Erroneous

Okey Bro. https://rockymtnruby.com/what-is-hitscan/

I hope reading won't be hard.

Spoiler

Hitscan refers to a gunplay mechanic where-in simple calculations are used to determine target hits in shooter games. Hitscan uses raycasting technology to cast a straight ray from the gun's muzzle to the next point of contact. It does not fire an actual bullet from the gun but instead uses 2D imaging to determine a hit on a particular target.

This article will define hitscan and its various applications. It will differentiate hitscan from more advanced gunplay mechanics called projectile ballistics. It will also list games that use hitscan, projectile ballistics, and a hybrid system that combines hitscan and projectile ballistics.

 

Hitscan refers to the simple gun mechanics used in shooter games to determine whether a player hits a target or not.

It uses a method called raycasting to translate a 3D environment into a 2D plane and shoot a straight line from Point A, the gun, and Point B, the next point of contact. If the straight line intercepts the player's target object, this will register as a hit.

Furthermore, raycasting occurs at the speed of light. This means that the straight line cast from point A to point B occurs instantaneously. Thus, firing a shot from the gun will instantly deal damage to an opponent if successfully hit.

 

Hitscan only takes into consideration several points: the direction of the gun, the firing instance, and the register of the shot on the point of contact. At first glance, this seems to be the appropriate method to calculate hits in shooter games. It is the simplest mode of calculation to determine and ascertain hits.

I must say this new fund is a huge improvement over the last 3 we've had.

- Way less tiers than the last two.

- No mono paints. I'd take supplies taking up 6 slots over mono paints taking up 11 any day.

- A bit of diversity for augments instead of them just being all pulsars.

- There's more main rewards and they're spread more evenly throughout the tiers rather than being crammed at the very end.

So this is by far the best fund I'll be participating in.

Only downside would obviously be the increased price. And I don't know about the whole booster thing.

[Tekken 374]

I am just happy there are not pulsars at all   Good decision tanki.  

[x_Sorinel_x 552]

So free players can reach only level 20 ? Maximum booster is 10. Buyers can stop at level 20 and just buy boosters to reach level 30.

I got a feeling that price will increase at each booster bought... Like first booster a price, 2 higher, 3 higher, 4 booster higher, 5 higher.

Not much value in this fund for me personally, aside from UTs and Skin Containers. 

Shaft Jammer - meh... I already have Healing Emitters and AP.. pass

Crisis Drone - recycled reward.. pass

Magnum Freezing - I don't play Magnum, and even if I did, it seems quite pointless to me... okay I slow down someone on the other side of the map, now what? .. pass

Armadillo Module - recycled reward, again.. pass

Vulcan Freezing - could be useful depending on the crit rate, but I am not sure, freezing augments have never been meta.. alright, I guess?

Twins GT - ah yes, HD Twins with a couple of stripes slapped on it, nice. PASS

Smoky Hyperspeed - trying to hit anything with Smoky past mid-range is a nightmare on itself, why use this augment just to miss every shot, when you can use way, way better options? .. pass

Mammoth GT - puking_sound_effects.mp3

Firebird Critical Mix - I have no idea what it does, increase critical rate? EDIT: Description of the augment added: against top legends with 50% Armadillo is just going to be a stock Firebird, we'll see. .. alright, I guess..?

 

So.. yeah, pretty bad I'd say. 

hahaha, y'all want the greatest rewards for 1.4k tankoins you tweakin lil bro

Complaining and still will buy it LOL

That's not correct. Free players can reach the last 30th checkpoint as well, however they have to rely on the purchase power of the collective just like in the previous funds. For buyers, it is also more  favorable for the fund to reach last checkpoint naturally as they wont be forced to purchase what I presume to be a rather pricy Booster offer. However, some buyers may find the 10 Booster offers to be more profitable than trying to boost the fund through purchasing multiple shop offers at later stages of the fund. We will have to see how good/bad the Booster offer will actually be and how will the fund be developing with time.

Go and quote the exact phrase in which I said I wanted the best rewards for 1.4k.

Do you have proof of this as well? Or is this your projection of you complaining about the past minigames and still buying them?

[WieLKo-PoLski 318]

Good fund, and as I was expecting, cheapest bundle would be more expensive and it really is. 1390 Tankoins when I have 1186. And how am I supposed to get them from challenges, daily missions, cake when game keeps crashing, loading quickly to 99% and then nothing and kick out due to "inactivity"... Premium is running away.

I'll wait for Token of Apology with like 150 or more Tankoins and as many days of Premium Accounts as long those attacks will be.

I don't want to pass, but if such attacks continue to appear for the whole celebrations, I will be forced to...

 i said greatest not best, there are some good rewards but not the greatest. Minigames isn't the topic, and ofc i complain about things but you know damn well this Tanki Fund is better than last time, keep it pushing and buy that fund for yo cheap ahh

Where is Railgun XT?

No more filler items, gonna be a great fund. Make sure you all participate!

I don't think we all have the amenities for that, big boi

[Muscularity 160]

I still don't get it why the minimum bundle prize got increased from 990 tankoins to 1390 tankoins. I thought having at least 1k already saved for this future tanki fund will be good but for some reason this tanki fund is more expensive than others, but it's not even better than the others. Can't wait for compensation of something like that

[Sol.Sun 2]

FREEZING BAND FOR VULCAN can be purchased for 245,000 crystals. Why is that?

