and for its strategic Overdrive, something that Hopper lacks. Flying hack does not need any strategy, it just plows in with its OP 3-1 overdrive, jumps onto flag and flies all the way to base to cap, and in most cases the legal hack does not even use it's turret.

Shot effects a TOP PRIORITY. Give your head a serious shake......top priority ??

I do, he's taken full advantage of the fact that the players he was up against were very weak, hence he switched combo and buried them. @asem.harbi These rank spreads in battles are very common, and the reason they are is because there is just not enough players of the same rank (for all ranks) to battle each other, so MM does what it thinks is best and mixes the ranks up to fill the battle list. Ergo----you have very weak players going up against MK6s/MK7s and getting wiped out. The entire MM system needs reworking, if not, then the low rankers with low G/S are gonna be in for a hard time, for a very long time. And the irony here is, that actually RANKING wont save them from more of the same---GETTING WIPED OUT. MM, along with the cash driven updates, are the 2 main things that have contributed to the battles we see on a constant daily basis. Rank spreads between 5/15 are common, and the players who take advantage of this have at times had a better result overall than the rest of the team combined. These are the sad FACTS of TO atm.

And the complaints just keep rolling in. Will the devs finally take notice?

Okkkkk. Unlike the flying hack with say defender are crisis attached to it, titan would not have near invincibility in battle. Titan has been underpowered in regards to HP for a long time now, what with all these new fangled OP alts/augments doing the rounds in battles. Having only 1 hull being able to counter it will force players to combine their efforts to take it out, if they do not then they will die repeatedly, it's their choice to work together are not. Whatever happens i'm sure the devs will make the right call.

Purchase, that's the overriding factor with the majority of changes the devs make. Players are getting fed up of the constant changes that have a price tag attached to them.

He has a point @Person_Random 1ST lieutenant with over 7k g/s.......I would say 90% of your battles you were way stronger than the enemy. Conclusion......Their fault for staying in battle when you arrived on the scene. I enjoyed the 16v16. I got a load of kills and usually came top, regardless which side won. Thats TO MM for you, never quite getting it right.

This is 1 map. Titans overdrive should only be countered by 1 specific hull/overdrive. (Which would be fair) Does not matter which hull it is, it should be the only one. Now that would need good tactics by at least a couple of players to get the better of the titan. Titan is a heavy slow hull, it's only defence is it's HP, which in today's TO counts for nothing. EMP gauss/ AP alts spring to mind, along with the inevitable couple of flying hacks. What is the point of having a shield that can be undone by any amount of counters, stops becoming a shield really and more a big target sign. When i see a few titans (in siege) protecting each other with their shields, and maybe backed up by a isida, i call that smart playing. Does not matter if i am on the other team (yes it's annoying) for the enemy, and unless we pull together, those titans will indeed dominate that siege battle. All in all poor titan is just a lumbering piece of metal, and unless that particular player is camping and in a good team, not much use at all compared to most hulls and all the OP combos that can take it out quite easily. We all no what needs to be done to improve TO. The devs have got to start acting on player feedback, are this forum and all the various topics, and hundreds of posts will be a complete waste of time.

