Nuclear Sign in Battles

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

My speculation is that they replaced a Repair Kit with a never-drop dummy supply to increase carnage during the War

....

Also, it is likely that some placeholder has to be there for the game not to crash, including the box (if it's in their load logic).

idk but this is something what devs would do

 

instead of removing supplies make a fake one

[Sergeant808 81]

a) no box falls on them even tho war started 

B) they dont take up repair spots in some maps such as Yorkshire, Polygon, 2042 etc

c) They wouldnt do so much just to increase carnage

Thanks for the update on the non-repair spots. I wonder if it's simply just decoration. I strongly doubt it is a War thing.

 

The War will be over within 2 weeks total*, so there is no need to add yet another mechanic here during an already chaotic time. Maybe something after the War, though?... Give me a Radioactive Tank... Cause decay damage to all enemy tanks within a range... Only sure way to repel Freeze On Steroids.

 

 

* - First turn, 1 pt. Second turn, 8 pts. Third turn, 27 pts. Onward, the average team will own about one-third of the map, so add 35 pts. per turn thereafter. (Container lands aren't until turn 4, but this is approximate.) So, Turn 14 will be where the average team gets over 400. But, this is the average team. That means that there's either a better team which scored more quickly OR this is a 3-way tie for the worst team. Therefore, 14 days is the maximum War length.

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

Therefore, 14 days is the maximum War length.

No the war is only 300 points

 

so look here

 

we have 5+3*4+1*18 which is 35

SO WAR WILL END ON TURN 11 MAXIMUM. did you really think devs will give away tons of containers over 2-3 weeks? of course not!

First day 0+1=1

Second day 1+7=8

Third day 8+22=30

4: 30+34=64

5: 64+35=99

6: 99+35=134

7: 134+35=169

8: 169+35=204

9: 204+35=239

10: 239+35=274

11: 274+35=309

The end.

this can even go away in a week if faction takes whole middle... thats sad

[Sergeant808 81]

No the war is only 300 points

Good catch.

It'll be hard to take the middle and defend all places against two factions for long. That said, you're right that it could be done. The ability for the other 2 factions to attack into the leader's home front and just start trashing everything is a possibility, but the middle (plus the medium ring) is worth more than a faction's entire heartland.

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

It'll be hard to take the middle

Looking at stupidity of lions, attacking some worthless parts with over 50000 stars and losing middle against both bears and wolves, seems like some of those two will take it.

[MR-Z_E_U_S 0]

i think it will be like a meteorite of a box containing 2 or 3 stars

So what exactly is it?

Well, I'm kind of answering my self but...ANSWER: According to Tanki, this is actually Top Secret, and, well, they probably won't give up the secret any time soon! Really, use your imagination!

[Levi 611]

Any News ?

These secrets really annoy me. They usually turn to be something which ruins game balance.

[Hancho 3,902]

Nothing happened during war. Didn't see anything drop. 

[austen_pierce 1,948]

News and Announcements hinted at more updates this week. Thinking this Nuclear supply may be involved.

I didn't catch this earlier, but yes, Lions so stupid.

 

Any News ?

dev are torturing us. I expect there to be a sale/minievent-holiday this weekend and that is probably when the truth will come out. We should know tomorrow.

[RevengeAttacker 217]

Maybe they are hinting us about a nuclear tank day that will be lame and which nobody asked for it

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

hahahahahahaha

yeah i see it turned upside down totally

[Psychotic 166]

http://prntscr.com/kgvpac I saw it fall but idk what it does or if theres any notification cause i had just joined

Hmm is it legit

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

Maybe the person who catches it will get his double damage, speed boost, and double armor activated all at once

They may also get healed

[Tani_S 736]

Hmm is it legit

A friend of mine took one too a couple of days ago. He said, that he couldn't see anything happen, so he wondered what it is all about.

[thesquarerootof2 165]

The War is long over now but this is still there

[Evanescence 100]

My theory is that there was supposed to be a new supply falling but due to technical issues that the devs haven't noticed, they are just sitting there.

Doubt it. We would have seen it in the patch notes. It’s a forward deployment for a future release, IMO.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

my guess is that this new supply is an overdrive booster, either extends overdrive active time or boosts the charge up, or maybe even make it such that you'll need to use this supply  to activate overdrive

why are they making this supply? because they're gonna release a drone that will prolong the effect of this supply


think about it... they first announced hull overdrives at last year's tanki meetup, and the one for this year is just around the corner.
