For the first question, I don't discuss any strategies at all. Second question, if there's alot of legends in one battle, I leave. And even if I stay, I mostly stay out of their way. And even if I didn't do as well as some of them, why would that make them unhappy? Third question, advice, I haven't been given any for a really long time. And even if it is offered to me and I don't agree with it, why would I be defensive about it? If it was for someone else, I can just offer up something that I think would be better for the player that's asking for advice. I'll just copy and paste my answer.

Compared Legends, commanders and Field marshals are alot less common. They might not be less egotistical, but the real fact is that it happens alot less often. So that means I should much higher expectations for them, right? Then explain to me why my expectations for them are lower than that of beginner ranks?

And that's how it should be. Its just a stupid rank. Nothing special about it other than to be able to milk its system. And yet most of its residents have this mentality of "if you're not legend ranked, then you opinion don't matter" or "if you're not legend ranked, then I have the right to be unfriendly and disrespectful towards you". I have seen this by so many legend ranked players so many times, that it is sickening that this is how most of them decide to act.

Well its 5 turrets, because it has to accommodate for Tesla which I hear will be released soon.

Brutus. When did the great meme war start?

But they taste like ink and graphite. I have the power to make tanki great again.

Its strong sure, but not OP.

Entered a mid rank parkour battle on my main, and damn everyone was so friendly and respectful towards one another, it felt like I was seeing a myth. I don't remember the last time where this happened. So I decided to drop them all the goldboxes I had on me, would've dropped more, but I only had 10. In legend ranked parkour battles, if I even greet them, I would've been sneered at or even targeted.

I think they should either enlarge the islands so that they're within jumping distance of each other and then add bridges that connect them. Or just remove the map from the game.

I don't see this as a problem. And neither does the majority of the player base. ?

But the feeling wasn't directed toward matchmaking. Sure I have my issues with MM, but that's a different kind of discussion.

Better idea: remove it from the game.

No, but the point I was trying to make here was that gauss should've just been scrapped when it was still just an idea. It was a pure hybrid of all the mentioned turrets. It had different parts of each turret that made them unique over each other. Both of them are alot more simple go use than striker. Striker has more interesting augments than thunder, but that's the devs fault for not giving thunder some more augments. And smoky is just flat out boring to use despite being able to do well. And where are you gonna practice? Can't practice in MM, you'd rank up faster and consume more supplies, and face massive imbalances where you mostly can't practice properly. Can't practice in parkour battles, everyone will target you forever. Don't have a training area. Only place is pro battles, but you can't always rely on them. You'd have to know how to use it, to do well, even now. Point is even with all the buffs it received, it still requires alot of skill to use effectively.

Yeah during that time, it was starting to become a viable turret to use, even the release of magnum didn't stop its momentum. And then all that changed when that hideous abomination (gauss) was released, pretty much without reason or warning in June of 2019. It was as if the devs gave up on striker, thunder, smoky, magnum, rail gun, and shaft, and simply decided to bring out such an uninteresting turret that was simply designed to be a hybrid. Well, since striker is basically the only turret I use on this account, its pretty hard not to have played with it recently. Sure, striker is strong now, but that doesn't mean that smoky or thunder aren't viable options either. Thunder is still pretty good, and so is smoky. I do agree that they may have overdone it with the critical damage, but I think the real turning point for striker was the release of hovering hulls, more specifically crusader. Striker didn't just suffer from that. It also had to take in factors like keeping your distance, leading your shots, remembering which barrel it shot from last, barrel being short. Etc.

If its something on your tank, then that's good enough.

Not just on the game but also on the forum. Back then, whenever there's a disagreement, it was settled with a civil discussion, it could sometimes be tense but there was no menace in them. Nowadays when there's a disagreement, people would just throw out insults and provocations. Its sad, but true. By the way @Unleash, I saw you in a parkour battle (red alert TDM, I think) last night, seemed like someone rubbed you the wrong way. Want to talk about it?

What the tanki online community used to be like VS What it is like nowadays.

Just the kit. But I do agree that augments have a major influence in choosing a kit.

Now you see what I mean. That'd be nice but I'd wager for an indicator for whenever its locking on to you.

Well, as long as the dot isn't dinky. Any indicator that is on your tank would be fine.

Gauss would've been a very interesting augment for thunder. Too bad they decided to make it a turret rather than an augment.