These are my thoughts on bringing back some much need balance to TANKI ONLINE, regarding gameplay, and fairplay. I do not not think i have overstated it, are that i am asking the devs to do the impossible. TO has for too long been hugely unbalanced for most players of all ranks. It's time the devs made a substantial effort to help out those that cannot afford to enjoy the game on the same level as P2W players. I sincerely hope that this post is read by those who have the ability to implement most, if not all of my thoughts regarding TO. 1--X3 more XP needed to rank at every level. This would help out low rankers enormously, especially F2P. Needs implementing ASAP. 2--Cry should always be higher than xp gained in battle, again helps out low/F2P ranks. 3--No more XP boost ever again.......WE DON'T NEED IT. Any legends who complain about this, be quiet and stop being selfish. 4--FLYING HACK should lose the ability to go on top of walls/ buildings and should only have 1 OVERDRIVE, not 3. 5--MM.ie, the rank spreads, this should be a PRIORITY, it needs fixing ASAP. 6--Hunters overdrive. No more delay, no other overdrive has a delay attached to it. 7--EMP gauss. Lock on should be increased by 50%. This turret with this alt is VERY POWERFUL. 8--AP effect. Hornets overdrive has now been given to every hull, so in essence it never really got nerfed. Devs just reworked it, and made more cash in the process. 9--HTML5 garage is not user friendly. Changing equipment during battle is a nightmare. Needs fixing, as this is a problem that can affect battles. 10--Faster hulls should not have more power than slower hulls. This is a ridiculous conception, even for a game, just like flying hulls......RIDICULOUS. It's TANKS, not flying machines. 11--Ultras should not give out paints, shot effects, of any kind. They are meant to be ULTRA, meaning better, and any supplies you get should be doubled, again the word ULTRA is supposed to have meaning. 12--COINBOXES. Minimum should be 10 tankoins. They also need to be reverted back to what they used to be like, worth getting (buying), ATM they are without doubt the biggest letdown of all the containers, (ULTRAS very close 2nd.) The rewards from these containers is a disgrace for the high asking price needed to get any. 13--Make all alts/augments available for CRYSTALS in the garage, not tankoins. The upside to this is that players will PLAY MORE to gain the amount of cry needed to acquire them. 14--The rank needed to attain MK7s should be as it was, MARSHAL. I would gladly be the first to relinquish any and all MK7s i have at the rank below MARSHAL, on all the accounts i play. Of course i would want compensated for this, not necessarily by getting a refund on any cash i have spent, rather say in CRYSTALS, are any XT, LEGACY, etc of my choice for every MK7 that is put back to FULL MK6, turrets, hulls, modules. The only exception to this is DRONES, which should stay as they are, as they are truly EXPENSIVE to upgrade with cry, and do not have a MK level as such were you can get a higher modification like say a turret at different ranks. I no you can acquire different drones at different ranks but this is not quite the same as acquiring turrets, hulls, etc. As far as the shop goes for acquiring MK7s, this should be no more than 1 rank below MARSHAL. My reasoning for this has taken into account that the XP needed to rank is indeed X3, and the rank spreads have been sorted so that you no longer face vastly superior combos at any given rank. Rank spread should be no more than 3 ranks above you, 2 would be better, but no more than 3. These requests are not unreasonable, and would make a big difference in not only gameplay, but how the game is viewed by the players that TO has left for dead in no-mans land for way to long. F:N---I have a maxed out legend account, i want for nothing, i have EVERYTHING i need to battle on any map. I wrote this post because i actually do care about the players who cannot compete against a system that is constantly changing, and constantly forgetting about those players, who are losing faith in the devs with every update they bring in that is out of their reach financially.

I think it's a great idea. And why not, we had hornet with godmode on for an eternity where it could 1 shot ANYTHING with activated overdrive, we have the flying LEGAL hack with 3 overdrives rolled into 1 that dominates ctf battles. So yeah, why not. If the devs are gonna continue with their CRAZY OP updates, may as well go all the way and give players the ability to really dominate, and take out whole defenses all on their own (hold on, certain combos already do that.) Of course it will probs cost you a small fortune but the hardcore buyers will lap it up, nothing is ever to OP for them, the more OP the better. While were at it, lets double the amount of XP we already get, and decrease the cry amount to say half of what we get now, that should help out the low rankers just nicely. And may as well make ultras 5X less frequent to give out decent rewards, can't have to many mines and speedboosts, there a must have. And i also think that coinboxes should at least give you on average 15 one tankoins for every 30 you open. Hold on a mo, they already do, my mistake, let's make it 20, nice round number after all. What else could the devs do to improve the game, oh i no, it can put you into battles with players either 10 ranks above you are 10 ranks below you, that seems reasonable. I wonder if there is anything else the devs could do to improve TO, i'm sure they will think of some, can't wait.

This is why i do not play any other account. Everything the devs do is geared towards cash. you rank way to quick, you need cash to sort the inevitable train wreck out when you go against players way beyond you in terms of their combos/garage. This is why a lot of legends have a naff G/S and get wrecked in battle. They rank to quickly due to the above stats going against them in every battle they go into. This needs sorting ASAP. This is one of many ways the devs try and get you to spend on the game, from a indirect consequence of their making. By indirect i mean not spending in the shop etc. Remember, the devs never ever do anything unless it benefits them. This is one of many examples why the devs get so much negative feedback compared to positive ones. It's a shame, TO is still a great game to play, are used to be, pity it's run solely for the purpose of making cash with no thought to the majority of the players, who suffer obliteration in most of the battles they go into because of the many, many negative aspects of the game.

