ASL + "Fast" = you'll be able to cap with Shaft easily if you follow the rules of "Fast ASL" (only capping flags and ignoring defenders wandering in your base and only killing those who are actively defending the point) Killing JGR with Shaft is also way easier than Striker. Shaft triplet augment turns shaft into mid-range to melee turret. Get lucky I guess and get that aug. Eh after stun rico nerf I only use it with Helios and nothing else. Rico looks dead without Helios or Berserker now. Twins are also dead. Other turrets are completely fine so you can choose the one you have the best augs with for easier start towards becoming a pro with that turret. All of these are good

it was obvious sarcasm. I get the "keeping players fresh" goal. (could easily make old augments way more accessible and this would act as gasp of fresh air for players instead of balanding" but we ignore that) Ok your fingers are tingling you can't sit in peace without changing something about a random turret every friday. Ok why do you completely kill off random turret and make it unusable and have others buffed to extreme. What about just buff to extreme but the nerfed turret is still usable? Your cashcows are augments and skins you killing off a turret random Joe mained will not make him spent money to upgrade another turret let me tell you that LMAO.

Feb 15th. Yeah them adding 1 ultra container promo code means they'll be doing V-LOGs once a month to not break the economy ?

no wonder everyone in this forum is toxic. the head of the forum is a just a giant Oligarch. add back shrug emoji

imagine what i'd say 2 seconds after the rules get lifted and I see something about Flying Monkey!

(Edited by NikmanGT lol. We won't die if we see some naughty words we're not snowflakes and average age of Tanki forum user is probably 80 years) Errors like that do not effect your XP. At least they never did for me. If anything you'd want your XP gone since "free" XP like that (XP but no crystals) is actually what hurts you in the long run. Missions do seem to be bugged. I did my daily destroy 15 tanks mission. Got 14 kills but it showed 15/15. It was only a visual glitch though and when I entered the mission tab again it was back to 14/15. But the Flag in Juggernaut was not a visual glitch. Yeah missions got messed up. It's tanki you should expect that every day. Well I have Helios and I got it for ABSOLUTELY FREE lol. Helios has been nerfed and added to regular containers just like many Exotics. Nothing new. As for the odds being absurd I do agree with this. You should not be relying on 0,00001% chance to get an augment that you might not even like in the first place. Even if It's OP or whatever. Add legendaries for 5 million crystals or 10000 tankoins in the garage.

no double XP and Crystals means nothing in the long run. Just slower progress. You arent losing a single XP/Cry. But hey when double XP was a thing every weekend I would constantly see kids complaining about that because their delusions told them that it's somehow P2W so devs removed it. Don't blame the devs because of delusional playerbase. I completed a capture the flag mission in Juggernaut mode. Let me tell you I did not cap a flag in juggernaut mode. Missions seem to be bugged. And if your conspiracy theory is true then how is my mission being completed for not even trying to complete it is "subtle way of scamming the players"?

It's not a problem for me at this point actually. I play mostly shaft right now too and I get my aim thrown off VERY RARELY. But then again I mained Shaft and Firebird since basically 2013 lol. So keep that in mind. Eventually you'll reach the same level but maybe by the time you get to my level things are going to change and you'll decide to stick with non-floaters. I'd say tracked hull with shaft is better. Yeah your aim might get thrown off but your teammate accidentally touching you will send you to another dimension when you're in sniping mode with Shaft. With tracked hulls all you get is a little shake for 0,5 seconds. But from what you described (playstyle) Paladin or Hunter choose whatever you like. People will quickly say Paladin cuz OH NO OD IS SO OP (it's not OP anymore lol and takes a year to charge without Driver) so keep that in mind. Crusader has a fun OD and free 4k damage (at Mk8) could be very useful but it's Smoky of Overdrives. You'll miss like 50% of your shots not because you missed but because... I dunno your OD just randomly no clipped the enemy. Yeah about Meteor Striker... Don't worry though I can easily tell you how good an augment is just from info alone. Already did it many times. Was actually right all the times! (When first Pulsar augment released (Ricochet) before even anyone got a chance to get it I said that it's trash. People DID NOT LIKE THAT and called me funny names lol. But eventually after the shock factor died people realised I was right. So remember that I may say something about Meteor Striker that people will not agree about just in case). I put augments in 3 tiers. 1. Big bois (Phoenixes, Faust, Hyperspeed, certain Pulsars etc.) 2. Balanced (Shredder etc.) 3. Waste of Exotic (Turbo Twins lol) Meteor would fall under "Balanced". The splash damage removal is not a big deal at all since you rarely get splash anyway and its like 200 damage. You're not losing on much. Extra 25% damage and super fast rockets are great additions but nothing game breaking. The impact force is barely noticable even though it's the main selling point of the augment. Nothing to talk about. Good augment but not something you should get out of your way to get. Honestly Uranium is actually one of the best Striker Augments. It's better than Faust and Hydra (People will not like what I just said) but it has big skill wall. But when you learn how to play with Uranium... Oh boy. Yeah im not joking look.

