This is not because of this update.  About 2 weeks ago i saw a similar jug battle in a similar rank. The enemy jug one shotted medium hulls with double armour

Yep.... lol. The biggest imbalance here is definitely in Juggernaut mode, it's just insane. I think the way they changed the ranks around on modifications (apart from a little evening up) was not good, and also there is no way that maxed out microupgraded turrets, for instance m1 10/10 / m2 10/10 should have been converted to the next modifaction - this is just madness. In a few months when people have upgraded to m3/m4 equivalents at low ranks it will literally be impossible for new accounts, even buyers, to compete against these accounts. This will be the greatest imbalance in Tanki history... fun for those of us who are lucky enough though. The correct conversion for m2 10/10 SHOULD have been mk6 10/10, not allowing players to skip ranks. This is a huge mistake. I guess it will even out after several months/ a year but until then you will have to deal with some beasts in battle.

Other than that, this update does have a lot of interesting features such as closer ranks for each turret on modifications and faster kit rotation for non-buyers, so it is pluses and minuses. Those of us who have older accounts and have turrets and hulls far ahead in upgrade level are going to have a giant advantage over new accounts for a long time.

No you are wrong, m1 10/10 = m2 is supposed to be equal to mk5 under the new system, and you upgrade that to mk7 level which is m3 equivalent. Mk6 is basically m2.5, and smoky m1 10/10 was upgraded to mk6 and not mk5 that because they changed smoky's rank limits. It may be hard to understand. So yes you could have faced a Juggernaut close to the power of this but not quite. And the scary thing is, if I was a buyer I could get this up to mk6 10/10 or old m3 level at master seargent... lol.

Ok, ignore my previous post...I just read that tanki would be just going to m3 skins for all modifications...unless I'm missing something, this must be an intentional suicide by the company. Like lol, these changes seem to be intentionally as bad as possible. 

I'm impressed by the guy who narrates the vlog that he could say all of that with a straight face

I just tried Juggernaut on my 3rd LT account with M6 Smoky, was amusing

[chiragdon 164]

One of the horrible update in tanki.....

[lssimo 1,559]

Worse than I anticipated.

How do you come up with the best ideas to ruin the game?

8 Modifications levels is a mess.

And then you make them have 10 MU steps?!

End support of the Flash client and put "Good Bye" messages on the billboards.

I have observed a lot more of what this drug infested trash has to offer, and oh boy, the price hyke is HIGH:

* Kits have much smaller discounts (e.g. 15%, as opposed to 40% to 70%)

* You get less stuff for the same, if not even more amount of crystals/money as you did before; there are no paints, and may be not even protection modules attached to kits

* If you had Railgun M2, you won't get Railgun Mk5, you will get Railgun Mk4.5, which is just trash, I spent lots of hard-earned crystals on an M2 kit and got screwed over big time

* If you had Railgun M2.10, which is the equivalent of Railgun M3 before the update, your equipment won't be Mk6.10, but rather Mk7, meaning you can get Mk7.20 aka Mk8, which is the max upgrade, at the low-low rank of me. Mk8 vs Mk4.5, fair game, isn't it?

 

 

Though I can confirm that the total amount of micro-upgrades has stayed the same, this is it. This is the final straw. Unless they make everything as cheap as it was before this update, allow you to skip upgrades AND make kits equal in their value and discount as before, I am never playing this game again.

If you are going to say this, do it. People tend to vote with their feet and if enough long time players leave after garbage stuff like this, devs will realize there is a cost for doing dumb stuff for no reason. I still enjoy the game too much, so I'm hoping things are fixed, but I cant deny this has left a really sour taste. Feels kinda like when matchmaking was introduced, but even though that was unasked for, it did offer some good things. This...from the mk stuff to only having one generic skin, seems just all bad

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I don't know if they're literally trying to piss many players off, or if the higher ups told them to, or if they're listening to the wrong kind of players. But whatever it is, this update sucks so bad in so many ways that it's hard to list them all. But I'll list a few:

 

· First of all I was not happy when I couldn't log in to the game, forum or even look up my profile at all last night. Which meant I couldn't do my missions at all until the next morning. And I had to do it on mobile of all places. Also why the heck did it take so long to maintain it? By the way, next time you have to do maintenance on the game that requires it to be shutdown, do it before the server restart, not during.

