Due to the low number of entries that I have received, I have published all that I have received, regardless of their length. Enjoy and Discuss!
 

The best way to get crystals: DM vs TDM vs CTF
Tankionline is a game that is waiting for people to win crystals. You can too.

First, I will go over the different battle modes:

CTF: The most popular, a mode in which people get points for capping flags and killing opponents.

TDM: A more popular form of warfare in the lower ranks, a rather classical game. This is basically an extended version of DM, but with teams included.

DM: The simplest, but less played, like TDM, it is a free-for-all match

Statistics:

Chance for loosing your crystals in CTF: 50% chance that the enemy team is stronger, includes more buyers, ect. There is also a chance that an isida will join your team, risking the fact that he could take the fund away from you. Also, there could be a new buyer that joins your team and gets more points for killing enemy tanks than you do. Plus, unless you capture the flag, you are probably not going to win. This is almost impossible for shaft players, and campers.

In TDM: again, there is about a 50% chance the enemy team being stronger than you, and isidas get points for healing your team, and buyers still have a chance, but this form of combat is much better for campers because campers naturally accumulate kills, while faster tanks have a lesser chance. This is unlike CTF, when fast tanks have a better chance of winning.

In DM: Unlike CTF and TDM, in this mode, both fast tanks and campers have a chance, because fast tanks have more targets, and there are no teams. Campers have lots of choices of camping places, and unlike in team battles, because you can choose any in the map that you can reach. Again, this mode is totally different from Team matches, so isidas will not take your fund. Overall, this is the safest way to get crystals. DM also does not have the same point system as CTF and TDM, making it a more fun and easy, and there are no teams, so you have a even higher chance of getting crystals, because with teams, the looser gets almost none.

Choose the best mode for you:

While DM is probably the best for most people, there are some exceptions: Low-ranked buyers, you would be best not to do DMs, but CTFs. Lower ranks, the new rank law has helped you tons. Since the mode doesn't have points, I'd play with you being one of the highest ranked in the DM you pick. CTFs are great if you pick the winning team, but picking the loosing team is risky. If you can get a good CTF, they are always great, and a fun way to win crystals. Team players, (Such as isida and shaft) are best in either TDM or CTF, but the other guns, like the guns that played in DMs when tanki began, I would play DMs.

Overview:

Thunder: Best at TDMs and DMs, this gun can kill multiple targets, making it one of the best guns for these modes
Rico: Awesome at capping flags with a fast hull, this gun is one of the best at CTFs, which have much close combat to get to the flag, but can also be good at any of the other forms, as long as you have a good hull
Freeze: This one can dominate all of the matches with a skilled player, I would use this for CTF matches though. Fast, when having a fast hull on, this gun is a wonder at capping flags, but still can camp when needed. Can also take down many targets in a small DM match, but is almost useless at TDMs.
Shaft: A good thing to have on hand in a low number, with CTFs, but this gun will not win you crystals in this form of match. I would use this gun in either DMs (Having no team-mates to defend can be a problem, but there are several camping spots for this gun, nevertheless.
Overall, these guns all can be used at DMs, and I think that the most classical combat form in tanki is the best for earning crystals, as it is one of the safest. (Your drugging wont be wasted)

Summery:

In essence, I think that DM is probably the best way to earn crystals, but if you are a low-ranked buyer, go for a Team match, because you should use your advantage while you can :wink:

A friend of mine, AK45gun, has come up with an idea in the forum that many people have liked. He wanted me to help him bring it to the admin and game builders. He says, "To further enhance the security of Tanki Online, why not add a button to the interface?,which allows taking a screenshot or a video at the time in which it is some hacker or cheater in the game, and send directly to any moderator or the forum."- AK45gun on histopic. This would be cool to be inserted in game because many players playing tanki do not know how to take a screenshot and post it on the forum. Many hackers are getting off clean because of it. With the new anti-cheat systems, hacking is not as much of a problem, but, This would help pick off the last couple of stray hackers. From me reading about it, the button would be up around where the hall of fame used to be. This button would be pressed when a hacker is on the screen, it would automaticly take a screenshot of the tanki battle and, after approval of the user, send the screenshot to an/all online mods pm box and/or the complaints section. The button would say "Hacker catcher" or "emergency screenshot" or somthing. If the button is clicked by accident, after the button is pressed, a conformation of sending will appear. It would say, "screenshot taken. Send to moderator (or wherever it sends it.)?". On this screen it will also so a mini of the screenshot. If it was not an accident, they would click yes. If it was an accident, they would click no. If the button is abused and people click it just to be annoying, they will be banned.

And what about the screenshot button idea?

[WhiteKnight170 2]

And what about the screenshot button idea?

Good, although if it is only taken at the end, then you will only see them pwning, unless the are a lot lower rank.

I have played with some hackers, who do a massacre whenever someone else gets close to their score. In the end they only win by a couple of kills, so it isn't obvious.
