Its fine that you're treating yourself, especially with all the hard work you do, but I think the monetary issues are the root cause of the problem here. Your parents, however much they might have done for you, do not deserve your complete support should it deter you from doing what you choose with your income. It is your income, you have worked to earn it, and it is yours to do what you choose with it. Now, if what you choose to do is to buy an xbox, that, a few weeks later, you stop playing, that is not a good investment of a lot of money into a relatively new "gadget" that is practically useless to you. You, and your parents, must make better financial choices if you are to continue living as you are. It seems like your parents are in a spiral of denial that their indulgence in birds and holidays is not affecting them, instead using your income to float their sinking ship. Instead of buying that $200-$300 xbox, you could've got a new smartphone with a data,minutes and text plan for at least 2 years. After your contract expires, you are allowed to keep the hpone, meanijg you can get a sim-only deal from then on, saving you even more money. A phone enables you to stay connected, and use all the practical applications you might need e.g. alarm, camera, calendar and notifications. On top of this, you can use it for entertainment purposes, essentially giving you a mini xbox as well - mobile games can be very good, and most are completely free of charge. I find it shocking that, in a first world country like America, people still have to cope with falling behind on technology, putting them at a serious disadvantage in their employment chances, as well as being problematic in day-to-day life. There have been countless times in my job where I have had to look something up, or read something, or send a quick email, that without my phone, would not have been possible. In today's day and age, a decent phone is almost as necessary as an internet connection. Furthermore, I completely agree with previous posters that the "racing dream" is quite unrealistic, and to avoid going homeless, you really need to have some sort of a backup option that isn't working at burger king. Yes, we have all heard "follow your passion" and "only do something if you love what you are doing" but unfortunately the harsh reality is that in today's world of competition, we all have to do things we don't like doing merely to survive. Perhaps, once you are settled with a decent income and some savings in the account, you can enjoy some racing on the side, but seriously, pursuing solely professional motor racing without a steady income could be disastrous in the long term. You should finish your education, at least graduate high school and think about your options from there. Some career opportunities have been mentioned previously that do not require university degrees, so you should do some research into those and find out if they suit you at all. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours DA

You see, I dont understand why people do this. Surely, if youre gonna buy a new m3 or m3 kit, youd want it to be something that you have m0, so that you havent wasted all those crystals getting m1 and m2. Only exception I can think of is when you are extremely skilled with the combo/like it a lot and want it m3 asap, or if the kit has a great module that outweighs the cons of upgrading from m2 to m3 rather than m0 to m3. This is also why, ever since tanki released the update where u can get m3 without buying m1 or m2, accounts which stick to 1 combo through to marshal are so successful, as can build up a huge stockpile of crystals through the ranks because they only buy and use one combo, and then splurge on lots of m3s, straight from m0 at marshal.

XLR8 vs AARP mini clan war (unofficial) PhatDawg (friend of mine) started inviting all his clanmates and friends so I did the same and we played a really good game. Those noobas started camping with isidas once we were in a flag stalemate but we managed to hold out for the 2-1 win :P

Railgun is the epitome of egocentrism. There are so many arrogant people who justify their skills by saying "go 1v1 xp noob?" as if using railgun is the only way to show any form of skill. Try facing me with hornet smoky 1v1 - ill turn your tank into a roundabout. Also, I have been called out as a noob many times in xpxp games before the game even starts simply because I dont have many xp hours on my profile. That dosent stop me from completely destroying them:
-
Perhaps thats because you are using m1 shaft with m1 wasp - the description of shaft even says to use it with heavy hulls. Also, at captain you will be facing m2s the majority of the time and even highly MUed m2s and m3s - your equipment is underleveled, so its not surprising that you die often.

The repair kit is fine in my opinion. Its meant to be a repair kit for a tank, not a charge headfirst into battle and be invincible for 2 seconds steroid which was what it was before. Therefore, it should be used when no enemies are around, or when hiding to recover your health - after a fight is done. If you are fighting another tank and want to heal, find some cover and do it. If you are out in the open, thats on you - then your tactics have meant that you dont deserve go get full health back in that duel. Keep in mind that if you are in the open, your opponent(s) most likely are too. Footnote: I&S mods allowed to "Under Review" their own ideas? Surely get another mod to provide a second opinion and do the judging - kinda biased if you judge your own idea.

