Are You Colorblind?

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

 

About 1 in 12 men are colorblind, and 1 in 200 women are colorblind.

I'm not one of them, but I'm pretty sure, with the stats mentioned above, there are fellow Tankers that are.

At least that's what I think it means.

I'm not colorblind, but recently I found out that some people I know are in fact colorblind. I didn't know it was common.

You've brought up a very interesting point...

I'm not colorblind, but I'd rather prefer being in the red team too sometimes. Red and Green would be a weird combination. We should be able to differentiate regions/sides of the map on the basis of color; we should be able to clearly identify the "red base" and the "blue base"...

It has nothing to do with colour blind people or christmas colours. The update was introduced to make it easier to identify teammates in battles. I'm pretty sure previously TO mobile still had the old Flash colour system where you could be in either red or blue team. This worked fine in tanki for many years, but then we got Hornet's radar overdrive, which allowed you to see enemy health bars. Ever since that got added, on multiple occasions I found myself ignoring enemy tanks because I assumed they were teammates due to their health bar being visible.

The HTML5 new interface fixed this by making your teammates always blue, and now TO mobile also caught up. I just don't understand why devs decided to opt for green-red instead of the more classic blue-red.

so in dm, we will all be green ?

This was my first thought when I read about this update, this is definitely an error which must be fixed. I'm not colour blind but yes, many people are - and I know quite a few who are too. Red/green colour blindness is I believe the most common form of colour blindness so for these tankers who is in the enemy / same team will now be quite the mystery. This needs to be hotfixed immediately, I would say.

It is good if the mobile version (which I don't use) is now catching up regarding the Hornet radar thing as Maf says - but yes it just can't be red and green unless they add an option to change it to other colours also.

Agreed. The reason why Red and Blue has worked for the past decade was that they contrasted each other very well. Also, I did some research, and from what I found, there is currently no known form of color-blindness that 100% hinders people from distinguishing red from blue. (unless if you have achromatopsia, which causes you to only see in black and white. But this condition only affects 1 in 30,000 people and I doubt if any of those people are also Tanki players)

Yeah, the Christmas Colors thing was a joke on my end lol.

Same here. I always associated green in Tanki with solo gamemodes, like Deathmatch. Seeing green in a two-team battle is weird to be honest.

Probably?

In Flash Tanki, we were all green in DM and Solo JGR.
But in HTML5 Tanki, in DM or Solo JGR, every enemy is red, while the tank we're controlling is blue.
