Hazel,i think the update is delicious and i like it. and i like the changes which have been made to the shaft(turret rotation and recharge bar).but i feel a little let down as the hp of shaft has been reduced.
anyways i believe the guns are now fairly balanced.
Nice work.

I started tanki, on my main, a couple months before rebalance. Since then the devs have repeatedly made this game worse.

 

First there was: rebalance.Then the infamous 211. TThen microupgrades. Then another rebalance of shaft, twins, rico, etc. Then this.

 

Except for maybe rebalance, none of these updates improved game play at all. These were not done with the players in mind. They were done to force buyers to pay more money to maintain their top equipment. For instance, pre re-balance, buyers(and non-buyers too, I miss my M3 : ( ) could and did get a full M3 garage. Problem is, once the buyers bought themselves all the best hulls/guns, they stopped buying. Well, instead of just waiting for new players, or advertising the game too attract new players, the tanki devs had a plan. They did "rebalance". Now all the crystals from the M3s... would hardly get you a good post-rebalance M-3 combo, if even that. Well, tanki devs must have been right. Having been ripped off by rebalance, the buyers promptly bought more crystals to buy the new "OP guns".

 

Then 211. Someone noticed after 211, maybe because tanks killed faster/moved faster, that it was possible for non-buyers to rank up and earn crystals still. Not very easily, but that wasn't going to happen. Not on a tanki dev's watch! So they nerfed the economy to make it extremely difficult to earn enough crystals to get the guns as you ranked up. Basically, to force people to buy to be able to afford more than one gun, or even just that one gun. Eventually, due to the extremely slow rate of progress and widespread complaining(don't say it never works) tanki fixed this a little bit.

 

Then Microupgrades. Microupgrades at M3 can take days to occur. Fully upgrading an M3 would take months of straight muing, no playing (playing to earn the crystals for MUing would have to be done with another gun, which players pretty much have to buy...). So from here on out I am assuming that players at M3 always use speedups. Fully upgrading an M3 costs millions of crystals. Yet, since it existed, a few players used the MUs, forcing many others to buy crystals to be able to be competitive even, much less retain that buyer equipment dominance. Once again: tanki makes it harder to be competitive to force more people to buy or previous buyers to buy again.

 

Then these recent rebalances: Buyers/players buy the guns that are currently OP. So tanki massively changes the game. Most people can't afford to buy the new OP gun, so they either have to play with a less OP gun OR pay real money. The repeat buyers get ripped off yet again, as they rush to buy cry to buy the new OP guns. The other nonbuyer players are screwed.

 

The pattern is this: Devs change game. Players accomodate game by buying new "OP" guns, hulls, etcetera. Devs update game to make their equipment worthless(new guns are "OP"). Players buy new "OP guns"... But they have to buy crystals to do it.

 

If you don't like these updates, consider what happens when you pay for them. It just makes the next "update" more likely. The purpose of these updates is not improving the game, it is to make money.

 

I think this game is dying. When a noob joins, they know they won't get to generalisimo. Usually, they get stuck in the high warrant officer rate it seems, based on the player rank/battle distribution. There seem to be noob-> warrant officer and generalisimo, with less and less in between. This game is dying as a result of these updates. And I won't miss it much anymore.

 

Nothing in this post is against the rules

I just realized that this^^ is why XPs got so much popularity lately. They're the only battles that everyone's equal...there are no buyers and non-buyers there...no MUs or drugs...no mults or noobs(well maybe sometimes...but it's rare). It seems to me now that XPs are the only thing left to keep this game alive  o.O

We paid a lot of money to upgrade our garage to m4. If you will not return our money back with this stupid upgrade we will stop this game forever.

The words sound. These changes in order to charge the crystals 
 
Played to earn money only 
 
Not for fun and you feel stupid for playing dumb and developers think they are smart
