Completed Add a Radar/Minimap

[BlackEliteEnemy2 250]

Hey!
Name says it itself, add minimap to tanki. It could be in upper left corner, and players will be able to choose do they want to see it or no.
Write down what you think.

Honestly, I don't see the reason for having this idea implemented in this game because Tanki is not the kind of game that needs a mini-map. Maps are too small and gameplay is too fast. You'll waste time trying to use the minimap instead of actually looking at the screen, where split-second reactions can be a difference between life and death but still, let's mark is as under review. :)

Man, how many times has this been suggested already. Use search function, come on.

I disagree with this idea. This means you cannot create a surprise attack and will be bad for campers.

[R.A.C.O.O.N 0]

Why do you need minimap when you can see enemies without a problem thanks to the sizes of the map,plus TankiOnline is arcade style game,it's created to be simple not hardcore game,game is good as it is right now (of course i dont like everything but still) and things like map shouldnt be added in my opinion, it will only distract players and make games harder

Maps must be memorized

Maybe you can get the radar but its like pro pass you may certain about for it to stay there? Like - you pay 30,000 crystals and u get it onto your screen in the corner as well as its duration is 1 month :) I just saying 30,000 cause its a bit too big privilege so needs to be expensive :)

I don't think we should get crystals on this..

 

 

but any ways it would be good to see that I really would like that update in the game and it can just be a circle of a map it woud not have to take up the whole screen only a tiny little circle I would really really like that radar I'd like it please  -_-  :)

Most battles are too fast paced for this...

Hello Fellow Tankers!

 

I was wondering if you could have a radar or mini map on a corner of the screen while you are playing a match.

The reason I believe this should be a good idea is because when people come across a new map to them for example a new player comes across the map Berlin, they won't be able to work their way around the map because either a shaft would snipe them or they would get completely lost. Why not get a radar to help them know where the enemy is!

I think this would be a great idea because when you spawn on your side of the map you can't see the enemy's name so that would be a disadvantage for a player who had just started the game, they would get confused.

 

I think maybe a radar would be fine because it would show where the enemy would be and it would be a unique way of hunting down players and not have to go though that hard hunt of finding players. 

I think also there should be a specific sign of the gold box because sometimes it players would go on a paining hunt just to look for the gold box and it would be unfair if a mammoth would be on one side of the map and the gold box drops on the other side and would have to go or stay on one match and wait 15 minutes of another one to drop.

 

I'm not sure about a mini map maybe it would be a good idea because it would show you detail of where you are going. 

 

Maybe there should be a tank icon to show where the enemy players and the friendly players are. 

The friendly should be green.

The enemy should be red.

 

I hope this idea should really give you an image of what it would be like with this feature

 

Thanks,

lol like th csgo radar

It already exists. Just hold down ] or E and your screen will tilt up.

[kaisdf 3,320]

when the developers do come to look for new ideas

How often does this actually happen though...?

How often does this actually happen though...?

I don't know how often they actually read them, but I do know that at the moment they have so many features planned for future development that they simply don't have time to get more ideas from players.

With a quick glance over the completed topics, most of it seems like stuff that would've happened regardless of the I&S section...

That is true. Most of the good and sensible ideas players post are either already in development, planned, or at least have been discussed by developers at some point before.

[Coat 2,280]

Really great idea!

[TO_King 818]

Hiding a Radar/Minimap from Settings will be good Idea so in Small Maps i can Disable it from Settings to in view full screen

Radars?

 

Most modern tanks are equipped with radars to help them keep track of multiple enemies, Tanki is a fairly futuristic game, shouldn't we have radars in Tanki Online? Obviously, it would be shortly ranged (like the one in Halo), for balance reasons. This would hopefully replace the camera zoom change thingie (you know what I'm talking about, right?), as it is too cumbersome and unwieldy in battle, especially for newer players. It also just doesn't make much sense as a gameplay feature, I'm guessing it was originally implemented to act like a radar, but the devs didn't know how to make one. :D Now, hopefully, they do, and so could you please do it because it would improve the game a lot, and I would really appreciate it thanks.

Right now, the chat box is the only means of communicating with team members. As a result every player plans alone. Could we have a Common Team Maps that teams can use to plan their moves...? Hope this is a good suggestion.

 

It would be a good idea to provide a Voice Chat facility and even a '15 Seconds Planning Time' before the Game starts.

That way Team play would be more meaningful Please consider this.

 

Thanks.

I like this idea but the radar map MUST NOT SHOW YOUR ENEMIES' POSITIONS. 

 

A major way to balance out range differences between turrets is backstabbing. The longer-range the turret, the worse it usually fares in direct-combat and therefore the easier to backstab. This partially negates the advantage of range because the enemy can just sneak up behind you and make your range advantage useless, and this ensures that long-range turrets aren't always better than mid-range turrets, and that mid-range turrets aren't always better than short-range ones. But having a radar map show the position of your enemies would destroy this balance mechanism. 

 

Also stealth is nice and I would rather not have that nullified too by everyone knowing exactly where i am all the time

 

Also when they implement hull-specific overdrives. Hornet is supposed to get one that allows it to see all enemies on the map. But this would be pointless if you could do it anyways via radar map 24/7. 

 

However a radar map that shows your vicinity and DOESN'T show your enemies' positions would be nice so i dont keep crashing into stuff trying to retreat from something  :P

[NANOBOT77 22]

this would make the hornets upcoming OD useless
