    Demolition WAR

    If you're looking for the Tank WAR topic (September 2019), please find it here. Attention Tankers! The world of Tanki is in danger! The hostile corporation AZAZACORP is planning a "smart" sabotage. With the introduction of Tankoins, they want to bring down the market of good old crystals on the exchange. We need to get together and prevent this! Let the "Demolition WAR" begin! To participate, buy the temporarily "Demolisher" paint any time between August 1 to August 29 (server restart time). To stop AZAZACORP’s evil plan, you must destroy their command center by completing missions. There are five missions available, and the more missions you complete, the bigger the reward. And if you complete them all, you will get the cool new animated paint "Demolisher 2.0". Tasks and Rewards*** Collect 50 “Nuclear Energy” supplies. Reward: 100 each supply*. Use Overdrives 100 times. Reward: 3 weekly container. Destroy 7000 enemy tanks. Reward: 30 000 crystals. Finish a battle in the TOP 3 of your team for 70 times. Reward: 10 gold boxes**. Deliver 100 flags in CTF mode. Reward: 3 regular containers. Special Task: Buy a Battle Pass. Reward: The "Demolisher" paint will remain in your Garage forever. * Excluding batteries and Gold Boxes. ** Gold boxes require a minimum rank of Warrant Officer 1. *** Rewards are not exchangeable. IMPORTANT: The "Demolisher" paint is temporary. It has been released exclusively for this War. However, if you complete all 5 missions in the "Demolition WAR", this paint will be converted into the "Demolisher 2.0" animated paint and will remain in your garage forever. Moreover, if you complete all 5 missions PLUS the Special Mission (buying a Battle Pass), you will also receive a grand prize of 300 Tankoins! If you still haven’t heard about Tankoins, you can read more about them here. All rewards will be issued on August 29. By the way, you can join the WAR at any time during the month. Just buy the “Demolisher” paint and all your accomplishments during August —even those from before you bought the paint— will count. Check out the event website to follow your achievements and those of other players, including mission progress, prizes to unlock, and prizes earned. And remember, WAR events always run in parallel with the monthly Challenge. Play, earn Stars, complete Challenge stages, and you’ll also be making progress in the WAR for more cool prizes. Dates 02:00 UTC on August 1 — The event paint becomes available to buy, and the "Demolition WAR" kicks off. You can join at any time. 02:00 UTC on August 29 — The "Demolition WAR" ends, the event paint is no longer available to buy, and disappears from all garages (unless you complete the Special Mission mentioned earlier). August 29 during the day — Rewards are given out. Get ready to bring down the evil AZAZACORP in the Demolition WAR!

    CHROME USERS - No more Flash from tomorrow

    Tanki Online currently runs on Flash technology. Tomorrow, Google Chrome will STOP supporting Flash. So, if you play Tanki Online on Chrome, you’ll be having trouble running the game. But there are solutions. Here are three things you can do. 1. You can use the existing Flash client. Download it from the homepage by clicking the «DOWNLOAD» button in the top right of the screen, and install the software. 2. Or, you can continue using Chrome, but you’ll have to perform a very tedious procedure every time you want to play the game. If you absolutely want to play on a browser, we recommend you switch to another one. There are many options out there. Pick your favorite. 3. You can use the HTML5 version of the game, but you’ll need a decent graphics card for that. You can access the HTML5 version here. You can find more detailed instructions with video tutorials on this special page. Remember, this is only a temporary annoyance. In the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing a brand new game client. It will feature updated functionality and a fully-optimized engine, which will make it possible to play the game even on older machines. We’re working as hard as we can to release this new client. Keep your eyes on the news!

    Update - Maps, Balance, Challenge/WAR extended.

    Tankers! With tomorrow’s (July 19) server restart, we’ll be releasing another update with tweaks to the balance, as well as some cool changes to maps. Here’s what it will include: Challenge We’ve added 48 hours to the July Challenge and WAR to make up for starting them late. Freeze The freeze receives a slight nerf. A full canister will now last 6.5 seconds instead of 7. Gauss Doubled the aiming recovery time for special shots. Now, when trying to lock on for a special shot, if your enemy slips out of your sights, your lock-on mechanism will remain active for 2 seconds instead of 1 second. This means you have more time to re-acquire your target without losing your lock-on progress. Ricochet No changes to the turret, only to its alterations: "Plasma torch" penalty to shot speed has been reduced. Plasma charges will reach opponents faster. "Berserk" now consumes energy more slowly, so you can keep firing continuously for a longer time. Hammer No changes to the turret, only to its alterations: “Slugger” penalty to turret rotation speed has been reduced "Dragon's breath" will heat up enemy tanks more; "High-capacity ammo clip" penalty for clip reload time will be reduced, and the penalty for reloading shots in a clip will be completely removed; "Adaptive reload" will reload the clip fully instead of adding 2 shots; "Duplet", unlike the alterations above, will be nerfed. Clip reload time penalty will increase Dictator Overdrive A positive change — the area of effect for this Overdrive will increase to 20 meters instead of the current 15. Drones A couple of our Drones will also undergo changes: The Defender Drone will get a permanent active time of 20 seconds instead of the previous 3 – 5. However, the cooldown will be doubled, and the strength of the additional armor effect will be reduced. The Booster Drone will also receive a passive effect duration of 3 seconds (previously it was possible to boost it up to 5), but with a 3X faster recharge. Maps This week it will be much more interesting to play matchmaking battles! We will add several maps to matchmaking, featuring visual and functional redesigns: Release of the experimental map “Archipelago” in DM, TDM and CP modes; Molotov will become available in DM, TDM, CP, CTF, RGB and ASL; Cross will become available in DM, TDM, CP, CTF and RGB modes. Additionally, some other maps will get minor fixes, and Forest will no longer be available in "Assault" mode. And for dessert: The “Owl” module with Gauss protection has been added to the “Anticamper” protection modules kit, available to buy in the Shop. That's all. Try out the changes and share your opinion about them in the forum!
