If i see hyperspeed i will use magnum ap and make him target with hornet overdrive, iq 1000. That is really bad they care only about buyers omg what are we gonna do . 

While there are a few smart techniques we can use to counter buyers, they won't be as good as they sound in theory.

1) Hornet OD lasts 30 secs and takes roughly 4 mins to load. Buyer's Hyperspeed shells reload in 3 seconds and can oneshot you from the furthest point of the map, ESPECIALLY if hornet is your hull. You may try and bypass this by using Nuclear energies per se, but that's a temporary solution.

2) He can equip AP immunity, 50% Magnum prot and 50% Armadillo. (that totally nullifies your magnum)

3) While your team can see his location with Hornet's OD, that doesn't mean they'll make it all the way to where he's camping.... alive. 

Conclusion: Hyperspeed shells if too OP to contend with and imo it's worse than Helios. F2P can only combat this when we max crisis (will take until next 50% sales), are in maximum armor mode and have 50% prot for Thunder. Then, we'll be able to counter Hyperspeed users better. Unfortunately, I see a massive nerf to Crisis before the next 50% off sales. Developers KNOW that we all intend to max our crisis on Tanker's day. My theory is, they won't allow us to max the OP version of the drone.

Tanki only wants buyers they couldn't care less about F2Ps.

I agree to an extent. 

They obviously care about buyers more because if buyers are happy and dominating battles, they have greater incentive to keep buying bundles and everything else .... more cash for developers. (Maximizing profits is the point of every business).

They care about F2P players to an EXTENT. They just want to keep us happy enough to stay in the game. How do they do this? I'll tell you;

1) Giving us rare/OP items once in a while to make us THINK we can compete with buyers. example 1 - 4th prot slot (I personally thought it would revolutionize my gameplay, how wrong I was, it barely made a difference). example 2 - crisis and armadillo (we all think battles will be even now... Hazel has other ideas because his mission is to keep Buyers (the players who fund the game) happy.

 2) giving us things to please us but they won't actually help us in battle. example 1 - skin containers (they know it won't make us better in battle so they can afford to give it solely to aesthetically please us). Example 2- shot effects like Blaster.

3) Lots of ultra weekends/ events to keep us engaged in the game. We see the Ultras we can earn from the missions so we grind to get them thinking we can get an OP augment and 99.99% of the time we get supplies and paints. But it's the HOPE of OP augments that'll make us keep grinding even next time. 

4) giving us nerfed versions of OP augments in Battle passes/ containers. When we see it in the battle pass we THINK they are still OP, but they're nowhere near the strength of when they came out. But once again, the HOPE of having the OP version of the augment entices us and keep us in the game longer. example 1 - Blunderbuss in October challenge. example 2 - Electroturret in July challenge. example 3 - Fast shooting twins augment (don't know the name) in July challenge. 

Conclusion: These cycles will never go away cos they're Tanki's way of appeasing buyers to earn thousands and simultaneously keeping F2P players happy ENOUGH to keep playing. You just have to decide if you're happy with that:

If yes and you and enjoy the game, keep playing and appreciate the times the devs treat F2P players well (eg this Tanki fund) OR consider becoming a buyer yourself.......

If no and you hate the cycle and the dynamic of buyers dominating all modes, consider leaving the game cos I assure you it won't change in that aspect.

I hope no one complains about my points. My analysis was honest and fair to all parties: the developers, the buyers and the F2P players.

I play this game long time, i was disappointed by developers decisions and updates hundreds of times since 2016 and i still will be but since i achieved my dreams in tanki, crisis was my last wish i no longer really care about what they will do and accept that they dont care about us. I have my wasp thunder mk7 and i will have crisis to do craziest omp tricks i can think of.

Exactly like me, I started in 2012, my last goal was to get armadillo and crisis, no care about if I can fully upgrade them or not (and use crisis or not).

When did I ever say I  was searching for people who have armadillo to see how they play. You have some serious problems with your reading comprehension. If you waste all of your crystals upgrading everything without maybe seeing it in battle, and how it performs, then you are either deluded or a buyer. 

You act like you can tell how it will do by somebody else using it.  It's not like being on the receiving end of a turrets shots - where you do actually experience something. My point is you can't "see" how something like performs. 

And what do Legends have to spend their crystals on anyway?  Upgrading high-end items.  D'uh!

I hope to see crisis nerf as soon as possible. 

They made mistake when they put it in fund. 

I myself bought bundle also for tanki fund, but i didn't want crisis in it. 

+Now I dont have crisis drone and I dont need it, I prefer driver drone more. 

It is gonna be huge mess since now everyone will camp with stupid crisis (only spamming boosted damage) and no one will go to cap points, flags, ball... 

Because campers likes to rekt other and pump their stupid k/d. 

I still dont know how why doesnt tanki remove that stupid thing forever.

Imagine bunch of noobs with crisis using striker, gauss, magnum, shaft, smoky, railgun camping in map "Brest" and constantly shooting you with 60% boosted damage of crisis while you try your best to capture. 

So stupid. 

 

 

Campers will use the Camper drone - it's significantly better for this purpose. Crisis becomes vulnerable in damage mode - speed mode as well. You overestimate this drone.

So you are the type of person to be like "I see a man put his hand in a fire and he is in massive pain, but who cares about my visual experience, I am going to put my hand in the fire as well just to see it for myself". Yeah, cool, you can roll like that I wont.

I don't want Crisis to get nerfed but if it does get nerfed I'll understand. I just hope they don't nerf it too much. IMO, if they decrease damage boost to like +40%, decrease speed boost to +50% and decrease armor boost to +60% I think that would be fair. in fact, I'd rather they didn't nerf crisis and instead introduced Crisis 2.0 for buyers (can have 2 active supply boosts simultaneously). 

But ultimately I'm not a developer and whatever they do, they do.

I had plans to do this with AP Gauss and Crusader but now I'm leaning towards a more attacking style of play with Crisis, Viking and Hammer (since I'll have every Hammer augment once we get EMP pellets from the fund). That way I have a good chance of actually capping in modes like Rugby and CTF, and can still hopefully get lots of kills, which I love doing. 

Unfortunately this play style is not sustainable with Crisis considering I only have around 30k of each supply, so my Booster (Brutus 2.0) will remain my predominant drone

Yeah icl there was good thought in his plan but a buyer could easily outwit him. AP immunity, Armadillo equipped and the Hyperspeed user would be fine.

Crisis is terrible for trying to cap since you have to either sacrifice speed or armour - unfortunately you can’t get very far with the flag because of that.

Any strong combination ideas involving crisis that you can give? Booster drone is finished and I'm tired of it, and my Trickster (which I'd prefer to use as main drone over booster) isn't upgraded enough to use in MM.

Can Anyone give me the odds of getting tankoins if i enter the fund? Is it worth it to buy for a non buyer? Im a little indecisive rn as i already lost on the previous fund.

Any help is appreciated!

Try a high burst damage turret with Crisis like Thunder, Rail, Magnum or even Helios Rico. Just don’t try to cap flags if you’re up against a competent team lol.

I think is 1 in 8. Even if you don’t win the tankoins, the rewards are well worth the 990 tankoins
