OMG Sabry is finally a Helper!!!!! Huge congratulations mon ami Sabry on becoming a French Reporter! I'm so happy for you! I might learn some basic French now... xD

Hopper was obvious, but Heavyweight was an interesting point... I haven't encountered them in battle yet, but I think I'll get to see them soon as long as I play with Legends (thanks to an apparent bug in the MM system).

I voted for Gauss EMP Salvo, Hopper, and Heat Immunity. GaussEMP for obvious reasons, though I had half a mind to vote for Smoky-Autocannon. Vulcan IB is not so OP if used without Heat Immunity. Hopper over Hornet any day, but if I find a skilled Hornet user, I'll keep my distance. I think you should add Titan to the list of OP hulls, even though its OD has many counters. In SGE, if a Titan manages to capture a point, the OD recharge is insane, and any Dictator on its teams makes it even more OP. I chose Heat Immunity because it nullifies Firebird afterburn, Vulcan IB afterburn, Incendiary augment for Smoky and Hammer, and most importantly, Hopper OD's burning effect. For me, Stun Immunity comes second, which is crucial in CTF, ASL, and RGB. AP Immunity follows closely...

Bruh?

I think I forgot to mention that I got Heat Immunity for 2 hulls, one in each account. And anyways, I never have any expectations while opening any container, so I don't really feel disappointed. If people started getting Gauss EMP Salvo or Crisis so easily, it'll be a big crisis - it'll break the game. I think it's better that Ultra Containers stay this way. Plus, I had got that container for free, just by using 21 speed boosts, and I got 125 speed boosts. ?

Imagine Autocannon Smoky with Auto-aiming enabled on phone... brrr...

I believe you've already received your reward, but if you got supplies, then it'll be very difficult to check. Try checking all turret and hull augments, skins, shot effects, etc. Check your Goldbox count. See if you have any new paint. But if you managed to get Crusader XT skin or augments for Crusader hull, you won't be able to confirm it unless you actually get the hull (it'll be available in the Garage some time after New Year celebrations. Currently it's possible to get it only from Ultra Containers). I'd recommend you to contact Tech Support via email, stating your problem and asking them for confirmation (whether you the UT container opened and you got the rewards or not). You'll get a ticket number within a couple of hours, and the issue will get resolved within 24 hours (hopefully).

Nice skin... I mean mines... Hunting for Prime skins doesn't work well, does it? Santa seems to have forgotten your cookies though, and has given you Mines instead. You must complain.

OMG My Vulcan is Mk2 and I have no plans of using it xD But this will be a relief from Vulcan IB users and Hopper OD...

Are you playing on mobile or PC (browser/client)? On browser, refresh the page, and you'll get your Ultra container back, provided it hasn't been opened. In case it got opened, the rewards should have been added to your account already. If on client, restart the client. Again, if the container has been opened, the rewards will be there. If not, the you'll get to open the container again. If on mobile, close the app, remove it from recent apps, and open it again. In case you're sure that you haven't received any rewards, please contact Tech Support via this email: help@tankionline.com

Players with Mk7s and ability to play proper XP/BP format battles with Legends ruining the fun for players with 3k-5k (Mk3 to Mk6) GS tanks, by playing in non-format XP/BP battles... and they sometimes even refuse to unequip their Mk6-Mk7 prots... ?

I managed to complete the drop 5 golds mission on both my accounts, and got plenty of supplies from the Ultra containers... I caught 4 out of 5 golds that I dropped on Venerable, and 1 out of 5 on SHREYA88 xD. Hopper was very useful... And accidentally dropping golds or mines has never been a problem for me, as I've set "0" as the Goldbox key, and "7" as the mine key...

Time for Vulcan abuse? Nah don't worry I'm noob at using Vulcan and my Hornet is Mk2 (I'm not sure whether I've even bought Vulcan)... EDIT: My Hornet was Mk1 for parkour, but after this augment, I decided I'll upgrade it... :c

I think there are few annoying combos, and most have already been mentioned above, but the main thing that makes any combo OP and annoying is Supplies, preferably paired with an optimum drone (Crisis, Hyperion, Trooper, and others favoring usage of supplies). I've seen invincible Titan + Magnums, Smoky Autocannon + Titan, Vulcan (any augment, especially IB) + Any hull with Heat Immunity, and even Firebird-Vikings having 20+ kills and single digit deaths. In all cases I've seen seemingly never-ending supplies. I remember once that an Isida-Mammoth managed to reach our base, activated OD, and luckily our Juggernaut escaped. Hoppers aren't that annoying tbh. I don't see many Hoppers around, as compared to the time just after its release. I personally use it only on mobile. I mean, I've managed to catch so many golds recently without another Hopper competing! XD The most annoying combo for me is Magnum-Hunter right now, Magnum AP or Mortar and Hunter with any Immunity... I especially hate those players which manage to land their shells right on top of me with robotic precision... :c

Beautiful, isn't it? There's beauty down under...

I'm disappointed. You didn't use cringeomatical even once, and your ramblings took less than an hour to read. LOL jokes aside, I enjoyed reading this!

Marcus mask reveal!!1!11!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Huge Congratulations to the Best Helpers of the Year 2020!!! I've had the privilege of interacting with some of them, and those were really fun and enriching experiences! (and it's still fun to interact with those wonderful people on the Forum and Discord) EDIT: oh and congratulations to the Best Helpers of December! I didn't notice the topic before due to HOTY...

Nice story! I've been waiting for a Hippin work after "The Night Before"...

And here I was, hoping to read a kaisdf original... Merry Christmas to all, and a very Happy New Year!

To those who were born on this date (different year, of course)

What if my friend is a Helper?

Simply wonderful, dupuy! I'm so glad that you resumed your War for the Kingdom series! And congratulations to all other winners, the venerable Viking4s, Mr. Tony Stark, tcola (once again!), lose (I'd better not capitalize that "L"), Tokamak, and Merovingian (an old face ?)...

Ah, thanks a lot, PR! This helps clarify a lot of things...

Nice so my inference was correct. Thank you Issimo!
