Honestly, on HTML5, it's too time-consuming to check the gear score of a tank that has been annoying you... 

We have to press TAB and check all the high GS players, and then match the OP players nick with the GS. All that takes away precious seconds in a 7 min battle, which is essentially 5-6 min for players like me who don't have a great internet connection. Not to mention that pressing TAB opens a window that obstructs view.

Just another endearing feature of good ol html5

I just noticed that the Rating pages also show M3 skins for all Turrets and Hulls.

yes it's one of most unpleasant things in HTML5,

time before, we can assume how is the player that in front of you by seeing his turret and tank M0 or M2 etc..., then after MU's its been not 100% accurate to know

after that they introduced with a V or R keys to know how exactly he has MU's and paints protection upgardes (most effective IMO).

Nowadays with Skins + Shot effects + Drones and Augments you can't assume player's strong.  

also with paint separation I see it adds fuel to the flames , and makes the things worse _{(you can argue with that)} .

now you just have to fight and take shots and you don't know what happens

and GS isn't that effective thing ever, neither its easily to use nor its effectiveness.

Its really frustrating thing for players who cares about details or in other means (normal player), its important thing to know how is your enemy

Fun fact: It shows the old skins if the account has not logged in after the Mk update.

Today in the V-Log they said:

From the 9th of september, we are boosting the earned experience by four times the amount, and continuing to double the funds. This will help new players to rank up faster, and get all hulls and turrets... shortening
the time you have to spend in order to upgrade your entire garage.

Haven't seen one yet.  How many hours before or after server restart?

It's totally random.  Sometimes I got 100, the other time that's 1,000.

Since the latest bundle with the Mk1 Hopper costs about 140 USD, and many players, including buyers, think that's the cost of the Hopper hull, I think we won't see the hull in the Garage for at least couple of weeks, and maybe up to a month, because if they release it sooner, buyers will be angry. Non-buyers have to be patient.

Imagine you pay 140$ and then in a few days you see its available for allNoope

btw, Tanki in the past few years bashfully added some items aren't directly payed or just for paying,

but nowadays it fed up with Tanki and they make something explicitly just for buyers. In real what was we wait? until they make it explicit that its just for buyers

They didn't do this with Ares, but Ares was long awaited, so maybe that's why. But they have virtuallly pay only Augments, so the idea was there.

I think if they bring back the special map with Hopper for a couple more Weekends before the full release, they can make it more palatable for all.

I think the 140 USD is more or less for the 100 ultra containers alone (if you roughly calculate their price in tankoins and what you would pay for the equivalent).

The jumpy frog hull is just a gimmick.

That way, no buyer should complain...

... when they put the hull in the garage next month.

I agree, the bundle includes the Ultra Cons and Augments too, but I think those that bought them did it to own the hull, and they'll be very upset if Tanki fully releases the hull this Week.

Sure. I think so too.

I was just wondering what a really lame excuse could look like that they could put forward if buyers started complaining.

I mean - it's going to be like:

Player: "hey, I spent all my crystals on a magnum modification, and now you make it a standard feature?!?!"

Tanki: "umhum"

We've seen it before.

I'm not against what they do with Hopper, I said that no one want to be in that situation after buying 140$ and the hull be available for all after somedays, Tanki maybe have their right in this

But what I say, the game didn't still anymore F2P or like what Semyon says "everyone can reach the highest thing in the game even without paying anything"

Hope you understand

Be funny if they release mk7 in the garage for 100 cry

Really? what do you think if they also give you crystals for buying it

[ReptilianTroll 236]

Everyone knows what is coming when Flash is discontinued. 

[Venerable 2,975]

The Hopper bundle is 15k INR on mobile (higher than browser version price). You could buy a decent new phone with that amount.

[lssimo 1,559]

A mod said that there will be other ways to get the new Hopper hull which, if true, means that it will take longer for it to appear in te garage.

Maybe it will be part of Challenges or Special Missions.

I am seeing them for the first time starting a couple of days ago. This is definitely good news for the f2p players to accumulate some stuff without playing a match. If you are diligent in logging in a few times a day, you will definitely hit it.
