What augments have you got?

Of course you were. Back on topic, i have changed my mind, the patch update is brilliant, more of the same i say.

Weird how my post gets taken down but not his? Now we no certain mods have there little favourites. You no what they say........ I think the patch update is not very good. There you go, back on topic.

Reminds me of hornets overdrive, OP for a very long time.

Then i suggest they update a tad quicker. Liaising with the developers on anything that effects the wiki seems a good idea. As for being tactful, (or anything else that resembles this word in meaning) when has that ever achieved anything with the developers. Can't say i have ever seen anyone use tactful methods to get their point across when confronting the developers on their lousy updates. The wiki is an important information hub for lots of players, reason dictates that this should be kept up to date with any and all changes in the game as they happen. If the mods or developers can't manage this, then new staff are needed who can manage this in a professional and timely manner.

As the name implies "tanks" are made for GROUND offensive/defensive roles, not flying or climbing on top of buildings. Kind of blown your post out the water, and then some. You have a nice day now.

I think this has been established pretty much, that regular containers are complete TRASH. Ultra containers are no better, so 990 tankoins for the miniscule chance of getting anything decent is a complete waste.

Agree. Hmmm, Disagree. 100% Agree. There is a catch of course when eventually getting armadillo, it costs a huge fortune in crystals to firstly upgrade it from MK1 to MK7 (rank allowing) then a further huge fortune to upgrade the MK7. That is why i disagreed about getting it. For what you get, taken into account all the OP gear that can take you out, it is just not viable for most players because of the very steep price you pay to upgrade it.

Unfortunately your account is now considered very weak. To do well you need a fully upgraded drone, (of your choice.) All protection modules should be MK7 and at least a few maxed out. You will also need augments and a hefty amount of supplies, also turrets/hulls should be MK7 or at least 2 of each that you like the most, maxed out. To acquire all of this asap would cost you so much you seriously would have to sell your house. To do it gradually would take you about a thousand years and also a massive amount of luck in container openings. You are getting blitzed in battle because you have none of these in your garage, with maybe the exception of supplies of course. Tanki has gone down the drain and it will only get way worse in the future.

Fair point against low G/S players. Try that against proper legends and you lose big time. Check out the video congo posted and tell me how you would do against the team that won. Like i said, brutus is not happening, not against that team. Without seeming brutal you would not have enough time to do much and the 38 kills you got would need divine intervention to achieve. In your battle you won and came top, so congrats for that.

Its ability to survive intact for the whole duration of its overdrive is a fallacy, after a couple of secs it does not do as well as you think and gets taken out just as quick as anything else going up against all the OP gimmicks that infest most battles. Believe what you want, i no differently, i use mammoth.

Do not let this one vid by a good switched on player who buys for fun (money is no problem) fool you. High ranked battles are full on bloodbaths loaded with OP gimmicks and if you are not a buyer you will suffer greatly and be wiped out on a very regular basis. Only when you have eventually maxed your garage along with a few OP augments will you be able to compete. Of course by the time you do max it out TANKI will have moved on by about a factor of 10, ergo you will be back to square 1 getting wiped out. My advice, do your best and enjoy the low ranks as much as possible, because when you reach LEGEND as a F2P you will see the true colours of tanki and its not 1 of these ? but more like this .

It all depends how you play the game. I did state patience as being a key factor, meaning not playing until you are at full strength or very close to it, to minimise the canon fodder scenario. I really disagree on this point "LEGEND" with brutus is a joke. Not having a go at players with this drone because i no F2P can only do so much, but brutus at the high ranks is just not happening. Would normally agree with you on that, if brutus wasn't so useless. You will not convince me that brutus is a worthwhile investment, because it's not. Quite the understatement. In todays OP, gimmicky tanki, that is a very smart move. This was a very good representation of how well you can do in battle, IF you are a heavy buyer and have a good team around you. Crisis, mammoth, armadillo, maxed out everything with vampire isida is a lethal set up. Mammoth made a couple of poor choices, but in the heat of battle we never get it right all the time. All in all mammoth played well and managed to get a gold without jeopardising the teams chances of victory, although the win was never in doubt. I did notice that this is not a up to date crisis as mammoth was getting max speed, armour, by picking up drop boxes, this no longer applies after the nerf to crisis which i thought was unfair and not needed. This is what an endgame buyer can do to lesser players. The only way to counter this type of player (team) is with players with the same skill level (and smarts) and maxed out garage with lots of augments. Enjoyed the vid, was nice to see a player with skill and intelligence use a combo to its fullest effect, buyer or not.

Like i said true enough, but its overdrive does not give you immunity for the whole duration of the overdrive. Try it and see for yourself. Like i said it is for a heavy hull overdrive or not, very weak.

