Hello Opex

Agree! It is gradually occurring to me how bad this actually is. I find myself squinting to see opponents for pretty much 50% of battles. A huge eye strain is what it is. And for no reason. Look at this screenshot from Dusseldorf map, looking down an alley across the map. Now the alley is obv. blocked by friendlies, but advantage of magnum is I can lob over them. See anything to shoot at down there? Even a single supply effects is bigger than what a tank would be at the end of that corridor. And this is not some horror screenshot of an anomaly, it's not even a particularly bad one. It's like this all the time.

@AntiStatic Is this confirmed? I've had a very strong feeling of playing against (and mainly with) bots in some games lately.

I play magnum for main, and it shoots a lot of duds on both my Tanki accounts in steam/ browser. We are talking clear hits right on or right next to opponent, he is not newly spawned and I am not near/ after death. I see opponent visually being bumped by the hit, but there is no damage. It varies how bad it is from time to time, from 1 in 5 shots to 1 in 30. Some angles and passage shots are worse than others, and some opponents also seem to be worse. I had three straight hits on an opponent in Wolfenstein map, none registered. I love the mechanics of magnum, but this really eats my soul. Especially those critical shots when a game or a point is in play. I read up on forum and understand this has been a problem for some time. Possibly related to some a cheat buster update? But I have NOT seen any affirmative replies from devs. I want answers: Is this being worked on? NB: some guy told me in public chat this was part of a nerf rollout as the magnum was considered OP. I refuse to believe this would be considered a solution, but please... Do enlighten us on the situation and prospect of this turret.

I don’t like isidas at all, I don’t even like them on my team except for jug. Frequently they bump into me when aiming, block my shots, and even push me into open view. All to grind their stupid points... I was guarding goal in rugby with firebird as opponent approached. I was full health, but had two isidas charging me instead of defending. Opponent was in full view for a long time, but they kept on charging until the wasp scored. 9999 ppl probably know how to play them, but whatever. Hell no if I am getting into one. I created a new account and played it to 300k xp with a k/d ratio of over 2. But being a dominant player against weak opposition does not do it for me. The lack of teamplay and objective focus is the worst. I played a few good games vs 9ks only lately, even scoring top 3 several times with my magnum 4.5k build. But most games are horrible, especially when you meet groups or clans who target you and sweep you up immediately.

This is my first tanki account, and I just reached General with best builds MK 5 and 6 for a 5k GS garage. The game is now unplayable. 9 out of 10 games I’m put with 50%+ 9999GS legends. Average opposition in games is around 9k GS. When you do half the damage of the enemy, and they can survive double as much as you, what are you supposed to do? I started out liking this game for the mechanics and the occasional joy from good teamplay. Now I’m lobbing magnum in a corner waiting for a ricochet shooting 50 bullets per second to find me (lobbing duds btw). Or camping like an ***** with shaft, the only weapon I can kill anyone with, working for a 5/25 K/D ratio in order to complete my daily missions. I would have no problem waiting a minute or two for a more balanced game, if the player pool is too small. Without improvement in these conditions, I won’t hang around much longer.
