Loved the ending line!


MY TANKI STORY

I joined Tanki in mid-2014 (April or May). I was a regular XAT chat-a-lot back then, playing among Club Penguin armies, when my friend Jayden1092 introduced me to Tanki Online. I started my account @LordZenith and played my first battle at Fort Knox, and kept playing on it and Boombox, trying out all the gear that kept getting unlocked. I only played CTF and DM, but I preferred DM because I had no idea how to capture flags! Every time I used to take the enemy flag, and run to our base I would get killed so I got very frustrated with this game mode. Soon, I started playing quite well with Firebird and Hunter, and even had a duel on Short Bridge with Jayden1092. After that I played on Serpuhov for the first time with him and two other friends, Bezzta and Mr.Fix. However all three of them are now long gone from Tanki. Meanwhile, I ranked to Sergeant, and was trying out new maps like Iran, Cross, Bobruisk, Esplanade, and Camp.

However, I soon lost touch. I forgot about Tanki Online and carried on with life.

A few months later, I came back. I had forgotten the old account's password and instead created a new account to start afresh. The name I put for it - . Being familiar with the game somewhat, the earlier ranks were a breeze. A kind of milestone I would like to specify would be when I learnt to turn my turret for the first time, at Master Corporal. Also around the same time I captured my first flag ever. Gameplay felt improved. I still had not realized the use of supplies yet though. This time I tried a few more maps like Berlin, Highland, Bridges, Combe, Future, Kungur and Novel. By the time I reached First Sergeant, I got to know about what "M1" meant. Having a small amount of crystals at that time, I bought only Titan M1, my first. Along with that, I met two of my best friends on Tanki, @Flappy1233(his account got hacked though :( ) and @PhoenixTheInsane, although I had met both of them on XAT before. The ranks went by very slowly, as I didn't play for lots of hours. Soon, two huge updates came in - smart cooldowns and removal of crystal boxes. It was quite a hit for me in the beginning, being a regular at catching lots of crystal boxes (specially the 100s that were there for a few days as an experiment).

By Warrant Officer 1, I had collected enough for Wasp M1. I immediately bought it full price, not anticipating the huge bonus I was going to be graced by. I had started to post more and more in the forum and I came across a contest by All Kind clan for their clan logo, with 50,000 crystals as a prize for the winner. I was tempted, I immediately opened my Photoshop and got to work. I wasn't confident about winning but dream turned into reality, and I become the owner of the mighty sum (yes, I hadn't saved up to even 15,000 ever). I was feeling like buying everything in the garage that I could, but this time I waited and the Christmas 2014 sale came. 50% off everything meant I was happy, and I was indeed after buying my Smoky M1, Ricochet M1, Shaft M1, and Hornet M1! 4 new M1s was a huge bonus and I soon felt formidable on the battlefield. I ranked to WO2 soon, and bought Viking M1 full price. Around this particular period of time, Rio and Alexandrovsk became my favourite maps, and I played only those. By WO4, I had started using supplies occasionally and also bought Freeze M1 full price.

WO5 was a major turning point of my career till now, I learnt several skills, and also found out the password of my long lost account @LordZenith. I decided to dedicate that account for Railgun, Isida and Firebird and made another one @ZenithStorm for Thunder, Twins, Hammer and Vulcan. This meant I had equal practice and skill with all turrets and was enjoying Tanki more than ever. After saving a lot, and finally reaching 60k, I bought Freeze M2 in the 2015 Tankers Day sale. Now I also started to frequent Noise CTF and Polygon CP for high funds with my Freeze, and have since been saving for Atlas kit, and now at Second Lieutenant, I find myself closing in to the 186k target everyday.