This is very true as well, unless said miner has a boat load of mines down, then mammoth is also screwed big time, overdrive or not. I play mammoth a lot and its "immunity" is good at dealing with mines up to a point, but worse than useless against sustained counter fire even from 1 turret if no protection module is forthcoming. Having said all that with all the stuns, emp, etc on display mammoth does not fare well out in the open as its size would suggest, rather weak really.

True enough, although for the first couple of seconds it takes very little damage from anything, after that it loses its "immunity" very quickly and for a supposedly HEAVY hull it is rather weak at the high ranks. The developers have the mechanics of all tracked hulls messed up, i leave out the hovering garbage because they have a set of dynamics "AND RULES" all of their own that give them a unfair advantage at every rank. Basically F2P (getting back on topic) are screwed big time.

Forget brutus, (my personal opinion is that it is useless, hence it is cheap) go for trickster straight away as soon as you can get it. Brutus will only drain your crystal resources which you will need for more substantial equipment. Then do not play your account until it is at least 10/20 (your drone) and with fully upgraded protections at your rank you will do well in all battles. This of course takes patience and crystals, lots of them, even at such a low rank as yours. Of course the more you rank the odds of coming up against strong opposition increases. Unless you manage your account in a smart way you wont do so well in 4/5 ranks time, especially when you hit major and above. This is because MM will on many occasions put you up against ranks that are many ranks above you and at least 3/4 enemy players will have the G/S to match their rank, which will be bad news for you, even if you have been upgrading smartly. Stick with mammoth, get trickster, manage your protections well and invest in a turret(s) with prolonged fire power, twins, tesla, vulcan and i would say rico as well. Fire and freeze both do well at the low ranks to, if they are maxed out. At the end of the day it all depends how you like to play and the rank you are at, especially the rank, because the higher the rank the more difficult it becomes and also equipment becomes very expensive to upgrade. Although i do not agree with everything @DestrotankAI9 has said, he does make some very valid points that coincide with my own way of managing my accounts. I have 3 that range between WO and major and i have not played them in awhile due to the way tanki has butchered game play for most players. All i do now is upgrade various stuff across my accounts and let them time out until they are as upgraded as i can get them, (or until my crystals run out) then i might play them again. Playing them now without the resources would be suicide as i would rank way beyond my station and would become cannon fodder, no thanks.

You last a WHOLE 2 seconds........BUYER. ?

Trash containers, including ultra and infested with OP gimmicks. Everything is designed to make you use supplies quicker in the hope that somewhere along the line, "YOU SPEND CASH" to replenish supplies. No more premium unless you buy it, ranking up is now a fruitless endeavour and now holds no meaning, as you now only get 1 useless container instead of CRYSTALS. Paladin is still the dominant force in every mode. The flying garbage hull is still turning the tide of battles along side that other legal hack paladin. The developers constantly changing the mechanics of the game, when will they stop doing this. Shop prices constantly rising on a regular basis. Ultra weekends with boosted XP and lousy crystal rewards, that by comparison only further make low to mid ranks WEAKER with every rank up. The upgrading update along with this frequent boosted XP are the 2 things that most disadvantage players of a certain rank, between the very lowest rank and marshal. Revert your appalling update regarding upgrades and as a more than valid compensation for one of THE WORST UPDATES you have ever done, (and that is saying something) give all players who have upgraded anything beyond halfway the next level, FREE. If they have anything that is currently upgrading from 5/10 10/20 etc this also counts. You (the developers) say you act on player feedback, this is genuine feedback that has merit and needs acting on in a positive way to alleviate the damage you have caused to most players, especially the low ranked players who have no cash or very, very little to spend on the game. Make cash by all means, but also try and help those that like the game as much as buyers but who are left out of your plans when implementing any new updates. Epilogue. To the developers. Make your cash, the game needs it to survive, no one is disputing that. What is being disputed by the majority of players is your constant updates that leave THE MAJORITY of players out in the cold, with no chance to compete at any level against the buyers who have everything they need. The majority will now struggle to even equip their garage with any meaningful number of supplies, (especially batteries) which is a MUST when joining any battle. Last throw of the dice (for me at least) try and make the effort and give this post some meaningful attention and at the very least, think about the upgrading process which has left a lot of players with very weak accounts due to the changes you made.

WHAT?? And have the hard working developers lose out on money. I will quote on behalf of hazel "not gonna happen in a million, zillion years x infinity +1."

So paladin had a nerf, of course it did, what a load of nonsense. It still dominates just like the developers want it to. But hey the "helpers" think its a great game and the developers are doing their best to get the balance just right, for the buyers.

LOL just put me in a battle 5-zero down with 7 mins left.....like im going to stay. MM does not work, period.

The way in which hulls move gives these hovering hulls a huge advantage, plus they seem to survive way longer than they should even under heavy fire that actually hits them.

The only ones that can help players are the developers and they are not very forthcoming. How about any future complaints i paste and copy into every topic just to make sure that i cover all the bases. At least i will get it right once, unlike the developers.

And why not. May as well have submarines in the game, we have just about everything else.
