In every situation in life, Tanki Online being no exception, the fundamental condition for success and enjoyment is to know your enemy. An obvious idea for your enemy in Tanki is the players of the opposite team. But they are not your enemy, they are just your competition. They compete with you under a set of rules which are equal for both of you. Consider them with chivalry (even if they are low lives who use hovering hulls with mouse controls). Some claim that the developers were your enemy, for framing a game that would give an advantage to players who spend ever more money on the game. However, developers in their work just follow the rules of a capitalist economy, and if you work on your skills build your garage smartly, you will always be fine. A philosophical and Buddhist perspective would be that you yourself are your enemy, for your emotions tormenting you in gameplay. While this is a valuable perspective, it does not apply to a game, as the point of playing is to dramatically experience yourself and your emotions in a safe and non-serious setting. Some say that your enemy in Tanki were cheaters and "mults". Do not listen to them. Since the introduction of the Matchmaking system, "multing" has disappeared as an issue on Tanki, and cheating is almost non-existing, the hyperactive anti-cheat-system is much more of a nuisance than actual cheating. So if all those are not your enemy, who actually is? You will learn that teammates without a real life driving licence are your enemy. Teammates who never got educated against reckless driving are your enemy. Teammates who never learned to give consideration to acting in concert are your enemy. When they recklessly ram your tank (in particular while you are aiming), recklessly shoot their weapon without aim and purpose while hitting teammates, recklessly block narrow pathways, recklessly drive into your line of fire, then you will eventually recognize that it is them who is your true enemy. You will learn to hate and to curse them.

This is one of the two strategic development mistakes of this game. The first being a misguided focus on turnover and profit per player rather than overall turnover and profit, and the second being the infantilization of gameplay.

Gauss is fun to play with after the recent remake, were it not for this bug or glitch that has you deal zero damage with about half of your sniping shots. Please fix this.

Our German language forum now has a mention of the issue and an apology up on top. I think @Vickoletta is doing a fine professional job, better than the much bigger English language community management. And not only in this case, I do often read information earlier and more accurate and extensive in the German language forum than here. On the other hand, I prefer the strictly neutral stance on those real life events since February 24th, which we may not talk about (so I do not talk about it, although I have a strong personal opinion on the issue), by the English language community management over the subtly affirmative stance by the German language community management. So, depending on what your bottom line preferences are, you might want to use the German language forum with google translate.

The Armadillo module, properly upgraded, is the single most powerful piece of equipment in this game. But as the game will not allow the loading of battles for most players since Wednesday noon, the Armadillo module is as irrelevant as any other piece of equipment.

It is virtually impossible to load a battle since yesterday noon. However, reports of the issue in this thread have been systematically removed. I have seen at least a dozen of them in this thread alone since yesterday which then disappeared. Including two conversations I myself engaged in. No traces left. This is almost comical at this point. For the record, I now see three posts about the issue now, all from the last hour.

In my opinion, matchmaking has only one major issue, and this is the far too big rank brackets. While this is a serious issue through all rank levels, the issue is most bizarre where Legend players are frequently matched with folk who cannot even access mk7 gear. And to the initial question: There are no "bots" or "mults" in matchmaking battles. I wish these conspiracy theories would just go away, because they distract from properly addressing things. There are incompetent players, there are players with technical issues, there are plenty of players with maturity and character deficits. But "multing" is virtually impossible in the MMS, and this is one of the system's greatest advantages.

I know what is and has always been in the Wiki. It says 50 percent experience boost penalty: https://imgur.com/a/nFItWSB But ingame, in the window after the end of a battle, it recently started to say the same number of experience points with or without Premium. Here is an example: https://imgur.com/a/nFItWSB So what is it? Can you help, @Marekos1111@Sabry.Superman ?

Is this only a display bug, or has the experience boost penalty actually been removed from Premium, so that players can now buy and enjoy it?

Add Ukraine to country flag paints I am aware that country flag paints have been created for participants of one FIFA tournament. However, at least one additional country flag paint (USA) has been added since, and I think that there should be an Ukrainian flag paint, too. Without any doubt, there are many international players who would be interested in playing with an country flag paint of Ukraine these days. I for one would love to do so, and would happily pay money for the opportunity.

Striker should have a Javelin augment, that works like the real world Javelin anti-tank missile: Shortly before impact, the missile goes straight up, then turns to go straight down, hitting the target tank on its top. This hit away from the reinforced armour increases the damage dealt. The augment would have some natural downside, failing the target when it hides under a bridge or in a tunnel.

Yes, absolutely. You just have to make sure that you earn 300 Stars between buying and the end of the Youtuber battle. Like keeping rewards from weekly missions dry for this. You will find plenty of people here hating on you for this strategy, because with it you will slightly bring down the average of the then leading team, and thus slightly increase their risk that some other team might still catch up. So you should do it as late as possible, and not talk much about it here. I say this as someone who is on his way to contribute many stars to team Quirky. Coolest paint and from a quick glance at those six Youtube pages the most mature and intelligent person, in my impression the only one who does not appear annoyingly childish. And this is what matters most to me.
