So your saying that if crime exists, that more police won't help to curb the crime? Let me give you an example of how anti-cheats are always behind the criminals. Drug testing. Peformance enhancing drugs are a profitable business. Everyday they are coming out with new undetectable drugs that can gone unseen with an "anti-cheat" engine called a drug test. What would work signficantly better than continually trying to keep up with criminals staying ahead of any anti-cheat mechanism would be people assigned to uphold the rules. Same thing applies within this game young man. (I am assuming you are a young individual because you have an air of naivete associated with your comments) So in a nutshell, you are completely incorrect in saying that an anti-cheat engine would be a replacement for more sworn officers of the rules of the game. Anti-cheats usually lag behind advancements in cheating and can only be employed when they can be proven 100% successful against a given cheat. Unless you have a magic crystal ball, and can somehow figure out ever single flaw and how many different exploitations of those flaws along with prioritizing them in the order that they will occur without sacrificing advancements to possible later version of this game, I think you are kidding yourself. Just doesn't work effectively, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't make a lot of crystals with shaft, but the good news is your kdr will go through the roof.

I like my story better, because it is a little more fact over your fiction.

I have a great idea and if we all scream loud enough like little girls they might listen to us. Stop posting 2.0 topics!

One time I was in a battle, I shot at them and killed them, they shot at me and killed me. We captured a couple of flags between each team, then one team won the game.

You have enough weapons. If you are fine with dictator go get a paint for it. If you don't like it all that much you can either M3 your hornet and leverage its speed, or start your upgrade path on either viking or mammoth. You have plenty of options, but just understand that if you choose to go down the viking or mammoth path it will take quite some time to get to that M3 tier as it is quite pricey. Based on what you have now, I would just grab a 10k - 15k paint for your dictator and ride it out until you get the cash to upgrade your tier 2 hulls. Gives you a better chance to earn more money now and make another upgrade sooner. You spread your cash around in the past without a clear path, and that is why you are having trouble earning at this point.

This anti-cheat system is not working out to well. Since its implementation game performance has gone down the tubes, and it hasn't worked at all. We now have flying tanks and tanks that can grab flags lightening fast. At some point Tanki needs to realize they can't stay ahead of the hackers and just start bringing on a larger volume of admins to quick deal with these issues. I applied for a moderator role and received no response. I could have had more than a handful of these individuals removed from the game by now. The first line of defense in managing corrupt users is game moderators, NOT a cheat engine which impacts game play and doesn't work. Get ready to start losing paying customers.

Tanki 2.0: The great white whale of internet games

thanks for reposting information you can find in the garage or here. I guess reinventing the wheel is your forte.

1. Like the person above me said, you need to constantly change the camera angle. 2. if you can kill things from "around a corner" it stops you from getting shot at/ 3. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection (or deflection in this case) 4. If you are in direct LoS of an enemy either shoot at the front edge of their tank to knock their shots off target or bounce a shell off an object into the rear of their tank to knock them off target. 5. if an enemy is on higher ground than you, you can bounce shells off ramps to "lift" their tank and get them off target. 6. If a freeze (or any other unit really) catches you from behind, move your turret just enough to bounce shells off a wall to hit them. No need to bring your turret all the way around and shoot them in the face. 7. Rico is a wonderful weapon while on the move. Beyond just using its shell bouncing feature, and camera movement, learn how to effective move your turret while on the move. 8. if another rico is bouncing shells off a wall at you, first get out of the way, watch direction and the angle on the shell, wait until his burst is over, line it up and fire back.

So you can't read anything more than a sentence at a time?

Ultra: Three things effect content: 1. Business Metrics If I had to wager a guess, updating content is based off of a couple of key financial indicators. The primary one being the revenue growth. If the revenue stream is still flowing in a constant line of growth, it may be hard to see whether or not new content is required. User communities and forums are not exactly the best place to glean information from because it can be only a small sample of your overall user community. I would definitely say they need to look at other benchmarks, such as returning users. More specifically, power users that play at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day that have purchased crystals at least 1 time. Once those start to drop off then it is probably time to refresh the content in the existing game. Retaining users that purchase crystals is the name of game in this business. 2. Cash available 3. Resources In this instance, resources specifically means the ability to allocate finite manpower to a given job based on what cash you have available. People don't work for free. Once you strip out all of your costs, Office space, Utilities, servers, maintenance, marketing, etc. then you have a budget left for R&D (research and development). My guess is that a large portion of R&D is resting in the 3D engine itself as that will be the primary piece of software that they can license and make mass amounts of cash on. From there you probably have an amount of resources dedicated to making 2.0 work. After that you can start talking about added content to existing game. Unless you are seeing a significant drop off or a plateauing of your revenue, all "new" content development would probably be best suited in developing the next generation of this game. Unfortunately it is taking quite a long time so it may be nice for them to throw the users a bone and add a new hull or gun.

Let me give you a tip. If you can't get the golden box, go grab some flags. Everyone leaves them alone and when all the Generals come in you get more points for each grab. Swing the game in your favor when you have the opportunity. You will get far more crystals winning a game than grabbing a 100 gold box.

Decide for yourself

There aren't any best gun and hull combinations. Make your selection based on what you think would be the most fun for you to play. If that gets boring, get something else. BIG SUPER SECRET REVEAL!! There are no best gun / hull combos! - Your welcome

What? Good for camping, but not good for camping?

Why ask this question, if you don't like to sit back and snipe, why would you even consider shaft? Most of the time people answer their own questions without even knowing it.

I can make that guide. Spam 2 / 3 /4 : when your almost dead press 1.

