'Nuff said.

Rulers don't retire Nice to have you back Conta B)

you gotta love Future

I already had the pleasure to talk to you and jamester in the battle chat. GL and have fun in the game ^_^

Welcome to the forum, have a nice stay! :)

+1

Thanks. Fixed

Erm... remember when I asked whether I can make one of these for an issue... No thanks :lol:

Same ^_^

Playing hide and seek with some staff members equally as bored as me...

I've got 48/55 AKA 87.3% Average 'B' grade for my school. I'm not impressed -_-

I use this. Very neat and easy to use. You can also use GIMP but its harder to learn ;)

I love your logic :lol: I accuse in heresy everyone who doesn't like the Harry Potter franchise. (this also counts for the meatheads who just watched the movies and think they are pro)

P.S. Use spoilers please!

Some random newspaper work...

[22:07:09] Brigadier Valletta: when I look at the article now I'm like "oh gosh, what drugs am I on?"

Tell me about it. I was completely dead on the multiple choice even :lol:

It has come to the point that Tanki Online desperately needs more money. Don’t ask. No time. The news we just received from the headquarters say that a very lucrative method of getting out of debt would be to integrate our machines for use on other duties. That is in other games, or in real life instead of different everyday equipment. A civil use for a battle tank? Oh goodness... Well, the first Tanki Online machine on the queue to sell to other investors is... Wasp. Wasp. Indeed one of the most unusual tanks in Tanki Online, not really a tank in that matter. Barely any kind of self-propelled machine, worth doing work with, actually. And let's not even talk about civil work, such as delivering milk to your doorstep or serving as workforce for your garden... Or is it? Here you will see what analogical not-vehicles there are in other games and real life, how Wasp would perform in their place and vice versa. I'm still wondering who will fall for the trick and decide to invest in this... The T1 Cunningham Since this is a vehicle from our rival game, WoT, I won’t go in much detail about it :P Let’s just say it is the World of Tanks equivalent of Tanki’s Wasp. Rugged, unstable, one shot away from just about anything. Many refer to it as the “Trollingham”, as it basically only works for driving around with dangerous speeds and hoping to get a kill. One major difference separates it from our beloved Wasp, though – its inability to do any sort of parkour whatsoever. As some may know, WoT goes for the realistic approach of things, so if a T1 were to jump off the blue team’s flag in Silence it would most probably explode upon impact with the ground. Thank god we have our Wasp instead! The Motorized (ride-on) Lawn Mower As unlikely as it may seem, the Wasp would be quite the substitute for this freak of machine kind that the lawn mower is. Since it is already used by lazy couch potatoes who don’t feel like walking to mow their lawn, why don’t we give it a little boost, huh? Stick a blade below the gearbox and put a sunbed in the place of the turret and there you go! An actual fun lawn mower that can accidentally run over the neighbor’s dog in its speed, and on top of that you can use it to pull your trailer on the motorway, considering it has the engine of a tank. Pretty neat, huh? Talk to me first when you’re patenting that! Santa's Sled Puller Of course! Since everyone here is certain of the existence of Father Christmas, his exact geographical location and his willingness to spend some leftover money on some modern tech, then why not sell him some Wasps! It's been quite some time since those poor reindeer have had a break anyway. I see it in my head! Petite Wasps in Christmas decorations equipped with antifreeze and upgraded tracks for the harsh conditions, speeding at at least twice the speed Santa Claus' old reindeer could achieve... Finally a use for Wasp's overpowered speed. It will be a lot more efficient, too - think of the cost reduction from all the wheat the man will be saving. The kids will receive their presents even faster if the Wasps put on an N2O package. A new business will be founded, "Express Santa", where the presents get delivered 3 hours early. Yes, this will be a real bargain! There goes tradition, though... We looked at a few potential uses for Wasp in other situations, as a substitute for its... design relatives (which also seem as useless as a solar-powered flashlight if not even more). Although Wasp is the most ridiculously looking hull in the game, it turns out that it is simply too good to just give away (or everyone is too afraid to put it in mass production). Although there are some quite lucrative methods to implement this little hull, and some of them are really tempting (I got a call from Santa Claus by the way), Wasp is perfectly charming as it is in-game and there is no excuse to sell it for service elsewhere. Looks like we will have to propose a different hull... Catch up for part two in the next issue to find out which one it is!

