Very Lucky moments we've had!


 Share

Recommended Posts

Got any lucky moments in tanki that you've had? Want to share?

 

Here is mine.

 

 

So last night in tribute CTF (MM) so many atomic explosions took place behind me to the left, and I turned around thinking that there was a pile up of tanks. What really happened was that no one was there but a gold box was just 40m away, and no one else was nearby, so I just took it.

 

I guess you could say that 1k crystals was worth barely any effort at all at that time. :D

 

 

So what are your lucky moments? And it doesn't even have to be about gold.

I've had one that I shared before, where I saw a gold box drop zone so I just passed under, shooting (edit: with Magnum - sorry for confusion :)) as I went (non-meteorite gold). I had a DD equipped (Polygon, drop zone in the middle depression) and just as my shot landed two Wasps and a Hunter emerged - both Wasps got killed and the Hunter had DA but was still significantly damaged. It was really satisfying :)

 

Second happened yesterday when my friend and I were on low accounts in Chernobyl TDM. There was a gold dropping in the middle, but the other team was killing so it ended up just my friend there. I spawned way back, but I still drove with SB just in case, then I saw the two explosions, and... there was no one there. My friend ended up getting herself killed by the meteorite, but killed literally everyone else that was waiting, so I just strolled along and took the gold. I got 1K crystals, she got a handsome package of exp.

I had a precious moment yesterday in a Magistral TDM where, driving on the bridge, I was a Dictator and in front of me were 3 Wasps that were bumping into each other while crossing the bridge. That felt like a wholesome experience of me being an impromptu father figure to those Wasps. 

 

On a less civilised interpretation, it also looked like I was walking my 3 dogs that kept bumping into each other.

Recently I was on Kungur at the bridge, I was about to go down by jumping from the bridge until a railgun shoot me from the side and made two side flips and landed on track, I was impressed by that as it rarely happens to me, specially a double flip :rolleyes:

Very same thing happened to me. I was so amazed and stunned seeing I was upright, I paused for a moment too long....BOOM!!

I always thought Dictator looked like a giant Wasp.

CTF on Tribute with Hunter / Smoky

 

I was running away from a Firebird whilst shooting at them (so driving blind) and ended up on my side after I drove round the corner of a building and off the wall on a ramp (the one behind the building near the red flag location). There was an upside down teammate next to me.

 

Should have been an easy double kill for the Firebird, but my first and second shots tipped my tank over and the next one killed the Firebird. Didn't have to aim my turret. It was already pointed at the ground and was pointing at the Firebird when I tipped over.

Probably every time my Titan lands on it's tracks. Every jump is a dice roll. 

Best way to jump with a Titan is straight backwards. As soon as you land on your tailpipe, put the tracks in forward gear. Since the lightest part of the tank is in the rear, it seems the way to go is forward, but for some unknown reason, if you jump backwards, you're less likely to flip. But you have to make sure you land directly on your tailpipe. If you go off at an angle you'll land on your side.

If you use something with high recoil it can also help. I remember doing flips with my Railgun on Madness when it was still good and had somewhere to fall too.

I use Vulcan 99.99% of the time with Titan. Otherwise, I use Viking, which can be a little tricky, too.

So I got four containers from challenges earlier, and 3/4 were 100 supplies packs. The fourth was ten days of premium. I think I just used up all my luck in two minutes.

Headstart for august challenge :P

finally got a great solo Rugby play. They don't even expect me to throw the ball. I threw it over 3 players' heads and was able to score. Didn't think I'd survive that long tbh.

And it was the only goal scored in the battle. 

 

It looked like this, expect I was being radolled a bit at the end because of the enemies trying to kill me.

Time for you to write a Rugby guide?  :ph34r: 

Flexoo pays well.
