HTML5:

- setting up a PRO battles is way harder,

- you cannot browse the battle list/ use your garage while using global chat,

- no way to add new friends while in battle,

- you cannot chat at the end of a battle,

- everything is a few more clicks away than before -- the interface is actually worse,

- when entering the garage during battle your screen goes blank purple with only a loading indicator at the bottom. It used to be much better in flash when you could actually see the battle.

- you do not have a full view of your tank while changing paints, turrets, hulls, etc.

- keyboard controls are way worse: camera takes forever to follow your target. It should have been left like it was in Flash. I am aware that some people complained about having feeling nauseous due to the camera moving very fast, but some people liked it better that way, and nobody really complained about the Flash camera, so there really is no reason to make it so extremely slow.

 

These issues need fixing, so I am here pointing them out to help make the game better.

Thank you for reading

Could you please leave just one of these topics? I posted four by accident because the Forum lagged and showed my a time out error.

So, the fact that product kits are only available for purchase in the HTML5 online version seems hasty, as if they are pushing players towards moving away from flash. It makes sense, but as for now, I don't see the point in not having product kits available on the client, at least until they completely finalize HTML5, which might take some time. It doesn't take a ton of effort to go onto HTML5, but I would still prefer them to also be available on flash, as there are likely players who play flash that don't know where the kits disappeared off to.

How to use old camera setting in new HTML5, it makes me feel dizzy!, especially using railgun.

- The long time of "hold on" after that MMS has found a battle. But you need to be held-on for 1 min then it lets you to play.

- Joining events was way easier in flash, now it is more steps of clicks.   (I found a way to join fast)

- No tabs for gifts.

- Dizzy camera.

- No ignore option.

- The client version: needs to always log in for every alternative accounts, It doesn't save the accs. (For that reason, I still use flash)

- One key assignable for overdrives and other supplies!. It was 3 assignable.

- The main menu (main screen): the camera always rotates fast_{(slow is better)} and will not stop for a few seconds by clicking on the tank.

- In the garage menu: by scrolling over Items the Tank rotates too; And sometimes it needs to be stopped for seconds by just clicking on the tank itself.

- Adding the "O" key again will make life easier.

- Alterations was visibile by "V" key. Now how can they be seen.

- On the battle log: It doesn't show with its especial indication for each action in the battles such as: Taking flag, returning flag, passing ball and etc. I
          used to seeing only the indications. That way was faster to understand battle actions.Scroll down to reach the "HUD Indicators" then under the "Completed Objectives"

- Spectator comments are not shown in HTML5 specially in events needing it the most. (Has been solved)

- Moving mission slots. (Today I lagged and double clicked the completed mission so the the remaining one moved under my mouse pointer and
          changed unintentionally(-_-)  )

+ It never gives fatal errors. Thus no more throw-outs which is the best part.

+ Now the main menu includes the garage view.

+ Aiming is helpful, It shows whether your shot will hit by highlighting the tank in red outlines.

+ No more long waiting times for finding another battle after battle. But it itself doesn't let you see your mission is done or not. making it a pop-up
         notification of how far it has been progressed and the remaining progress will help a lot.

+ The radar!!!

+ Joining events are the same in the flash with just one more step and that's the "Tab" key to hide the chat.

+ Now spectator comments are shown.

So far, I definitely like flash better....mainly because the UI is easier.

Going to garage takes forever. I'd love to be able to go to garage instantly like in flash...no need to load for a minute, just go.

Not sure where to see if people have sent badges to me...in flash the garage is very natural and easy to undestand. In html, things are confusing

My biggest complaint with html5 is that you can no longer use both the number keys and numberpad for supplies, now you have to choose either or.

Not sure where to ask.  Relevant thread was closed after I asked on it.

Is the Firebird Demonic skin in the rotation in HTML5 version shop?  I have gone through several rotations of the others I don't have (Rail Ultra, Wasp XT, Smoky XT) and that one never comes up.  Tankoins are ready to be given to you if it shows up.

To my knowledge,the Demonic skin for Firebird is not in the skin rotation, only XT, Prime, Ultra, and LGC skins are.

[DaringDeer 656]

For HTML5 version my biggest issues are:

1. No clan tags shown and no ability to go to clan view of other players.
2. Many places where user names are displayed, there are not options to view profile, add as friend, or view clan info (#1).
3. Sometimes you are damaged or killed and nothing visibly touched you.  This usually happens when hit by Railgun.  (Can tell by looking at what killed me.)
4. No ability to see gifts received or to send them.
5. Lack of audio notification when receiving group or pro battle invitation.
6. Battle pass and premium combo not available for purchase.  It is only in Flash.
7. I play on a large screen at 1440p and there is so much wasted space.  All the small scrollable areas should expand on larger screens.  The fact that you can't get a screenshot at end of battles with all players on it is particularly frustrating.

I tried the HTML5 client out and graphics performance was better but had more lag issues than in browser version.  Restarting it takes longer than just refreshing a browser tab.  I'll take lower graphics settings with more reliability for now.  It is just a packaged up version of Chromium so they should be able to add a refresh option so it doesn't need to be closed and reopened.

One other thing I dislike in HTML5 vs Flash is that in HTML5, once battle is over, you can't see earlier chat or send messages.

[BAUX_HERZOG_NEAPEL 99]

Concerning the HTML version game , i consider a very good Version , but IS URGENT TO ADD THE CLAN TAG NAME in front of the players and the Friendship colouring ! 

Thanks for a prompt reply 

[Pure 12]

Add a feature to be able to see other player's alterations like Flash client

[BAUX_HERZOG_NEAPEL 99]

Garage Timing Changing  is still very volatile in HTML version , sometime you change and you blow up immediately ( after 3 seconds !!! wrong )  , sometime you change when you die , the all process is unclear in timing , need a prompt correction !

[yellowghetto 3,206]

I cannot see my Garage tank?!

This is a frustrating part of the html, but i can help you...when you die, you need to press "p" then "g" to pause then go to garage BEFORE the camera starts moving. Once the camera starts moving, you will respawn. Its annoying but apparently its what they want

thanks for the tip , however it would be not difficult to improve the program with a more logical way !

OMG the lobby and garage in HTML5 are so inconvenient and fiddly!  Very poorly conceived and laid out.

[smoky_is_better 8]

I mean,yeah? What problems do you have with the HTML5 apart from interface and Alpha/Bravo team system, what's wrong?

I mean, HTML5 even no longer has FPS problem!

At least for me.Look at this.I am on intel HD graphics 520,on Chrome with vsync off.The only extension is adblock.

> Add the ability of R and V and show modifications(especially when all textures will become M3.

> Remove the Alpha Bravo team system(just put red and blue,it's much easier to understand,take this from a newbie.)

>Improve the garage which should show stats for all modifications instead of going to the Wiki for them.

[Thomas11239 366]

Is it just me or does the HTML5 version just feel meh? Like not bad but just a bit awkward or something, even though it should be pretty much the same game.
