20 Things You Probably Don't Know about Tanki

[Ninja 10,468]

Hello again,

...and welcome, Tankers, to my second article! My first article which you can find HERE was well received, so thank you to everyone who read and enjoyed it. This time I will be telling you things you probably don't know about Tanki Online. All these are to the best of my knowledge and I'm pretty sure there's gonna be mistakes, do point them out if you spot any.

1: Isida used to be able to heal itself by firing into the void. This feature was removed after just two weeks when developers realised it made the turret too powerful.

2: Before September 2009, your nickname wouldn't appear in the notifications if you had captured, taken or lost a flag.

3: After December 3rd, 2009, when a tanker would spawn they would remain in phantom until they moved. This was later removed.

4: The Mine supply was added on February 10th, 2010.

5: On the same day (February 10th, 2010) the anti-profanity chat system knew 1.3M Russian words, since then no statistics surrounding the system have been released.

6: Thunder's sound used to be 30% louder! Twins also used to be 20% louder.

7: Hulls used to be weightless even in non-parkour battles.

8: On August 11th, 2012, CTF mode in Massacre was disabled due to some bugs.

9: Before April, 21, 2011, if the enemy flag was under a bridge and you were on the bridge, you could take it.

10: In 2013's 'THE GAME' a temporary paint was offered as a prize, the paint had 15% protection against all turrets and exactly 9636 tankers received it.

11: During the Euro 2016 celebrations, it was estimated that if Germany won, TO would give away well over a quarter of a billion crystals! (313M to be precise. Also, they didn't win... <_<)

12: Before the last rebalance update, Ricochet could be used to climb vertically up cliffs.

13: Before the 17th of December 2012, the highest rank in the game was Marshal.

14: The weight statistic for hulls is disabled in parkour format battles.

15: Open beta testing Tanki Online started in June 2009.

16: When Railgun was first released (then named 'Fear Machine'), the M0 modification dealt 100 HP damage per shot, which is more than double the current M0 level of damage.

17: Monte Carlo was originally meant to be a race circuit in the game; the idea was abandoned but the map remained.

18: The 5 millionth user signed up to Tanki Online on October 14th, 2011 - just a month later, another million users signed up. Currently there are over 35M accounts signed up. Thanks to '' for this one.


19: The first ever discount in Tanki Online was on Tankers' Day in September 2010.

20: The first ever English V-LOG came out on June 6th, 2013 - its host was Semyon Kirov.

That is all,

See YOU in battle! Edited August 15, 2016 by Ninja

Lemme think...ehm..no

Yes it's just as it sounds like, Isida could recover health by firing at the nothingness that surround every map, like Monte Carlo for example.
