Skin features in Tanki Classic - Episode 556 of V-LOG Why the skins in Classic will differ not only with appearance, but also with settings and mechanics? "Upgrade costs so much time and crystals, that in the end you want to get something more than just a difference" [not buying it tbh]. "Otherwise, strange situation would arise: you spend a long time upgrading the same Railgun XT and in battle it's no different from regular Railgun. Not great!" This is why skins are going to be alternative versions of turrets. Not enhanced, but giving own character. Balance is preserved, but gameplay gonna be more interesting. It can be called augments, but the difference is that augments can be removed and replaced. Skins' uniqueness is built into it forever. [How turret works depends on equipped skin]. Firebird Standard - resembling current one from TO, but with "old" large and slowly reloading energy tank. XT - cone angle reduced to 5 degrees, ranged increased to 5 m LC - +20% damage, energy tank size +1 sec, no ignition damage (before rebalance, it didn't have ignition at all) DC - -20% damage, speed and heating limit significantly increased (version right after rebalance) Freeze Standard - larger and slower-reloading energy tank compared to TO. But you need twice as much time to thaw/unfreeze. Freeze resembling first version, strong freezing and no toxic mechanic that stops tanks dead XT - cone angle reduced to 5 degrees, range increased to 5m LC - +15% damage, energy tank size +1 sec, no freezing damage Hammer Standard - 3 shots per clip XT - 2 shots per clip, pause between shots is 60% shorter LC - +50% damage, incresed reload time Isida Standard - equal energy consumption for damage and healing + self-healing XT - energy tank for damage -1sec, energy tank for healing +2 sec LC - -20% damage, self-healing increased from 50% to 70% Twins Standard - slight projectile slowdown in flight and splash XT - -15% damage, increased rate of fire LC - splash damage disabled, no self-damage Ricochet Standard - isn't that different from TO before variable projectile speed XT - gains splash damage, [can deal self-damage] LC - rate of fire +30%, projectile speed -50% Vulcan Standard - almost modern version of Vulcan, no ricochets and sharp angles, equal barrel startup XT - small amount of splash damage LC - projectile speed higher, barrel slowdown time increased PR - single richochet of projectiles, self-damage Smoky Standard - specific critical damage settings used post-balance era. Critical chance is configured to occur every 4-5 shots, chance to trigger critical hit on 3rd and 6th shot. Projectile speed increased as much as game allows. XT - critical hit chance 20% LC - no critical damage, damage and rate of fire +25% Striker XT - +25% damage, rocket acceleration 3 time slower Thunder XT - rate of fire +15%, slow projectile speed LC - damage +20%, full damage range reduced to 10 meters [short range] PR - rate of fire -10%, each hit reloads turret by 18% Gauss Standard - two-second lock-on and instant projectiles from regular shot XT - increased damage, reduced rate of fire PR - target retention 10 sec. [you can keep target on scope for such time] Railgun Standard - lost damage reduction based on distance XT - damage -12%, faster warm-up and reload LC - damage +25%, damage based on distance [the further, the less damage] PR - reloads 10% longer, destroying a tank reloads half turret [destroying enemy immediately returns half the charge] Shaft Standard - retains laser scope and damage reduction from distance for arcade shot XT - damage for both types of shots +25%, arcade shot rate of fire reduced by 25% LC - sniper damage +30%, reload time increased, max damage charge up 6 sec, no laser All settings are in Classic. If in future players vote against the existence of "augments" in Classic, unique skin parameters will be erased and standard version parameters of corresponding turret will transfer to all skins.

Small nerfs that won't do anything serious. You ask devs for too much. Do not do it again. :trollface: This... ISN'T asking for too much.

So the Challenge Accepted 2.0 arrived again. Now in form of a Block Blast game. This time TOP-1 boi gonna get the ultra rare Holi animated paint (unless someone with this paint gonna grind and not make anybody get it). Again, certain words are aging really badly: Basically copy and paste from first Challenge Accepted 2.0 called Armor Blocks, except the fact there's no unique participants paint + two new augments + 2 skins this time. I don't see anywhere information how much point there is for clearing one line. Or my vision is getting worse and worse. Or my reading skills... Guess another grinder event.

Congratulations to the Best Helpers of August 2026

In russian V-LOG form link in description is working. Yeah, this is organization in Tanki Online and it's V-LOG contests. EN link not working and russian one does work.

I guess it was mentioned in other places, which is Tanki Online Discord server and also discord server for people from Lions fraction + sum other places where people can use chat. Plus this issue got fixed already. Yeah, no information what happened to stars which were used by players from Bear fraction on that territory (unless someone who told tanki support about it got answer what happening in that case). If no info what about it, then... welcome to Tanki Online. A downfall, and then getting back up. But we gonna see about it in next days.

The First Wipe in Classic - Episode 554 of V-LOG Reminded that after wipe accounts will be reset, but not from zero. Players on those accounts gonna have 100 000 crystals and start from Second Lieutenant rank + fixed many things mentioned episode 552 of V-LOG. Dozens of Legacy versions of existing locations were added to Tanki Classic + few maps from past and they already have drop zones. There will be fewer maps than on test servers now, but those maps gonna stay there permanently. In V-LOG it was shown that to access the Legacy Version of map, players during creating them have to choose "Autumn Day" theme. Extra special offers for test participants will appear later. From them players gonna get extra experience, crystals and things which are not planned for final version, but are available to test like B0-NK, The Unknown Hull and Grenades + other experimental equippment. That's not last wipe. Testing continues - new steps and polls are ahead. Players will be notified about another wipes and other changes.

Good luck to the participants!

Good luck to the participants!!

Copy and paste from previous year. And of course same mistake repeated! Once again braindead players defending territories that doesn't even border the "front line" like for example Capitals, Magadan and Sandal. Is it really that hard to block possibility to vote for such territories or ya gonna give goofy excuses like "it's players fault they do this" or "in each fraction such situation happens, so be happy enemies also sabotage their own team and helping your one" etc. Guess I am once again asking for too much... Won't be suprised that once again Stars bought for Rubies also count for this event. At least we get guaranteed prizes and many keys for just 100 Rubies (via buying event pass). Also, were there any changes to map after publishing announcement about it and before today? I see some small changes comparing now and what's in announcement.

Uhm... I think this paint is named "Tankitty". This paint was accessible during The «Rally Tankcar» Event in 2023. Maybe if such event appears again, it can be obtained again. Who knows? Check announcements to see if there is such event again and such paint... again. Currently it's not possible to get it. https://en.tankiwiki.com/Tankitty

The rank change in forum is kinda interesting (That "Forum Veteran", "Forum Legend", "Talkative Tanker" etc.). Not sure if that's useful in any ways or just to flex. How does that thing work (How many points for doing what in this forum?). By now there are such ranks: Rank 0: Tankers (?) [if we can even call it a "forum rank"] Rank 1: Garage Guest Rank 2: Forum Mechanic Rank 3: Talkative Tanker Rank 4: Marshal of Discussions Rank 5: Forum Veteran Rank 6: Forum Master Rank 7: Forum Legend

That's not a joke - that's a new tradition. Just like many things in this game. Let me quote myself from Cosmonautics Day 2026 topic: So in such events expect such things. Get used to that. Basically each year is a repetitiveness with small things changed. Read what I wrote above.

Tanki Classic Wipe - Episode 553 of V-LOG Q: When will the wipe take place? A: The wipe will take place in the second half of August. That's all!
