How can we play with Tanki now, using Crisis drone? It's impossible to play because we don't have enough drugs.

Even purchasing the battle pass and doing all the daily missions, the drugs are not enough, even playing as a camper, trieing to save drugs. Well now again, how to play? No repair kit, no armor, no damage and no crystals to buy more drugs.

Even paying daily tankoins, it wasn't enough. The game is not sustainable, are you harming the players who play the most? Anyone who enters for 15 minutes and leaves is fine, but for those who do all the daily missions and complete the pass a long time ago... What can we do, we no longer have the means to play... Just get int a battle, die, die, die? Boring.

And don't tell me that this drone is not supposed to be sustainable, in my case, I had a level 20 drone, you removed it and didn't pay me even half of what I spent on it, what was left was Crisis with some updates, if not... I would be forced to get a drone from level 0 again?...

Simply the way it is now, it is unsustainable. Even spending 5000 tankoins, I didn't get enought drugs all days.

I mean Crisis is called well... Crisis. For a reason. It is not intended to make you rich or it would be called "Richness" or something. Personally I have max garage and complete all daily missions just like you sometimes i buy tankoins pass and very rarely challenge pass. I get more than enough drugs. Obviously if I didn't buy them with crystals I would eventually run out of drugs because drugs I get only from conts is not enough. I'd say im not the "saving drugs" type of player with Crisis. I go onto offensive just as much as camping I mean i've been playing with Uranium Striker for the past 10 days maybe so I literally can't camp. I learned to avoid switching to armor unless absolutely needed (as you can see from my absurd damage vs armour supply usage difference in my profile) I am the "Kill them before they kill you" player in this game and personally it works. I use speed only to get to places fast so usually once or twice per spawn spawning. I sacrifice repair kit instead of using armour most of the time and rarely use mines randomly. But nobody cares about mines. Try to copy my supply usage and you should be safe.

krokorok · December 14, 2023

Crisis is still considered an exotic drone despite the fact it has been distributed quite widely through Tanki Funds. It is meant for endgame players, in other words people who already have maxed garages through years and years of playing regularly and have nothing else to sink their crystals in, or for buyers. In any case, these two groups are usually the only people who can somewhat afford using Crisis.

If it is not profitable, you either:

a) switch too much between drugs unneccessarily, making your drug count drop too fast

b) you play too much - other than playing for missions, it isnt smart profitwise to play for extended periods of time as you will be spending too much compared to how much you gain

c) you are not endgame player, and you still spend resources on stuff like turrets, protections, hulls, that would be otherwise used on running the Crisis

The best advice anyone can give you is to either switch on less demanding drones, like Brutus or Hyperion (personally I only use Hyperion), dont play too much, especially not during work days, focus your playtime mostly on double battle funds, play a lot during special festive modes that are drones and supplies free, and possibly play more PRO battles without supplies and drones.

AzaborBR · December 14, 2023

That's about it, you are harmed if in 1 day, you play more than enough to complete the daily missions... Does it harm those who spend more time playing?

Today I'm no longer upgrading equipment, I'm often playing with Dictator, rail, thunder, striker, etc... 1 or 2 that I use are not at level 20.

All the crystals I earn in battle or boxes, I use to buy drugs and they are not enough.

Logically, changing drones would be obvious, but it's like I mentioned... They removed my full level 20 drone and didn't even pay half of what I spent, I wouldn't even be able to get to a decent level if I start to upgrad a level 0 drone, so I finished Crisis (and it didn't even give me the crystals I won).

Quer dizer, Crise é bem chamada... Crise. Por uma razão. Não se destina a torná-lo rico ou seria chamado de “Riqueza” ou algo assim. Pessoalmente tenho garagem máxima e completo todas as missões diárias assim como você, às vezes compro passe de tankoins e muito raramente passe de desafio. Recebo drogas mais que suficientes. Obviamente, se eu não os comprasse com cristais, acabaria por ficar sem drogas, porque as drogas que consigo apenas com comprimidos não são suficientes. Eu diria que não sou o tipo de jogador que “salva drogas” no Crisis. Eu vou para a ofensiva tanto quanto para acampar, quero dizer, tenho jogado com Uranium Striker nos últimos 10 dias, talvez então literalmente não posso acampar. Aprendi a evitar mudar para armadura, a menos que seja absolutamente necessário (como você pode ver pela minha diferença absurda de dano versus uso de fornecimento de armadura em meu perfil). Eu sou o jogador "Mate-os antes que eles matem você" neste jogo e pessoalmente funciona. Eu uso a velocidade apenas para chegar aos lugares rapidamente, geralmente uma ou duas vezes por desova. Eu sacrifico o kit de reparo em vez de usar armadura na maioria das vezes e raramente uso minas aleatoriamente. Mas ninguém se importa com minas. Tente copiar meu uso de suprimentos e você estará seguro.

How long do you play per day? It is impossible to play, do all the missions and complete the pass and still have drugs using Constant Crisis. Unless you have a large amount of crystals left or earned a lot by opening a box

Doing all dalies and playing 1-2 hours per day on the weekends. It's been maybe a month since i used non-crisis drone lol

Yes I do have 2.5 million (after spending millions on lolipops) but last time i bought supplies was in summer and my supplies are over 100k

yet another place where i can use this gem

wild001 · December 14, 2023

I use criss only with shaft heal/scorpion tonordo at camping o heavy hull, that way,

You only use 12x 3 = 36 boost damage per battle if you dont die on large map. Cheaper than any drone except brutus.