 

· Second, this new system makes the game more complicated, confusing. Also "MK" makes me cringe to death. But most important of all, what was even the point of it?

 

· Third, I hear that now only m3s can join pro battles. If this is true, then this surely made a lot of players angry, because now if they complete all their missions and want to play more but not in MM, what are you gonna tell them? "Sorry but you can't do that, but you are welcome to spend your time on the chat"? I don't think so, they'll just go find another game.

 

· Fourth, so now everyone will start off with the m3 skins? Bruh, that will devalue getting it at m3. Also it'll be extremely hard to tell who has a strong tank and who doesn't.

 

So this is a very bad start to the new year, and new decade.

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

I must admit though, wrecking people with gear far above the normally allowed upgrade level is fun though  I feel sorry for new players or those who just missed the upgrade threshold, I have a mere mk6 8/10 hunter in my main's garage which missed the full m3 as I was short a few upgrades so it will soon be... obsolete when facing m4s. I have rail, dictator and isida with potential to upgrade to m4 so I'll have to stick to those.

On some of my alts instead of waiting for kits I can now get the higher upgrade level through microupgrades without having to wait for kits any more which is interesting.

It will take 6 months to a year before the old account advantage from this update becomes less frequent I guess. It might be a fun challenge to try and take down some of these big beasts that are going to appear in 2-3 months of microupgrades with a lesser geared account.

I think I'll manage against the incoming crowd of M4 / Mk8 tanks if I MU my Mk6 turrets by 10 steps right away.

 

My biggest worry is anyone with 50% protection. Have only encountered a couple of players with that so far, but I'm expecting a lot more.

Well, no help in the Matchmaking department from the modification update.  I was just in a match with my alt account which is Rank5 and MK1.  The other team had Rank10 which could easily be Mk4 equipment.  This is M0 vs M2...it could actually even be worse now since that MK4 could have his equipment MUed to MK5 levels which would make it M0 vs M3.  It was such an absolute slaughter that I would guess most of the opposing team was M2 (MK4) and one guy M3 (MK5)

 

So as I said previously in several other posts, the modification update will have no beneficial effect on Matchmaking....MM is still broken an the number one problem with Tanki.

[I.R.O.N.S.I.D.E 1]

I had m2 railgun and m2 hornet both 5/10 now are mk5 and all my other m2s are now m1s pretty much

[Mountaingoat11 26]

So I buy Gauss at 50% off only to find a few months later that I still have to upgrade it to Mk5 and get it up with my other M2s because the scaling system is stupid.

Completely unnecessary, seeing as how the buyers will still max out their stuff. You offered a bundle in-game that had 1.5 MILLION crystals, and you don't think there's going to be problems?!?

 

Also, it makes aspiring legends die because they have to upgrade everything from the ground up, which, at that point, doesn't really make sense financially. Including protections...

The only people that don't care are legends who have everything maxed out already (sucks to suck, lol).

Relatable, lol.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Well... 1st MU for mk7 costs a lot more than 100 crystals... more like 1000.

And takes a lot more than 10 min... more like 4 hrs.

only thing I agree to.

What are you bafoons doing?! You've completely scrambled the game balance! I can upgrade my previously fully MUed Smoky+Titan M1 to Mk7 now. What's the point in grinding to Marshall anymore? I'm playing with players way above my rank in matchmaking now, but have equal equipment upgrades. How is this update supposed to encourage more players to spend money when you're now able to get max upgrade equipment at WO5?!

 

Why would you make all tanks without a skin the same, regardless of their upgrade level? This makes zero sense. You can't tell what modification the opponent is anymore. It's gonna make the game so bleak. 

 

I'm done if you're actually gonna proceed to implement the other announced changes and not revert to the old system.

[Intercept-1 80]

I have some mixed feelings about this update

It's cool and confusing

So I decided to make some memes
