Is successfull playing tankionline really based on skills?

[Attackers-UsuallyWin 0]

My opinion is that everyone should have almost equal tools, so your skills matters more than the guns.

 

Tanki gives what you ask for on the enter battles page.

 

Its called create a battle. Adjust the ranks that can enter the battle to WO4 or main account rank and below. All guns and tanks used in the battle will be for your chosen rank or ranks.

 

If you wish, make it private and practice your skills on the map you usually can win on. Can you take the flag and cap in your best winning map; all the way in reverse whilst shooting. That skill will win you plenty mighty crystals.

 

What is your xp/crystal ratio?

KiwiZaphod listed skills in an earlier post - would u like to list yours? :)

Well, there was this Shaft that was hiding in bushes. He had a green colored paint, so he ended up with a high D/L ratio, despite being out in the open, his only concealment being bushes.

what im going to ask is irrelevant but i don't know where to ask for help so i was wondering if you could tell me how can i start a new topic?

You have a point here. :)

 

What do you mean with that experiencepoint/crystal ratio? How do i get that?

Such questions should be posted here.

Ckeck out battle results table at end of battle, (screen grab), or use top of screen info - divide xp increase by crystals won in the battle, include boxes.

 

If more than about 1 xp per crystal you end up poor, shot up, cannon fodder and what seems to b your problem. :)

 

For lots of plenty mighty big heaps of crystals; practice tactics, think of battle winning ways, and how to help team mates etc.

 

The biggest & best tactic is 2 always have fun. :D

They made the rabalance because of this, dont join battle for higher ranks than you and you'll be fine.

 

 

Before the rebalance, you can see WO4's running around with Viking/Thunder M3 ... -_-

[KiwiZaphod 53]

Before the rebalance, Rail always killed Wasp - yet we used to see a lot of Wasp+Rail battles, because their "one shot kill" nature mean that Hull/Weapon/Paint wasn't a factor (apart from concealment!) - but skill (and luck) were.

[JonathanBernatowicz 119]

There's also the whole "economic" tactics of what to buy and what not to buy. Lots of different hulls, guns and paints or a limited range that suit your tactics? Purchase supplies, or not? I see a lot of people spend up on guns, but ignore protection paints, especially those that are good against thunder/shaft/railgun (Corrosion!). Speed, concealment and smart use of cover are also underrated by a lot of players, but keep you alive.

[AntaresXT 12]

No, wrong. I used my M3s and then Railgun M2, with Hornet M2 even without using any supplies, got on my nerves and killed me all the time, until he left the battle; I hate this combo, because in another battle he got the second gold box, but I would've gotten it if it weren't for this combo. Curse Railgun + hornet!!!

[Mr.SV.ENS 738]

I have seen so much of "single shot kills" in this game, that i am sure you can be as skilled as you want, and still you will lose if you are fighting someone with upgraded guns. I mean, when you have m0 hull and m0 gun, you can't ever win even m2 guys if both has full health.

 

Smoky is one of the most dangerous guns. They just shoot everything that moves and if they has lucky (not skill) you will die right at your spawning point.

 

The m0 and m1 guns should have increased their power and m2 and m3 should be lowered their power. Same to hulls. Its an insanity how unbalanced this game is. Sometimes Its more like fighting with horse when others has B2 bombers filled with neutron bombs.

 

And the drugs. They are also too powerful. Now they will add 100 % energy to your tank, but i think better would be more like 50 %.

 

And this was not an idea. Its more like whining about the balance things.

I have some points for you:

1. M0 stuff isn't made to win from M2 stuff, why would you upgrade it if M0 can win from M2?

2. Smoky isn't noob, smoky is one of the hardest guns to master in the game.

3. Drugs are made to make you powerfull

4. Don't cry

5. Don't complain any more, the game is balanced now.

6. Only say a gun is noob if you played with it yourselve, because playing with smoky is quite hard.

Curse Railgun + hornet!!!

