I believe many mobile players will agree with me. The mobile app version of Tanki Online has not been working for a year. Now we can only play through the Chrome browser.
When it was first released, the performance was terrible, constant FPS drops and lag. It has gotten a bit better now, but still not good. Even on low graphics, the FPS is often unstable. My phone has a 2.7 GHz CPU and 6 GB RAM, which is much higher than the minimum requirements written on the site. Still, the game only runs at 40–60 FPS on small maps, and often drops to 10 FPS during critical moments.
Please try to better optimize the Chrome version, or if possible, bring back the old mobile app.
Another big problem is the recent auto-aim update. Making auto-aim the same for both mobile and PC is unfair. PC players have large screens and full control using both hands. Mobile users have small screens and only use two thumbs. Aiming on mobile is much harder, especially because the same finger also controls the camera.
After this update, using Railgun on mobile has become almost impossible — especially for long-distance shots. Terminator (Juggernaut) is also very hard to use at medium and long range. Out of 4–5 shots, only one might hit the target. The current auto-aim settings are not bad for most mid-range turrets, but they make Railgun and especially Terminator nearly unusable on mobile(in higher mk versions).
Also, giving auto-aim to PC users made the game unbalanced. When this change happened, some people(Also, if I'm not mistaken, in the official YouTube video of Tanki Online) said that PC users were abusing mobile auto-aim by using Android emulators. This was said to be unfair — but now, auto-aim is given to all PC players directly, even without emulators. This gives them an easy advantage in battles.
A better solution to the emulator abuse would have been this: make auto-aim available only to players who enable touchpad control in the settings — not based on the device (PC or phone), but based on input type. This would have prevented abuse without making things unfair for mobile players.
And giving auto-aim to mobile is not unfair — it is a form of positive discrimination, because mobile users are already at a clear disadvantage in control and aiming. Removing that advantage only makes the gap between PC and mobile even wider.
Please test the game more on mobile and fix these issues. Also, remove auto-aim support from PC completely, and at least return the old auto-aim system for mobile in regular matchmaking (MM).
