A more detailed Q&A topic has been posted on the RU forum by developer @AP_Wolfwood, so the following is a translated version of it:

 

Most commonly asked questions and problems:

 

• There is no information about the module micro-upgrades.

Updating the Wiki and other sources is a lengthy process. It will all be available soon on this page.

 

• The R key is in an inconvenient location (Suggested alternatives: L, C)
• The R key needs to be held down constantly to be able to read the info. Make an on/off switch for it (the only way to do it right now is by using the Alt trick)

At the moment it's unknown what changes will be made to the interface, but as soon as final decisions will be made, we'll be sure to publish it.

 

• Impossible to see which module you currently have equipped

Will be fixed in an upcoming update

 

• Long range shooters can't see what protection their targets have

This is now a feature of the long range weapons. You could argue that before it was possible to determine the protection from the paint, but that also wasn't effective at large distances. Either way, a fix is not planned at the moment.

 

• Too much information on screen when a lot of tanks are in one area

The interface will be improved in upcoming updates, although there is no certain information about this particular issue. It will be published as soon as decisions have been made.

 

• The modules have nearly identical names, such as Kodiak T-A and Kodiak T-B have a one-letter difference and 2 completely different sets of protections.

At the moment there is no alternative naming system. This variation was chosen to avoid having 200 individual names to remember. If we see any better alternatives suggested by players - we will take them into consideration.

 

• Will the modules be shown in our profiles?
• Why did the paints disappear from profiles?

This is a known bug which we are working to resolve. The paints will be back in profiles and we might add modules there as well. There is a general aim to add more useful and interesting information to the profiles, so future updates are likely.

 

• Will there be a module with Smoky, Railgun and Thunder protection?
• Will there be personal discounts on modules?
• Will there be a sale on all remaining modules after I buy a few of them?

New modules will be gradually added to the garage. And yes, we will even add certain new modules if a lot of players request the same combination. Personal and wholesale discounts do not apply to modules at the moment and are not planned. We first need to see how the update affects the game's economy before making further changes.

 

• Why can't Wasp M3 use 10% protection in XP/BP battles?

Wasp was never meant to have the protection, the only reason it had an option to use the 10% was because of a misunderstanding when the format rules were made. It wasn't right, since it gave Wasp an advantage over Hornet in all other aspects, making Hornet obsolete in format battles. Now that Wasp doesn't have protection, it acts as a nerf to its superior speed and maneuverability and adds more reason to use Hornet instead.

 

There are also some great news for amateur players - there is no longer a need to purchase a 10% or 20% protection module to participate in format battles. If you have Wasp M2 or Hornet M2, you will automatically be given 10 or 20% protection respectively even if you currently have no Railgun modules purchased in your garage, or if the module you have equipped has more than the required protection. The game adjusts the protection for you!

 

• Thy is there a need to show the tank's modification using yellow bars? Every player at middle ranks and above is able to tell the modifications apart by the tank's design, so why the unnecessary information?

The information is useful for beginners, so this aspect of the update is aimed at them.

 

• What do the LGC, T-A, T-B, T-C, T-J and other acronyms on modules mean?

LGC means Legacy. After that there is a number. This is needed to avoid having two identical items in the garage, so for example after the update there is a paint called Forester and a module called Forester LGC-1

 

T-A, T-B, T-C - those are markings of new modules. It's composite: the first letter tells the number of protections in the module (Single, Double, Triple) and the second letter is made to differentiate between the modules in the same set by giving them an alphabetical order. They can be referred to as the modules' serial numbers.

 

The names of the modules define the module type. All Ocelot modules are for close-range combat. All Eagle modules are for long range. The rest of the modules are named according to a similar principle. The full information will be published later.

Part 2 explains all the features you disliked.

To: the TO Developers

 

Sorry to say, but I think this update is a mistake, not only for the reasons already mentioned but also because of the STANDARDIZATION of PAINTS.

 

My main point is this: Before the update, it required much more knowledge of the game to know whether an opponent has protection against your turret. You would have to STUDY the paints in the garage! However, now the information is simply provided for you, making the game much more boring. Before, those who paid attention to the details of the game could distinguish themselves on the battlefield.

 

Also, the protection %'s are so standardized now that there is no room for creativity, like choosing to get 48% protection against Railgun. Every tanker must now get 10, 15, 25, or 35% protections. where is the fun in that?

 

Finally, this update was the most UNFAIR update that Tanki has ever made!

 

Players who had bought paints like Prodigi now have it's legendary protection forever, while those who were unfortunate enough to not be able to buy Prodigi before the update can never access it's legendary 4 protections!

 

Bottom line is: I think that previous protections, like that of Prodigi, should still be available now.

 

P.S. - - The prices are terrible now! - - paints that offer no protection now cost up to 500, 000 - - that's INSANE!!!!!!!

Where is the Protection Module from Moonwalker?

[FireHornet_Original 29]

The update was a sucker-punch to many.

 

1st- because all paints and their protections costed a number of crystals. Now paints are only an ornament, at least give them REALLY cheap.

