I was pretty sure Tanki was going to die long time ago. Well, the game was in a steady but slow decline. I don't know where is that breaking point when business becomes unsustainable. For what it's worth - BR cluster was able to run with as low as few hundred players before it was shut down. We might be here for a long haul before Tanki dies!

The present Silence map is not exactly the old (popular) one. The old Silence was simple, slightly unbalanced and that was the beauty of it. Then devs decided to 'improve' it. Now I think it has more commonalities with the Future than the old Silence.

Long time ago I decided to check out WOT. While it's fine and dandy and all, it was a bit too complex for my taste and I just was too lazy to learn all the tricks. Tanki was simple and it was key. So I went back to Tanki. Now I guess it's time to find another game.

Drones are evil. Just get rid of them ALL!

Any logic in this game is long gone. Of course devs can explain that the damage you get is such and such because of drones, overdrives, alts and blah, blah, blah... But how is this helping 'normal' people? In the past when everything was clear and predictable you could think of tactics and strategies. Now you may just roll a dice if you will get killed in the next second or not no matter what modules you have.

Be it as it may - we will never know if probability distributions are manipulated or not. It's only as far as you can trust the devs. I don't trust them a bit after all the lies. That's why I don't buy. YMMV.

Tanki officially gone mad.

Target GS is largely pointless since: - devs allow low ranks to have fully upgraded equipment with sky-high GS - battle outcomes are largely random and mostly depend on how many AFK's u have in the team - money can boost your GS a lot, well that's a sad fact of life So, if for example we say that a Major should have 5k GS what does it mean? If you are 4k is that really bad? Nah. But if you are 6k is that cool? Kinda, but not a lot.

Don't forget BR had so pathetic online they had to merge it back. Did not help much though ?

I hate challenges ? Why? I'm not here for crystals and pixels (paints, skins, effects, etc.) I'm here for action and emotions. And that's became a rare commodity in Tanki. Like the TS I rarely get more than 100 stars. Now I have 2k but I don't really care.

For me it's not about technology but more about business model. Flash represents remains of the game when company actually cared about players. Now it only cares about profit and that manifests throughout new UX design. E.g. everybody complains about inability to check mission status in battles. Well, it's by design to discourage players from leaving battles in the middle. Smart yeah?

I don't support the course Tanki took in recent years. So I show my non-support by not supporting devs. Unfortunately many people still buy stuff so devs are not getting the clue.

You trying to find logic in a place where logic is long gone.

Buddy please remind me a year later. Maybe I'll remember then.

It's more than that. When paying in actual currency you pay exactly the price of the item. Now you need to buy tankoins in fixed packages and typically you end up buying more than you need.

Share the stats or we call your BS.

If you played this game long enough you might know these positions existed in the past. From what I remember - occasionally you could see them used in creative ways but nothing to cause any major disbalance. Though we shall see about these new creations. And MM it's usually a dice toss. Playing 5 vs 8 there is little you can do.

Here is out of the box one: try professional networks like LinkedIn

Standalone Flash still works fine. Enjoy while it lasts...

So Tanker's Day came and passed with online peak not exceeding 13k. Just putting it here for the record ?

Well, how about this angle - at the time of quarantine when people had pretty much nothing to do but play tanki, the stats were about half what they used to be couple years ago at normal times.

These families are quite unlikely to buy paid content. Hence devs are unlikely to care.
