We already have Scorpion with Augment called "Skorpion 0.5" . It's called Magnum. Not sure if y'all heard of it ? Also you can use "Skorpion 0.5 TWO". Its called Striker like you said. Jokes aside its just another turret that nobody asked for to make tanki more annoying. I guess its because we don't have enough annoying long range "I press space enemy go boom!" turrets yet.

I couldn't agree more... Why do people act like its something new? They do this New augment every week then nerf it later ALL THE TIME. its not like you buy helios and oh no! it randomly gets nerfed after 2 years while another turrets/hulls never get nerfed/buffed. Why do they do it? Place yourself in devs place. if the recycle augment strategy get them big money then WHY CHANGE IT? Why add extra struggle of of creating new augment Icons, stats all that when you can create 1 augment then barely change it 5 times and get the same amount of money. And i would rather have recycled EMP and AP all that than Unique augments because we all know that they are way too OP. Blunderbuss (on release), vampire isida, helios etc. Of course they gonna say its affordable have you seen a guy selling something and not saying "oh its cheap buy it!" instead of that he says "no its expensive but buy it pls". Also its your decision if you want to buy containers or coinbox or whatever. you earn your money you spend your money where you want. i couldn't care less about Bob the Buyer buying 100 gold boxes with his money unlike 99% of this community from what it seems like.

I don't know about who's the best but i can tell you who is pure trash under "skilled people" blanket. [Edited - targeting of players] Now here are my feats. I see myself as above average. 1. In Smoky/Wasp event with no supplies/augments i achieved 1st place 3 DAYS IN A ROW (not counting battles where i joined and the battle already started 5+ minutes ago). And no i didn't play 3 battles. i earned 650k+ XP in that weekend from that event alone. Let me tell you i never played with Wasp/ Smoky in my life except for special events. (just look up my profile) 2. I was able to stop 4 group filled with buyers ALONE. Yeah i was using above average conbo but im basically in a 4v1... 3. Last weekend i stopped "Squash" match just because i used Healing Shaft. It was Berlin map so 16v16? When i joined my team were losing 6-0 and only 5 minutes passed. Enemy team had THREE YES THREE Helios and EMP freezers all that. My teammates would not be near a flag because they would get spam killed instantly. I joined and started healing everyone and killing off enemies slowly but surely me and my team took back our own base and our base became defensive wall enemies even now with 50% shaft prots could not capture ONE flag in 10ish minutes. We still lost 6-0 because... 3 Helios. do i need to say something? 4. I alone can start carrying my team no matter what conbo i used. it happened MANY times. And i DO NOT use EMP or AP. Adrenaline is my go to. 5. I earn 1000-1600 score every battle no matter what i use. Rico minus field, healing shaft, vampire isida, adrenaline freeze etc.

I love how people don't understand simple concept of Prizes will be delivered after the event. Last fund... THE SAME THING.... HAPPENED! Fund ended and 2 days later there was a giveaway for tankoins after that we received all the prizes. Its the same this time... lol

I had no problem with fund duration i just want for it to end so i can get my 2 skin conts faster lol. Like i said put yourself in tanki team's place. The game is your JOB and your salary depends on how much people spend. Don't you want your salary to be as big as possible? And upgrade your equipment so it makes the game better so more money and blah blah blah. They don't want you to get most exclusive items for 1.1k tankoins yet! is it so hard to understand? Its not a scam its a simple mini-game... see it as a lottery or something. Even Marcus once told that F2P players should NOT be getting Crisis (for obvious reasons) because it would most likely kill their account before they can even say "Tanki" and guess what would these F2Ps (potential future spenders) do? They would rage quit. Its not that the player base is small so we can't reach lvl 1000 the reasons why you are not reaching it are: 1. A lot of players don't even know Tanki Fund exists because they are just casual players who don't read the news and don't follow updates. 2. A lot of people just see how you can buy 300 of each supply for 1,100 tankoins and go "HELL NO" without further digging that would reveal they would get containers etc. (Casual players again) 3. Its just not worth for your average joe to spend 1,1k tankoins on 40 normal containers and 30 "Ultra" containers. They would get like 100k cry with some supplies anyway. 4. A lot of people just DON'T CARE about skin conts and Armadillo, Crisis etc. because they know how expensive they are and they don't care about the looks of their tank. 5. For most people its just better to buy 2 battle passes and get guaranteed couple Immunities, Legendary Augments, the same 2 skins, and more. 6. Average+ buyers who could push the fund don't buy the bundles because they have no value to them. For example me i am a medium buyer the only reason i bought tanki fund is because 2 skin conts. I couldn't care less about containers that would give me 1k crystals anyway. Armadillo and all that being in conts for so long made it easy to obtain for buyers. so they just have absolutely no reason to buy tanki fund.

