  1. Wow! You and your "associates" are the sole source of revenue for the game! I never knew that you were responsible for the existence of TO.
  2. Let me rephrase what you said: "I don't like the game, so it's going to die." Tanki X has been for about 2 years now, I think we can safely say that it will be fine. Tanki 2.0 in it's most complete state wasn't really much more than a tech demo and didn't get anywhere near as far as TX. If HTML5 had worse performance than Flash no one would switch to it.
  3. We need a forum game that continues this list.

    Mandatory joke:
  5. It might be good to say something about price, for example I think Predator is overpriced for what it offers. You get a similar package in Matrix kit for significantly less. Otherwise, another pleasant newspaper article. There's always something about them that is so . . . likeable.
  6. Unity does not have browser support, and since the majority of players play TO in a browser, the developers decided to use Unity for a separate game. Currently TO is being converted to HTML5 and I think that is alright.
  7. What a useful topic. The "tanki is dying" warriors are back, it looks like.

    Hahahahahahaha. Tanki HQ: Ivan: "Hey comrades, there is player here, he ten years old. He break EULA, we ban him now!" Boris: "But Ivan, he took mom's credit card and spend $100 on game, we cannot ban him!!!" Ivan: "Ah comrade, good point. We buy vodka with $100! Boris, you get raise for wonderful idea." In all seriousness: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=339191 Look at the first sentence of Maf's reply. TO is well aware that most of its playerbase is kids and they are fine with that. Who can prove that I am over 18? Who can prove that my guardian is aware of the game if I am under 18? I guess if someone plays the game and they are 10 it's a physical impossibility and the universe explodes? Even if I wrote an email to Tanki showing a picture of myself and wrote "I am 10!!!" a hundred times over no one would care. The irony is that you were told in a topic you started that the game was geared towards kids. This was a year ago!

    It is possible. When I was Colonel I started upgrading my Viking M2. This was back when MUs were 50 steps and cost more than the next modification or equipment. When I was Brigadier, I had Viking M3. Some of the MU steps I did during sales, some not, and the last one I finished when MU steps were divided so there were only 10. Had I begun upgrading with the current MU system and on sales, I probably would have gotten Viking M3 even earlier. Also, how can you earn only 186k after 480 hours?? Do you leave all your battles before they end or something? I have 530 hours and I've earned 950k total.

    Battle lists all Pro battles

    Read the news. Non-pro battles were temporary removed from the battle list due to lag. Things will be back to normal after November 6th. Please don't make topics like this.

    LOL. Seriously, you shouldn't be getting this worked up about a game. Take a break if that happens, after all, you play the game for fun not frustration. No, this will not be like matchmaker, because when MM comes out there will still be a battle list to choose from, where you will be able to create custom battles for free. Although I suppose since you are really focused on missions, you won't like it, because the catch is that missions won't be able to be completed in custom battles.
  15. He said he cleared the cache. May I ask what the graphics card has to do with connection issues?
  16. Players won't be able to leave without a penalty in the final iteration of matchmaker. Also, don't you get bad players in normal battles too?

    I'm assuming you are using TankiViewer? If so, go to data>colormaps>custom and then replace one of the paints there.

    A thought of why majority of players are unskilled

    These players are druggers grinding EXP/CRY. Whatever enthusiasm I might have towards the removal of PRO pass and the ability to create battles for free is dampened by the fact that these games are probably going to be the majority. Good old days, when people actually played certain maps.

    Actual Damage of all Turrets list

    Actually I might do this, because I like this kind of thing. Except I think I want to make a chart, with categories such as 50% probability range, 75%, 95%, etc. If anyone wants certain values to be shown (eg 30%), please reply.

    It seems servers are really loaded. I have a good connection and I'm using client - when everyone was complaining about getting kicked out of battles and having long loading times during UBL I had pretty much no problems. But today it takes forever to load even the choice of battles.

    Let's not forget that all the battles are on one server now.

    Actual Damage of all Turrets list

    Add max damage + min damage and divide by 2. If you want a normal curve for each turret, you are asking for very specific information that simply won't matter in battle. Yes it can be done, without even testing the turrets out in game, but it is a waste of time because none of this info is going to be relevant when you are actually eg planning an attack on the enemy base. For example, here is the normal curve for Twins M4: Like with all normal curves, the probability of getting a shot from 201-209 is about 68%, and from 198-213 about 95%. Since all turrets use this same curve, you can calculate the probabilities for each of them using this website. This isn't entirely accurate because I made the SD up on the spot, but it's not that far off. Again, I don't see how this can be useful to you in battle. On the subject of distance no one knows the exact formula. If you want a very rough idea, you should look at the "weak damage" parameter. For example, Twins does 25% weak damage. That means at the maximum range (which is 80 meters for Twins M4) it will do 25% of it's normal damage, or a range of 48 - 55.

    Actual Damage of all Turrets list

    Here is the Wiki page for Twins. 220 is the max damage, while 190 is the min damage for Twins M4, which I assume you have. So it makes sense for you to get something in between, around 200. Same goes for Thunder and Ricochet. You are just looking at the maximum damage, even though there is both a min and max parameter. I'm not entirely sure how you can get confused here, since the description of a turret in the garage shows min and max. Most of the time you will get something in the middle, which is why you get rolls of ~800 with Thunder and ~325 on Rico.
