Why is the vampire kit for crystals weaker that the vampire kit you can get for tanki coins?

Also is there a page where we can see all the kits that can be available? (in further ranks)

My Hornet was M2, but now Mk4 (with M1 skin) Why?

So I used up a lot of crystals on buying m2 kits at my rank and had 6 m2s altogether but now I only have one gun that shows up as m5, from the vlog I saw that if you have m2 it should be m5. How comes I only got mk5 for ricochet but the rest of my m2 guns have got m4s?

 

My old m2s

• Ricochet
• Isida 
• Freeze
• Railgun
• Hornet
• Dictator

The only mk5 is ricochet and the rest are mk4...?

My brother also plays the game and he has mk4s instead of mk5s and some mk5s and we are on the same rank and had similar m2s before, this makes no sense

 

My freeze which was m2 is now mk3, which completely baffles me, can any officials explain please?

 

Also on the HTML5 web version of the game, for me it doesn't show the special icon next to any chat moderator and I'm assuming it doesn't for anyone else so it would be quite helpful if they had the special icon in the web version of the game so people can know who to go to if they need help

http://prntscr.com/qp5po1

Please read and understand what I'm trying to say @Marcus

I will use dictator as an example, so by the looks of the conversion chart, it states that dictator m2 0/10 should be a mk4, but this is totally nonsense. I bought dictator m2 with railgun m2 for more than 150k through a product kit and now they are both mk4s, and I must spend 70k for dictator mk5 and 80k for railgun mk5. This means I must spend ANOTHER 150k just to get these to mk5 and I must rank up so many more levels just to get mk5. The balance is all over the place as I am in battles with people with mk7s and I can do absolutely nothing against them. This system has messed up all the prices and balances. You said that there would be no price increase but it seems like there has been a price increase. This update has messed up people with m2 with 0/10 as they have mk4 and they originally payed way more  crystals and now have to spend MORE CRYSTALS just to get their mk5s??? 

 

Can you not revert these changes so we can at least upgrade our m2s a few times just to get mk5s????? I thought this update would be good at first but now it has messed up many things, can you not just give everyone who had m2s mk5s and everyone had had m3s mk7s, you're complicating it by giving me mk4s with one MU or two MUs since its not worth it

You haven't unlocked the Mk5 variant of the kit for crystals yet, you need to rank up once.

why i have mk7 railgun and m2 hornet 

 

You need an Mk7 combo - both the turret and hull need to be Mk7.

Thank you @Stratosphere

Tanki Team is drawing a clear line between free players and buyers. a very very thick line in fact. Now free player's garage will be like a beggar's badge against buyers.

 

This is a new low from Tanki Team. "A little difference in prices". I didn't had Guass protection so I was collecting crystals for it. Guess what, it jumped to 385000 crystals from 250000 crystals. Plus the same is with all other turrets, hulls and protections. So now only buyers can enjoy multi turrets or hulls in their garage. Free players now have to stick to one pair if they ever hope to cope up with the upgrades. This is just below the belt. Have some shame if you know what that is actually.

 

Basically free players will soon get bored with their garage since there will be nothing else decent enough to choose. This is going to make this game super boring and dull. Thumb down for this update, or should I say downgrade.

To give a more clear picture what has happened here, let me give the guyz here some numbers.

I have a Generalissimo account in which I have:

2 Mk7 Hulls (fully upgraded)

5 Mk7 Turrets (fully upgraded)

4 Mk7 Turrets (partial upgraded)

13 MK7 Protections (partial upgraded)

few Alterations, drones and bunch of supplies

NOW...

If you want to have a single Mk7 kit, suppose Twin + Viking with all protections.

You need 6,480,000 crystals just for that (without any upgrade).

No alterations, drones, batteries or supplies. Just a single kit with protections.

Check your profiles and see how much crystals you have earned so far. It will give you a clear idea behind this upgrade.

this is the worst update ever

 

[panzerbilly-tanker 1]

So this update grade is actually the former tanki from 5 years ago with no rank limits to gain m3 equipment( now mk7), Then u could buy m3 freeze an d shaft at mayor general rank and smoky twins when reaching rank of marshall? so this is What?? Not new, only in extra payment of crystals, I think.

[U_Srcu_Srbije 0]

Who to contact, the day before the update game, I put an update shaft on me. No crystals were returned to me and the update stopped at 6 updates, (6 out of 10) --- 35,000 crystals for 7 lvl.

