For the past few weeks battles have been unbalanced

It seems the standard is that battles are unbalanced.  It is a rare occurrence that a battle is competitive - an actual good battle.

In my opinion, gear score means nothing - it comes down to augments and protection.  My M-18 Wasp gets one shotted out of existence constantly, and on any of those long CTF maps I never make it more than halfway.

The combo I play nearly all of the time now is Titan M-18 and Shaft M-18 because that hull will last long enough for me to get a few kills in before it's over.  That combo has 9000+ gear score but is still quite susceptible to augments. With the Titan I can achieve a plus k/d ratio, with any of my other stuff not at all.

My Wasp k/d ration is typically something like 2/17 or the like no matter the turret (because I die in 4 seconds or less), and with Titan/Shaft it's typically 10/6 or so simply because I last a little longer.

The fact is this is a pay to win game, and that drives all decisions by the people that are getting paid.

Sounds good, feel free to suggest this in the I&S section.

I don't know how that happened. Well nothing can be done now.

So many players that just camp and kill, camp and kill, camp and kill, camp and kill... I play CTF, no one going for flag just camp and kill. I play RGB, no one going for ball, just camp and kill. I play CP, no one going for points, just camp and kill. I play Siege, no one going for point, just camp and kill. I play ASL (in attack), no one going for flag, just camp and kill.

I hope an update will come to delete K/D from ratings. Yesterday played CF, my team won with 3-2 (I got 2 flags). My K/D was 6/13. Some players are desperate for there K/D...

I agree with you, but this has been part of the game for a long time. And the only person who can cope with a camper and neutralize it is a camper

If all of my other hulls/turrets are destroyed in 4 seconds or less, what is the logical thing for me to do?

Break out the biggest, longest lasting hull, and combine it with my most lethal turret.  The big hulls are slow - so I am going to traverse the map at a snails pace and grab the flag or score a goal?  Not likely.

Camping is part of the game, and I submit it is exacerbated by the lack of balance in the game, AND, people complain about it because they get destroyed by campers.

I don't hear anyone complaining about Twins, or Ricochet, Railgun, Thunder, or Vulcan - the turrets that require the least amount of skill but do an enormous amount of damage.  Just sit on the trigger and point in the GENERAL direction of an enemy and add up the kills.

If ALL turrets required the level of aiming skill that Shaft requires, the game a) would be more competitive and b) a ton of people would probably quit.

I WANT to grab flags and score goals, but my smaller, faster, nimble tanks just don't last long enough for me to do that.  I used to use Wasp almost exclusively in CTF and capture multiple flags per battle. Ever since the 16 vs 16 experiment, I'm lucky to get 1 flag every 4 or more battles, SO now, I revert back to Titan/Shaft, camp, and fire away.

That's how to earn CRYSTALS which are essential if you want to play this game, let alone be successful.

I've played in CTF matches where I scored the ONLY goals, thus winning the game for our team, but because I'm a non paying player, I wind up 5th or 6th on the team ranking and acquire 1 star and relevant crystals.

How does that make any sense? 

You want to reduce camping in CTF and RGB matches, etc. - make scoring goals worth MORE than piling up kills, make it harder to pile up kills, reduce the over powered augments, reduce the damage that constant fire turrets produce, and require turrets to actually aim at the target.

None of those things will happen because the philosophy of Tanki is too far down the arms race/profit motive road to implement those changes.

You want to use light hulls to grab a flag or ball? Sure. Just use Hopper and Trickster. If you want to be more tankier, use Defender. Or Crisis of you have it.

Hopper is a prime example of what I detest about this game.

Remove that stupid crap finish in top 3 places in the winner's team weekly mission. I got it 2 times in a row...

There was a time when I could achieve that goal; now, I remove that mission.

I haven't finished in the top 6 or 7 for a long time now (since the 16 vs 16) much less the top three.

It's a weekly mission. We can't remove it... This weekly mission is time consuming. I play CTF, enemy got 1 flag (in first 2-3 minutes), I "run". I play JGR, JGR in my team is dead (in first 2-3 minutes), I "run".

Like today, only 4 battles to finish all 3 daily missions. I was only in one in top 3. Annoying crap mission...

Could there be a shorten of Tesla turrent ball radius, if it is intended to be a medium ranged turrent.  then could there be a reduction in damage overall.

Sorry, I did not read that carefully.   When I see that as a daily mission I quickly change mission.

I hear what you are saying.  I've had that top 3 crap as a weekly mission and it took nearly a month to get it done.

I completely agree though - it should be removed from the weekly missions.

Just got out of an assault battle where ONE guy with Tesla and Hornet literally removed our entire team in one pass - just picking off tanks wherever they were.

The score, to no surprise, wound up 80 to 12.  Guess which team the Tesla guy was on?

please nerf viking. it is ruining all the fun from every single gamemode. i cannot enjoy anything anymore because of that hulls od. It drives everyone mad, and desbite several complaints, negative feedbackk, and obvius nummbers indicating, it has not been nerfed. this is priority number one.

You can suggest your idea here (don't forget you need to come up with a way to nerf it).

What on earth is it this time. What's the trash update this time? I'm a major general and I'm getting 300 - 500 cry for every battle, regardless of score or victory/defeat.

They should tho.  I've bought a few things by mistake as well, except they were in the garage when I was dumb enough to click confirm.

If they don't want to have to communicate with customers, they should add a refund button that expires after say a 5 minute window.

I'm thinking armour piercing shouldn't be able to penetrate Titan OD.  There's just already too many ways to negate it already, and with the rise of AP, it's becoming a sorta joke of an overdrive.

Trust me, many people including me have suggested way to change the titan OD behavior, like since a few years ago. Well obviously, the Devs care nothing about it since it doesn't generate profit

Tanki Moderation Slacking off again (8/4/21)

 

Hackers getting reported on the game reports chat and moderators are not doing a damn thing about it once again.

The was a hacker that was reported by 6 players on the chat and the report was ignored

A different hacker was reported by 3 players and he was ignored

Just now, one of my friends and I just encountered a hacker using striker hacks (aimbot and several other ones) and he was ignored too

 

If hacking is allowed now, just let me know. I know how to hack and I will start hacking if tanki continues to ignore hacker reports on the game reports channel. The rules say just this: "The following in-game activities are prohibited in the Game, Chats, Forums and any other official places of communication:
– use of bots, use of third-party software, exploitation of bugs;" I always thought that the use of third party software was regarded as hacking.

Fookin useless team mates

How is this balanced? I can't even destroy a tank, because I have to play against these high upgraded players. Look my gearscore and the other's.
