Beware of Quacks... pun intended.

Shouldn't this be in Game Discussion?

Guys I wish to make things a bit clearer. You all can use this topic to reach out to other like-minded tankers who wish to play Pro battles with certain pre-defined equipment, in order to avoid incidents of players joining with wrong equipment and spoiling the fun. Feel free to post your preferred settings for battles and mention the time (in UTC for clarity) at which you intend to play. Then you could create the battle and post the link here. Interested players would hopefully join in a short while. Or you could use this topic to make friends and plan future equipment-specific battles. Remember, the more like-minded friends you have in your friends-list, the higher are your chances of having memorable battles at a suitable time...

I cannot speak or type in English, and it's my native language. (For the confused souls out there, English is NOT my native language, and the statement above was a joke, i.e. not to be taken seriously)

As Adri posted, it is merely a translation of Polygon map in some non-English language. There is no such map in Tanki. The old Flash tutorial map did not have any official name.

Funnier pic :D

That's a really cool and good quality picture... Awesome pic! Omg you've proved without doubt that Isida-Mammoth breaks the game, and Crisis shatters it.. xD AdMeN kOnt pLEz

MM needs to improve...

Whatever boosts were added before are still there. This time, on top of the previous boosts, only funds were doubled. Experience points weren't boosted beyond the already existing boosts.

This time experience hasn't received a boost. Many players (including me) are liking this, as for the first time in so many days, I am getting more crystals than experience points... xD

Could you please give the link to the source of this information?

Know what mate, you should try out the different Railgun augments out on the Test Server. (Type "Tanki Test Server" on Google, and the first link should take you to the test servers. Choose the one with most players.) However, the availability of the Test Servers is quite uncertain. So you'll have to check... EDIT: The delay isn't that noticeable. It's quite relative, to be honest. So if you are in a 1v1 situation with Railgun + Scout (the fast-shooting Railgun), you'll possibly resent the the delay before firing, and actually notice it. But If you face Magnum, say, then you won't really notice any difference.

I'd recommend Large Caliber Rounds (LCR) Railgun protection is very common in battles, and if Defender or Crisis drones are involved, it makes Railgun even more under-powered. But with LCR, the damage is noticeably increased. There are drawbacks like long reloading time, and the delay before shooting is slightly more than stock Railgun. But if you manage to steer clear of enemy fire, this augment will really help you. By the way, LCR can one-shot light hulls without Double Damage...

This was on Venerable. Shaft-Hopper (both Mk4), Highways CTF. For those of you who'd call me a camper, I'd like to say 2 things: 1. Camping is a skill (though I'm a pathetic camper), so I won't really get insulted... XD 2. I capped 1 flag out of the 3 flags capped by my team. I must say though, getting more crystals than experience points is heavenly... Another pic from SHREYA88: I had grouped with Terminator64, and look at the opponent team!!! I regret ranking up now...

It stays the same. It happened for Pythor, and I think ancient posts where Maf was pinged still have "Mafioso"...

Massive Congratulations to mon ami Le Great @Sabrytoun_Superman !!! Very well deserved, and I'm very happy that you finally got accepted to a Helper position... We shall have a new FR Reporter! Bonne chance, Sabry, for your cookie-dacy...

Maybe 2021?

I could join the Poetic Chat... I'll contribute casually, but I'll make sure that my part is satisfactory (that is, it'll give the readers a finger-workout...)

I might possibly buy an augment, provided I have enough crystals left aftee buying some Mk6s (which have just unlocked after I ranked up to Brigadier on my alt...) But 50% sales is good...

Alrighty I'm going to play a Shaft-only battle now, with any light hull, no protections, no supplies, only supply-drops, CTF, no augments. Map will be Brest, unless someone has other preferred maps. I'm a Brigadier now (golden star), on SHREYA88. Please let me know if you're available within the next 30 minutes.

You misunderstood his point, Thankxtu... He meant that both players in the 1v1 equip the same gear. Obviously, a melee turret will wreck a Railgun in close range battle. But in a fair 1v1, both fighters will have the same equipment! You say "skilled" XP/BP player. Well, if you challenge a player who has mastered controls, there is a chance that you'll lose! But if an XP/BP player challenges a player who has played with Shaft (say) for nearly all his Tanki career, and both are supposed to use Shaft, I'm sure you know the outcome. The XP/BP player will definitely win if the combo for the duel is XP/BP. But if the combo changes, it becomes more difficult. Hardcore XP/BP players have practiced so much, that they have memorized shooting positions (in certain maps), reload speed, shot delay, hull speed, etc. It's in their muscle memory. That's definitely a skill, no doubt, but you go too far by saying that XP/BP players are more skilled than other tankers. I myself love playing XP/BP, and I've seen very few players who have used these combos successfully in MM. And 90% of the time they need plenty of supplies, along with a quiet spot from which they can shoot without fear of getting shot at. Look, playing the game for so long does help in developing a "game-sense", and they do tend to have an edge. But that does not mean that they're far more skilled than other players.

My dear friend, I have created this topic so that Pro battle lovers get a platform where they can reach out to other players who are interested in playing equipment-specific battles. All you have to do is declare your availability, rank, and preferred combo (and battle settings too, if needed), and wait for others to express their interest. Then you or anyone else creates a suitable battle, and enjoy! So if you don't want Magnums in battle, just say so! Whoever agrees will join you! And we already have format battles, none of which allow Magnum. I assume you are referring to the Mortar augment of Magnum, and have no problem with the turret itself... in that case you can always turn Augments OFF...

Sure! Also, you might wanna rank down a bit...

All right let's stop... XD

Hmm I get your point. It also sort of slides, which can also help in dodging shots... But this element of randomness can also be problematic for the Hopper, I think, because the extra fast movements can lead to missed shots. Agreed.