Tank Appearance

[...]

Eventually, we’ll have only one basic skin, so your tank will start off with the best looking appearance, no matter what your Mk level is.

This isn't good enough of an explanation. You are about to make another mistake soon.

First you remove the possibility to see what modification level and how many microupgrades a player has (by clicking V or R, if I remember correctly), so that already made it confusing, and now you are making all tanks of all levels look the same? It will be hard to tell then if the player you are playing against has mk1 or mk8. Think this through.

I am a warrant officer two and my smokey is MU to Mk5 and it still looks like an M1 (The old M1). And i saw a sergeant major with a smokey that looked like it was M2 (the old m2).

I dont understand.

It's so painful to watch this being sold for only tankoins, i wish they added crystal option, it hurts my soul

Based on a 4620 Tankoin product kit being sold 153,850 Crystals (Mountain Mk5 in my showcase today), that would be 333K crystals.

 

Probably too cheap for Legends, but don't know how many Crystals they would pay for one.

The modification changes are a bit weird.

For example my old level and new level:

Firebird M1-10 > Mk5-5

Ricochet M2-3 > Mk5-5

Gauss M2-5 > Mk5-5

Freeze M2-? > Mk4-2

Twins M1-? > Mk4-7

 

 

 

Same bro, I had an m1 (10/10) thunder which became mk4 (8/10) but than my hunter mq (10/10) became mk5 (something/10). How does that even work.

[Michael828 816]

Thank you for giving me an m2 Magnum on my alt. It would've taken me like 17 months to get to that unlock rank.

[Bydo 20,119]

just for players with Red gear scores . you need to reload your protection. when this update happened it removed players protection . this happened to me and lots of other players.

I agree... one appearance is kind of dumb

So, this update resulted in some lucky people with m2.10 getting mk7, and m1.10 getting mk6.  

 

Can anyone explain why everyone has different changes? My alt has smoky magnum and hunter m1.10, but smoky got changed to mk6.0, while the other two became mk5.3.

Every turret and hull has different unlock prices and ranks tied to those prices for the conversion. 

 

Let's take one parameter to work with - the damage parameter. Magnum M1 10/10 had 913-1844 damage. Mk5 Magnum has 895-1809 damage. Do you see how close it is? 3 upgrades sounds just right to get it where it was before. 

 

Next, Smoky. Smoky had a very wide gap from M1 to M2. M2 Smoky damage is 340-528. Mk6 Smoky has 340-528, just like M1 10/10. 

 

Next, Hunter. Hunter M1 10/10. It used 2294. Mk5 is 2250. 3 upgrades from that is close. 

 

Do you see how the conversions work now?

You have max number of "old" MUs you can get per rank.

MKs are now split by rank.  The fact they botched conversion does not take away from the limitation imposed going forward.

 

11 hours ago, wolverine848 said:

Those upgrades are not gonna happen quickly and they won't be cheap.

And it's a one-time aberration. Anyone going forward that does not currently have mk7 will be limited by rank.

Short-term pain for long-term gain?

 

i think your view of the matter also taking in account your previous post is just sad. So long term it will be good? Just listen to yourself, you just said it too.

EVERYONE will be limited by ranks. But not you favored childs of heaven with your option to at least put some kind of a fight with mk7s since you will be all in equal footings. SO, long term everyone else will have an even harder time reaching higher ranks. The hell are you even saying? don't you see that? WHAT LONG TERM GAIN. The hell men. That is rude. They broke at least 70-80% of their lower-mid rank player base with this stunt and we only see more and more posts of some having a fun blasting ppl right after the new (oh so useful) longer spawn protection not being actually that very useful. And not being satysfied why not finish off the other 20-30% by making only 1 skin BESIDES the ones you actually have to pay for or hope to get as another type of favored childs of heaven? C'mon. No one can be THAT blind to talk about long term gain unless they just have smooth sail ahead and expect to be in the right.

 

Resuming. Short-term pain for even LONGER-term pain. You name it: earnings of crystals and exp , or even some fun of blowing some tanks up ( cause ye... this is a game and I DOUBT any person here besides some masochists just love to get K/D under 0.20 in a competitive setting just because some lucky guys UNFAIRLY by one MU got over the limits everyone has to abide for ) .
