Episode 187 of the V-LOG is live!

          The reason of why battles keep being shortened is that Tanki has no more Tankers to fill them in MM battles and instead of keeping them waiting will just end the battles faster so that tanki has 3-4 individuals available for a battle. At m1 ranks I keep getting in battles against m2 to m4 and is so annoying, I will never spend my money to fight against higher turrets, but developers can't understand this, because they are unable to process too much information at the same time. Also, just because my account is a buyer account, Tanki expects me to carry and win for a team where they fill in my team a bunch of 9 losers, mults, sleepers, saboteurs, runners, etc. Do expect this kind of adjustment in the future as well, also do expect to play with Legend ranks since Recruit, soon. (rofl)

The only people who would need to buy more crystals because they get less every battle, will be the people who aren't as skilled and find themselves at the bottom of the scorecard. ... If someone is that impatient, and can't be bothered to actually gain too much skill, they always have the shorter way to purchase crystals.

That happens a lot to me too, especially on the lower accounts. So I'd rather wait peacefully in the queue rather than getting frustrated and blown to bits on the losing side of a battle whose fate was already decided by MM.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

A shot at 100% gave me a 4-second reload and 3 seconds to power up to 100% again.

are you sure it was 4 seconds? should be just 3,5..

[wolverine848 13,097]

Exactly. The time you spent not charging up your shot's power is added to the reload. So the less you charge up your shot, the longer it will take to reload afterwards.

There is a work-around to get off two close-range shots very quickly.

 

While under cover charge-up to 100%.  Hold the charge.  Move out from cover and hit target. Reload and a do another shot at 0% charge with no penalty.    (You can thank Guido for "cheating" your "balancing")

I'm not sure if Tanki is using the Gear Score to create MM battles. I think Tanki just adds players as they come. I think the problem is that Tanki puts Groups agains random players without trying to balance or compensate the random team. That's why I call it 'Groups versus Noobs'.

 

Long before MM I said that Groups and Friends should only fight other teams with Groups and Friends, adding randoms of higher ranks to balance teams, and to let us know who are Group or Friends.

 

I think the Group system should be merged with the Friends system somehow, but players playing alone should have more battles of only random players.

I doubt it. MM considered a player's equipment long before GS came out. GS is mainly for the players, not for the system.

magnum haters thought they finally won at first and then they realize...

 

[Benefactor 6,888]

are you sure it was 4 seconds? should be just 3,5..

I was timing by hand. But yeah, I love bombarding from a distance at that pace.

have you tried using magnum with hammer style? after you have your 100% prepared you'll basically be a super hammer..

 

hammer burst damage : 3240 damage in 3,6 seconds

 

magnum burst damage : 3490 damage in 3,5 seconds

 

while hammer has the advantage of higher overall impact from the 3 shots, it won't be able to make full use of that impact without risking a few stray pellets missing as a result of hitting the corner... for if more than 2 pellets miss then it won't be able to kill the medium hull.

 

on the other hand, magnum should have no problem making full use of the 700 impact that comes with the shot.

Hammer style? <5 degrees? I'd kill myself at close range.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

0° 100% shot followed by 0% 10° shot after 3,5 seconds ;)  not anymore you won't. they reduced splash damage ;)

They have no idea why they created GS in the first place and they forgot how it works.

0° 100% shot followed by 0% 10° shot after 3,5 seconds ;)

You know that a Legend called me a hacker for doing that. Because I reloaded too fast, so he called me hacker.

always feels so good to be called a hacker when you're not, doesn't it? ;) 

 

this is how much magnum has been buffed, it's power level is now on par with that of hackers.

 

soon, more and more people will discover that magnum has transformed from super-thunder to super-hammer!

Ah cool. Oh wait, can I still use DD safely at that range?

Better than being called a buyer.

depends on your hull... probably not with a wasp... but there's always the magnum module ;)

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Viking

oh you'll survive, just don't get too close. wait for the wiki to release what exactly is the new "average hit distance" value and don't go closer than that.

 

for me I use titan and magnum module so i barely feel any self damage

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

A hacker is better than a buyer? Sure dude. Sure.

 

A game with 30% of hackers would be completely dead.

 

A game with 30% of buyers keeps the servers alive.

what he means is that it is better to be disliked for doing something against the rules than to be disliked for doing something that helps to fund this game

Next time someone calls you a buyer and insults you because of it. Just say this " At least I'm financially supporting the game so that you can play it for free." ;)

Yeah and the same persons that dislike buyers would cry if the game was closed because there are not enough money for servers.

 

There are plenty of tank games out there, if players don't like buyers, they can go see other games.

 

But I have something to tell them : other games are full of buyers too.
