What are the things you fear most when joining a battle?


 Share

Recommended Posts

I fear the period when I am looking for a decent battle join. My fear is i will not find one with an open slot. Once I am in battle my fear is it will turn out to be a blowout. (Unless I am on an "earn Cry" or "Finish 1st" mission. Then blowouts are good.)

 

 

Have you seen hammer in Tanki-X now that they've tried to make it more "realistic" with 'weak' armour in the rear?

 

Hornet hammers running around one-shotting everything except heavys. Whole teams of them.

 

It is laughable. Everyone hugging a wall/building so they won't get caught from behind and wrecked.

LOL. In a game tanks can drive off three story roofs without harm, in which vehicles can literally steer and turn while sailing through thin air, in which balls of plasma bounce off walls and home in on enemies - in this environment they decide to introduce one real-world aspect of tank design.

We had 6 en servers that were never used and 20 russian servers that could easily just be deleted, but tanki decides to cut back on servers by forcing everyone into the same language.

 

Also have i mentioned russians?

Entering a battle on the winning team, then the winning team becomes so sure of the outcome, they become complacent and starts playing TDM (even though it's not a TDM battle) and the winning team loses because of it.

Druggers, druggers everywhere

And I'm just cannon fodder. 

Give me a tank to kill them all

And I'll be the Great Marauder.

What I fear the most is. A noob team, because no matter how OP the enemy is, if you have a good team you can at least cap a flag and defend well or control the point in CP.

I just ran into one in Kunger. I was looking for an easy score just to even out my xp. We were up 5-0 when I entered. Then soon it's like half the team is multing and the top scorer is a bumbling, stumbling Viking/Shaft bumping into all his own teammates, and especially our flag carrier numerous times, preventing us from capping. Next thing I know it was 6-3 and the tempo picked up and no one was defending. Red side was drugging, and so was I. And no one else on Blue.... The game ended 6-6.

 

This is what makes me hate this game - lack of communication, coordination and lopsided drugging at this level.

Druggers.

 

Just kidding. Drugs are part of the game so people should get used to it and learn to use their own.

 

The thing I hate the most is during Capture the Flag when my entire team is going for the opposing flag and I'm the only one on defense and like 4 players from the opposing team start coming at me. Most cases I don't survive in a 4v1 so when that's the case my team loses.

 

Other thing is when there is no isida on my team but there are 2 on the other team so they are harder to destroy but we drop like flies.

Sounds to me like the top scorer had a mission "1st in battle" and he was trying to defend that position by preventing caps and preventing killing shots of his team mates. I believe that's called "sabotage" which is a reportable violation, providing you have the footage to prove it. 

 

Logically speaking, if Blue wasn't drugging at all, then they shouldn't have made any more than 1 or 2 caps. But when Blue started playing like a team and attacked enforce, Red perceived them as a threat, became all unhinged and disorganized.

 

As for the mults, IMO, they were team mates that felt their win was a shoe-in and just quit playing.

There was someone on Skype orchestrating the whole thing, which I have wondered about many times.

Today I saw a 150 point polygon game, with supplies on.

Score was 90 : 20 in favour of blue team.

 

Their top player had premium account and a clan name next to his name.

I joined in his side, expecting to "free-ride" on his drugs. He was obviously a buyer.

 

http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/iPhone_apple/

 

22k+ supplies used in less than 70 hours in the game.

Thats makes around 80 supplies per 15 minute game - this is abnormally high even from the standards of legend 60.

At 2nd Lt. he doesn't even need that many drugs, considering his equipment.

 

He had a shop paint on, full MUd smoky 1 (so m2) and dictator m2, at second Lt. + a good m2 module (he has a good variety of them too).

 

So he single handedly carried his team to 120 : 10 in no time. I could only manage a score of 100 during this time (without using a single supply), his was more than 2000.

 

There were blue mines everywhere, it looked like polygon floor had (blue) chicken pox.

He has almost 8k used in total.

 

Red team was beginning to leave.

 

And then..... at 120 : 10 in favour of blue team..... this guy switched sides..

 

Score was 40 : 60 in favour of red in no time. Players in blue team realized their main player had switched sides, and started leaving.

I left too. What could I do.. I would run out of all my supplies, but still not match him.

 

Then I went to play another battle and returned after 15 minutes to the lobby.

 

I saw there was a vacant spot in his team (red), so I joined. Score was 110 : 90 in favour of red.

 

New players who had joined blue team were big druggers and kit buyers too. They were ably led by a mammoth isida (no jokes, he was really good with his drugs and all). There were 3 more isidas in their team.

 

We (red team) could have still won easily.

But I was angry with this guy for switching teams. So I decided to mult.

 

There is a kind of balcony behind the blue flag in polygon. This was an excellent time to appreciate the beautiful green hills that surround the map.

 

fought drugged hard, but 7 vs 8 proved too much for his (infinite) supplies, and in the end blue team won 150 : 130, and this guy lost.

 

Very satisfying indeed. If you can't beat these kind of people by playing against them, then beat them by playing in their team.

 

Lesson learned though: do not enter supply - enabled long battles because even if team is winning 90 : 0 in a 100 point game, anything can happen.

So you basically admit to have sabotaged someone you dislike? You represented one of those things I fear most when entering a battle: mults.

Looks like you think drugging and switching sides is really bad...Good thing that he wasn't smart enough to record and report you. I think that's what mults fear the most: people recording.

i don't fear getting ban, because i can simply start again.

As a non-buyer Asida/Hornet, many things.

 

Will I be able to even get out of our base to help my team?

 

Are they suicide players without any knowledge of how to play peek-a-boo and shoot? (sit in the wide open spaces while their weapon is reloading, for example, when they could easily hid for a second or two). I have better things to do than to try to keep these types of players alive and then die in the process.

 

While I follow my team mates into battle will I live long enough to be an asset?

 

The life of an Asida can be very nerve wracking.
