Now I remember why I stopped playing...

[Eithern 412]

After almost a year, out of curiosity, I decided to log in and see what the Halloween festivities had to offer.
Well, it's nice to see that Tanki has become even worse than last time c'mon guys, someone can explain how a fully upgraded mammoth could be one-shotted by a thunder or an hammer? I've to quit and retry 5-6 times to join a battle that is not unbalanced and/or full of 9999 legends in the enemy team (see also this similar topic).

I have been here for more than 10 years so believe me, Tanki was actually fun back in the days, yes we had the so called "druggers", players who were constantly using supplies, but no more than this, no overdrives, drones, augments, ecc. what made some players stronger than others was their tecnique. And I was one of them, I liked to join unbalanced battles in the losing team and try my best to overturn the situation, or at least make the life harder for those druggers (I rarely used supplies so I had plenty of them for the emergencies). My K/D was always positive, some times even higher than 10 (ah, the dear old 1-hour-long battles...) with different combinations of hulls and turrets.

What about now? With all the new features of the last years a big gap between players has formed, how could one have fun when as you enter the battle there are always some 9999 GS with crisis or other OP things that obliterate you and your team? Skill no longer count here, no matter if you're a top player because if you need 3 fully upgraded railgun shots to destroy a tank that one-shots you with a medium-range you can do NOTHING. I even tried with my girlfriend account, with viking/mammoth + twins, a combo that until some years ago was very powerful thanks to the continuous fire rate that makes impossible to heal. Well, I was brutally beaten up most of the time, my shots only tickled the enemies
What do you say? Go and buy a crisis drone too? LOL I've already have it, but I don't like this style of playing. Let's think about it, if everyone have to continuosly activate supplies all the time, just make them permanently active, or better remove them from the game (but they will never do this). What's the point to play with a brick on the keybord numbers?
I managed to overcome this by becoming a pseudo-camper, and with my miner drone I took the role of defender with only brief expedition in the enemy territories, and this way I kept my K/D ratio acceptable. But now they removed it so I have no chances to be a crucial player like before.

Indeed, the only modes that I still enjoy and nearly dominate are the festive ones without supplies, drones and the other stuff, where we start from the same base and the experience, skill and strategies are what makes the difference. Is it asking to much to rethink the whole situation and make the necessary adjustment? If the want to continuosly add new items, then make Tanki like a MMORPG, so we can buy/earn a lot of stuff and customize our tanks with dozens of things. And so if a players really is strong, it's because he's a veteran.

What do you think? Do you have any suggestion for enjoying the MM battles, apart from not playing them?

fully upgraded mammoth could be one-shotted by a thunder or an hammer

Thunder critical damage 1200,

Criss drone boost 60%,

Double damage boost 100%,

1200  x 2.6 = 3120 damage in one shot,

So he may use vaccum shell to splash 220% of 60% normal damage or anvil of 10% extra n 45% extra normal or sledge gammer 45% extra normal or super speed shell 300% of 60% of normal damage , i think only super speed shell / sledge hammer / anvil augment can make it one shot

 

Any way, it is possible to deal 4000 damage in 1 shot if you have no protection or under arm piece status effect,, use ap immu if have and use drone, (no max drone = 50% less protoction for protection supply) and use thunder protection module, since now you can have 4 module to protect aganst guns

Hammer critical damage 1360,

W criss 1360 x 2.6 = 3536 damage, unless quick double / triple augment shot or with Blunderbuss extra 75% extra damage or Large Caliber Pellets extra 70% damage, so i think they use those augment to 1 shot you.

You need to the super expensive amodile module to protect from critical damage from hammer, which cost 6.3M crystal plus total

You need to active play 1-2 year to get protections above from ground zero to survive current tank (which i have)

Also be prepare for the new grenade supply, which may need new protection or upgrade later on

It's very rare to meet someone(at least for me) who has the crisis drone, but if I see it I do this:

I have them too, and like us a lot of players did the same. So now if you don't use one of this OP things you simply can't enjoy a battle, or at least you've to hide most of the time.

Yes it's mostly bad now. I've been playing polygon DM a lot with supplies turned off.

Yes, all true. It was fun till it lasted. Now it's a different game. And it's Hazel's way or take a hike.

PRO battels are kinda a sanctuary of old tanki. If you lucky to find any such battles.
