Let's Discuss Paints

Can you get Traceur from containers?

No.

 

Now that paints don't give protection they are too costly for what they offer (And even then I bet their protection wasn't even worth it). Sorry if this post is short or overdone; But Corrosion just looks so cool.

Post moved.

I'm strongly against Moonwalker being available in containers honestly.

I bought it back in 2013 after grinding for the 3,000 crystals.

Moonwalker being available for anybody despite being sold years ago as a memorabilia is pretty devaluing of the paint.

I really like paints. They're fun to have.

In fact, one of my goals in Tanki is to collect as many paints as I can.

 

I already have 2 of my dream Garage paints: Electra (I bought it during Tanki's 10th Birthday sale, and it's already my second most used paint), and Nano (I got it from a Container). There are some I don't have yet, like Prodigi, Disco, Pixel, Atom, Emerald (finally got it from a cont), Alien, and Hohloma.

 

As for Container-exclusive paints, a lot of them are pretty similar (Pop Art and Retina are the first that come to mind), but Lotus and Condensed Milk are cool and some of my other dream paints.

 

Some animated paints are cool, and I personally really want Spectrum, LEDs, Lava Lamp, Galaxian Explosion, Monochrome, and Northern Lights.

Probably a paint that was announced too early, like when they mistakenly said Not A Lantern would be the paint included in the 2019 Summer Sale's Shop bundle, but the paint was actually Radar.

and shocked to see there are 15 more to get soon

IS TANKI RACIST AGAINST AMERICANS? Tanki does not have an American Flag paint. The only reason this could be is they bought into the leftist anti-american crap in Europe and Russia.

 

PLEASE PUT AN AMERICAN paint in the match

Isn't this the flag paint?

" This is a fan's paint. " = it doesnt exist any longer.

what, you wanted an actual flag paint? there's nothing in the wiki that suggests this.

Someone had asked a moderator this in the chat the other day. I can't remember what they said but it was something along the lines of "It was in the game at some point, but not anymore".

So this isn't official? If something was removed from the game, I would assume that the devs would at least mention it.

It seems that this paint was a part of a 2014 event. The country paints that you obtain from Containers were the countries that made it into the 2018 World Cup. Thus, USA is not there. Please try to think of why something may not be before jumping to such conclusions in the future.

There are no country paints in the game aside of the ones for football frenzy events. https://en.tankiwiki.com/Football_Frenzy

You can now buy the United States paint in the Garage for 10 Tankoins, as well as any other flag paints. They can only be bought in the HTML5 and Mobile versions of the game.

It makes sense that Holiday and Premium paint are at the front. It also makes sense Can't Stop, Tanks 1.0, and Yin & Yang are there, because they are tied with an event and can't be obtained anymore. It's weird how Ancient Dragon is there, it's as rare as any other Container-only, non-animated paint. Why is it at the front of the list?

Not reporting it as a bug or anything, just curious.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I would also put Tarantula and Breeze at the front too, because those are also event paints.

There should be more paints representing more countries in the world.

Only if they don't go into containers.  I already have enough useless stuff in my garage.  Don't need any more junk.

Wish devs would stop putting paints like prodigy and needle into challenges. Makes those paints loose the value left in them. I think they might add something like Irbris or Inferno next. Earlier paints like Zeus, Clay, Picasso, Inferno, etc were rare and tankers with those kinda paints used to scare off other tanks ( but then again those paints had high protections : P )

I just realized these paints are not available in Containers, even though they were featured in a Challenge.

I wonder why they haven't been added?

Darts, battleships and the rest of those paints were ones available in challenges right? If so they could only be available through containers I think. But last challenge strawberry paint I got a few years ago from a cont, so I’m not sure.

Strawberry used to be available in the Shop for money and then Tankoins and then it got moved to the Garage for Tankoins. It's always been available in Containers.

Normally, paints that were put in Challenges get added to Containers once the Challenge is over, but paints like Darts, Battleship, and all the others in my list were never put in Containers, at least according to the list of possible rewards in HTML5.