Around the corner in Dusseldorf, peeking through a hole in Subway, performing leaps of faith in Esplanade or just messing around with a couple of N2O packages in Wave... You never see it up close or get a chance to examine its behavior for a prolonged period of time simply because it doesn’t usually survive long enough in battle to let you do that. Many believe it is an incapable machine, but in fact it is a stealthy weapon mass destruction. Although light and maneuverable, it packs a devastating punch if you don’t pay attention. It is... the elusive Mosquito. The combination of Wasp and Railgun, fondly called the “Mosquito” by its users, does indeed resemble the silhouette of the infamous bug. Some will call it useless in a face-to-face battle due to its flimsy structure, but a true professional can use this to their advantage. This guide will show you how. Perfecting the use of Wasp and Railgun comes in quite a few steps. Before learning how to run one must learn to walk. Practice your skills on Railgun and Wasp separately, before combining the gun and the hull. You can enhance your Railgun accuracy on pretty much every hull. I recommend Viking, Dictator, Hunter and Hornet as their stability and torque somewhat resembles that of Wasp, as well as their driving style. Respectively you can train your driving skills on Wasp using guns with a similar recoil to Railgun, i.e. Thunder, Smoky, Shaft. [see fig. 1] Now, having trained enough to achieve pinpoint accuracy with Railgun at a large distance, and having minimized the chance to flip over with Wasp, you are ready to combine the two. At first the combination seems wobbly and unbalanced, such a heavy gun on this ridiculously light hull. After a full day of playing, though, you will see that the machine makes a perfect match. The elegance of a majestic Railgun rotating in tune with the Wasp, “flying like a butterfly, stinging like a bee.” One of the key steps to a good result is driving your Wasp backwards. You may already have the reflex in your fingers if you have played with Dictator, which similarly needs to be driven backwards to assure a lower profile and easier targeting when peeking through a corner. Fun fact: many hulls actually gain a stability boost upon being driven backwards – Hunter, Hornet and Viking have an increased chance of landing correctly after a high jump if they are driven backwards. The next step is doing parkour. It is certainly much harder than Ricochet in the fact that you have to use things like acceleration and angular velocity to climb, rather than the brute force ground shooting Ricochet uses. Parkour also plays a vital role because the good driver has a good sense of physics, and Mosquitoes definitely rely on physics. Understanding game physics unlocks a series of maneuvers used by mosquitoes to defeat their enemy in an elegant and efficient way. The experienced mosquito can fly and sting. [see Fig. 2] Yes, flying tanks. Jump off a hill while shooting forward and, instead of just hitting the ground to soften your fall, try to hit an enemy tank as well. In the case of Railgun one shot often equals one kill, so do not waste your shots. Use ranged advantage. Railgun, unlike most guns, does not lose damage value due to range (like Smoky, Thunder, etc.) You can simply drive your Wasp farther away from the target you’re shooting, buying some extra HP for your tank and not losing any damage for the enemy. Use your speed. Wasp, being the successor of the pre-rebalance Hornet, is currently the fastest hull in the game. In NS battles this automatically gains you an advantage over all short-ranged guns (Firebird, Isida, Freeze). Moving sideways is also used by Hornet and Wasp users to evade Ricochet and Twins plasma balls. Do not be afraid of corner shots. The game acts advantageously to guns with variable accuracy, like Railgun and Ricochet. You will often get damaged by these even though you missed the shot, but it passed inches away from the target. In this case, the game kindly adds the damage of your shot to the enemy. So, combined with Wasp’s agility, one can constantly be on the move, or just choose to camp, like what players used to do with the pre-rebalance Hornet. Gamepiong, one of the masters of that combination, confirms that “waiting for the perfect shot could take forever, but if you ever get the chance, take it.” Upgrades and paints. Mosquitoes, unlike other tanks, do not follow game rule #1, upgrade the gun first. Rather, you need an upgraded hull, as this is what gains you the ridiculous agility advantage. You may see M1 Rail with M2 Wasp, but rarely the opposite. It is just not efficient enough. HP loss can be minimized via protection paints. I advise protection from the mosquito’s most dreaded long-range rivals – Smoky, Thunder and Shaft. You should consequently choose Prodigi, Electra, Savanna alike. Having learned when it’s the appropriate time to peek out, strike or flee, you are now an experienced Mosquito driver. Practice makes perfect, and it is up to you to get better at this underestimated combination.

I suppose that the forum hiders group (a silly name indeed, like all of the above listed groups. I really think whoever was thinking of names was a bit rushed lol) consists of all the staff members who have the ability to hide forums, forum sections and subforums. Semyon is such. He can temporarily make the "Forum Games" section, for example, invisible for regular players.