Ill 1v1 him, rico viking, no problem. Arrange a time and a date, ill be there. m2 rico m3 viking, no protection.
-
Depends on your playstyle and map choices, they are completely different turrets. Judging from strength at m2, considering I have all of them Id rank them like this : Firebird>Ricochet>Railgun If you play small maps e.g. Polygon,Island,Arena, buy Firebird If you play medium maps, buy Ricochet If you want to play xp/bp or play on long range maps, buy Railgun
-
Yeah but did you have a large stockpile of crystals to do those MUs? You will have, maybe, 120k after ranking up? Full MU without rankup costs about 220k-240k. Earning 100k in one rank is totally possible, but it will mean that you definetely wont have enough crystals for a m3 kit. IMHO m3 kit > full MU m2
-
MUing m2s to m3 shouldve started in the lieutenant ranks. If you dont have significant progress (5 or more MUs) on anything other than viking, it is too late to start now.
-
No, im pretty sure you lose the m1 version of the module. Why would you want it anyway? If i had a m1 Badger T-A and i bought a m3 Badger T-A i will lose the m1 Badger T-A

500 right?

Nives any response?

Rah this is actually so dope. (Ignore the stereotypical gangster rapper music video) But his dancing is ok, and his flow is fire ^_^ (tanki should have a fire emoji) Didnt think Jaden would be a musician, perhaps he will one day come out of his father's shadow. Its a good listen to anyone who appreciates good rap, not that lil pump and mumble rap **** thats going around right now.

Russia Gamer Oficial (hes Brazilian though xD) He is the only tanki YouTuber i know of that has run/ is running a good, successful Road to Legend without buying crystals. He might be partly funded by gold boxes dropped by his fans, but hey, thats a tradeoff im willing to make.

Get a m2 kit like stinger or avalanche, or save your crystals for a sale when you can buy 3 m2s of your choice on a 50% sale with 150k. You have more than enough m2s. I am surprised you are still thinking about m2s when Lt Gen is right around the corner. Save for a m3 kit at Lt Gen, and in the Lt Gen and General ranks, MU your best m2 to m3 so you can get it at Marshal. Its good that you already have m3 viking and 100k, but earning another 200-300k in one rank will be a push, especially since you are so close to rankign up.

I have a question for you Riddler. When thinking of your ideas/requests for tanki, do you ever take anything other than your own personal needs into account?

I would suggest getting Ursa T-H (Magnum, Rico, Isida) and you would really want a module against those. Thats also the best Magnum module in my opinion, and magnum protection is a must nowadays. I am also going to be getting that module in the Christmas sales. You would also want something better than smoky to use as a medium range turret. Smoky is incredibly weak at m3 compared to the other m3s, but the plasma turrets are very strong. I would recommend Cardinal, but the module in there is long range and you already have one of those. Hence, I think you should go for Rock Climber: The titan will work great with your smoky or the rico, the rico will work great with your hunter and the module is Twins Isida Vulcan only twins is overlapping with your other modules, and considering the strength of twins, thats not a bad thing. Overall suggestion : Get the module on a sale, Buy the kit and plough any remaining crystals into MUs

Im a noob at screenshotting ok? I was too busy typing =D in the chat to remember to press Prt Sc

m2s arent costly imo. Roughly 50k on a 50% sale, and you should only be buying in sales. I had wayy too many m2s that i should not have bought but I still did fine. e.g. vulcan (never used, it is the worst turret imo but I got a PD on it) rail (never played xpbp until m3) freeze (once i got fire it was useless) rico (i even have MFS for this, i only bought it for noise specifically) mammoth (bought for heavy battles, but never used it much, and once i got titan it was useless) Remember that you still have many hundreds of thousands of experience points to go before reaching lieutenant colonel when m3 kits unlock, so endulging on a few m2s isnt a bad idea. How many MUs do u have on your twins and viking? Its not a bad idea to get them 10/10 if u have a lot of MUs on them already.

i also was on fire for this game :D :P difference is, this time we actually won ;)
-
Ughhhh :angry: :angry: -_- <_< Absolutely carried this team, dominated the opposition, got a KD of over 2. Still, team lost. I need to find an active xpbp clan to play with because I cant stand these noobs in these games, ruining it for the good players. The guy who left our team, probably didnt want to be screenshotted with a KD of under 0.3

I guess there is no communtity support/demand for this idea. Perhaps it was too long of a read for most -
