Hey Taze, I really understand how frustrated you are. Fortunately its not something that only happening to you. Instead its a newly added game mechanic that was released when you weren't playing. This feature provides a 2-3 second vulnerability to the player to all damages when he spawns after getting killed. This is a balancing technique used by Tanki Online.
Imagine your playing Juggernaut mode in Tanki and your team is too weak to defend and opposite teams juggernaut is in your base just killing anyone there. This means that when you respawn after getting killed, immedietly you get shot and die again without even a chance to hit them back. Its also helpful againts druggers who stay in your base and try to kill you.
I personally think this is a good thing as before this update came as soon as you spawn some railgun player with Double damage would instantly kill you. Now its more balanced and Hard for your opponent to spawn kill you.
If you thought this was helpful pls leave a like.

All the the times that you rank up in The Flash server it will be recorded. You just have to go to the HTML server , go to special missions and just collect them . It will all be present over there. I also highly recommend you to play HTML server from since Flash might be removed perma.. Try to get used to HTML its not that hard !
Hope it helped you

The different ways to obtain a promo code is by :
 1. Participating in events (The ones that reward promocodes.)
 2. By following tanki onlines social media pages in Insta facebook etc.
 3. You can get promocodes when tanki does a livestream and you answerr the questions asked by them.
 4. Famous youtubers can do promocode giveaways in their channel so also have the notification bell on.
 
Note that : Some promocodes only work once so be the first to claim it. Also there will be fake sites, pages that will tell they will give but they will steal your data so please dont do that.

Since your a mobile player you can skip missions by watching ads. Note the point that these ads are not available each time you click skip. There are a limited video that can be played. This error can also happen when you click skip and the ad is running and you switch off you phone or lock it. If its happening again i request you to refresh the app and try again later.
This problemcan also occur if you have a low/bad network.
Hope this was helpful for you !
