I personally disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. Its only in massive fund battles that a gold can be dropped to distract attention and you will make those 1k crystals back by capping a flag or capping some points, and if you are in a supplies-on game with a massive fund, then the supplies you will have used to get a high score in that battle will counteract the massive reward you will get at the end. If you are in a massive fund no supplies battle, then you wil not be able to use that gold box to divert attention, so the gold cannot be used for strategic puposes. Hence, 15k >10 gold boxes

Marc, how is this fair? I won within the consolation 50, and I am grateful, but the system you have used is very unfair. Why should the assorted 35 get 5k more even though we got the same number right and time was not a factor? If everyone was picked randomly expect the fastest player, then surely the rest should get equal rewards? The 'assorted 35' were simply just chosen randomly before the consolation 50? One of 2 things would make it fair: 1. Everyone gets 15k (lower end of prize spectrum) except the fastest player who gets 20k (or more for being fastest) 2. Everyone gets 17.5k (in middle) except fastest player who gets 20k

Woop Woop 50% MU 70% SU Cheers Tanki for a great end to a great year!

I agree with the smoky choice, smoky is one of if not the most powerful turrets at m3. Shame it gets its fall from grace at m3 though. About m3 modules, they are not ripoffs because you can MU them all the way up to 50%. It is realtively cheap to get them up to 5/20, and you get 40% from 3 turrets. In contrast, MUing m2 modules past 3 or 4 levels is not economically viable, so saving for m3s is the better option.

Ayy I won! (All correct and fastest time) I guess I need to trust my gut instinct more, I was so close to putting main page but something told me Marc would throw a curveball Congrats to all the other winners :P

Done, quite easy, hopefully I got them all

In non pro lineup, Polygon, Kungur, Highland, Iran, Silence, Serpuhov, Red Alert, Desert When i play pro battles i make sure play in games where MUs are off.

Twins m4 or Isida m4? Will be placed on a viking m4

we lost last time, no? I participated in the previous Reporters vs Players, we lost all 3 rounds

I enjoy playing xpbp and all, but whats the point of all the garage if you are gonna restrict yourself to 1 turret and 2 hulls? After a few games of xpbp, it quickly gets stale for me as i like to change my turret/modules between games to get a fresh experience every time. But with the addition of magnum, normal games are all blowouts, leaving me in a void where no gamemode is fun to play for a sustained period of time. As a result, combined with irl things, my tanki playtime has slowly dwindled down to just doing missions and logging off.

Theres no point in telling me to stop telling you not to grumble Secondly, better to submit something and try your luck rather than submit nothing at all and be left with 0 chance of winning. Since you gave yourself no chance to win, your grumbling was completely unjustified. Thirdly, all entries were posted on the topic. You couldve just monitored the topic and submitted an entry accordingly. Lets stop this before we get spam warnings :P Dont really want to stoop to the TSY level of spamming

then why didnt you? No point grumbling about things you couldve/shouldve done after deadline is over. Try your luck next time

You can MU them should you wish, but they do not receive MU sales. At least that is what I have understood, I dont have any XTs of my own to confirm

You shoot slower but the shots travel faster and travel longer. It is definitely useful on medium range maps, but Highland has many close range encounters, so I would not recommend it for Highland. It is suitable on something like Bobruisk, Desert or Future, where there are longer sightlines.

All those merge requests... :( Good luck in the future man, was nice having you around

Guido, rate my shaft xD Considering this was with m1, using m3 will probably yield far better results Out of the 5 deaths, 1 was to catch a gold, and 2 were because a mult pushed me off the map

Casual game on Highways, testing out m1 shaft to see if I should get m3 :P 2 Golds dropped at once, idk if it was server or player but I caught one :D

Done the survey

Its more expensive, but very slightly - worth it IMO for the time you save (they say time is money, so time is crystals in tanki xD) The small improvements I dont really realise, but when you stack and get something from 4/20 to 10/20, you really feel the difference. When I get the equipment that I wanna m4 up to arund the 15/20 mark, then I will start doing 1 MU at a time on sale days. Until then, its stock up, stock up and then blow it all on the 50/70 sales.

Perhaps if you had saved those crystals, you would be able to purchase that healer kit a lot sooner All of those kits are great, choose whichever you like the most Vandal IMO has the best turret out of fire, isida and twins, but the worst module: Vulcan and Shaft protection unnecessary when playing twins: you shouldnt be fighting long range. Vulcan is also extremely weak, no protections are needed against it Prometheus IMO has the best paint and the best module, Badger T-F is my go to module in close range maps Healer kit IMO is the most versatile, with a good turret, a decent hull - hornet is weak but it will allow you to play m3 xpbp when you get to marshal and a balanced module, though rico protections won't do you much good since they have the range advantage.

I thought you had no problem with drugging m4 shaft mammoths because you simply destroy them with your skill? In my opinion, buying healer kit if you have m2 9/10 is foolish, but its your account, and it seems like you are making an informed decision, so do what you want. Can I just ask, if you had plans to get healer kit, what was the point in doing expensive MU steps from step 5 to step 9? Surely if you knew you wanted that kit, then you could deal with using a m2 5/10 isida hornet until you got the kit? I just feel its a shame to waste crystals like that. I dont know if you want a piece of anecdotal evidence, but heres one anyway, with myself as the example. Thunder was always my favourite turret, but smoky was my most powerful m2 turret (i didnt have twins), so I used it the most. When it came to choosing my m3 kit at lieutenant general,I knew I wanted a Viking kit. I initially wanted to get Raiden, but I already had a 8/10 Thunder, Emerald paint and the Emerald LCG, so it would have been a massive waste of crystals. Instead, I bought Paladin, got myself a great paint, a great close range module, a semi-decent turret and my preferred hull. Now, at the time, I didnt think I would ever use the module, nor the smoky, but the smoky is very effective when the enemy have tons of thunder protections - I dont see many Griffon T-Ds around. The module is an absolute lifesaver in the island and polygon games I play, and the paint looks beautiful.

Yeah, Ill definitely get my Twins up to around the 10 mark, its one of my strongest turrets I have more than enough for shaft m3 on a sale - will have around 320k by the Christmas sales If I was going to do MUs, I am not a patient person, and I dont like watching my crystals dwindle down - I will stack them up and then blow them on a sale. I will do all the higher level MUs on a 50/70 sale. Yeah, 20/20 is probably a bit too much, however 15/20 is reasonable, and I will probably get it there before Gissimo. not a problem

My second account , shuv500, has had moonwalker since 2013. It also has traceur, if you think I got moonwalker in a container, traceur shows that I was playing back then. However, Maf said somewhere that the original moonwalker paint owners got a Wolf S-C M2 module, I did not recieve this. Any reason why, and where can I go to claim this? Edit: I did not ask this question sooner because I was not aware that old moonwalker owners were meant to recieve this module

Thanks devs for another extension to the 3x mission rewards. I think mission completion statistics have gone up by so much since they implemented this that they dont want them to fall again. Perhaps the 3x rewards should just replace the old rewards? :P
