    Tanki Online Server Load

    You have to open Flash player, then go to File > Open > then select the file.
  4. Because . . . 1) Many players only really care about K/D and personal achievements / status. 2) Poor communication. There's really no point in playing the objective with an uncooperative team. Why are they uncooperative? Because we have players from all sorts of locales playing with each other since the servers were merged. 3) Tanki doesn't reward teamwork. Consider the following: you get 10 EXP for either destroying one tank or capturing a flag. You get 5 EXP for capping a CP point. If killing tanks gives you way more EXP, what's the point of capping? In terms of battle score, destroying a tank and capping a CP point both give 15 points, while capturing a flag gives 75. Again, there's little incentive for working towards the objective if you can get the same number of points by simply destroying a few tanks.

    Real life tattoos - Do you have any?

    yes in the same way making crimes illegal stops people from committing them

    Tanki World Records

    Surely to remedy this grave issue we need to make viewing this records topic mandatory when creating a new account. Also you must check it at least once a month or else your account gets deleted.

    Sound Quality

    Starting with the addition of Striker to the game, we've seen (or rather heard) quite a few new sounds added: those for Magnum, Rugby, supplies / overdrive, meteorites, and Juggernaut. Yet the quality of the majority of these new sounds seems much lower than that of the older ones to my ears. So, let's look at the spectrograms of some of the newer and older sounds to find out what the case is. You can download most of the sounds in Tanki here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e5wh2stfy8n1f9f/Tanki_Soundpack.zip?dl=0 First, some older sounds: CP ally point capture: Mine explosion: Supply pickup: Twins shot: Tank engine at max speed: Nothing out of the ordinary. Now let's look at some of the newer sounds: Magnum minimum-power shot: Juggernaut engine: Meteorite explosion (from 2018 Cosmonaut's day event): Rugby ball drop: Striker shot: Supply ready sound: Notice that all of these sounds have practically no frequencies above 6 kHz, unlike the older sounds, which have a considerably larger frequency range. It is as though someone took some normal sounds and then indiscriminately applied a low pass filter to all of them. The question is, why? Doing so makes everything sound worse. Compare the sounds of RGB to those in CTF or CP. RGB quality sounds much worse. Compare the sound of a Striker or Magnum explosion to a tank explosion or mine explosion. The latter sound much better. Why is it that audio quality is seemingly intentionally going backwards? It's all very strange. Admittedly, not all of the new sounds have a frequency cutoff at 6 kHz. Take the Juggernaut Railgun sound: . . . or the sound of double damage being enabled: Both of these sound fine in game, and unsurprisingly, have a normal frequency range. Juggernaut voice lines sound fine too. So why do the rest of the sounds have such a limited frequency range? Why is audio quality so inconsistent in this game?

    help with missions

    Are you sure you are playing in MM and not PRO battles?

    Challenges are here!

    I like this system. Incremental rewards, a lot of time to earn stars (none of that star week tryhard rubbish), and nice prizes for both buyers and free players.

    Complaint Book

    I have enough to afford everything I want. I could buy M3 kits and alterations - but why buy M3 kits when you can MU M2s? Drones and batteries are not relevant enough right now to buy, and are a massive crystal sink. Honestly you can't blame someone for not being able to afford drones, since they are really a think only affordable by buyers or players with a LOT of crystals. The economy is better than it ever has been now. It was much harsher before - no containers, no weekly missions, abysmal crystal rewards for the losing team, MU-ing all the way did not give you the next modification for free, etc.

    Complaint Book

    Hello. I am a free player. I could buy some OP alterations right now if I wanted to.

    Want to get more players? like in 2014?

    Railgun is weak but I didn't read your post right the first time, sorry.

    Let's Discuss Firebird!

    Current Firebird kills light hulls in ~2 seconds of direct firing, mediums in 3, heavies in 4.

    Complaint Book

    Can you really not run it? It's designed to run on mobile devices, even the worst PC should be able to handle it.

    Want to get more players? like in 2014?

    Railgun was a "noob" weapon that deserved to be nerfed, and if you think the current Smoky is weak you need to play the game some more.

    MM Maps for Download

    In the following link are all the matchmaking map files for download, in the case you want to edit them in AlternativaEditor. Also included are some (relatively) recently added / changed maps, such as Canyon, Magadan, Deck-9, Madness, and Novel. The only map lacking is Sandal MM. I will add it when I can. All of these maps are in the summer mode. I didn't include winter maps because not everyone has full winter prop libraries (myself included). Another important note: none of these maps include spawn points (won't work in TTT). I will add them tomorrow. Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wdwynijpjpjswmx/MM_Maps.zip?dl=0

    Gamer's Club

    CS:GO is now fully free-to-play and has followed the whole stupid battle royale trend: I'm not a huge fan of this update because 1) There are going to be more cheaters 2) I actually spent money on the game 3) Battle royale is not very good
  19. Goldboxes? You complain about goldboxes? There is no teamplay in the game regardless of whether there are golds or not.
  20. According to the wiki, weekly containers have fixed contents based on rank. Does that mean that if I save my weekly containers and open them after I rank up, I will get greater rewards?

    Rant: Tanki Needs to Re-evaluate Balancing

    This is all true, and yet the devs go and completely rework game mechanics or introduce new ones - Vulcan rework, afterburn change, drones, many new alterations. Minuscule changes would have been better.

    Tanki Online Old Vs New

    I understood you as saying that WoT and War Thunder were responsible for many Tanki players leaving, which I don't think is true.
