Multi weapon/user tanks and president/VIP style games

[spunkery 0]

I know Tanki is about killing (although recently all I want to do is heal), but there could be some great fun to be had racing hornets or wasps; where maybe you can only use Isida as a weapon.  The tracks could be made from current levels, or new levels with jumps etc........it's great fun drifting the hornet around and this could be incorporated into battles; battle races.

 

 

You could have president/VIP type games, where one tank has to be protected and get from one spot to another.

 

 

Another thing; a new type of tank that has multiple weapons on it;  you could have one person driving and a few people mounted on the turrets.  I already spend too much time on Tanki so if these come true this might not be a good thing for me    :tank:

The new game modes are both interesting concepts - they've been suggested multiple times by various players, so they might be added at some point.

 

As for the multi-person tank, I guarantee it will never be added as it completely doesn't fit into the game.

Thanks for the reply; sorry if these things have been posted on here before, I probably should have searched before posting.

 

Just out of curiosity, do you mean the multi person thing wouldn't work from a technical point of view, or more that it conflicts with the idea of the game?

Both. It wouldn't work since a group of random players is unlikely to be able to effectively work together in one vehicle, meaning that this type of tank will be quite unpopular. It also doesn't fit the game's concept, where every player controls their own tank. Such a vehicle would break the pattern and be really difficult to balance so that gameplay doesn't get destroyed...

 

Just as a fun experiment to prove that this won't work: get a friend to sit next to you with one of you controlling the turret and the other controlling the tank and see how effective of a team you end up being  :)

Yeah I agree with that, in terms of the balance of gameplay; but in terms of co-op, I play battlefield without voice chat and there is plenty of people that can work together as an effective team. Then again maybe that's not the best comparison! lol

 

Anyway, I play Tanki more than battlefield so I guess that's saying something!
