To be honest it's Archipelago MM all over again - and believe me, it's the most detested map because of it's randomness and balance issues. I am against the idea of players getting different random equipment when the join the battle. It could mean that 5 players of one team got Isida-Mammoth and 2 got Shaft-Wasp (say), while the enemy team got a suitable mixture of all combos. Totally possible. Or it could mean that every player got a combo suited for large maps while they are playing in small maps. Imagine being Striker-Viking with a bunch of Smoky-Wasps dodging your rockets and knocking off your aim, while Freeze-Hornets slow you down with ease, and you have no way to fight back. Granted that you want players to leave the battle and join again till they get a desired combo. But that has problems again! It's like how containers work - there's a very high chance that you get common items (analogous to desired combo) for ages at a time. I'd like to tweak your idea a bit: When a battle is made in the Random mode, a certain combo(s) is (are) decided at that moment. Then whoever spawns in that battle gets that decided combo. Now that combo is decided at random. So essentially, everyone in the battle gets the same combo, though it may or may not be different from what you have equipped. Or, 2-3 combos can be decided by the system, and every tank alternates between those combos in a fixed pattern after every death. For example, Firebird-Mammoth and Magnum-Viking are the chosen combos. In team Red we have A, B, C tanks, and in team Blue we have X, Y, Z tanks. Now, let the order of the combos be Fire-Mammy then Mag-Vik. So when all tanks first spawn, they will all have Fire-Mammy. Let's say A, X and Z get killed. When they spawn next, they will have Mag-Vik as their combo. B, C and Y will still have Fire-Mammy. Then tanks will keep switching between these combos in the decided pattern. Another tweak could be that the battle will be divided in terms of certain time-periods or objective-periods. Whichever tank spawns in a given time/objective period gets a certain combo chosen at random for that time/objective period. Say during 32:59 to 32:00, all tanks will spawn as Gauss-Titans. Then during 31:59 to 31:00 all tanks will spawn as Vulcan-Hoppers. This is the example of "time-period". For "objective-period" consider: During 2 flags captured to 3 flags captured (in total, considering flags capped by both teams), all tanks will spawn as Railgun-Ares. Then from 3 flags to 4 flags, all tanks will spawn as Smoky-Mammoths. Or, during 30 DM score to 35 DM score, all tanks will spawn as Smoky-Mammoths, etc. Now the beauty of this is that whoever survives a time-period or objective-period, gets to retain their combo until they die. Once they die, they'll spawn according to the combo for the current time/objective period. EDIT: There is a serious drawback... in case one doesn't own all turrets and hulls, it'll be nearly impossible to play a battle in this mode. I guess that's why you suggested totally random equipment from whatever one owns, Goges...

*cough* Incendiary-Band Titan Heat-Immunity *cough* C'mon man, that combo defies logic and science! Even in a game like Tanki!

Guys Halloween is over... stop em creepy GIFs...

Yay! I noticed that "Agree" is a positive reaction... Feels good to have more choices while reacting... It's a good thing that the <Confused> reaction was removed, because it was not really used in a polite way in my opinion. As mjmj5558 also mentioned, many users used it as an alternative "Dislike". And the emote was a bit too much... xD @Maf it seems that you influenced the addition of Legacy emotes... ;) And finally, @Sacrifice would be happy, that the typed "emotes" don't get converted into visual emotes... (Valid Completed!) :D :) ;) B)

Excuse me....? Are you also referring to official Helpers? Let me say this irrespective of whether you know it, that Helpers are in no way responsible for this experiment. Only Developers are.

Don't be confused, cuz, well, that's not an option anymore... (yay!) EDIT:

A friend of mine, about 2-3 years younger to me, once told me rather excitedly about a game called "Tanki" online. I was sure he had mispronounced. I asked him again, gently. He repeated "Tanki" online, and I laughed. It sounded so stupid. But I went home that day and created an account. That's it - here I am now...

Poly had been ":dddd"ing and ":DDD"ing because he was about to leave the battle. Look what happened:

Bruh, I get self-damage if the turret auto-shoots through a prop just because some tank is in the line of fire! I haven't tried the Gauss snipe-shot through a wall yet, but I would expect to self-destruct! What you are saying is outrageous (and epic at the same time xD)... surviving a salvo of Gauss shot through a wall, given the self-damage of the epic shot, is god-like...

I had grouped with a General-ranked player and he got disconnected from the battle for some reason... I didn't realize I was battling OP tanks, because I was getting kills as usual... also, the map was large (Aleksandrovosk) and I was using one of my best combos, Gauss-Hopper.

Anyone has this bug: When your turret is inside/through a prop like a wall or a building, and an enemy tank is in the line of fire (has the red outline), and then ur turret shoots if Auto-Shoot is ON? It's suuuper frustrating if you have splash-damage turrets equipped. 40% of my self-destructions on mobile are due to this... Could anyone record a video of the bug? I don't really know how to record gameplay on phone...

Are you okay...?

A very Happy and Safe Diwali to all indeed! I really hope you all refrain from bursting fire-crackers this Diwali, and all the Diwali celebrations to follow, as it causes immense air pollution and noise pollution. The air we breathe is shared by everyone. Do not take actions which will compromise the quality of life of others. Our capital, New Delhi, is already facing air quality issues mainly due to stubble burning by farmers, let's not deteriorate the wonderful life-giving air further... Enjoy the auspicious festival in a responsible and safe way!

Check this out @ADIIS007 Read the lower half...

Everything going as it's supposed to... @asdasemm @Signal @Goges.Enze @cube3e I'd rather not ping a Head... or else my head will be in grave peril...

I can't write in Afrikaans, what are you saying! What is the maximum number of times you flipped in a single battle?

Wonderful summary! Got an insight into the Developers' minds, and was surprised by some decisions... not fixing Incendiary Band and Heat Immunity problem is sad... Battle chat in TO Mobile!!! Can't wait! Imo they haven't destroyed PRO battles - that's an extreme word. They shouldn't touch PRO battles now unless they intend to make them better. Thanks a lot PR for this wonderful recap!

Ah such cool entries! Congratz to the Winners!!! @Pythor , you seem to have some big misconception... Volt has been winning non-coloring contests with consistency... ?

The results have been announced! Click here...

No lol, just that your latest chapter(s) that is visible to all hasn't been updated in the archive. Only Reporters can see your articles before approval. Don't worry... xD

:kekw: I don't think I can even dream about having those many skins... "brain.exe has crashed successfully" So nope. 2?

I think that's the reason we have Legacy skins... (partly for the nostalgia too)

It's not exactly a bug - players getting Mk7s at a low rank. I think that the Developers made some mistake during the M to Mk update, and players with fully upgraded M1s got Mk7s afterwards. It's quite frustrating. However, seeing that the Devs aren't discussing this much, it appears to be intended. There's no point in complaining about it now, tbh. However, it would be really great if the Developers did something about it. It's highly unlikely, as players who benefited would complain and ask for compensations and stuff. It would turn quite messy... :c

Wow @Signal! I thought you were planning to replace @Pythor, putting his career in jeopardy, but I see that you're doing something better... Congratz on becoming an Event Helper candidate!!! Good luck mate!
