    UPDATED - Halloween returns for 24 hours on Saturday 5th

    UPDATED 1st November Tankers, First of all, we’d like to apologize for last Monday’s mishap with the special missions for the Halloween map. The missions were supposed to be automatically turned off at 02:00 UTC on Monday 31st October. Unfortunately, something in the script tripped, and instead of being turned off at the scheduled time, they were turned off several hours later, which caused problems to a number of players. While the situation couldn’t be avoided, we’d like to make it up to you. So, for 24 hours, from 02:00 UTC on Saturday 5th November, till 02:00 UTC on Sunday 6th November, we’re bringing back the Halloween map, together with the special missions AND the 5x gold drop frequency. We hope this little gesture on our part will help make up for any inconvenience or frustration the incident may have caused you. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Have fun this weekend with the return of Halloween! OLD ANNOUNCEMENT

    CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

    I really have no idea whether 5x battle funds will ever be back. Well, not quite dipping my toes. The fact is that I'm an English writer by profession, so it makes sense for them to use my skills in that area, and I'm happy to oblige. As for what would happen to me if Tanki were to close, I really have no idea. First of all, I don't really think about that possibility, as I'm pretty convinced that Tanki Online isn't gonna disappear anytime soon. But if Tanki Online were to close while I was still in it, I still wouldn't be too worried. With my mixed experience and track record I've got quite a few options.

    , no I'm not the CM for Tanki X. I have nothing to do with the game, except for occasionally helping them out with writing announcements.

    Random Blockings

    Hi all, While I didn't have any involvement in yesterday's event (wasn't even aware it was being organized on that day) I'd like to apologize for the frustration and confusion you experienced, and for the inconvenience that resulted from this event. As for the event helpers, please don't blame them for what they did. As already said, the situation was wildly out of control and they were trying their best to deal with it. Rest assured that we'll sort it out.

    Let me clarify something. The 5mins wait is for when you're trying to change the same type of equipment. For example: You're in battle You go to the garage to change your equipment You change your turret Go back to battle Go back to the garage to change equipment again If you want to change your turret again, you have to wait till the 5mins have passed. BUT if you want to change your hull, paint, or protective module, you can do it right away.

    While there are similarities between the two games, they will never be the same game and cannot be merged.

    I've already given a clear answer to this.

    It's a hobby for some people. It's called "the sheer desperation of wanting to prove yourself right simply because you can't get validation from anything else in your life". Ok, I totally made that up, but I suspect there is a proper name for the condition.

    New balance changes and other features

    Tankers! The wait is over. The new changes in game balance are now in the game. You can find the full details for these changes, including changes in parameters and prices in the special wiki page called Global update of game balance for Tanki Online. Here’s a summary of what you can expect to find when you log into the game: 30% sale on supplies and 50% additional battle funds As promised in the past few V-LOGs, this update brings with it 4 days of 30% discount on supplies, and 50% additional battle funds. The sale and additional battle funds will be in the game till Monday 24th at 02:00 UTC. Changes in Turrets, Hulls and respective Micro-Upgrades and Alterations Turrets and Hulls, and their respective Micro-Upgrades and Alterations will undergo numerous changes in their parameters. Turrets — Updates on all modifications (see wiki) Hulls — Updates on all modifications (see wiki) Alterations — Changes to reflect the changes in turret parameters (see wiki) Furthermore, all M3 equipment will become available from the rank of Marshal. NOTE: Don’t worry. If you’re not yet a Marshal, but already own a piece of M3 equipment purchased before the update, this equipment will remain in your garage and you will still be able to use it. Changes in equipment prices The changes in rank requirements for equipment have also affected equipment prices in various ways. Some turrets and hulls will go down in price, while others will go up. This applies to M3 turrets and hulls, as well as micro-upgrade prices for M2 and M3 level equipment (see wiki). Changes in Alterations Existing Alterations will also undergo some changes in their parameters to reflect the changes in their respective turrets (see wiki). Changes in Kits M3 kits both in the garage and the shop will become available from Lieutenant General. Their prices will change to reflect the price changes in the equipment they contain. Changes in Supplies The cooldown on Double Damage, Double Armor, and Acceleration supplies will be reduced from 15 seconds to 10 seconds. Additionally, and Double Damage, Double Armor, and Acceleration will last for 40 seconds, and Acceleration will give your tank a 40% speed-up. The cooldown for Mines has been increased from 20 seconds to 40 seconds. However, the cooldown between Mines and Repair Kits has been removed. This means you can plant a Mine and use a Repair Kit immediately afterwards, or vice versa. Additional features Self-destruct function The self-destruct time has been reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds so you don’t have to wait too long to get back into battle. Equipment change in battle The minimum waiting time between equipment changes in battle has been increased from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Show damage When in battle, you will be able to see the amount of damage you are dealing to your enemies. This will be displayed as a small number on top of the enemy’s tank, and will represent how many HP of damage your shot has inflicted. This feature can be toggled on and off in the setup page. To make damage simpler to display, all HP and damage will be multiplied by 10. The effect of Repair Kit and Mines has also been multiplied by 10 to reflect these changes. Game mode Dictator+Railgun With this release, we’ll be officially supporting the Dictator and Rail format. You’ll be able to create these special format battles from the battle creation screen. For this format, the M3 Railgun will be automatically equipped with a special Alteration that increases its damage and slows down its reload. Additionally, M2 Dictators will be automatically equipped with a special defense module to make them competitive. New paints The release will also include 5 new paints. Two of these new paints will be purchasable from the garage, while the remaining three will be shop-exclusives. So, make sure you log into the game tomorrow and check out all the changes for yourself. And remember that you can find the full details for these changes in the special wiki page called Global update of game balance for Tanki Online.

    Should be fixed soon.

    Post here your issues with lags and server instability

    Have you tried contacting tech support? I really don't know what to tell you. It could be anything really. Maybe your internet service provider was having a bad service day. Or it could've been our servers. Really no idea.

    Moderators will do their job regardless of whether the offender is a friend, a relative or whatever. And just because a person is an offender, doesn't mean mods can't be friends with that person. The offense is treated apart from the person. Of course, if one is intentionally obnoxious on a regular basis, that person can really hope to attract the sympathies, respect or friendship of anyone, let alone the moderators, whose job this person is making considerably harder.

    Unfortunately, sometimes I really don't feel like talking to anyone; that's part of human nature. But I still get in here and talk to people, because that's my job and I take it seriously. has already made it perfectly clear many times that this format will not be introduced. The client is getting better every week. They're working on implementing the refresh function. I can't give anymore info right now. We'll tell you more when the time comes. lol He's a chat admin, not a battle mod. What you asked him to do, was not his job, and he's busy enough as it is. What's more, when mods are online and they're not on duty, they'd like to be able to play the game without being asked to work. Remember that ultimately, these are players like yourself, with the difference that they're putting in their time and energy to make the game better for people like you, without getting paid. And when you consider the amount of crystals they get in return, it's really not worth the hassle.

    We're doing our best to get this up and running asap. As I said, it's not on our end, so there's a limit on what we can do. My apologies again for the inconvenience.