 

2nd- Each player knew what was buying with each paint and its protection.

 Now you divided all these into modules (more money income, right?) That doesn't benefits any player, nessesarly.

 

3rd.- Each paint micro-upgrading could be done SEPARATEDLY, that was cool. Why the developers came with the idea of upgrading each protection in a package each time? I have no clue.

 

4th - A game which is working right, doesn't need any updates.

5th - Take care of lags. Each time I am in a battle and someone joins it, the battle freezes for 2 seconds  at my end!! This is really annoying. And I am sure I am not the only one suffering this.

 

6th - Programmers need to be much more responsible with bugs in system. Since there's a server update everyday, instead of doing it for 8 mins. take longer, lets say 30 mins. to verify the system and get rid of any bug thread.

 

7th - Before thinking in  doing any updates....Take players into consideration doing a poll!!!  You depend on customer satisfaction to keep them playing (buying), right??? It's only fair!

well, i dont see that they show the micro-upgrades.... + there are no golden lines like that too

It does.

 

Truth!

 

True, I planned to buy cherry but it ruined my plans :( 

Yes,very good update. 

 

 

No it's not.

 

So developers told us that TO Flash will exist besides Tanki X, but if what you're saying is true (and why would you lie), they're trying to let TO Flash die. Nice going.

True.

 

The community behind both is the same.

Yes, You're right

 

But... but... Tanki X is not TO 

It is.

 

I played Tanki X once, it's just terrible, everything is over done, to play on high graphics you need a pc that is at least twice as powerful. By killing the flash TO, the developers will also be killing the entire TO.

True.

 

Now, this is the mess in the garage.

Yes, I agree with you in 100%. This is so annoying ! 

 

Veteran 10% ? Very funny

Tanki has just ruined the whole point in special paints...

[r_schoot1230 0]

I am Schoot123 from german community and we are just as outraged about the update as you

[Shellfire_tanki 1,820]

I really think that the modules which have the same combinations of protections, e.g. firebird, freeze, smoky(zeus) should ahve the same names as the old paints that had those combinations, because I literally have noclue how these names work, they're just randomnames of animals with some letters and numbers afterwards, at least the old paints had names(which I have now rememembered most of) so people can actually have some clue of what protection it has justby the name.

[AverageDavelaar 89]

Jesus CHRIST tanki...worst update ever since the removal of crystal boxes it was very valuable to Low and Mid rankers will have a rough time budgeting crystals,just because a stupid reason "Mults". I belive when you take a brake from V-logs you just go and collect money and make people leave Tanki online so we can go to Tanki-X.We awfully put alot of time into this game dont we? now improvments i want to see in the next update
A:Bring back crystal boxes.

B:Fix the freaking lag in the servers.

C:Remove the Protective Module Update or atleast rework it.

D:Reduce the prices of the paints.

E:Bring back Premium paint protection (It's useless now)

 

 

 

NOTE:If none of these suggestions are implemented in the game i will leave tanki for good and play other games.

[delnina2 1,570]

Every Day Amazing Updated by Tanki.  Every One Is Happy With New Update. Like Russian Garman and Barzagli.only The Prob Alway Has With En Community , They Are Just Want To Be Stay In 2009 Which Is Impossible  For Every Game Developer Not Only Tanki, 

You're worng. The russain topic has 191 Pages and only ! 38 likes to the topic's post.  The German also dones't like it. 

 

Please persent reliable information !

Really so, there won't be 10% protection for wasp anymore??

hahahahah sorry this is too funny

[delnina2 1,570]

hahahahah sorry this is too funny

Nothing funny here, the idea of Bp is ruined now. I'm a Bp player and this is noob now.

Edited July 15, 2016 by delnina2

[Fuel 1,877]

Oh.

 

I might be leaving BP  too, XP forever then.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Oh.

 

I might be leaving BP  too, XP forever then.

And why is that?

[delnina2 1,570]

If they didn't add back the 10% protection for wasp back then....

According to Mafioso's answer I don't think they will. For some reason I have the feeling that tanki doesn't like Bp players :S ...

Edited July 15, 2016 by delnina2

[delnina2 1,570]

And why is that?

The real answer is that tanki doesn't care from us.

[Fuel 1,877]

And why is that?

Wasps might not get 10/20% protection in xp/bp attles.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

#RipDevelopers

Are you aware of what you just wrote?

[delnina2 1,570]

XP is one shot too -_-

Really ? Omg -_- I can't belive... 

[Fuel 1,877]

XP is one shot too -_-

NOO!

[Fuel 1,877]

If xp gets 1 shot, oops time to move on then.

 

I am a xp/bp player. See my profile if u think i am lying :(

[Maf 32,300]

Really so, there won't be 10% protection for wasp anymore??

Correct. And Wasp M2 will have 10% instead of 20%.

[delnina2 1,570]

Correct. And Wasp M2 now needs only 10% to participate, but can't use 20%.

R.I.P Tanki.