Both are at the same level of power with maximum skills... Doesn't really make a difference imo. Shaft has more enemies with prots though. If you're just attacking from time to time then Hunter is better. Fast OD that is able to be used for defence and attack is better.

Smoky is not only simple and boring but also has stupid aim that makes your shots miss for absolutly no reason. Stun augments are also the most useless status augments by far imo. Well I have MAX garage and every augment for every melee except EMP isida (which is useless since I have Pulsar). The reasons why I use X melees: Firebird - I have demonic skin for it and the best augment for it (Pulsar). I mostly use it just because DC skins look awesome lol. If I didn't have a DC Skin i'd probably never use it. Freeze - I have HD XT Skin for Freeze and Viking so combined it makes your tank absolutely sexy. If I didn't have the skin I'd use it rarely. Most of the time it would be DM matches. Once again Pulsar or adrenaline is the way to go. Isida - My most used Melee turret of all time and 6th most used on this account. I have Vampire which is infinitely better than Pulsar or anything else since If you play carefully you barely die. The most annoying thing with Melee is how often you drive for hours just to get killed in 2 seconds. With Isida it won't happen and nobody uses prot against it so that's also a plus. Tesla - Surprisingly my 4th most used turret on this account. It's just as good as freeze or firebird. If you play your cards right and enemy is dumb you can easily kill without taking damage. I'd say Pulsar is the best but I use AP because I like the bouncy ball that it has so it's easier to "chain" shots. Most of the time I use melees just because I have cool skins for it or im too bored to use a long/mid range turret. With melees you just have to be aggressive or you'll die of boredom. If you're middle of the map player with occasional aggression it could work but you'd be missing out on a lot. Wouldn't really recommend using melees in today's meta and especially for a new player. If I had to rate them it would be like this Yup. Upgrade your favourite combo. You'll gain skills since you'll likely won't have the best augment and actually will have to think which will eventually give you MONSTER advantage over everything. People sleep on Engineer it is actually one of the best hull augments. You should not buy any augments even crystals ones, just wait till you get them from conts.

I'd go Crisis or Hyperion (I mean let's not pretend...) but if they're too expensive I'd probably go for Defender or Booster. Not really the biggest fan of trickster unless the only thing im doing is attacking. Booster might help by giving you that little bit of extra healing with Paladin OD but defender could make you way more defensive so you can take hits. Trickster is kinda situational also the extra speed won't do much most of the time since you're only going to attack when OD is active. (Hyperion is by far the best garage drone and it's not even close. Though it'll make you happy when you get supplies in a cont after using it for a while.)

(11 years of experience. Around 35 MILLION XP earned in these years.) 1. Don't chase the current meta. If you actually going to put effort into improving with your favourite combo eventually no nerfs/buffs, augments whatever will have an effect on you. Sure you'll perform a little worse if your turret gets nerfed but it'll go from a 10 to 8 instead of from a 10 to 1 or something. You'll be an actual pro and will laugh at the babies crying about the game being P2W because they put no effort into improving. Sure getting to the "Tier Zero" of tanki will take you a year? Maybe longer? The fact that you're an OG will definitely help. It will not be fun at first but eventually you'll start destroying buyers with way weaker combos (where the grind begins to pay off also just fun to kill them with easily while they're way stronger on paper lol) eventually you'll get constant TOP 1 in "Everyone is equal" modes soon normal MM will turn into constant TOP 3 no matter what combo you use (Even improving with 1 combo will help you with others). Then eventually you'll reach what I call Tier Zero. You'll be able to get TOP 1 no matter what combo/map/mode with your eyes closed if you wanted and the only challenge you'll get is from eSports players or absurdly stacked buyers or obviously another Cream of the Crop players. (I came back after 3 years of not playing. Started from scratch and it took me 2 years to reach this level) 2. The golden rule of UPGRADE ONE COMBO UNTIL ITS MAXED!!!! You have more than enough Mk6s. You love firebird and Viking? Good. Save your crystals till you reach Marshal rank and unlock Mk7s. By then you should have enough crystals to maybe buy something Mk7 and make it Mk7-20 which instantly gives a huge advantage. (Just because you got a good augment on a turret that is mk2 or something STICK TO THE Mk7 UPGRADING DON'T WASTE CRYSTALS ON THAT Mk2. 3. Liking Firebird is cool but it is melee and currently camping is way more enjoyable since you don't get killed every 2 seconds. If I were you I'd upgrade Firebird + Viking + long range turret of your choice that is not railgun (You'll encounter x7 railgun 50% prots on average every battle. Not. Kidding.) If you listen to step 2 then you'll have Melee and Long range turret with a hull at Mk7 very fast. Prioritize upgrading Viking to Mk7-20 first if you don't have enough crystals for two mk7-20s by the time you reach marshal. 4. Not really upgrade related but FOLLOW the news and updates that this game puts out almost every thursday and don't be lazy and grind up all prizes you can get. If you can buy challenge passes (the 300 star ones). I bought 9/10 challenge passes and after 3 years I got EVERYTHING besides a couple augments and 10 skins and I spent maybe 5 bucks a month. I actually saved thousands.

