Jaguar should be buffed to 100k HP all forms of healing removed. This fixes the Jaguar abuse problem. Or just don't play that braindead mode in the first place so the waiting time is like 5 minutes for these noobs

Anything that requires specific steps to trigger. I count the Scorpion Rockets + Near instant normal shot as a strat but when I talk about strats in public like that I usually mean strats that not a lot of people know. Certain steps with a hull + Certain Step with Shaft = Boogeyman strat. I'm sure it wasn't DIRECTLY mentioned in the V-LOG because it would be very weird unless they're doing Shaft tutorial or something. I probably meant that they talked about certain steps that need to be used to achieve it. I don't remember what they said in a Vlog 2 years ago anymore lol I said it's more annoying than OP. It doesn't turn shaft into Golden Age 3 second reload 3k damage after sniping Shaft. It's very annoying though if you REALLY wanted you could say it TECHNICALLY increases damage but it's like me saying that if you shoot Tesla Ball point blank and instantly use the Zap the Zap's damage get's doubled. Yeah it technically is but is it? THE STRAT IS ANNOYING! IT DOESN'T TURN SHAFT INTO SOMETHING OP! IF IT WASN'T SO ANNOYING I'D TELL IT BUT NOW IM NOT TAKING ANY RISKS SINCE I ALREADY HAVE 500 THINGS ANNOYING YOU EACH SECOND OF THE MATCH. DONE. (also i'm bad at explaining stuff even if it's not tanki so keep that in mind lol)

Not really I just got bored because I feel like we are running in circles. You're one of "these" players (the ones who actually know the game well and mechanics etc.) You might've cracked it already or maybe you didn't. Like I said it makes Shaft ultra annoying (im repeating stuff again woops) blah blah blah......... I'm honestly surprised how you dont know about it yet. Though you probably have random strats for other stuff that ur not telling us

oh good ol' strafe... brotha if it was the case you can be sure i'll be the one to say it needs to be removed. Since I am known as Flying Monkey Fan on this forum I guess I did actually lol my bad. I mean without shaft prot this is indeed OP i guess. But yeah its INSANELY ANNOYING not OP is what i rly meant.

I guess it does have something to do with energy technically. No what i meant is if only 4 people in 12 years could figure out that if you shoot when your shaft is not fully loaded you save energy then I don't even want to know how stupid average player in this game is. I'm not telling anything from now on because it feels like we went from a little shaft trick to illegal ultra super strat that kills the game if used. Like I said 500 times before. It's very annoying trick that makes shaft a little bit more "overpowered". It's not hard to do but for some reason nobody is smart enough for this as seen when Tesla released. To make this strat not work you'd have to do a complete rework on either all of the hull mechanics or shaft turret itself. Maybe they'll release an augment that accidentally prevents it from being used.

We're back to 0 huh? Like I said from what I remember besides me I saw 3 people use it since 2012. If only 4 people in the entire game found out about energy retention with Shaft then I'm concerned with who im i playing with. It is intended game mechanic. You do a couple of things in a certain way to get a result that is not achievable if you just went Goo Goo Gaga I press Space I go snipe tank. It's not anything game breaking and on paper sounds like it barely does anything but like I said that trick makes shaft users ANNOYING AS HELL. We already have enough annoying campers and we don't need extra things that allow them to be even more annoying.

and im not going to my battles already overfilled with annoying stuff and the strat makes campers even more annoying. A simple trick that for some reason only like 3 shaft players in the entire game know but then it took people like 3 days to figure out you can shoot Tesla ball and hide behind a wall to kill enemies without being exposed so i guess i expect too much. It's not rly pushing the limits. More like playing around with intentional game mechanics. Imagine it as the time when spinning with scorpion basically turned its rockets into melee. Shaft trophy is at 350k+ Isida is at 150k and Striker at 70k So I use shaft pretty often lol but now that I have healing emmiters I rarely even touch enemies I just go full healer mode and there is no reason for me to use sniping shots with crisis. The trick is a 9/10 annoyance and 5/10 OPness if I had to guess. If I used and took a closer look at each hull + turret combo i'd probably find way more specific tricks like that but im too lazy. EDIT: I don't make the trick public cuz I once fought an enemy that used it and to say he was annoying. Oh yeah... NO.

