Sorry, my mistake. Scheduled it for 2am instead of 2pm. Juggling a bunch of things. Fixed now

 

Thanks for pointing it out!

Wow, the new garage.
we returned back to old buying system where had to buy all modification of turret or hull to have the unlocked maximum modification, it was around 2014 or 2013.
I my self hadn't had even m0 twins at that time (2013-2014) once I reached the rank unlocked twins m3. Hence, I had to buy all m0+m1+m2 to only be able to buy m3.

All I mean is that this new buying system is not new. it was existing for years.

The part about OD is old news. Especially when Dictator shows 25 points for sharing lol.

I hope they're make the M0-M2 skins available for crystals like how it was in Tanki X. I get that they're cosmetic items not needed for gameplay, but I really doubt there would be a lot of real-money buyers for lame low grade skins. Quite a few people would want to buy them for crystals though.

Yeah really sucks when mk1 n mk7 looks same.

There was a thing called "coatings" in tanki X that where basically paintings that only covered your turret. The devs thought that spamming those useless things that nobody wanted in containers would be amazing and totally profitable, but that just killed tanki x faster (people got uninterested in containers). I hope they don't spam the old skins in containers because that would suck, your idea is far better.

 

Plus, my hornet m2 became the equivalent of an m1, meanwhile there are people whit hornet m3 at ranks lower than mine. Amazing.

And here i was hoping they would add more skins for every MK modification apart from current skins. Tanki never fails to amaze me

One skin for every modification? Seriously?

One skin for all Mk is fine, the game is so fast i can't spend time to split my eye to try to find out which level they are. MK7 looks better for sure.

Which skin allows more of your paint to show?  Don't like the m3 (mk7) skins - too much metal that hides the paints...

I agree. I don't like the M3 (Mk7) skins at all.

 

I got Matrix paint when I still had M0 Hunter, looked great. Wish I still had M0 Smoky back then too instead of M1, would have looked even better.

 

If I can't use M0 skins again, I'd like to stick with M2.

tanki's gonna be a real mess in the mid/low ranks thanks to the new modifications

[2shots2kills 2,368]

I can see a very simple reason of why the old M0, M1, and M2 skins are going to be removed.

 

The Devs said they will rework all the current old crappy Skins into new ones with a much higher polygon count (similar to the Ultra skins), so imagine having to create 4 HD skins for each one of the Hulls and Turrets... the cost would be quite high.

 

Also, now that the upgrade levels range from MK1 to MK7, it would make no sense to have only 4 skins. Either each piece of equipment gets 7 skins, or just 1.

 

And we all know how Tanki works now don't we? They will only put 1 skin per hull and weapon. Less time invested, less money required, and makes the "most" sense.

But why make everyone have the same basic skin? This would absolutely suck.

These devs sometimes make me want to storm into their office and give them a piece of my mind. Especially with updates like this one.

To encourage purchase of special skins in order to stand out, obviously. But like I said - there should be more "budget" cosmetic options, meaning either old M0-M2 skins re-introduced for crystals, or brand new tank add-ons like side skirts and bumpers which could still be overpriced (under 1000tk), but at the same time affordable since they only change a small part of your tank, rather than the whole exterior.

But we need all the basic skins, they're great info on who's gonna wreck us and who'll be easy prey.

Nah man, that's 2013 Tanki you're talking about  

As soon as micro-upgrades got introduced it was no longer possible to judge the power of any tank in front of you. And don't tell me about "R" info because no one has time to press and read all that mid-battle. Right now we have the semi-helpful Gear Score, but the tank's texture has been useless ever since XTs got turned into skins and became possible to acquire and equip at any modification. Skins are purely cosmetic now - there's no getting away from that.

Would you rather it was to sell exclusive OP tanks for $$$ only?

OP tank is still for $$$ only. Only hardcore buyers can buy drones, batteries to be OP. what is OP for you? Mk7 hull and turret or drones?

"OP tank for $$$" implies equipment more powerful than any other item, and only possible to acquire by paying real money. Not TKs from missions, not challenges, not saving crystals for a long time.

I know Tanki isn't exactly making it easy for free players to get the top tier stuff, but the fact is that it's possible, even oif extremely difficult.

[mjmj5558 2,346]

I think...  There have to be an opinion.  Which skin do you want to equip. M0, 1,2 or 3 I like m3 skin but I think someones prefer m0 skin or m1 because they want to see their paints.
