I have noob account to and i regularly get put into battles way above my rank. i just leave and hope the next battle is more closely matched which can take up to 3/4 attempts before all ranks are more are less evenly matched on both sides.

Agree. no more different modes instead concentrate on the MM system which at present is unbalanced ie MAJOR ranks going up against ranks as high as MARSHALS. That can be a difference of MK3/MK4 going up against MK6/MK7 and we all no who is going to win that battle.

come on maf do you really believe what you have just said. And to the best of my knowledge the only crystals that count are the ones earned in MM. ANY PLAYER that has a crystal/xp of 50 which that yarp cool guy player has (he is 2nd in rating) is exploiting the game ie CHEATING. TAFFY is correct in his assumption these players don't deserve to be in ratings leaderboard as they are taking away all the hard work of decent honest players who graft for months to reach LEGEND and try their best for at least a top 100.spot. The DEVS in my opinion have a duty to uphold the ethics of the game for the honest players who try their best and to remove the unethical players from the game,at the very least from all ratings and any (TANKI RECORDS) they might have acquired. I think this more than anything would show these type of players that exploiting the game unfairly is unacceptable and will not be tolerated whithin the confines of the game (tanki).

just looked at his profile. one word springs to mind CHEAT. these players couldn't get such a high efficiency rating playing normal MM they and others like them exploit the game unfairly to gain a high rating. In fair battles there precious rating would drop like a stone. Are they good players? who knows are they CHEATS in my opinion yes.

Its called being a smart player and taken advantage of module and the isida glued to him throughout battle.

Are have 3 hornet/magnums on your side and all the wise sayings are null and void GAME OVER.

tend to agree with your comment its hornets overdrive which is the real issue not vulcan/magnum/rail etc.

AbsoluteZero is the one to ask about stats he has detailed graphs on most of these players. sadly he left the game and im not sure if he kept up with the stats are not.

agree with the BEING A GOOD PLAYER but there are those that do so unfairly and basically cheat to reach top 100. And yet they still get praise off players which only boosts there already inflated ego beyond there actual skill level.

exploitation do you mean cheating if so use the word cheat if not explain what the word refers to.

yip i got told that the top player once got over 3000cry for like 10 xp dont no how he managed that but he did seems impossible if you ask me

its something to aim for for some players at the lower ranks for when they do reach legend.

any ideas how it is done?

yes could be that to. no one knows how ratings are worked out so we all just guess at how it might be done.

a good efficiency rating depends on xp to crystals. The more xp you have to crystals the better your rating. its not easy but double battle funds does help.i dont think supplies has a effect on rating. the more xp and the less crystals per xp seems to boost your ratings. i could be wrong but this is what i have observed with a lower account (general).

hello tanki developers.....all about the $$$$$$ yet again. BUT i understand that ... your a business and you have to make money. BUT here is the thing, 1 paints should be free are at least cap the price for all of them to say 10,000 cry. 2 i think you should bring out a module where you can choose what protections you want from say 4 guns. price for that say 500,000 cry ,protection starting at 35%. 3 ditch the r key its hard enough at gizmo level when your battling the enemy and holding down an extra key gives your opponent a couple of seconds advantage over you while your trying to figure out just what protection he has against you. 4 there are to many modules scrap half of them and give us modules with 4 protections instead of three. 5 as always only those players with money to spare are going to benefit from the new updates, giving them an unfair advantage over other players who cant afford the protections are the ridiculous amount of cry it takes to upgrade.6 the time it takes to upgrade some protections is way to long especially if you cant afford the speed ups.hope to see some changes soon. oh and one last thing.....GET RID OF THE STUPID LASER ON SHAFT.

sale not very good really unless your a lower ranked tanki player. the best sale ever was 50% off micro upgrades and free speed ups (see v-log 24) would just like to also say that the new system for upgrading paints hulls turrets is one of the worst ideas tanki have ever introduced. every player i have asked from the low ranks right up to gizmo has agreed with me.bring back the old system it was way better.example of this ... if i want to upgrade firebird i would upgrade damage first ...why on earth would i want to upgrade rotation speed when it is already very good the way it is. the system is a step backwards please put this right and give us 2 steps forward. 1 last thing GET RID OF THE LASER ON SHAFT we still dont like it never have, never will. shaft is a sniper (as in supposed to be hard to spot) i hope i get a positive response to this from the powers in there ivory tanki tower.

p

like it you take screen shots i write there name down and if they are at my rank i wait for the opportunity find them in battle and guess what ...they lose ...i go after them the whole game non stop relentless killing and they cant work out why im targeting them its funny and i enjoy it immensely ..BULLIES HACKERS SPOILERS they all get the same treatment me on there case for as long as they remain on tanki i never ever stop attacking them EVER. BY THE WAY YOUR SISTER SHOULD LOG BACK ON NEVER LET THEM WIN ....i wont .. fighting your corner bro. cos666

probs go for arcade but it will be tight contest ^_^

ah yes 1 more thing (what does it take to be a pro)....a telepathic like understanding of how each player on the team will react to any situation in battle. last point isidas are essential in team battles how come we never see them in pro battles.

i enjoyed the article made a good read . i consider myself (like every tanker i suppose) a good player my d/l is usually 7to1 in my favour has been since i started playing over a year ago.this is my point im hopless on rail never used it BUT apart from smokey can any other turret be used in pro battles my main weapons are shaft rico and twins. got to admit i do aspire to mixing it with the pros one day ....cos666.

P.S BY THE WAY IF I FLIP A PLAYER OVER IM NOT A SPOILER IM DOING THE GAME A SERVICE BY GETTING RID OF THE ***** SPOILING THE GAME FOR THE REST OF US ...EVEN IF ITS ONLY FOR 20 SECS ...LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN TANKI POWERS THAT B ....TA COS666

f:n its a topic a lot of players want dealt with ...to make it easy to get quick results against spoilers in battle ..at every level(rank) by quick i mean INSTANT ..STRAIGHT AWAY.. ASAP.. VAMOOSH.. GOINE IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS ,,PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIORITY TA COS666......

good about time ...but heres a problem for u to solve (spoilers in battle).... there are quite a few.... there should be a kick out of battle link by clicking on the tanki player who is ruining the battle for the rest of us. if 3 or more players from the same team click on it he or she is kicked out of that battle and a notification is sent to the powers that b about the 1 who was kickerd out. i think that would stop a lot of idiots from spoiling battles for the players who want to enjoy the game.