Complaining about anything that is obviously not right in TO is a total waste of time. Devs never ever act on PLAYER FEEDBACK, not unless it's in line with their OP cash driven ideas. Look at how many OP updates the devs have drafted into TO in the last 2 years alone. You go into battle, you have maxed out everything, you play the game in the right way, trying your best to help the team to a win, your skill levels are more than good enough to cope with all but the VERY BEST players out there, and then a smokey/titan who you can run circles around with ease hits you with ONE shot, game over, he has the AP and has just rendered all your defenses useless and takes you out with the next shot. The saying "flatter to deceive" sums up the devs to perfection. They spout out the right words and dress it up as much as they can with all the trimmings, trying to make out that what they do concerning game play is for the best, that it needs doing to keep on improving the game, and yet, every single new update compromises game balance and ALWAYS comes with a hefty price tag.

Best suggestion i've seen all year. The AP effect will be private, means that the enemies are only armourless for the user, not for his/her teammates.

TO related. Have at least one of my ideas implemented into TO. Achieve 50 kills no losses, (current TO) sooooo close with 49/1. Get into a esports clan that want to achieve big things. Not TO related. Live to a hundred. See a full solar eclipse.

I've played about 8 battles all day, missions done, parked up. I don't need anything, so unless they sort this complete joke out, who cares, because the devs certainly don't. From the shop, right the way thru to the useless garage that never gives you what you want without it's own personal battle, it's either overpriced, OP, are just doesn't work as intended. Their ineptitude is only matched by their greed. Great combo don't you think.

New players ?. They discover tanki, make an account, join a battle, get slaughtered. As soon as they have ranked 3/4 times they get obliterated even more. New players, though i doubt there are many, don't stand a chance in today's TO. The XP to CRY ratio is a joke, meaning they will rank mega quick, and end up as mega easy kills without realising that their combo is as weak as when it was at recruit level. The account this screen came from is strong for it's rank. And it's gonna stay that way. Until they get rid of more XP to CRY in battles and make it so it takes much longer to rank, (x3 minimum) then all but my main, (which is not affected) by there ridiculous boosted XP nonsense is all i'm using, even then i only do missions then quit for most of the day. I REFUSE to get sucked into TOs circus that they deliberately make OP to encourage buyers to spend. Very hard doesn't even come close to what any new player (easy kill) has to face, not when confronted by such a one sided game that favours buyers with their newly acquired OP combos. New/low ranked players..............I REST MY AIRTIGHT CASE. I did not ask to be put in against such low ranks, MM doing what it does best..........GETTING IT WRONG. Along with the multitude of other things that is broken in TO, how do you expect any amount of advertising is going to fix this. Get the basics right, MM, XP/CRY, rank spreads, etc, then do your advertising. Get the basics right and TO will look after itself with no problems.

Erm no. Again your choice of words isn't really very good. A MK1 will never be better than a MK8, don't care what combo you use. Nice try, back to the drawing board i'm afraid.

Had my fill of these FLYING HACKS. I challenge anyone using this legal hack to a 1v1. ANYONE. That includes you acne, bring it on smart mouth. Lets see how good you are when you can't use your OP overdrive. The challenge is there for all you legal cheats. My main is G-92. Come on acne take the challenge up.

Well, you gotta explain yourself way better if you want players to understand what you are going on about, so back at ya.

Not sure, probs has happened a lot but i really don't take much notice. I mean when your actually in battle, being able to tell if you have killed a mobile player are a keyboard player, before the end of the battle. And no i'm not clued up on mobiles, not in TO, no reason to be.

So, are you saying that a vulcan MK1 could beat a vulcan MK8, are or you saying that a VMK1 can do better against its own ranks than a VMK8, are or you saying that because it takes less time to heat up, that a VMK1 is better than a VMK8 because of this. Any way you want to spin this, a VMK8 could wipe out a entire team of VMK1s with ease. And congo is right, heating up to one side, a VMK8 has a much higher DPS than a VMK1. Just because it takes less time does not make it better than a MK8, if that was the case i'd go make 20 noob accounts right now, and have a great time blasting all these legends that MM would hand on a plate to me.

Don't dispute that for 1 moment. But i still reckon a good keyboard player will beat a good mobile player, all things being equal and flying cheat aside. Would be good if you could distinguish in battle who is using what.

Flying cheat to one side, i would like to see any mobile player beat any decent player using a keyboard.

Ahhh the voice of reason. It's a shame the big hardcore buyers keep this meta going. The devs play on this, and the hardcore fizzy pop drinkers just keep lapping it up.

LOL flying monkeys........nice 1