Criss is ok on camp style, if you play aggressive and catch the flag, you will be keep switch and keep dying if you dont switch fast enough.

Criss is best on burst turret augment, like hammer tripod shot, rico helios, or shaft tripod shot or large damage gun like shaft, magnum, scorpion, guass, rail.

For normal cheap play, i use defender, for attack, i use hyperion, for daily mission and other, i use brutus, as play with any drone no stop will keep thousands of supply,

--- i have 80000+ mines and i dont use sabortuor, because they kill you too often with new augments, I wait for miner drone rrturn

yuvraj007 · December 14, 2023

Every drone is unsustainable except for brutus.

Even if you complete all daily/weekly/special missions/challenges, you're still at around 40% loss in crystals ROI, and you'll always lack supplies, even if you get top 3 in all battles.

There are only 2 ways to sustain your supplies, use brutus or buy premium pass.

at the current +x number of supply used for drones besides brutus, do you think it's sustainable for a F2P player with the number of supplies from the showcase and daily/weekly missions to use the drone? how often do you find yourself buying supplies from the garage?

I know that Tanki is a cartoony game but the drones are a weird choice imo to show the boosted abilities. It looks kinda dumb how they float above the tanks. and they have carefully made designs but are too small for it to be noticed in the gameplay. They also give away your position when you take cover.

It would be much better if the drones' abilities were just called upgrades to the tanks, and if you make your tank faster its shown by it getting a bigger engine on the tank model, which makes a more fun change to the tank's appearance and is more easy to see in the gameplay. If you boost the armor it changes the tank's appearance in another way, and so on.

FrozenRailgun · February 20, 2024

I'm on the fence, I think drones should be a bonus to your gameplay, but not some kinds of mandatory upgrades for you to compete (and changes your tanks' appearance).

I still remember when Brutus gave 10% global damage boost and 10% damage reduction multiplicatively.

I despise Alternativa's decision of nerfing manual supplies' potency (to regain what was lost, you need to use drones (wth) ).

I mean... it is not the worst thing to have come to this game. Brutus only costs 50K to max out during sales, so getting maxed supplies ain't that much of an effort as opposed to few years back when double speed-up costs were also a thing. Other drones are now marginally cheaper too: for 500K you can already have a strong and versatile drone of your choice (depending which of course). I don't know how much effort it is to collect that amount of crystals on a low account, but my alt was able to collect enough crystals for a maxed Crisis drone, and I could technically get a new one whenever I please... But yeah, I agree that it was not an urgent call to change the supply boosts.

Also, long time no see. Nice to see some familiar faces on the forum these days.

But back to this... I think drones are fine as they are now. Sure they do look a bit goofy at times, and the differences in design are not always visible from a distance. But I don't really mind it that much.

But I like your idea of replacing drones with visual changes to ones turret or hull. If executed correctly, it could look stunning and intimidating. But then you will have to design such additions for various skins, I assume. So I guess, it is not gonna happen.

I disagree. A good player can discern what drone a player uses by seeing its shape from afar ( or through a shaft scope), and this is useful intel. Changing the tank's appearance would mean changing hitboxes for each variation, and that would be much , much more work.

If you see them enough times, you can instantly identify these drones to be hyperion and saboteur. It also indicates that a player is hiding at that location

Hello,

i have the Booster Drone at Lv. 5 and the Saboteur Drone at Lv.5 im unsure which is better at higher ranks. I play usually with heavy hulls and magnum. I would prefer Saboteur but im not sure if mines are effektive against high ranks.

Should i instead level up Booster? Double Damage is always good.

krokorok · July 1, 2024

Dont see many Boosters these days after the nerf it received. Saboteur is okay if you plan to sit in your base for 12 minutes, its also much better with Miner augment.Also mines have been indirectly nerfed as certain overdrives clean them now completely in certain radius. Majority of people probably use Defender and Hyperion these days. Saboteur is mained mostly by hypercampers, Crisis appears here and there, but it aint so prominent after the nerf. Engineer is also quite rare.

Edited July 1, 2024 by krokorok

Hm, okay probably go then for saboteur, i got miner as my very first epic augment and i like sitting in base mostly.

This question depends on your rank and how many prots you have maxed out. Basically how strong is your garage for the rank you are at.

If you are a newbie Legend then sab is gonna be useless depending on the above criteria.

There are many counters to sab now, ranging from the legal hack paladin with it's overdrive to the miner prot module and mammoth's overdrive, as well as wasp's bomb, line of sight.

A maxed out Legend camping with sab on a favoured map has their work cut out encountering all of these counters to it's drone, so unless your prots and favoured combo are maxed out, upgrading sab (which will cost you a fortune in cry) is not worth it.

You have to consider multiple factors when upgrading in this game because of the complexity of it and the numerous Op augments that have ruined it, also the drain on your cry supply to.

My advice, whichever drone you go for, concentrate on that and no other drone, as it will deplete you cry at an alarming rate.

wild001 · August 1, 2024

Hyperion, the fast repair kit reload is worth it when go solo, and you use 3 supply instantly, no reload.

If you booster, defender, trickster, you need to use jam immu, leaving other lifeguard or blaster hull augment out.

So unless you camp with booster or need to rush flag w trickster, then hyperion is better in long end.

I have all drone maxed anyway.
