Interestingly, that time in my opinion was 2017 - October 2018 :D All the augments were balanced Alterations, or they tried their best with most of them at least. Cue the Compact Fuel Tank Flashbacks The only Status Effects were the supplies and Burning and Freezing, all of which have been in the game for nearly a decade at the time and barely anyone complained about their existence. Well, we did complain a bit about supplies being buyer-only, but the developers fixed that by adding missions and containers. Thank goodness. We all have supplies now :D Everyone had the same overdrive. Yes, it's a bit annoying cause a team can wipe out another team if they utilized their overdrives to their maximum potential, but at least we don't have certain hulls being weaker/stronger than others like today. Like Hornet's OD vs Hopper OD And Drones didn't come till October.

Well Tesla is the only turret with true Unlimited Ammo. All you need to do is aim. You can simply activate auto-fire (its been a while since I've been on mobile, idk if they still have that feature) and let the game do the shooting for you XD.

Lol, I thought Tesla was always HD :D More like, they need to change the HD skin lol. Cause the lack of silver stuff makes it looks too much like a Tesla M0 or M1 right now hehehehe. Not formidable against other M2/M3 themed turrets. Ooooh, have you seen Tesla XT yet?

It kinda needs more silver plating/armor to make it match the same aesthetics as most of the M3/HD skins of the other turrets. But besides that, it's the coolest looking turret in my opinion.

@Hex actually showed us what Tesla XT looked like on the Tanki Wiki Discord server lol. I saved an image of it but I won't show it cause idk if I'm allowed to.

Not sure if you guys saw it already, but here it is.

I honestly forgot too until LunaStar created this topic hehe. Lol, I stopped participating in wars after War: Domination cause I had left the game in 2019 and by the time I came back in 2020, Tanki was done with wars lol. But yeah, I know how nice they are XD. The Christmas War was like the first war they did in a while that was in a similar style as the First War and War: Domination :)

Okay bye everyone! I will return when Tesla is in the main game. I'll stay if it satisfies me. Otherwise, it was nice meeting you all:

yeee

NICE!!! I honestly have one of the lowest luck of all Tanki players hehe. Also I was busy today and I didn't manage to log on to do today's missions. And since I have no time to grind tomorrow, I guess it's time to quit.

War: Domination was the best. Not only because of the rewards, but it was a fun use of the stars currency, rather than copying Fortnite and making an impossible to finish Season Pass system. Also, Tanki Online's economy and gameplay was more or less balanced at the time, so that also added to the "fun-ness" of the war.

When Tesla gets released, I will use it as my main turret.

I know :( Also, wanted to point out, that Jammer Immunity for Titan could very well have been one of the Legendary Turret Augments had the developers not constantly keep making new status effects. I did hehe. But honestly, with battle passes costing 1,500 tankcoins and challenges needing 4,000 stars to reach tier 50, I thought it was better just to try my luck with the lottery lol.

:D

Well I just opened my last set of Containers, Ultra Containers, and Coinboxes today. I decided to purge all my tankcoins into coinboxes lol. The end result was a bit disappointing.

>:(

To be honest, I don't play on mobile so I don't really care. Mobile Tanki is extremely laggy for me and I have one of the newest models for an LG phone. The lag makes all turrets work horrible on mobile for me.

You guys had a huge missed opportunity to make the Alterations come with their own skins and/or shot effects. For example, Hammer's Slugger Alteration could've auto-equipped the turret with the OG skin that @The_Black_Pearl showed us above.

Proud Americans :D

Facts! 100% Agree.

If your teammates or enemies use Tesla, they can also shoot at your own balls to their own advantage. Basically, the balls of lightning Tesla shoots are the first projectile that Tanki has ever had that is "neutral". No matter who fired the lightning ball, any other Tesla whether it be ally or enemy can use it to their own advantage and shoot the ball to chain shots off and increase their range.

Perhaps in the future, the developers can release an alteration that focuses Tesla's power into the lightning ball @beachhouse Maybe something like this: Big Ball of Doom Special setting for the Tesla turret. Converts all electrical energy to a special reactor that generates massive balls of lightning that do huge damage per hit and can travel much faster than normal. Such a setting disables the turret’s default zapping attacks. + Ball Lightning damage increased by 33% + Ball Lightning projectile speed increased to 15 m/s + Enemy Teslas cannot utilize (chain shots off) the ball of lightning - Inability to fire normal shots - Allied Teslas cannot utilize (chain shots off) the ball of lightning

You should only use the balls to increase your range. Otherwise, the default attack does enough damage that it can easily compete against other short-ranged turrets. Yes, sometimes an enemy will be "dumb" and they will drive into the ball and you get a free 1500 damage :) But since the ball travels so slow, you should just fire the ball whenever you want to get a range advantage against people using Firebird, Freeze, Isida, or Hammer, or if you wanna siege the enemy flag/Siege Point/Defending team on ASL with endless balls, hoping it will clear the enemies out of their own base :)

To the people who keep saying Tesla is useless because it's so hard and confusing to use: Just press and hold the spacebar to use the normal attack. It works like any other short-ranged turret and you really don't need the ball lightning to be effective in battles with a Tesla.
