You are so right this time! For only $19.99 you will receive a staggering 45.000 crystals. Let's jump for joy.... 45.000 crystals!!! Wait, what does it cost to own a M4 hull, turrent and paint again? Right, not very objective for a newspaper reporter. Then again, what can you expect from a reporter writing for the same company that hired him. I keep it short, this is by far the most expensive game I've ever encountered.

Either you didn't read anything, or you don't understand! If you serve someone a turd with sprinkles on top, it will still taste like... you know turd! Btw, it's not like we have a choice not to use the upgrade's benefits. Now do we?!

If only... Tankers like you refused to spend the extra cash. If only... Buyers refused to pay again because they feel like being slapped in the face. If only... Both of the above left... it would turn this matter into a snowball effect, prices would rise (we've got to pay the bills). More players will leave. Those who stay face fewer and more unbalanced battles. Lose interest and leave too. If only...

Valid point!

I'm glad I didn't need to point my finger at you to figure that out :) But it's you and especially those who obtain their first M3 equipment tomorrow, they will be facing god knows how many M4 tanks. Good luck!

LOL! You have humor, I like that :) Please let me remind you, this update has created a huge gap. A gap between players whom already owned M3's and those who are about to. They have to upgrade all, if they want to maximize only one parameter. Window shoppers (LOL) could before, but as of now spending some real cash seems inevitable to keep up the pace. Only time can tell what going to happen...

Please, do feel free to post this everywhere you like ;) And while you're at it please add: 'window shoppers don't pay Tanki's bills'

Tankers that buy with earned crystals are NOT customers, they're window shoppers. No customers equals no Tanki! Okay you need those non paying tankers as well, but to a far lesser extend.

I have to disagree with the last part. One of the first lessons in marketing is, that returning costumers are more valuable than potential customers! Why!? Because once they're gone, they most probably won't return. While on the other hand potential customers don't generate any income.

Well spoken! You forgot to mention one thing. Those who pay-to-play and did spend millions to gain an advantage are left with a kick in the nuts! And please correct me if I'm wrong... aren't those players Tanki's most valued customers?

Please! Somebody help me by removing that knife sticking from my back... This update single handedly chocked every single player that has provided Tanki with a steady income over the last few years! Name one reason Tanki, ONE! Why should we regain trust into investing more money?

...and murder isn't!?

Nope! Even if the winners stayed and the losing side were to accumulate score 10 times faster, then the timer also appears.

I pointed out this fact a few times already with zero replies, so don't get your hopes up!

You my friend, have no idea!

I play with neither (yet). Dictator is the only Hull I never even owned at M0, ever! I use Hunter, it works good for me. However, I do very very slowly MU my Viking to M4 to go with my Twins and Freeze. Viking has plenty HP for direct combat. Better accelaration and pushing power then Hunter. It drives in a good straight line. And altough lighter then Hunter, it feels more stable. Hunter is more for dancing, if you get my drift. And where was I going... Oh yeah, only Viking with Twins or Freeze for me and I still see no use in Dictator :)

Yeah, that's pretty much the case. I love the game, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I care about the game, hence the fact I'm letting you know it sucks without Hammer protective paints. Balance is key for every good match and that's exactly what's missing at the moment. Paints should have been released at the exact same moment as Hammer, that's all! Of course I do have some minor issues too, but those I can live with...

Please explain?

Go to bed then!

Learn to read!

This game sucks alright, and it will suck as long as there is no protection against Hammer! Call it whining, I call it planning failure!!

It's really ridiculous that happened to you and should not be allowed to occur. I indeed asked Tanki te same question, but I guess they didn't seem to care to give a reply... Thanks for your answer though!

Let me get this straight! You joined the losing side in a CTF game. Your team started winning. In fact, your team started doing so well that they accumulated score 10 times faster then the enemy. The enemy team went empty, only one player stayed. The timer started running, despite the fact that your team didn't capture as much flags as the enemy. The timer ran out and you lost, when you where actually winning...

I miss the old fysics most out of all changes!
