What is your approach to playing the game now?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Man, I re-discovered Isida, all I need is nitro to keep up with team mates and heal everyone around.

I actively use camera controls mainly from a high point to view health bars of nearby team mates.

 

Easily end up in second place and quite a lot first aswell. My beloved Smoky has been nerfed down a little bit too much so I just use it for fun on Wasp. Shaft is still great though but Isida is the turret that brings me the most crystals, and the micro upgrades are just 8/20.

Yeah - Isida is great if you have team-mates will stay alive long enough to heal. If all are hornets/wasps I either switch turrets or find another battle.

 

Ever since I bought Ricco M3 I have rarely used my smoky, even though it is 12/20 now.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

My approach is to use supplies for the majority of every battle. :wacko:

 

If I don't use double armor then I will probably be 1-shot. It gets much worse in the battles involving legends.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Play one mission then quit for the day. That's 90% of it. All I am doing is keeping my mission chains alive. I hope to have over 3,000 of each supply by the end of the tripling. 

 

I've already "won" the gamne. I have the best possible turrets and hulls for my ranks. My modules are not fulled MUed but aside from that everything is maxed. So my only sense of accomplishment comes from seeing the Supplies supply grow. lol

Daily missions

[AbsoluteAlphaZero 2,027]

Full m4 Garage,
15 Full MU Modules.
Special Paints.

[TheBlackChick 319]

I'll just do my missions nice and fast and then keep playing CPs in small to medium maps (maybe even XP/BP but I still don't feel like playing that thing again)

 

Medium term goals (from the most important to the least important):

4 new modules

Firebird 15/20

2 alterations

2 new turrets

 

Goals :- Need to build up a nice crystal stash to buy myself 2 or 3 protection modules....needed asap.

I've been in your situation as well. Just keep saving for a sale and you should be fine...

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I use my winter paint with my m2 thunder and m2 viking most of the time because I get too lazy to change paints, and it just looks smokin awesome and it is useful too. The traits of a paint that I like. :)

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

I use isida hunter until osaka kit. I easily get top 4 ao my crystal count is going to be enough for osaka

[defiant_777 2]

Honestly, its getting really frustuating to play with druggers. so i play in pro battles, and i just HATE it that you cant complete missions in pro battles. current;y is use isida m2 and hornet m2

[Lightning78 285]

Preferred strategy for a formerly nice game ruined by bad updates and mindless drugging:

- Enter game once a day, complete 1 mission, claim one mission, exit the game

- Collect 14k crystals + tons of drugs once a week (enhanced mission chain rewards this summer)

;)

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Stopped running my Striker account last week.

 

Got my weekly missions reward for my Smoky/Shaft account. As of today I stop playing it.

 

With what remains I play 1 mission / day then quit. 

 

Stumbled across Realpolitiks yesterday. It isn't vehicle combat but it is amazingly deep. Civilization meets Axis and Allies meets Diplomacy!

 

Thanks to the summer tripled mission rewards I will have about 1,000RKs and 3,000 of the other supplies saved up. I can pop in to play Tanki for months or yeas w/o doing another mission., Because popping in will be about all I play after August and the "Magnificent Seven Overdrives" go live.

25 minutes and out.,

[TAKEYOUTOBURN 1]

I have another couple of accounts and I used to play in standard battles and pro battles...really play and have fun.  Now all I do is one Daily Mission and quit.  When the dread Matchmaking System starts I intend to give it a fair shot, but I'm expecting it to be a real drag and a Tanki-Killer.  I am prepared to let my mission chain stop and only play Tanki when I feel like it...not daily to keep up with missions.  Maybe letting go of the mission chains will bring back some of the fun (which is 95% gone now).

 

I did do something cool with this account though.  I started using it at the beginning of the 3X Super Summer Mission Bonus and duked it out with M0 equipment.  I ranked to level #13 yesterday and bought Osaka Kit with the crystals I saved from very few upgrades and the big mission chain bonuses.  So  now I know what it is like to be a buyer...awesome.  I have an M2 Isida MUed to 3 while most players have M1 or even M0 equipment. Previously, in other accounts, I just mooched along and upgraded whenever I could.

 

I will now try this strategy for M3 and hold all upgrades (yes my K/D is disastrous), get the hell beat out of me until I have enough for Taiga Kit the minute it become available and I have the rank (I'm getting close).

 

Or, if Matchmaking is as bad as I think it might be, I will only use this account with Osaka and log in occasionally, kill (or heal) a few tanks, then logout...I might even read a book or wax my car occasionally.

 

It is a shame, Tanki was my favorite game..it was perfect, but now it is on the edge of ruined with OverDrug, massive drugging, homogenization of all the hulls and turrets, the coming OD farce for hulls, and of course the straw that promises to truly break Tanki's back; Matchmaking. (If Hazel thinks it's great, you know it's gotta be just terrible).

At least stay on the forum if you leave the game.

First Ambitious left, now you

There's gonna be no one helpful left on this forum by 2018

Fair is fair. Today I had one very good close battle after another. I' am often critical of this game. But tonight it was one good tough game after another. Most games were very close. Some bigger wins sure but hard fighting not spawn killing. Some obviously good players doing some above average driving. Also: wodka.

 

^^^ If Matchmaking lets me click one button and find a good game w/o server-jumping then I will consider it a success. Tanki is fun when not imbalanced. blowout ... when it'd more than spawn - drug -shoot -die. Maybe this is what TO needs.

Forcing the winning team to lose

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I'm mostly a Poly CP NS player these days. I'm looking for other interesting game play since Poly can get repetitive. Still one of the most rewarding ways to play though.

 

Deck 9 games can be fun but you gotta find the right one.

 

Standard battles are right out - I suspect t I'll abandon these altogether once mission chain rewards revert to their paltry norm.

 

I tried spoiling wasp-fire battles, then tried joining them. Mixed results. There is some serious game exploitation going on there and rule bending teaming in DM battles. Not fun.

 

I miss the Rio CTF games

 

Any other suggestions?

[Randinu_the_cool 154]

I miss many maps now

 

Polygon,Rio,Noise,Sandbox,Monte Carlo,Madness (older version),Rift,Stadium,Gravity,Skyscrapers (some of my favourite maps)

 

There are some maps still there like Kungar,Silence,Serpehouv,Aleksandrovsk and some other maps nobody played in (only the other maps not the first 4)

We can still play with pro pass but nobody joins them anymore :(

[Crimson_Tank 285]

I'm probably gonna quite the forum as well as Tanki. I hardly use my account anymore. Saving up is just a drag. Like in other games, things are expensive, but players get better income. I liked this game at first but it's really boring. And when a game becomes boring, then that's when the game has no hope. Too much of a drag to play. Anybody else agree or disagree?

I agree on the game part, I'll probably go inactive in-game after August ends, but I'll stay on the forum.

Same as always; Cautious enthusiasm!

[Musa 5,352]

I don't play...

[Potdindy 866]

How would you say it is unbalanced. I've been testing a lot of turrets since Im relatively new and some haven't stuck, but others seem to use a variety of hulls and turrets. The only thing that seems bad is how powerful supplies are. I've gotten frustrated several times by people who just wont let their tank die. If these "drugs" were less powerful, I cant say theres anything I dont think is awesome with this game. Oh, and no one speaks English so I have no friends either
