After legend 20 rank, it will be fun again for free player, as by that time, you will have full 50% protection, full garage MK8 turret, and full garage MK8 hulls, with most useful augments, and 1-2 fully MU-ed drones, tons of free supplies from challenge and mission. the only thing missing may be those buyer only container only augments, (hull immu and criss drone) of course, if you lucky, you can still get those with saved tank coins. and you are at same level of 9999 vs buyers/

for above, only one combo I can think off is Smoky with Freeze effect shot augment + Mamthom with EMP immu + defender drone (enable always on DA). + one healer with sabotur drone for mining

back to normal 8 vs 8 on large map. Hopper w AP immu (stun and fire OD) + Gauss w EMP + Criss drone (counter EMP disable w quick supply switch) + Mine 50% protection is the ultimate CTF combo ------ Hopper with Criss is fast: (those aim shot is hard to aim, like gauss/striker/shaft/LCR rail) AP immu means no one can break its protection (hornet OD/AP smoky shot/AP rail shot) Criss drone means hard to disable supply (even with EMP gauss, disable its supply only give 5s window, and you need to aim that fast hopper at first) Hopper OD and Mine protection means break into flag defense easy (stun give big time for its escape) Gauss EMP shot disable enemy miner and other defender drone tanks, and clear whole defense team w no supply + 2nd shot with Criss 250% damage to deal with protection less defense (unless you have gauss protection module) ----- Criss + AP immu basically means you are free from AP and EMP effect Hopper + Gauss EMP means you have Stun+Fire and EMP effect on hand to use Criss + Gauss EMP means you can clear defender drone and supplies users, and output clear (250%+5%) * (2170 damage* 3/4 ) = 4150 damage if other no gauss protection. ==> only 4000*(100%+5%) max drone heavy hull = 4200 can barely survive the 2nd shot if they not damaged much by first EMP shot. =========== means you need at least 2 defender w stun immu + 1 healer with EMP immu to counter 1 hopper guass user

Brutus 5% boost + 5% extra damage and defense is it worthy it? Defender give you 5% boost + 0% extra damage and 100% extra defense

this is my lucky day as free player for the ultra weekend, bring my faith back in tanki, lol

@Akame I saw you using new hull, ? also I saw admin boss using new hull, Opex-Rah

join the server early like server start, the first one join the mode will become JGR, so fast internet helps, I got some quite some time in server, 30% of time works. stick with the JGR, when enemy team killed your JGR and you die with your team JGR at the same time, you will be the next JGR for your team. (self destruction not count), works 100% time but if there is another person re-spawn at the same time, then that guy will be faster than you to become JGR, so lucky plays.

I got EMP immu augment for hornet and mammoth from free container, quite useful for run with flag on hornet or defense with mammoth, annoying those EMP gauss quite a lot. lol

on fast machine, 16vs16 is fun, like old tanki on slow machine, 16vs16 is lagging, bad Dusseldorf is favorite old map, the largest with a maze for hide and survive, ------------- defender drone is must to survive if you are carrying the flag, also, defender drone speed up reload of DA supply when using other supply, so your DA is almost always on, a must for holding the flag. of course, criss drone is better, but not easily available, those flag stealer in 16vs16 is always a hopper with defender or criss drone. climbing on wall and run like fly

get flag in 4vs4 old XP special mode is much easier than 16vs16 , lol yes, there is bug for hornet kill mission

dont worry, at legend rank, you can earn crystal quite quickly, I used to save barely 100k at your rank for every sale. I save crystal only for 50% sale and no speedup

1.3M crystal spent, full 50% module on the way, new hull and new gun, Adrenaline augment for 3 guns, mu of drones. need to save up for Xmas sale now

currently, the best anti-titan doom is WASP bomb, hunter OD and titan OD for long range support against titan doom, maybe smoke AP and gauss AP

only Freeze, smoke seems useful, as they can provide continue AP effect, and quickly apply to many enemies, but freeze damage is reduced too much, and without teammate, it is better to use normal augment. freeze AP only good to clear enemy under titan doom. other AP is too based on team support, and every short time gap to make it useful, same with hornet OD, it need team mate to support damage output

at legend rank and after, and with free 5000+ each supply+10000 mines and 1M spare crystals. supplies + crystal are relative low value than the shop suggests, as with challenge and weekly mission and boost weekend funds, most people never run out of supply + crystals. it is the shot effect / rare paints / coin based augment are the only things actually worth getting, since you can't get them with crystal, even at the end rank of the game. you save container for the only chance of getting those shop items. last month I opened is like normal case for the past.

worst 15 container open. old times, you get a least a blue level item what's more, ultra container is no better and sometimes worse than normal container, just supply and crystals.

if you drive on a ramp before jump, the projection jump curve is higher with faster speed.

you can't confirm that, the light weight for hopper will jump higher, in wiki: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Augments#Universal_Hull_Augments light weight says: " Any hull's weight is 1000 units " I have hopper mk 1, it is already 1 300 unit in weight, mk8 is 2 600 unit weight, hopper overdrive, Speed Jump: 1300 "Does weight affect speed or acceleration?", hornet and wasp speed is same even with light weight, weight only works when enemy shoot you with impact and when people push you. --------- dev already said only with Crisis drone, it can jump higher.

also, for 2 weekends with 4x XP, I rankup up in 4 days to legend 19 from legend 18. it used to take me 2 month to rankup 1 level. for end ranks, at least more 40k crystal free every 1 week, even though I already got 9999 gs

just complete the challenger today with 3024 stars. still have new weekly mission with x00 stars saving for next mission. first time complete challenger, great updates, but this month challenger the reward for gold tire not so good, I would spend hard earned 406 coins with next challenger 100 coins on better hull alternations. (hull alternation is the only thing worth the 500 stars nowadays, since they are more useful in battle and hard to get for free player) also, maybe wait for Xmas, as battle pass at 50% only cost 250 coins. so better make use of most value out of free coins.

people will shoot hopper first when the gold alarm start from now on.

me too, good update

I am a free player, I have all drone required, (some mu-ed but not all) I have 1200 battery, = 20 hrs. but to do 1000 kills in 3 days, means if 20 kils per battle (most likely less than that in average), 7 mins = 20 kills, that is 1000 kills = 350 mins = around 6 hrs if 10 kils per battle (most likely less than that in average), 7 mins = 10 kills, that is 1000 kills = 700 mins = around 12 hrs means each day to play 12/3 = 4hrs. if you sleep, that means about half of your life in that 3 days is tanki's

if you in lose team, you can still get 3 stars as 1st player in losing team, since most likely you teammate will left the battle when they realize all buyer on one side. so, you will be 1 vs 12 in a battle, and battle will ends sooner most time in 4 min. so 3 stars in 4min without drugging too much and just be a free player. thus 1 hr = 60min = 15 losing battles * 3 star = 45 stars ---------------- 900 stars / 45 stars = 20 hrs, (WHY fight for 1000 stars, tank coin is useless for free player, you not going to save 2 yr to get something useful) ------------- 20 hr, you can split into 4 hr session in weekends Sat+Sun+Sat+Sun, ----------- of course, most likely the situation will not work well for above ideal case. but the Free2Lose and Pay2Win team both got something in challenger, since it is just a battle, lose team still can get something, just dont get mentally involved to be winning side, there is not much difference, after fund re-distribution, nowadays, losing side still get much crystal.

1.5 Meter MIssion is not tracking the progress today, dont know why? it stuck there as 2554 kills since restart, even I make some progress, also the blue bar progress indicator for it also not showing , anyone has same issue
