Hornet's OD counters the most fundamental, core gameplay mechanics in Tanki -- supplies and overdrives. Hunter does a similar role but at least they need to be at close range to use their ability. Not to mention Hornet's OD also allows you to shoot through spawn protection. The Devs added the "ghost" feature to prevent exactly this from happening! Hypocrites. I'm seeing at least 1 Rail-Hornet player every game, no matter the map big or small -- and it's effective! Who knew 1-shotting light/medium hulls is powerful? I've got 25% module protection, but I'm constantly getting pelted and chunks of my HP disappearing. You can't hide or protect yourself -- you get out of your spawn with over half your health gone. It's not fun. It's infuriating! It makes me want to quit -- and if I return, to buy Hornet at the next sale, (which I'll do because it's broken) even though I've got a respectable garage already.

I've been trying the client version for 3ish hours on and off. I get 75 ping or more, when I get 60 ping or more on Chrome. What gives?

But in the recent VLOG it said NA players were playing on outdated versions, and they're being migrated to EU servers now?

When I click to download the client, it says "tankionline_eu". Does that mean I'll be playing on EU servers? If I'm playing on Chrome aren't I playing on NA?

I've been experiencing a lot of crashes because the game "overloads" Chrome -- Could the browser version perform more stably?

Is Magnum /w Reinforced Chassis fun? Is it too awkward to control? Should you buy Magnum protection?

Overdrives, MM, Flash to HTML5. I think the paint separation update was detrimental to the community, but was a good decision overall. Honestly they could give away the Garage skins and nobody will use them; it's all about the animated paints now. I've created so many accounts after "rebalances" to start fresh again.

This guy's tank is too good to be true. He was using XT Hornet and what looked like M0 Railgun. He doesn't have smart cooldowns either. I've also seen at least 2 jump hackers during this event, but I've no way to prove it (and too lazy to, I mean why does it have to be our responsibility to capture -- quite literally, photo or video -- these offenders anyway? Why hasn't there been a reporting function in the game?!). Edit: Hard to see, but his name is @Fluix with 9999 GS

Should I buy Smoky's Incendiary Round Alteration? If yes, why? I posted a question about it in the Q&A section. You can visit it directly here.

There's not enough information in-game and in the Wiki. All I know is that the critical shots are replaced with regular shots, and ignite the target. What about the temperature? Does the target slowly heat up, then cool down? Does the target instantly reach the highest temperature, then cool down? Does the target even heat up or cool down? What about the damage? What's the damage per second? What about the duration? How long does the ignition last (in seconds)? What about modules? Would the Fire protection module reduce the damage of the burn effect? Would the Smoky protection?

Title says it all. For example, a Major equips M0 equipment into a MM queue to get matched with players around it's rank with weak GS. Then the player simply changes back into it's stronger equipment to have an advantage over the others.

I can't enter the game I'm stuck on the loading bar. I've cleared my cache and cookies and nothing works for Chrome.

Has anyone else thought this exact same thought? Maps such as Molotov, Aleksandrovsk, Wolfenstein, Silence, Iran -- the Blue Team has a HUGE disadvantage. The base is so small that the teammates are often spawning next to each other. This crowds up the base, and because they're on a raised area with ramps, the Red Team can often jump over them and score easily. Sometimes the Blue base is located in the middle of the map, and there's hardly any time for them to react to the assault. Sure you can mine bottlenecks, but mines don't instant kill at my rank, not to mention the Dictator and Titan overdrives. Assault needs their maps balanced for sure!

All the transitions and promotional Ads in HTML5 makes the game so damn slow. Painfully slow. The gameplay itself functions fine, but make the lobby more functional!

What are you bafoons doing?! You've completely scrambled the game balance! I can upgrade my previously fully MUed Smoky+Titan M1 to Mk7 now. What's the point in grinding to Marshall anymore? I'm playing with players way above my rank in matchmaking now, but have equal equipment upgrades. How is this update supposed to encourage more players to spend money when you're now able to get max upgrade equipment at WO5?! Why would you make all tanks without a skin the same, regardless of their upgrade level? This makes zero sense. You can't tell what modification the opponent is anymore. It's gonna make the game so bleak. I'm done if you're actually gonna proceed to implement the other announced changes and not revert to the old system.

I just played a game with a player with the nickname "removed". How does that go through the filters when creating an account?! It's the basic "switch-a-letter-with-a-number" technique. Why can't we vote players in-game via the scoreboard? Where'd the "report players" topic go in the forum? If it's still open, it should be easier to access from the main page.

why is there a shop paint "can't stop" and when I tried to purchase it, it caused an error and was removed from the shop?

Is Fire m1's alt significant in terms of its positives and negatives? To be honest I don't understand the point of it since you shouldn't play Fire to chase people... Should I buy 3 m1 module this sale? I don't have any, but perhaps I should wait for m2 modules?

Do I need to be LOGGED INTO the war site for my stars to be counted? I wasn't credited for 20+ stars on turn 1 and received only 1 container.

they removed product kits in html5 from the garage?

What the hell? I got signed into some random person's account. It was fixed once I logged out and back in.

I had +20 stars with no passes but I only recieved 1 container instead of 2 what gives?!

Two things that annoy me the most in HTML5: This bug happens to me all the time. It'll repeat itself every 1-2 hours when playing for a prolonged time. It happens because I'm playing on full screen? ...And when I refresh the page, this happens. Secondly, why does the flag icon need to be a large, opaque block in the middle of their base?! If a tank is sitting on their flag, you can't tell from a distance! I mean look at this! It's ridiculous. ...And when we take their flag, suddenly I can see clearly and support my team! Why can't this be a toggle-able feature? Do we really need a marker as to where their flag is when our team doesn't have possession? I know that it helps newcomers, but it's not really rocket science as to it's location on majority of the maps. Not to mention most of the playerbase are veterans.

How do you unlink an email to an account? I'd like to use an email verified to an inactive account to an active one.

Yes. Check my profile -- I've been awarded Ghost paint but haven't earned my containers. I play on the client, could that be the issue? EDIT: I've entered through the HTML5 browser on Chrome and it hasn't updated. If I'm not mistaken I've earned over 599 stars, granting me 10 containers.