They DO NOT want you to have all these premium items for only 1.1k tankoins. Just think about it, would you give away a 5 Tesla cars for 10$? No. Crisis and all that are their main selling points so of course they put them in the fund as bait. and if we reach them then that means they'll have to come up with another Crisis level item as new "buyer magnet" item in Ultra conts. yeah 90% of people will ran out of drugs after 1 battle of using crisis and it will take them a year to get Mk7 crit prot. But they DONT WANT YOU TO HAVE IT almost for free is my point.

Mining can be mitigated by mammoth's overdrive? Yes. Paladin OD? Just use AP Immunity and melee turret. Paladin OD is for support/attack! Somebody shooting you from the top of a building? Report him he's a hacker! Somebody applied several damaging effects to you at once? Just use immunity against effect you think is the worst! Bad effects are useful for attacking!

Well like i said once before yes you can just take mammoth OD and go thru mines (just for them to be replaced in like 20 seconds but lets ignore that) But if we take this logic then i can say "Oh helios is not OP at all just use ricoshet protection module." The point is i dont want to equip mammoth and basically do nothing just so i can destroy couple mines once every 2 minutes or something i want fun game-play without being forced to equip something i dont want.

<<<<<------------ I see you never player Capture the Flag/Ball modes. 2 Of these pathetic users with saboteur literally make ENTIRE MATCH UNPLAYABLE and guess how many times i saw non turret turning noob with wasp or hornet and green paint use this drone and mine the whole enemy base and do nothing but hide? OH BABY YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW THAT. Blaster is annoying sure but at least it doesn't make the entire damn game-mode unplayable.

After Legendary Augment Universal Nerf Jammer immunity is my 2nd most used immunity on hulls. If you sleep on jammer immunity its only your fault Jammer now is actually annoying effect that can actually effect you for a long time like EMP. Oh and i am that evil boogeyman who has Pulsar and almost every legendary item so that should tell you something.

Yes i didn't play with scorpion yet because Arms Race is famous for its amazing "get 10 kills but 9 of them are stolen by another people" offer. And i just refuse to believe after whats happening in the world that they won't go for the good ol' "Here's OP toy now gimme money" strat, nobody is stopping them from changing Scorpion a little last minute before release. Also if we are taking me vs scorpion situation then no even if im probably one of the best players with Shaft in this game (actually one of the best im not... we all know their names) i still will have no idea that im getting targeted most of the time because it has NO LASER or another kind of obvious indicator. Moving a lot is a strat? sure but how many times you saw a skilled player with shaft bob and weave all over the map? (not counting rapid fire) Even then its just annoying to move around places for no reason except fearing that random noob just randomly oneshots you.

OMG YAY!!!!! ... Jk who cares? Im pretty sure people see armadillo or crisis as more valuable.

When i mean hide i dont mean that one Saboteur hiding for the entire match in a corner where nobody can reach him. By hiding i mean tactical hiding for example when gauss is targeting you do you just drive looking at how nice the weather is? or try and hide so he loses his lock? Personally i started defending/supporting with Healing Shaft so i dont move a lot, i find a place where its the most efficient to heal teammates get kills and save flag, ball etc. a lot of people come and attack me but i know shaft way too well and im actually SKILLED WITH IT so even against tesla in close range there is a big chance i win. Now scorpion randomly targets me and shoots into the sky without me even knowing it is that fair? Also spicy battles? I see sir you didn't play MM because unless youre 9k+ GS or vampire isida you are getting oneshotted by goddamn freeze when he touches you thats the reason i chose defending since you can survive for more than 10 seconds and its more chill. and no it will not make the battle more "Spicy" what it will do is add another one hitter quitter to MM. These words are coming from buyer who has almost everything btw, so F2P yeah... RIP

Another turret that shoots into the sky so you cannot hide no matter what you do because maps were not built with magnum and scorpion in mind... great... oh and let me guess another helios level item in ultra containers for "early access"? Dont worry about rockets aim in arms race being as good as average MM player, its just to throw you off thinking buyers won't receive OP "early access" turret.