lol yes. You rly obsessed with this huh? It's annoying and somewhat OP but at this point I think you think that the strat is a bug that allows you to get infinite tankoins

Ok so buyers are braindead 0 skill NPCs that die a lot so they don't have good K/D. Oh so buyers don't die now. Mhm... Interesting. Fresh buyers don't have skill and it is very noticable for me. Though like I said at this point you'd have to do a lot to make sure it's not just a lucky f2p. So the trash buyers might as well be just lucky F2P players who didn't play enough games to get very good. As for me being a "small buyer" I don't spend anywhere close to 50$+ a month lol I rarely buy tankoin pass and that's it. I mean "small buyer" in tanki players eyes and not anyone who plays another game eyes. My fault ig.

Games I play people that spend 50$+ a month are not even considered a buyer. 5$ a month is nothing in this game. I mean them 400 tankoins ain't getting you far let me tell you that lol. Well I know real life friends WHO ARE LITERALLY F2P and they play MM and MM only. Guess they're secret buyers!!! The game is designed to make you play matchmaking. It has nothing to do with F2P or P2P. Picking Legend 500 with Premium and saying everyone has garage like him/her doesn't count buddy. You know what? I just came up with this. I'll go into Tanki chat and pick 3 random Legend ranks I saw in chat and check their profiles. 3 Random players picked from chat and you could argue 3rd one is potentially a buyer. Rest are clearly F2P and new players (looking at their K/D) Their garages are pretty "deserted" so I guess 66% of Tanki players are F2P. Except you can almost always see people telling to save for Tanki fund and old players telling new ones to save their coins for Tanki Fund. Or they're just casual players who don't spend and don't interact with the community that much. LITERALLY EVERY community ever has these people. Also... Real life is Pay To Win. I got Lifeguard and Miner augment from mission and free challenge tier containers. Even though I am a small buyer these conts were 100% Free. Now what's stopping Joe The Free To Play from getting the same luck? Or even way worse one like a legendary augment? (so unlucky I know)

...He saw a lucky F2P with legendary/exotic augment. The amount of times F2Ps get called "ultra buyers" just because they got helios or something is insane.

I love how F2P players in this game keep saying that devs are greedy yet they're one of the greediest F2P players i've seen and I played many games with gigantic playerbases. What Maf said here is correct. Similar thing happened in a game I knew that was extremely F2P friendly and guess what? It's servers were shut down after 2 years. In every game I play F2Ps know that "Whales" and Buyers will be stronger than them no matter what and they're completely fine with it. Yeah some complain but its like 1%. Nobody complains about free rewards and instead discusses if they should buy this or that with guess who... BUYERS. Every game I play F2P and P2P co-exists peacefully with Buyers helping F2Ps make decisions meanwhile here F2Ps see buyers are the Boogeyman that killed their family which makes P2Ps hostile towards F2Ps and it's a never ending circle of chaos lol. Forgot the "dead game".

And even if you get the perfect roll and have a full enemy team in your sight you still get 3-4 kills at most with Mk8 turret. Same with melee I used firebird and freeze and would still get the same 3-4 kills after finding enemy group. HORRIBLE

Bruh got HD XT Viking from Elite Pass went into my first match (haven't used Viking in a MINUTE) and the second I got my OD railgun oneshotted me and I'm at 0% OD charge. Got my second OD just to get like 2 kills after 5 hours of waiting

"Raging Viking" has to be the funniest thing in this forum LMAO (Viking OD is one of the worst ODs in the game unless you're using Driver augment. I'll die on this hill)

My average kill count with Hunter's OD would be like 2 kills. 1-3 99% of the time. I can predict MM player's 5 next moves as I used URANIUM << striker as a CAMPING augment and got double digit K/D and 1st place lol. If you can predict your enemies moves then firebird killing you before OD kicks in is not a problem. Also you want to be as far away from firebird and come closer just as your lightning damage activates. Sounds hard but is very simple. Hunter's OD is actually one of the best ODs just because it can be used anywhere people sleep on hunter OD. 4 prots for a f2p is nothing hard to get these days because they spam protection slots every 5 seconds. Super drones aren't gonna help you either sine others have the same thing so it just cancels out just more chaos.