I am not sure if any of these items were addressed in the 5 pages after the Original guide publication, but here are a few DON'T's as Isidia. 1. Don't heal lower level weapons when you have a choice. That M3 Rico is going to do more damage over an extended period of life than that M1 freeze. 2. Don't crawl up the back of the people you are healing. This means, if the person you are healing can not move backwards without running into you, you are in the wrong place. You have a 20 meter range, use it. 3. Don't waste time healing units on their backs. Yeah you get some points, but if the other team wins you get ZERO crystals. 4. Don't put yourself in the direct line of fire. Always move behind another unit to minimize your damage and maximize your teams killing power especially weapons that can go "through" other targets (ie firebird / freeze). 5. Don't think that you are as strong as you were before the advent of Tier 2 weapons, even with drugs. You get your points healing and helping, not grabbing flags on your own in even battles. The best isidias are always the ones that help out their team.

Correct, it is about common sense application of drugs to maximize their output. Drugs are drugs, they are most effective when used efficiently and effectively. You seem to think drugs have some specific applications for each weapon and hull. They don't. How and when you use them is what is important, and going through a decision tree progression to come to a logical outcome is far more practical than believe each weapon & hull needs a specific drug to be effective. Any weapon or hull can be effective on drugs, including firebird, twins and smokey which you seem to dismiss in your guide. Calling someone a noob, does not make them a noob. We will let people evaluate my information against your information. I guarantee that all of my information is exceptionally practical, objective and effective and removes the ridiculous idea that drugs are weapon/hull specific, because they are not. This fallacy is easily proved incorrect by having someone with one of these hulls or guns use drugs against like competition that has not reached tier 1.5 or 2.0 weapon/hull status. While your guide has some valuable information, its biggest flaws are 1. It is weapon / hull specific which doesn't matter at all 2. It dismisses other players and their weapons "Firebird, smokey, twins get out of here" 3. It refuses to acknowledge that regardless of your team configuration that you claim is important, you neglect one small item. Other players can choose who and how they want to help you. For example, if isidia's are healing a M1 railguns instead of M3 tier 2 weapons, who cares what is on your team? 4. You actually are a proponent of drug spamming if you have over 100 of each resource. Drug spamming only works if a large portion of your team is spamming. There is much more I can pick at, but I think you and other readers will get the point. Just because you say you are an expert, does not make you an expert. So many factors that you ignore, but hey, I am just a noob right?

One piece of information that this individual forgot to address: The goal is to get your weapon to M3 NOT M1. Comparing the statistics of M1 units is a rather moot point and exceptionally short-sighted when you consider the end goal. Do your math on the M3 units, they are the only units that matter.

anyone can spam drugs, the trick is knowing when to use them effectively, where the opponent is on the other side and how the respawn cycles work. Let me give a brief example. I do not spam drugs incessantly. I use them at times when I feel like there is a benefit, such as 1. Getting a flag 2. Saving a flag - This is self explanatory. If even or winning and you have a good shot at crystals, use your drugs to save the day. If it is a lost cause, stop using your drugs immediately. NOTE: If the other opponent is stacked with players that have top paints, hulls, and weapons and you are playing alongside a group of wasps with twins and smokies........drugging is probably not going to help you at all regardless of either of these. So I will just make sure I give tips based on even teams, 0 / 0 on flags, as the thought process works well. Here are a couple of things I do, prior to pressing 2 / 3 / 4 and potentially 1. 1. Do I have a good idea of what is between myself and the flag? If you have not scouted the area and have a good idea where the opponent is and what they have, drugs aren't always going to help you achieve your goal. For example if the enemy has 2 M3 freezes with Zeus paint, and you are sporting an m3 rico your chances of getting to the flag and coming away with it are pretty low. 2. Does the enemy have units that can stop me from going forward quickly? If yes, is there an alternate route where they don't come into play or I can eliminate the threat. 3. If my route is not blocked, can I at least soften up the defense prior to drugging. I use this all the time. I soften up the target I feel is going to cause me the most problems to the point where they only have a few HP left so I can whack them with 1 or 2 shots drugged and get to the flag quickly. 4. Are there any isidia units around that are supporting me? Sometimes heals are not necessary with the right team mates. 5. Can I get to the flag @ full health without pressing 1 until after I have retrieved it? 6. Are the units that hold the most capability to stop me going after my flag in a different direction? If the freeze is attacking your flag and you are attacking his, there is less resistance to the goal. This is the RESPAWN issue coming into play. IF you can get to his flag before he dies, and get out the opponent doesn't have an effective countering unit to stop you from getting out of the area. 7. If you get to the flag, where are you going to drop your mine to make it effectively in taking out pursuers? Pretty simple. Just a risk matrix to get you to the goal of drugging effectively

Either weapon works just fine. IMO, Rico is a far more versatile weapon. At 60 meters range it can do quite a bit. Better weapon for flag grabbers and just as effective if not more effective at hitting objects that are not in Line of Sight (LOS). Thunder relies on LOS and splash damage, where rico just needs a wall and the distance between the wall and object to be under 60m. If you like to sit back from the opponent, cut loose and get kills, thunder can be very effective, but rico can just do so much more and top end damage over the same period of time for a full burst is higher. Either way, if you know how to use it, you will be just fine. As for Viking and Mammoth, take your pick. I have viking, but in retrospect I think mammoth would have been a better choice for me personally. To each his own.

Something tells me that RedSlayer thinks that cheats, hacks, and Scammers don't exist in the UK. The unfortunate reality is that the do exist there, just like in any other country across the globe. Sorry to burst your bubble of innocence, but criminals were the reason those regulatory agencies were formed by your government.