Well if the nerfs we are using are conbos then nothing is OP. Helios just use rico prot or armadillo and all it does is tickle you vulcans? prot/armadillo the thing is i dont just want to sit with shaft or focus my entire conbo on one random dude potentially sacrificing a win in return. it needs to be nerfed

Paladin OD is on the level of another ODs the thing that makes it look OP to some people is the fact that with for example hornet OD you have to have a specific strat to make it OP as hell and paladin is just Hehe i press Shift i win if enemy no AP immunity hehe. I have nothing against status immunity i think all ODs should have some kind of status immunity for 5+ sec this would nerf the skilless status effect era by a lot actually. Also mine immunity should be added to all ODs too because a couple of saboteur users completely freezing CTF/RGB is a little absurd. The things THAT HAVE TO BE NERFED ARE Helios Vulcan bots (Flying hull + vulcan with any alteration) Vulcan critical shots. Yeah its 1% chance or whatever but supercharge OD exists and it turns vulcan into oneshot from any range turret even if you have armadillo Saboteur. 1 Saboteur drone camper in the enemy team = you cant win in CTF RGB and maybe ASL

??????????? Im playing MM A LOT nowadays and i didn't notice any changes to XP or Crystals. im still getting the same 3-5k crystals in a normal day and 8-12k on the weekends.

Yeah im pretty sure Full Scale Nuclear war would be the end for tanki because everyone would Despawn from the world, so nobody would play this game. or EMP shockwaves will cook all the electronics and make them unusable, taking humanity years until they can restrore it. Though i think you would have to drop so many nukes for EMP from Nukes to cook 90%+ electronics that it would cause Nuclear Winter anyway and Nuclear Winter update will cause humans to not like the game and Leave Planet Earth map.

It all boils down to good ol *P word* and trying to disrupt life for normal Russians and people from another countries because they support *W word* in eyes of people who are smart enough to do DDoS attack but not smart enough to understand simple things about i guess *P word*. Im pretty sure at this point Devs and hackers are playing Cat and Mouse but at the end 99,9% the devs are going to win.

Add "Wow" emoji plsssss so i can spam it just like in Facebook i think it would be cool neutral...? emoji. Also RIP Shrug had so much fun memories when my existence alone would trigger half of the forum after i posted a Hot Take and then i would get spammed with Shrugs... fun times...

Well you see countering DDoS attacks is not as easy as 2x2. Attacks started weeks ago so you had a choice if you want to buy premium/TP seeing how when they fix it the lag comes again should be a good sign that you should not buy until at there is at least one week with no lag. Also just refresh tanki couple times, it always works for me when you log in then you take your 150 tankoins and a container ASAP. Like i said DDoS attacks are not childsplay. Even Amazon got DDoS'ed couple years ago. And what are the chances a random small tanks game would get DDoS'ed? i can't blame the developers for not expecting a Cyber Attack on a game with average of 8k PCU. Though they should inform players more than just putting a little notice in the forum, there should be DDoS notice in game news too so people can stop being confused.

Depends on a situation, it can shut down weeks later or its going to shut down 50 years later. 1. What devs do? Updates/Changes How often do they listen to the community 2. How much "attractive" pay to play items they are releasing. 3. Just because its a Russian game. Lets ignore that it has nothing to do with *bleep* and devs im 99% sure are against *bleep* but there are a lot of people not realising that from what im seeing Very possible... Im using Twitter for years (bad idea do not do that trust me lol) From what im seeing they are inexperienced group of hackers seeking for attention. I can just smell it from the way their Tweet was writen. They attacked small Russian game that was likely to not have much protection against DDoS attacks. This way if they do a mistake and get caught they are most likely safe from getting sued for millions of dollars and big jail time or whatever the laws are in Russia.

To me he seems like a random kid trying to be all cool. The game was never down for 5 hours except maintenances maybe but even then... longest time servers were unusable was like 20 minutes

The Server issues are not because of too many players trying to log in. If too many players was the reason the game would just be incredibly slow for example it would take like a minute of loading to load your missions tab. They are not telling us the reason but what i noticed is that another RUSSIAN creator gaming related thingies are acting weird lately. So it could be because of *blur* me not allowed to say that me sorry.

As a HE Shaft Main i can tell that its perfectly balanced. 1. ITS LEGENDARY Augment! not 250k cry garage augment you can buy anytime. how many times did you get augment you wanted from legendary tier? getting HE shaft is actualy like a thousand times harder than nanobot. 2. No criticals is actualy a big deal both for healing and demage. 3. Everyone and their grandma has 50% shaft prot all of a sudden so its demage is already nerfed you can say. I would say HE Shaft needs some kind of indicator that teammate is being healed that can be obvious so people can stop using repair while at full HP thinking that they still have no HP left after i healed them also it would be more fair to enemy. Another than that i see no need to change HE Shaft. Finding a healer is already once a lifetime event and HE Shaft is one of the rarest augments from what i noticed.
