Attention, tankers!

The next week is going to be a mass test of your knowledge. Everyone, pull up the Tanki Wiki and stock up on all the important information. We are launching a new contest, code named “Erudite”.

For seven days, from August 24th until August 31st, from 13:00 UTC until 18:00 UTC, you just have to… play in Matchmaking battles. Is that all? Of course not!

A spectator can join your battle at any moment and ask a question related to the game. Your task will be to answer the question correctly within a short amount of time.

Spectators love very erudite tankers, so:

• If a question is answered during the first 30 seconds, the player who answered correctly first will get 1 container* and 10 gold boxes will be dropped in the game.
• However, if no one answers correctly or if someone answers after the 30 seconds are up, only one goldbox will be dropped.

*A container will be added to the account during the first 24 hours after the right answer.

Are you ready to become real erudites? Play in the Matchmaking battles every day from 13:00 UTC until 18:00 UTC, catch the spectators, and show us what you’ve got!

Hello, tankers!

Please welcome back the second edition of the old but gold Puzzles contest.

Do you read the announcements on the main page? In the next few days you will need to check all of them.

The idea is simple. We have an image – a screenshot taken in a Tanki battle. We have split it into 36 parts and hidden each part in the announcements on the main page.

The first 12 parts will appear on Friday, August 21st, right after the V-LOG, at 13:00 UTC. The next 12 parts will appear on Saturday, August 22nd, at 9:00 UTC, and the last parts will appear on Sunday, August 23rd, at 9:00 UTC. Be aware that this time puzzle parts of 1st day will disappear on 2nd day and so on.

Before you start looking for these parts, you will need to enter the special contest page, log in, and get your personal code. When you find a part of the puzzle, there will be a form for you to enter your code and an OK button to click on. Once you have done these steps, your progress is counted and you will be able to see how many parts you have already found. You can also track your progress on the contest page.

On Monday, August 24th at 9 UTC we will stop accepting entries and will start proceeding with the results. The fastest tankers will get following prizes:

• 1 place: 300 tankoins, 30 containers and 3 days of Premium Pass
• 2-10 place: 150 tankoins, 15 containers and 1 day of Premium Pass
• 11-50 place: 50 tankoins and 5 containers
• 51-100 place: 1 container

The first puzzle will appear in this article on Friday, August 21st, right after the V-LOG at 13:00 UTC. We wish you good luck and hope that you will like the new version of the contest.

Hey!

Thanks for your patience.

We had some issues in the game after releasing the Ares hull. Major bugs are fixed now and while we will be fixing the test you may enjoy a one day of Premium Pass for free!

Just enter the game (HTML5 version) during next 3 hours (till 15:15UTC), open “Missions > Special” and take your reward.

He promised to arrive, he arrived.

We are witnessing a historical Tanki Online event.

Please welcome! The «Ares» hull is in the game!

Our developers did an insane job. Hundreds of blueprints, calculations and unconventional decisions were made.

In the end we got the heavy, multi-tone machine to hover. Yes-yes, Ares is a heavy hull.

Hovering

Thanks to the never-ending work of its engines the Ares hull can hover over the ground with a small altitude.

When Ares is placed under enemy fire, it tries to return itself to a stable position. If the roll limit exceeds a certain maximum, the engines will fail and Ares will flip.

Movement mechanics

The uniquity of the hull movement is that it does not turn, but “strafes” in the given direction.

The hull will perfectly fit mobile gameplay. It is stable, has a lot of armour, and controlling it on the touch-screen is a pleasure.

There are two different possibilities to control the hull on the PC: keyboard + mouse and only keyboard.

• Keyboard + Mouse:
  • Hull moves forwards, backwards and to the side;
  • Strafing instead of turning the hull;
  • Strafe direction depends on the current camera position;
  • Forwards, backwards, left and right are always controlled by the camera position;
  • The hull turns with the camera.

• Keyboard only:
  • The hull is controlled like a usual tank.

Important: to switch to keyboard control, you need to disable mouse controls in the game settings.

Without disabling mouse controls, you cannot rotate the hull.

For those of you who don’t have a mouse — now is the perfect time to buy one!

BFG

BFG is the name of Ares’s unique Overdrive.

Remember the gun integrated into the hull? Here it is!

This overdrive shoots a plasma ball that looks just like a ball of lightning. It flies slowly and finally explodes when it hits a static obstacle, dealing splash damage.

The lightning ball strikes tanks that are within a certain distance of the ball. It heals allied tanks and deals damage to enemy tanks, ignoring their modules.

Ares’s Overdrive’s interactions with other Overdrives

The ball of plasma:

• might be shot down by Hunter’s electromagnetic pulse;
• explodes when contacting an enemy plasma ball;
• neutralizes itself when the protective shield generator is activated;
• can not be deactivated with Wasp’s N2-bomb.

Answer to the main question

Ares floats. What about mines? What about supply drops?

It’s simple. Ares’s hull is just like a magnet – it detonates mines and picks up supply drops just like any other hull.

Are you interested? Come into the Garage and get this masterpiece of technology!

By the way, especially for this occasion we have launched some interesting events. You can check them out here.

Ares ХТ + ultra containers = Happy tanker

Great news! The elite-XT skin for Ares will be in the updated ultra containers.

In the creation of this elite XT skin for Ares, the latest technology, an unknown alloy with classified chemical composition, and a lot of pure gold were used in order to make this skin even more exclusive and elegant.
