  1. You've removed modules from store kits but (as far as I can see), the prices are exactly the same as they were before. Can you stop rushing updates and breaking the economy please.
  2. Way too overpowered, especially for someone like me who sits and camps with a turret like Railgun and doesn't die particularly often - I'd be getting the max increase all the time and 1 shotting everyone ?

    Yes - I've had this before; you're opening the containers, you press escape but the noise continues even into battle. Restarting the game fixes this issue. You can report the bug here if you want.

    Tweez was one of the people who inspired me to take up writing as a hobby, all those years ago. Great story by a dearly missed friend
  8. You say that but I've already seen plenty of players using only Dictator/Striker in battle, so clearly there are people out there trying for this.

    The Mighty Hood - A Poem

    Hello people I've played this game for a long time now (longer than I'd rather admit) but, aside from playing Tanki I do enjoy other things - such as writing for example. I've always had a fascination with WW2 naval warfare and the respective navies and ships of that era, and one of my favourite ships from World War 2 was a battlecruiser, named HMS Hood. Built and launched during WW1, she was built in response to a number of issues that became clear after Britain's cruisers spectacularly detonated during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The Hood was designed to be a fast battleship - known as a battlecruiser, giving her the speed of a smaller ship but without taking too much away from the guns or the armour. She remained the largest warship in the world for the 20 years between the Wars, touring much of the globe. However, in her long period of service her equipment (and armour scheme) became very antiquated and effectively useless in some cases. She was booked in for a modernisation refit, however this never happened due to the outbreak of WW2. Sadly, the cancelled refit may have actually saved the Hood from her fate, as in May 1941 she was ordered to leave Britain alongside the brand new battleship 'Prince of Wales' to pursue the German warship 'Bismarck', which had slipped undetected into the Atlantic to attack British convoys. The Hood and Prince of Wales engaged the Bismarck and her escorting cruiser in the Denmark Strait on 24th May 1941, during which a salvo from the Bismarck penetrated the Hood's weak armoured deck and detonated an ammunition magazine, blowing the ship clean in half. In a matter of seconds, the pride of the Royal Navy had slipped to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, taking with her all but 3 of her 1,431 crew members. Anyways, historical intro over - basically I'd never written a poem, and I'd been trying to motivate myself to write a short one in remembrance of this tragic event, but also as a reminder of the stupidity and ridiculousness of war. I should have really posted this on the 24th of May, given it's only a month away - but oh well. I have written this from the perspective of a son/daughter whose father died aboard the Hood, and this is them recounting the tale to their own child. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to me son, for the story I will tell you Is a sad account, a narrative historically true In this tale I will also tell of you my evaluation Concerning the end of the Hood, the pride of a nation In 1941, during the Second World War Came tidings that rocked Britain to the core A brand new warship had emerged onto the scene The powerful Bismarck, a battleship of the Kriegsmarine Although the British feared this German machine A defiant sense of resolve amongst them was seen For they thought that if there was one ship that could It would be the Pride of the Navy, The Mighty Hood The Hood was the flagship, a veteran of the fleet She could have been capable of the required feat If the battle had taken place perhaps two decades prior But sadly she belonged in a museum, not in battle fire There were those who harboured feelings of dread And amonst the crew's loved ones - many an anxious tear was shed Though of course if they'd known of the voyage's terrible fate They'd know ten thousand more tears would sadly await In hot pursuit of their dangerous foe Set sail two battleships, with destroyers in tow The old Hood, and the new Prince of Wales together Desperately battled the waves and weather Just when hope of locating their quarry was beginning to fade A message from the cruiser Norfolk was relayed Enemies had been spotted in the Denmark Strait Towards them they then steamed at an incredible rate The Hood first emerged, with the Prince on her heel They were welcomed with a barrage of enemy steel The Captain knew that, for their best chance of success He had to close the distance, onwards they must press As the German shells rained down with little retort The Hood's Captain ordered a swift turn to port To bring all guns to bear is what he planned But alas, for shocking disaster was at hand! The Bismarck levelled her guns with deadly aim To her crew's joy, victory was theirs to claim As through the swirling gun smoke was seen From the Hood - a blinding flash, a roar - the aft magazine! 1,428 souls perished on that terrible day In the freezing Atlantic in 1941, on the 24th of May The Hood and her crew now rest from their endeavour Her powerful guns have gone silent forever On cold spring nights in the Strait, it is said A ghostly ship can be seen sailing the mists ahead Above the murmuring tide, the sound of the Hood's bell A mournful toll, crying for those brave sailors who needlessly fell So there you are, my heir and son This tragic tale is a true life lesson Never set sail on the seas of conquest and war Or you will surely find pain, and nothing more Fin ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  10. Wow, this was pleasant surprise after all the containers I've opened this last week have given me nothing better than a shot colour for Hammer!
  11. They won't have got round to fixing it yet. They take ages to fix anything like that.
  12. But it's a great hobby though! Love the fresh air :D
  13. I appreciate the battery removal as I think that was long overdue. Some compensation for the lost SU crystals would be appreciated though!
