00:00:16,219 --> 00:00:17,307
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:18,001 --> 00:00:24,025
Some say that, a Friday without the V-LOG
would cause the earth to start spinning in

3
00:00:24,349 --> 00:00:26,720
the opposite direction…

4
00:00:26,072 --> 00:00:31,154
I really have no idea whether that’s true
or not, but let’s not find out.

5
00:00:32,055 --> 00:00:33,109
In today’s episode…

6
00:00:34,007 --> 00:00:36,029
Star Series Results…

7
00:00:36,093 --> 00:00:38,162
Ivanych on the new update…

8
00:00:39,062 --> 00:00:41,084
and May Holidays in Tanki.

9
00:00:42,016 --> 00:00:42,104
Let’s start!

10
00:00:44,078 --> 00:00:51,114
Last week was all about Star Series, which
ended with what’s probably one of the most

11
00:00:52,015 --> 00:00:56,015
intense grand finals we’ve ever had in Tanki.

12
00:00:56,015 --> 00:01:03,093
GGWP entered the battle with a head start
of 1:0, but this advantage didn’t stop Arcade

13
00:01:03,093 --> 00:01:05,125
from securing the victory.

14
00:01:06,025 --> 00:01:09,060
Arcade eSports are the champions!

15
00:01:09,006 --> 00:01:14,048
By the way, this is the team’s 4th major
tournament win in a row!

16
00:01:15,002 --> 00:01:23,014
Arcade came out victorious from the 8th Clan
Championship, as well as 3 seasons of Star Series!

17
00:01:23,015 --> 00:01:30,072
For those who, for some reason, didn’t manage
to catch any of the battles on this busy eSports week,

18
00:01:30,072 --> 00:01:34,150
we’ve prepared a brief review of all
6 final matches.

19
00:01:35,051 --> 00:01:38,128
It’s waiting for you right now on the homepage.

20
00:01:39,028 --> 00:01:40,066
The link is below.

21
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:47,020
Of course, right now, eSports fans are probably
wondering, “What’s next?”

22
00:01:47,002 --> 00:01:50,040
Next, everything goes according to the plan.

23
00:01:50,059 --> 00:01:57,114
The preparations are underway for the 4th
season of Am, Semi, Pro and of course Star Series.

24
00:01:58,014 --> 00:01:59,076
It all starts in May.

25
00:02:01,006 --> 00:02:07,102
On a final note, if you’ve been wanting
a more casual and fun eSports experience,

26
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:10,092
you will LOVE the Hexathlon event.

27
00:02:10,092 --> 00:02:17,130
It’s an awesome chance for you to grab some
of your friends and win up to 400 000 crystals

28
00:02:18,031 --> 00:02:23,113
per team member, using almost any combination
of turrets and hulls!

29
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:28,092
Registrations are open till April 29.

30
00:02:28,092 --> 00:02:30,178
All the info is on the homepage.

31
00:02:31,078 --> 00:02:32,136
The link is below.

32
00:02:36,008 --> 00:02:41,016
This Thursday, we made a number of corrections
to the game’s balance.

33
00:02:41,016 --> 00:02:44,112
The changes affected basically all turrets
and hulls.

34
00:02:45,012 --> 00:02:49,021
How has the update affected the balance of
forces in the game?

35
00:02:50,002 --> 00:02:54,048
Let’s ask our independent expert Ivanych!

36
00:02:55,088 --> 00:03:00,140
This week the developers of Tanki Online rolled
out some changes to the parameters of turrets

37
00:03:01,041 --> 00:03:02,055
and hulls.

38
00:03:02,055 --> 00:03:06,119
Which is good – the balance should be worked
on continuously, as it never stands still,

39
00:03:07,019 --> 00:03:10,090
always shifting one way or another over time.

40
00:03:10,009 --> 00:03:12,012
Let’s start with turrets.

41
00:03:12,093 --> 00:03:14,122
Firebird’s burning damage has been increased.

42
00:03:15,022 --> 00:03:19,073
But will THAT help it rule the battlefield?
Veeery good question.

43
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:24,079
That’s because now, the slight malady caused
by Firebird, can easily be cured by taking

44
00:03:25,033 --> 00:03:29,065
one dose of Repair Kit, or consulting an experienced
Isida.

45
00:03:29,065 --> 00:03:31,137
Any burning sensations will cease.

46
00:03:32,097 --> 00:03:36,145
Freeze has received an increase in damage
and faster recharge speed, but a decrease

47
00:03:37,045 --> 00:03:38,066
in amount of energy.

48
00:03:38,066 --> 00:03:43,111
So, the new Freeze deals damage faster, which,
on paper, should make it more efficient.

49
00:03:44,011 --> 00:03:50,023
Also, the gun freezes enemy hulls less effectively
than before, while turrets are slowed down

50
00:03:50,023 --> 00:03:51,036
a lot more.

