Has anyone got the Strict Ammunition Load augment ? I believe it was available for purchase months ago in a package. A certain player (name ending in ....java) I've come across has this and can get 40+ kills in a match using ares + thunder + brutus. He ignores match objectives.

Saw him in a few matches only with the hammer and dictator combo.

Buyers probably have access to most hard to come by turret augments so most likely, he has access to that on isida, paired with defender on the hull. Any turret with OP augments (EMP, AP, Blunderbuss, Magnetron, etc) will give you a good advantage. As f2p, I like smoky with cryo, hammer with slugger, rico with minus field and thunder with adrenaline. Those, I find are suitable for most game modes. I don't camp for kills so I can't comment on turrets suitable for that task.

Magnum is hard to use even with augments. It takes too long to reload. Pair it with an OP drone and you may do OK in certain battle modes. Check out boris4311 on the profile page. I see him using isida in bigger maps. With the current turret list, you can find better choices.

It is important to recognize this early on. The first thing you should do is check the team composition. If the group is on the other side, I'll say 'Hi' and 'Bye'. Of course, if they are on your side, you probably won't get top 3 but you will have an easier time conserving your resources. One thing I noticed is that even if you have two powerful groups in the battle, once a side gets on top, the other side will fold. Even p2w don't like getting owned.

Did you play for 10 years since you are still at first lieutenant with this account?

Yes, this is the stupidest thing from a teammate. Good chance you will be frustrated in a demolition derby with teammates so leave early. Lag, poor driving skills, can't turn turret, lazy, whatever. Your team will probably lose anyways.

Hi Congo Spider. Do you like to chit chat in a battle? I tried to engage you a few times. Now, back to the topic. I only use adrenaline with smoky and it is alright. Tanki is not balanced in many ways and I don't think changing smoky or critical hits will fix many things. Smoky still lacks the punch to finish off somebody quickly so if you're playing for kills, pick something else. As with all turrets, pick one that has the least resistance on the enemy side and you will move your score up a notch. Use any turret with booster and you can conceal a lot of weaknesses. But I guess you already know that.

I should have said, 'I agree with Crossbone about luckylook500's account being dead'.

You will have lots of problems with this account with the stats in your profile unless you want to spend $. Your problems will be compounded the higher you move up the ranks. You can park this account and use the mobile version to collect free containers and crystals to give yourself a better fighting chance down the road. Start a new account and make sure you equipment is closer to your rank. Good luck.

For daily missions, I always change them to something easier for me, like pick up supplies, finish 2 battles, use OD 10 times, get 1600 crystals, etc. 2/3 of weekly missions are easy once you get the daily ones going. I still like the deal damage missions but now I just do the minimum if possible. I leave battles early if I see the other side is much better. I may also leave if I see protection is heavy against my top 3 turrets. Too many campers on my side, I will leave too. For the last challenge, the special missions were tough, 30K points and 300 OD. I was lucky to discover the team juggernaut rugby mission helped move the needle quite a bit. I probably spent more than 5 hours on that weekend to get both special missions to a reasonable level.

I find defender and booster necessary to complete the tougher missions. These drones are relatively cheap and accessible. I suggest you get one or the other and start to MU. You will be at a big disadvantage against someone with either one.

I finished the last challenge and there is no room for error at the 4K stars level. I got consecutive weekly finish in the top 3 and missed completing one on time. Maybe a break at this time is good.

The game is as p2w as ever. You have done well to kill these GS9999s. However, with a GS in the 5500, you will find it hard to compete and finish MMs or challenges. These are the sources of rewards for f2p along with free containers. If you find the going gets tough, perhaps you can do what some f2p are doing. Park your tank and collect the daily container until you can at least get something decent. On the other hand, if you can consistently get a score of 200+ in MM, then keep doing what you're doing.

At some point, it will be difficult to make progress mastering only one turret, in particular, shaft. It will limit your role and battle modes. Pick a medium hull and try out the different turrets. Focus on a few that will let you complete your missions and challenges.

I always changed DM missions. The gap between p2w and f2p is magnified in this mode. It becomes unplayable when a team of p2w gangs up on the helpless ones.

Sorry fish tank. Looking at your profile at the legend rank, you will find the game difficult to make progress as f2p with only a rail gun and wasp at mk7 + MU. I suggest you only play in MM battles when you see yourself with a reasonable chance of competing. Look for strong players on your side and not the other. Other than that, you can try farming crystals and shards on the mobile version. Currently, certain drones make hopper a flag capping and scoring machine. Against better equipment, fairly or not, f2p are at a disadvantage and no amount of skills can change that. Good luck.

Just played with him today about 1 hour after your post. Tried half the match to chat with him but he did not reply. The rare times he replied in the past, seems to be in Russian. Doesn't have the 4th slot yet and of course, used his magnum with booster.

Looking at your profile and at your rank, I think it will be difficult to improve (or even keep) your K/D unless you can spare some $. You will be going against OP enemies with maxed out GS and you, without a powerful drone. Yes, you can use a shaft and big hull playing for kills at the back corner. However, most of the time, your team will lose and you need your teammates to take most of the hits playing battle objective. Keep in mind that some of us are wise to this tactics and will leave early if we see enough teammates doing this. If you plan to keep using this account as f2p, here are a few ideas. Check opposition once you enter a battle. Leave if you see your side is weak. Check for a team playing on the other side. They will be more coordinated. Check protection on other side and switch to something with low protection. Try to maximize your protection with the 3 modules you have.

That is true. However, I have also seen situations where the dictator got blown up by close by enemies and guess who picked up that precious nugget. For me, that is worst than my team's viking picking up the OD.

Antillis' profile indicates he uses a twins, viking mainly in ctf. To attain a K/D of 3 is difficult. With the current tanki, it is impossible to achieve that with a twins and no drone. Not many active f2p are at the 90300 efficiency value. These are some possible indicators of how a good K/D ratio may impact one's own or team efficiency in ctf and cp. It allows you to hold on to a point for that extra second to successfully cap. It allows you to escape enemy base with the flag. Unfortunately, an unsuccessful cap has almost no value in tanki. Think about how many times your team was close to capping a point before blowing all up. Perhaps he used his superior K/D to clear an important strategic point on the map or take out those deceitful enemy shafts at the back corner. Think about how long it would take those deceitful campers to get back to their camping spots. Getting your enemies to spawn more often is an advantage for your team. Your team will have a better chance at picking up supply drops. Even by staying alive can help your team instead of spending time spawning. You may become a target so instead of me fighting off 2 tanks all the time, they come after you. Yes, we are all tired of our titan/shaft playing at the back corner or the hornet/rail playing behind the building while we are playing the objective and getting pummeled. When the game ends and we lose, those players will have the better score. This is where leaving early helps. I am still developing a sense for these situations but I have never regretted leaving early.

Looking at your profile, you have very done well to get to the legend level with a super K/D of 3 and an efficiency value of 90300. However, with the current tanki, you will fare poorly given the low crystal count and garage. If you don't mind being mediocre (drop in K/D and efficiency), you can still grind it out like most f2p. It will take time to build up your GS by finishing daily MM. Otherwise, you will have to spend some $. Good luck.

That many with GS of 9999 on one side can only mean one thing, a group. Better to leave early than late.

I use an AMD Phenom II for tanki and flash was unplayable and buggy. My internet is good though, 150 down/15 up. HTML5 works and I can hit the flying hacks (I mean hopper). I can't multitask too much when playing.

His ranking is down to 92. HIs highest was around the high 30s. Currently, if you play, your ranking will drop. For some people, that is a big deal so they don't play with their high ranked account.