Just played Arms Race like normal. EDIT: The game is literally unplayable. Getting disconnected 1-2 minutes after entering a match

To get that 20k damage you basically have to be touching JGR. There is no reason to nerf it. It adds strategy and they literally explained that the whole purpose of this is to DESTROY enemy JGR if you know what you're doing. If anything it should be buffed to 30k max.

im showing excitement sir excitement = caps im sorry mr. Man of Nik that is GT skin or something ? ? ?? (lol im having BPD euphoria can't stop me)

I mean he's right... the conversion rate is better... now instead of 1 spin you get THREE!!!!!!! for the same amount of crystals! Bro x3 TIMES BETTER CONVERSION OH MY GOD THEY MIGHT AS WELL GIVE AWAY ICE GAUSS FOR FREE!!! so cheap

You saw them turn daily missions into daily chores for 3 containers that give you 3000 crystals 99% of the time for x10 more effort. You saw them turn event missions from 15 ultra conts to 3 lol. You saw (maybe) them add 5 million score phoenix augments bordering on MID and good for turrets and flat out unusable for hulls unless you spam nukes. You saw them nerf challenge into who knows what from something you'd actually save your tankoins for And you thought they'd sell x3 spins that would give you 2k crystals and maybe 2 containers (depends on the checkpoint) and thought it would cost you ONLY 100k? Come on Mr. Soothing...

HAHAHAHAHAHHA they literally copy pasted the event info without even bothering to double check it ? But no worries the buyers will spend thousands just to get a skin that doesn't fit the game but looks good I guess. (Oh nvm I'm yet to see a single ICE skin in battle and its been a year) EDIT: lol why this got every reaction

I use it in ASL attacking team and it always gives just enough HP to cap a flag which is very useful. Outside of ASL the extra 1000 HP can be useful but if you're fighting not a long range turret the augment just makes no difference. I like it more than Driver though as of now.

(Player with 10 years of experience here) If I were you and only wanted to upgrade one of these three turrets i'd go with Freeze. Freezing effect disabled double damage so it's instantly better than 75 ticks (likely 0 cuz repair) of burning damage you'll do at legend. Though I'd recommend something long range that is not railgun. Literally anything lol because railgun even though rare at legend ranks but you'll encounter 6+ on average (im not kidding) railgun prots in EVERY MATCH. For hulls you want to use Viking/Hunter something like that. Yeah you'll be slower and it'll probably be a disadvantage at low ranks but as you reach legend it'll pay of. With Hornet half of the people will be oneshotting you. Upgrade 1 turret and hull of your choice. Don't upgrade anything else until your combo is Mk7 AT LEAST. Yes it might get painful playing the same combo but you'll have a chance of winning against legends (which is already a big feat for low ranks). Remember that using 1 combo will make you skilled with it and even if it gets nerfed you'll still be good at it but people won't use protections against your turret so nerf could be a blessing in disguise. Next sale will likely be valentines day so don't worry about it yet. I'll show you some screenshots from matches so you can get better understanding of End-Game battle combos people use. Couple week old DM match. A match I just went into. And another match I just went into. (see x6 rail prots lol) ASL and most of the time SGE modes will have the most stacked Mega Buyers and Mega Sweats that are like Legend 400+ In other modes I'd recommend camping + Supporting when you reach the "nightmare" phase of fighting Legends at Marshal rank or something. Unless you got lucky and got exotic augment there is no chance for you to win. They'll outsmart you while having better combos on top of that.

Saw the Mythical Isida + Mammoth combo in Brest map and almost fell off my chair. Truly a UNIT in the enemy team healing everyone like a madman might as well say I fought 10 Godmodes in one map. Last time I saw these bad boys was maybe 2015 so the nostalgia hit after seeing Mammoth + Isida made me cry too.