Genshin is a "Gacha Game". in caveman terms gacha game = loterry but you don't win money instead you get PNGs and PIXELS people pay big for new shiny PNG and pixels/people pay small for new augments in tanki new PNG is stronger than old PNG/ new augment is strong but the last strong one gets nerfed Gacha games were a thing way before containers and other tanki greediness

I'm surprised it's not "Insults/Profanity" or Provocation. I heard many players using some mystery hull and getting these ban messages. Must've been the glitch in the system.

I know... mid-night + math doesnt go well... Idea for Wpex-Wah. Login Bonuses. Similar to advent calendar but every day. Like 500 crystals or a common container with milestones like 100, 500, 1000 days giving you something big like exclusive augment or 50 containers or something. Gacha games I play have this so tanki should have this too ? ? I gave you the idea of long event map times instead of just the weekends and players liked it. I'm sure they'll like this one too (they would still complain about how its only 500 crystals and not 50k crystals though) Daily bonuses gives players something to log in everyday for and then they might see new event in the corner and get interested to play more thus increasing player retention without breaking the economy. Also after getting something free they might as well decide to go to the shop and buy daily supplies. Then see the ultra container offers and be more interested to buy

if you're attacking in 2024 tanki online you're a fool so you deserve to be killed by miners.

the only hull augment that needs nerf is blaster and i don't need to even tell you why.

Uranium Striker + Hunter + Crisis (actually better than Faust and Hydra but y'all not ready for this conversation) Shaft + Hornet (I've never seen that in battles)

camping still is the meta as long as 99% of OP exotics are either literally unplayable unless you camp (hyperspeeds) or are on turrets that are intended to be camped with or are just better when used in camping situations even if the turret/augment doesn't encourage you to camp. Defender won't help you camp. Many rich legends I know already said they're switching to Hyperion. Trust me the repair kit cooldown is way more valuable than 90% armour.

Because you got incredibly unlucky. Comparing your RNG to other people no matter how good/bad it is is just dumb

Exotics can be 0,0000001% as long as im getting them like every 40 conts on average im good. (I keep getting shafted on Gacha games for the 2nd year in a row i guess my luck goes into tank game) Akame they nerfed Crisis now we can't reach 4k damage without damage increase aug (((((((((((((((((

the Dupe System also is almost always paired with GUARANTEED new item drop after amount of currency that would be pretty easy to save up by F2Ps ? Oh that's right lol. Guess i'm just constantly extremely lucky then. Oh well just get better at getting exotics noobs. Adios. Jammer?? ? ? Hyperion stocks rose through the roof after Crisis nerf. Every Crisis user in existence will just switch to Hyperion now and Jammer literally does nothing to Hyperion. My last FREE 15 ultra conts gave me 2 exotics...

crisis is dead now ? I'll take 3 supplies any day over whatever this monstrosity is. Gonna use Hyperion 24/7 from now on. Pretty sure they can't remove it without facing legal trouble or handing out MONSTER compensation for EACH pulsar removed.

300 for guaranteed exotic? WOW LET'S RELAX HERE ONLY 300!? HOOOOLY SMOKES!!! (if exotic chance is actually 0.5% by opening 300 conts you're going to get 15 exotics on average. The "guaranteed" exotic doesn't help at all here) oh crisis is dead. Hyperion stocks rising. ? ??????????? L change. Should be reduced to 2m

So just new year celebration but worse. Aight lol. (WHY IS IT 4 WEEKS?) Striker augment is the most unoriginal augment i've seen. "Hitting the target deals more damage and splash is reduced" The only time where splash even does something is with uranium striker. that 1m splash radius ain't doing anything lol. You want to hit enemy with your rocket anyway. Truly augment of augments in tanki. Smoky and XP/BP modes are always nice i guess. 3/10 event rating.