You were being out-skilled, not out-gunned, by someone who knows how to make a combination work effectively. Hornet/Railgun in skilled hands is a fearsome opponent - the combination of speed, firepower, stability and long recharge time favours hit-and-run tactics; (camping is difficult because of the visible shot signature.) You beat this combination by tackling these features - for example subtract their speed/manoeuvrability with freeze, knock their one-shot off balance with twins or smoky, use splash damage or ricochet when they dive into cover. Defensively - don't drive in a straight line across wide open spaces without nitro, use elevation to get out of a line of fire, get a two-shot hull/paint combination, don't telegraph your location by firing all the time, and keep a wall or boundary to one side to reduce the directions a threat can come from. Exploit the slow turret turn time, fire delay and rate of fire by KEEPING MOVING - ideally across the line of fire, and always flat out. Railgunners LOVE stationary targets.

And - maybe more importantly - when you come up against a tough to beat combination, stay in the game. Learn. Find weaknesses. Swap out to different hulls and pains. Find what they dislike. Use it against them. Come back harder. Win.

To be a good player,you just need good weapon or good drugs or good skills

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

Skills lol

[Lankbouv 6,347]

Noobs just shoot everything they see moving.They look like idiots when they don't move they're Turret.

You, yourself, are a noob. Look at your rank. I have 5 dupes which are higher.

[kmak.anaka 73]

That's because you see only your own text and ignore others.

I am ignorant of other people and what they feeling, is that what you mean? Please don't start your jibba jabbing

1. Because M2 firebird is available only at rank that i am not at in. And because that upgrade costs about 70 € if i counted that correctly. With that costs its not wise to upgrade more than just only one gun and i am chosen firebird. So i just had to wait until i am at that rank and then try to collect that huge amount of money with playing.

2. Okay, i might be wrong then about smoky. :) I just have seen that at now there is so popular to use smoky in the maps i play. And its so common that some smoky guy kills you at your spawn point without giving you a change to move more than just 1 second. I don't know what makes using smoky harder than the other guns, but if you say so, it must be hard. Maybe ill try it out for some day.

3. Drugs are made to make you an unfair opponent. Its a legal way to cheat in the games.

4. Crying is ok, you can cry too if you want to. ;)

5. Yes! Everyone stop talking and developing, spread out! The game is perfect now!

6. You already said that. Actually i never used word "noob" you just found that by yourself.

No, i was pointing, that you are the only one who said "blah blah blah" in this thread. So your point was an offtopic and you are here just trolling and making it harder for others to speak.

Ah - Firebird, huh? I think I'm spotting your problem right there. You've reached a rank now where you are starting to meet the "long guns" at "M1" level in the battle - you'll be up against WO1-4s with their upgraded Rico, Railguns, and Thunders. You'll be mostly in a light hull - Wasp or Hornet - to get close with that Firebird, right? Still at M0? And those M1 Mr. Freezes are starting to do a better job at short-range defence too. Few more people with protection paints that cut the damage back too, I'd say? Firebird has its uses, but its going to be hard going for the next few ranks. Might be time for a change of playing style and tactics.

[red_tank_the_best 300]

Long wersion of answer:yes

[red_tank_the_best 300]

Short wersion of answer:

To own skills,you must have a lot of xp.to have a lot of xp you must kill a lot of players.

to kill a lot of players you must have good tank.to have good tank you must buy it.to buy it you must have a lot of cristals.

the point is that you need a lot of cristals ro have good skills.

^ A gold box of a post. No more crystal buying if u take the above on board. :)

 

OP. Smoky skills are referred to in many posts.

 

Use Smoky / Wasp combo (100 crystals) in private battle Sandbox map - move (no stopping & + in reverse) and fire at cliff - u need 2 get all the shot markers overlapping. 30 minutes practice then go win, u r the top gun, enjoy. :D

Whining about rebalance must be done in this topic.

 

And whining will be ignored -__-

 

We need good graphics for a reason; It's 21st century!!! We pay a lot of money for nothing; this game needs good graphics as fast as possible!
