When it comes to sustainable fire and damage over time thunder wins, but you also have to factor in thunders requirement to stay in LOS (line of sight) shooting at the enemy which also equals a bit more damage to your unit. So I guess at the point you are discussing M2 Thunder and M3 rail are a matter of preference. At M3 though, which is really comparing apples to apples, Thunder is just a better gun. One other thing of note is gun resistant paints. Prodigi, which offers the highest resistance against both guns, maxes out rail damage resistance at 30% and Thunder damage resistance at 25%. Paints consistently favor the Thunder gun in battle over rail because they consistently offer up less protection on Thunder.

None of these are video games, rather video game systems. The answers do not fit the question or Title.

This is a very good question

I wish that someone wouldn't lock this thread

Clearly he can kick Chuck Norris' ass!

I hate trees. Specifically Southern Pine. Going to get out with my chainsaw and whack all those MF's down to the ground.

When hungry always aim for the weaker animals that can not fight back, they require less ammunition to feed your appetite.

IF you give a man a match he will be warm for a moment, but if you light a man of fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!

I think it is racial jab at CAMBODIAN snakes. They also clearly advocate animal torture, where the hell is PETA??

The only reason why people complain about buyers is because it hurts their ego when a lower rank with better gear is kicking their ass. I, for one, am pro-buyers. I haven't spent a single dime on this game, but without them I would not get the privilege to play. Cheers to buyers!!!

If it is just about looking cool then buy any paint you want. If it is about function and I was going to drop that much on a paint, I would at least assess what it is I need as a player. First are you 1. A flag grabber 2. A long range shooter If I was a flag grabber I would get as much protection as possible against one of the following 1. Thunder 2. Freeze 3. Rail 4. Isidia If I am just going to stand back and shoot I would get as much protection against 1. Rail 2. Thunder The higher you get the more likely it is you will see these units along with Ricco (but I see it far less than the others). Twins seem to be a low / mid - rank gun. No need to be concerned with it when buying such an expensive paint.

I think champion paint should be a picture of Rocky Balboa KO'ing Ivan Drago!!

I was just saying that the unprotected paints are high. They should just be lowered 20-25%. The protective paints are a good price. If they were lower, everyone would have em. Then it wouldn't be cool. So 5 crystals is too high? 50 crystals is too high? 100 crystals is too high? hmmmm, must revisit the definition of expensive. The only two that are priced "too high" are mary and holoma (or however it is spelled). But is someone wants to drop 2000 cystals worth of their jack too look pretty, kudos to them. I wouldn't do it, but far be it from me to tell people what to do.

My name is eessydo. Back in the stone age of the internet and mIRC I chose the name Odyssey, then someone else thought it would be cute to steal my name, so I went to Odyssee, then someone started stealing that name. So I figured what name would then NOT steal, so I spelled my incorrect spelling backwards, and the rest is history. Unfortunately I am growing tired of eessydo. I am thinking of changing my name to CapitalistPIG in 2.0, because I pretty much only play this game and think it has some irony considering this is a Russian web site. I will put it up for vote in this forum closer to the 2.0 release.

No need for a link. With whatever system you are using go to a command line interface (CLI). Type in the following: ping www.tankionline.com OR ping s.tankionline.com It will should you information on packet loss (or no packet loss as the case may be) as well as ping time.

Tver is fine, I will post my results Location of user: Atlanta, GA USA Current game issue: Lag Game Server(s): All Time: (GMT/UTC FORMAT) 18:58 UTC Ping Time: 211ms Download speed: 66.1 kB/s Upload Speed: 150.5 kB/s Distance: 8400 km

Been pinging the www.tankionline.com server as well, but I can't ping the actual game servers so that is not overly accurate either. I figure we could at least get a general idea if everyone tests against the same server. As the sample increases eventually it would average out regardless of global network routing. I am pretty sure the issue with US players at this point is the network, not necessarily the game and this would help to provide evidence of that. my average ping time against the tanki server is 176 ms usually, but the lag I (and others) experience along with the constant disconnects is pretty significant.

Pretty self explanatory.

I wanted to put together a latency test log for the United States as game play is definitely taking a hit over here during the day and sometimes in the evening. I first wanted to see if we could get a consensus on the tool to be used. I use http://www.speedtest.net and wanted to determine which server is closest in proximity to Tanki's servers (either hosted or not) but am not sure which one is the equivalent on the map and use that as the standard. If any english speaking russian players could identify that server for use I would appreciate it as I am pretty sure that most russian players do not experience half the lag / game closures / etc. as the players in the US are currently experiencing. I think then we can start posting information that may be useful in the following format. Location of user: Current game issue: Game Server(s): Time: (GMT/UTC FORMAT) Ping Time: (ms) Download speed: (kB) Upload Speed: (kB) Distance: (in km)

How about instead we create a WAGER match, where you put up some crystals to get in the game and winners get other teams crystals based on points distribution?? Wager games would have ppl with more stake in the game. Easy to quit when you haven't lost anything, a whole lot harder to quit when you have skin in the game!

If there is one duck in front of a duck and one duck behind a duck how many ducks are there?

I live here.