[eagle9191 0]

What is this? On the Tanki Fund website under the details tab, the "Doping" bundle says its 1000 tk but in the shop it says 1390. Will we be getting token of apology? The prices stated don't match up.

Edited June 7, 2024 by eagle9191
Nvm, it adds that amount. First time here. Why go from 990 to 1390?

If you buy the bundle it adds 1000 tks to the prize pull.

[totallyarmed 57]

The fund is nice, ONLY if a greater number of tiers is reached.

there's only 30 this time, way better than 50 in my opinion, and a legendary key at 25, so in total we get 4 legendary keys.

along with that, there's 2 GT skins, making it 6 skins in total.

Plus, there's an increased number of supplies and nuclear energy and firebird critical mix augment that i'm looking forward to.

The risen entry price was a minor setback, but i guess the 4 legendary keys will be worth it. 

Best of luck to all those participating!

[Biome 166]

This fund is really awesome with 6 cool skins! And its easier to reach this time. I wish good luck to those participating. Thanks to tanki developers for their hard work on creating new augments and new events for us to enjoy!! Thank you so much! I will participate

You sound like a bot.

[Macabre 207]

I don't foresee this fund reaching anywhere near the later tears 

[krokorok 836]

Little personal analysis if 30 tiers are reached:

 

40 Nuclear Energies - kinda meh, barely anyone ever uses these, but I guess you can turn them into 40 Hopper jumps for Gold box if you are desperate enough to turn them into some sort of profit

120 Epic Keys - this is definitely a good value and amount, especially now when you can save the keys for whenever there is a good thing in Ultras that you want, it certainly will get you closer to that 300 checkpoint for Exotic reward.

65 Rare Keys - 6500 of each supply (I will count here 500 of each supply from Tiers 4-8), total of 7 000 of each supply and 325 000 Crystals  - pretty good amount for any player that still needs supplies, this will keep your meta drones running for quite some time while crystals can be invested in upgrades or possible purchase of steps in minigames if they will actually come to their senses about the price of steps purchasable for crystals (3mils for 3 steps is too much Tanki, wink).

30 Regular Keys - at the very worst, this is 20 000 crystals and another 100 to 200 of each supply, at best you will luck out and get something from the upper categories

Reused Rewards (Armadillo, Crisis, Module Slot) - These are 3 empty tiers for old players and past fund participants, but fair enough for whatever is left of newer playerbase, lets be honest, newcomers receive the short end of the stick most of the time, so I guess its fair to let them get these items to catch up with the old gang.

6 Skins -   2 guaranteed GT skins + 4 Legendary Skin Containers - the GTs aren't my favorite line and I feel most of the playerbase agrees, but I guess its still better than the default skins, the 4 Skin containers can be a huge hit or miss, depends on how much of the legacy trash you already collected, and how many skins you already have, but it still is a good value given that the Elite passes give you just 1 Skin container for the same price while you also have to work much harder for them, so this is still a huge win.

5 Augments:

Jamming Shaft - turning off Defender and Crisis looks nice on paper, but I am pessimistic this will dethrone Healing Emitters or Rapid Fire, I dont see jamming augments much around these days.

Magnum Freezing Core - the freezing effect lacks the synergy with Magnum that tends to camp and hit from afar imho, but we will see if it will apply the freezing effect on every hit like some other freezing augments or if it will act like the nerfed AP Magnum, might be good for easier escapes from incoming enemies and tunning down the incoming damage.

Vulcan Freezing Band - honestly this does not look that bad, Vulcan can struggle with agile targets from distance, so slowing them down might help it a lot.

Smoky Hyperspeed - I think this might be the weaker of the hyperspeed augments given the difficulty of delivering the projectile at larger distances, but we should not underestimate the Smoky mains

Firebird Critical Mix - given how far this is placed, it will likely be the closest thing to overpowered this fund offers, but I predict it will be toned down  because it will be everywhere the first few days and weeks as many players will be trying it in battles and in return many others will be thus trying to counter this spam with Armadillo, might actually be better later when the hype goes down and people get back to their old ways and old broken equipment.

 

For 1400 Tkns, I think this defo is worth it if the fund reaches at least 25th level.

Edited June 7, 2024 by krokorok

[PirateSpider 1,489]

I too am unsure if we will be able to reach at least 20 tiers, let alone 30.

It doesn't help that the entry fee is 1400 tks. But what I think makes it worse is how frequent these types of events are. Some of the players who had 1400 tks at some point in the last few months may have used some or all of it in events like team contracts, sakura blossom, build&fight, etc.

We will have to see in the coming weeks.

[x_Sorinel_x 552]

Reach level 25 and I'm going to participate. I just like to collect skins... 1400 tankoins for 2 skins = 2 battle passes.

I have used Firebird Critical Mix in the Test Server battles and it seemed to be very good.

Probably is.......then the nerf kicks in when the devs have made enough cash from it and they put the nerf down to all the players complaining about it, not to mention the prices just keep going up every time.

You lot never, ever learn.

 Booster will be another cash grab aimed at the ones with no brain activity, that would be the buyers.

Can't have an update or an event without your invaluable input.

I really do despair at times.

Decent summary.

But let's not forget, whatever is broken in this fund "WILL" get nerfed.

Conclusion: The devs make cash, the players get scammed.

Looking on the bright side.

It's nice to see that no one will fall for this because of lessons learned over many, many years.
