Let's discuss glaring errors in Tanki

I usually don't use sound while playing Tanki.  Previously the sounds had some strategic value but they became overused and now just make a silly and pointless cacophony.  Sound effects are just one more thing Tanki has turned into trash in the past couple of years.

Anyway, I turned on the sound today to listen for the gold box siren as I was playing Rugby in the lower ranks.  When someone scores a goal, there is an obnoxious voice-over that yells "TOUCHDOWN!" in a tacky trite video game voice (sounds like the same guy that always yells "Triple Kill" endlessly in some million other tired shooter games).

 

This struck me as very odd since when a goal is made in Rugby it is called a "try" not a "touchdown".  "Touchdowns" are scores in American gridiron football...not Rugby. 

American football = touchdowns   Rugby = tries

 

I'm really glad I don't listen to Tanki, especially with huge glaring mistakes like this.

Try not Touchdown...ooops       What about Homerun!  Or Yatzee!   Or Cowabunga!  Or even, GOAL!

You are probably right.  It was kind of 420 out last night.  That being said, I do get miffed at the seemingly lackadaisical attitude of the devs...if it's not a way to generate more income, it doesn't matter.
