as hell when scoping with Shaft? I'm playing with Hunter M7 on HTML5. Pure speculation, but it's like when you're at full speed and you suddenly scope, the camera keeps the tank's momentum and rocks your scope... It's like the camera has a mind of its own and moves all over the place

Well they removed Heavy Cap's horizontal debuff and Light Caps has a horizontal boost... I think what's going on is that when you're at full speed on a light/medium hull and you scope in, the camera keeps the tank's momentum and rocks the scope. Pure speculation though. If i don't find an answer i'm not buying shaft this sale

I tested Shaft M7 on HTML5 and the camera is so buggy. I'm constantly scoping in and out while on the move, and whenever I scope in, it's like my tank is on a seesaw Minus-field, Light Capacitors, Heavy Caliber and the Assault Rounds. Rico or Shaft

Who's playing on HTML5? My camera keeps getting ****ed up throughout the match when scoping in and out. When I'm scoped, it's like my tank is on a seesaw!

Rico M7, Rail M7 or Shaft M7 I can't decide!!!

Another difficult "find the map" installment... I've found #2 and IT. IS. DISGUISING. ?

I did 2 x5 regular containers in the last 2 weeks and I got at least a green in both. I don't remember which commons I got but I got 3 days Premium and Batteries.

It seems pooling to x5 or x15 containers is the way to go. You're guaranteed a green or blue respectively (but purely RNG)

Honestly the best piece of news in MONTHS. Fix HTML5 ASAP. Flash won't be supported in December. You've got 'til then to fix the broken client and browser versions, and be able to compensate the migration from Flash to it. You wouldn't want Tanki Online to burn like Tanki X, do you?

I've heard that Tanki X isn't supported anymore or something and that the Devs distributed Promo Codes to the players? I've played Tanki X for a period of time, where can I get the codes? Promo Codes shouldn't expire right?

What's the mini-quest?

How about fixing the bloody HTML5 bugs and errors?

to get other people's opinions?

In the Team-Oriented modes, do you think that an individual player is too strong, and dominates the outcome of the match single-handedly? I see it all the time -- one guy will have over 7000 GS, meaning that he's using M7 equipment or higher, and dominates the game. At my rank, you can't buy M7 items from the Garage. A tank with M6-10 equipment without Modules is approx. 6000 GS. It's so high because they've bought their equipment from the Shop. Now I know that people're always saying, "Tanki is PTW". Yes, in the aspect of their Tank, they're buying stronger equipment, but in terms of their skill, they can't buy it. I see lots of players with high GS without turning their Turrets, and I see a lot more players with high GS that do turn their Turrets -- And those players wreck the opposition. Not only do they have high tank modifications, but they've got at least 1 high protective Module (since you get one with any Shop kit), and Drones. Have you played against people using Booster? It's not fun; you get destroyed. What's your opinion on the strength of an individual tanker with above-average equipment? Average equipment?

Thank you for the lengthy reply. You went beyond expectations LOL. I've split the post into sections to make it easier upon myself: 1. You've made great points: it may be difficult to control, and I may dislike its playstyle. However, I'm always open to try new Turrets, Hulls and Alts to excite my gameplay -- It gets boring after months on using and upgrading the same garage, not to mention doing this over several accounts over the years... The controls and gameplay are unconventional, but look at Magnum's release: it did (and still) has revolutionary gamebreaking design. ? 2. IMO Vulcan is most effective at shortish-medium range because of the travel time of the bullets, but I know what you mean. I've played with Hammer M3 before on one of my old accounts, and I don't think it's all that special. Then again, it was before Alterations came out. Here I'll point out that you can't see the Alterations I've got in my profile, but I bought a few before they shifted to Containers until they decided to return them to the Garage and made them hella expensive. I've got Dragon's Breath, but in hindsight I don't think it's a very good Alt. The pellet spread is detrimental. I'd rather buy Rico. I always see "Rico is the weakest Turret at those Ranks", but it's got a very good time-to-kill now. I don't have Berserker since I wasn't at the available Rank for purchase, but I've got Minus-field. I've played with Rico M3 on my very first Account years and years ago, and I enjoyed it very much. I'd use the bounce effect whenever I could unlike this new generation of plebs that don't use its ability at all. 3. I constantly alter my camera with Q and E, and swivel my Turret to get a good view of the field. That's why I'd use my Reinforced Carriage Alt with Magnum. I don't have any Magnum Modules, but I'd need one if I were to buy it. Magnum is so frickin' powerful -- debatably it's not a long range Turret with Reinforced Carriage, but I think it'd be fun to use with my Hunter and Wasp. 4. I love Shaft. I've played with it several times on old accounts. I was a camper in the beginning like everyone, but I evolved to love aggressive, on-the-run sniping. That's why I bought Light Capacitors because I appreciated the increased Turret rotation, but they recently removed Heavy Capacitors' Turret rotation debuff... I've yet to try either of them yet so I may enjoy Light Capacitors anyway. I couldn't buy the Rapid Fire Alt, but I think it's a solid Alt for aggressive snipers too. 5. Fair enough, I was looking for new ways to spice up my gameplay to get me motivated to play more so I could earn those Challenge rewards, but the HTML5 Client sucks and crashes constantly anyway -- But there're lots of topics on that. 6. Yeah, buying Modules may be the play -- even at M6-10 Hulls it doesn't seem like ~20% protection is doing anything nowadays. But then again, I'd like to spice up my gameplay options... Depends on how many Crystals I've got after the sales I guess. I'll need to calculate the price tag to see what I can buy. If I've got enough, I'll buy and MU Shaft most likely. If not, I'll upgrade my Modules. ?

Opinions appreciated

Fire /w Compact Tanks is very strong. Honestly all of Smoky's Alts are viable. The strongest are obviously the Auto cannon, Incendiary and Cryo rounds. I've got Smoky M6-10 /w Incendiary and Cryo, and I alternate between them often. I use Incendiary for going offense, and Cryo for Midrange/Defense. I've also been enjoying Wasp-Smoky /w Cryo so that I can freeze enemies then plant my Bomb next to them ?
