4250 GS vs 9900 GS

Had a moment when a Lt Colonel OHKO my 9k GS Mk8 Hornet with their 4k GS Ares-Gauss.

Pretty weird.

We are placed in battles based on our Ranks.

The player who had low GS might not have had his Perfect Tank equipped.

He/She could have been using a combination for a battle or two.

Players who are at similar Ranks should focus on upgrading to at least one Perfect Tank with a high GS. That player might have it.

What if my "Perfect Tank" or "Dream Tank" includes the Crisis Drone? Or EMP Gauss? What am I to do then?

That's agreeable, but until you get these rarer items, you can have a replaced backup while waiting to obtain them.

• So until you get Crisis or EMP Augment for Gauss, use another Drone that you like playing with.
  • I'm using Brutus right now because it doesn't use up any Batteries. So I can use it while I'm saving Batteries and waiting for my actual Drone.
• You can use the regular Gauss right now while waiting. Regular Gauss does more damage than EMP, and it also does splash damage with both modes. So it's a nice temporary back-up.

How long do you figure that will take, hmm?

I played Tanki Online for approximately 10 years.

I did not have a Perfect Tank until after I created this main/favorite account.

For this main account, it took 3 years until I got EMP Augment for Gauss because I'm a F2P player. It took 4 years for me to get Thunder XT Skin.

So until then, I just used whatever I had, did the Special Missions, a lot of Contests, and regular Missions to save up, upgrade and get the items listed above.

I still don't have a Perfect Tank yet, but am close.

 

But getting your Perfect Tank item depends. It's because you might get it from a Contest, like me, or you might get it from the very first Skin Container you open.

But for me, it took 3-4 years. It could take you way less than this to get your items.

i remember when MM was just introduced, there were no rank limits, you'd have 100-1000 GS level equipment players (GS wasnt a thing back then) against maxed out M3s, or Mk8s for today

lets just say it didnt end well

Thats way too much to get something good, and xt skins should be for crystals like before because its only look and dont ruin gameplay, and then there is broken emp gauss for which i have no words.

XT Skins look very cool compared to the standard tank equipment. They don't ruin gameplay, like you have said, but they are all special skins to obtain for yourself.

They are rare so not many people have them. This is why these items are obtainable from only Containers and come Contests.

Same goes with EMP Gauss. It is a unique and a very rare/special Augment that only some people have.

Problem is - MatchMaker allows players in same battle who are not "similar Ranks".

That 4250 player might have been using the best equipment they had.

Stock Gauss was released in summer of 2019 - less than 2 years ago.

How could it take you 3 years to get Gauss EMP?

I apologize. I wasn't clear in my wording.

• I made many small Tanki accounts from around 2011 to 2017. 
• In 2017, I made this main account to play on.
  • I would only play on this one and not any others, from then on.

So, from the time that I made my account (2017) to now (2021), it has been 4 years.

• I made this account in 2017.
• As you said, the EMP Gauss Augment came out in 2019.
• I got the EMP Gauss around 2021. 
• So it took about 2 years to get it. (from 2019 to 2021.)

But I had this account since 2017. So it took my entire account 3 to 4 years until it got EMP Gauss and Thunder XT Skin.