51
00:03:51,036 --> 00:03:55,082
But the most drastic change is the longer
freezing effect, which slows down gameplay

52
00:03:55,083 --> 00:03:56,091
quite a lot.

53
00:03:57,026 --> 00:04:01,865
Another thing to note is that Firebird and
Freeze have had their effective range decreased

54
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:03,000
by half.

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,004
So, remember that now the full damage of these
turrets is done at distances of up to 5 meters!

56
00:04:09,098 --> 00:04:13,190
Isida received an increase in amount of energy,
recharge speed and range, but a decrease in

57
00:04:14,009 --> 00:04:15,009
cone width.

58
00:04:15,009 --> 00:04:19,808
Now it’s pretty hard to lock Isida on an
enemy tank in close range combat, but at the

59
00:04:20,699 --> 00:04:25,490
distance of 10 meters or more, it has become
more efficient than ever.

60
00:04:25,049 --> 00:04:30,008
From what I understand, this was done for
the sake of separating Firebird, Freeze and

61
00:04:30,449 --> 00:04:32,515
Isida in terms of their effective ranges.

62
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:37,120
Hammer now has a slightly longer reload time
and a wider cone of pellets.

63
00:04:38,002 --> 00:04:42,008
These changes are so insignificant that you
may easily overlook them.

64
00:04:42,008 --> 00:04:44,100
Nevertheless, Hammer has obviously been nerfed.

65
00:04:46,048 --> 00:04:50,055
Twins’ full damage range has been decreased
by half, to 15 meters.

66
00:04:51,018 --> 00:04:54,257
On the other hand, many other parameters have
been improved.

67
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:59,860
Now, Twins is much more powerful in close
range battles and significantly less powerful

68
00:04:59,086 --> 00:05:00,094
when attacking from a distance.

69
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:07,008
Ricochet has received a slight increase in
effective range, reload speed, impact force,

70
00:05:07,009 --> 00:05:10,033
projectile speed and even projectile size!

71
00:05:10,033 --> 00:05:13,099
However, as in case of Hammer, no profound
changes.

72
00:05:14,033 --> 00:05:19,094
Smoky’s standard damage has been increased
while its critical damage has been decreased.

73
00:05:19,094 --> 00:05:23,177
All in all, Smoky is now more effective for
its owner, and at the same time, less of an

74
00:05:24,077 --> 00:05:25,161
irritation for enemies.

75
00:05:27,002 --> 00:05:32,021
Vulcan has had an increase in burning self-damage,
which works the same way as the damage caused

76
00:05:32,021 --> 00:05:33,059
by Firebird.

77
00:05:33,059 --> 00:05:38,096
Turret rotation speed when firing has also
slowed down a bit. It is said that the impact

78
00:05:38,096 --> 00:05:42,101
force has also been decreased, but Vulcan
players still blow away my tanks pretty much

79
00:05:43,046 --> 00:05:43,130
like before.

80
00:05:44,075 --> 00:05:48,100
Thunder has received an increase in damage
and a decrease in firing rate, which looks

81
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,479
like an advancement, because having high one-time
damage is great!

82
00:05:53,479 --> 00:05:56,560
Splash damage mechanism has also been reworked.

83
00:05:56,056 --> 00:06:01,056
Previously, to deal maximum damage, it was
enough to hit next to the enemy tank.

84
00:06:01,056 --> 00:06:05,135
Now you’ve to hit the enemy tank directly,
so you have to aim better.

85
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:10,550
Railgun has received a handy increase in firing
rate and impact force on high ranks, while

86
00:06:10,055 --> 00:06:14,060
Shaft has received a boost to damage per shot
when in arcade mode.

87
00:06:15,005 --> 00:06:18,009
Now shooting without the scope is a much better
option than before.

88
00:06:19,012 --> 00:06:21,024
Now, let’s take a look at the hulls.

89
00:06:21,024 --> 00:06:24,040
Wasp and Hornet have received an increase
in weight.

90
00:06:24,004 --> 00:06:26,833
Wasp also received an increase in acceleration.

91
00:06:27,229 --> 00:06:33,267
However, because of large-scale turret improvements,
light hulls often suffer even more than ever.

92
00:06:34,009 --> 00:06:37,047
The developers decided to swap Hunter and
Viking once again.

93
00:06:37,047 --> 00:06:40,054
So Hunter’s weight has decreased while Viking’s
has increased.

94
00:06:41,084 --> 00:06:46,166
Additionally, maneuverability for Hunter,
Dictator, Titan and Mammoth has been increased,

95
00:06:47,066 --> 00:06:49,068
which means they now turn faster.

96
00:06:50,016 --> 00:06:53,024
All in all developers are heading in the
right direction.

97
00:06:53,096 --> 00:06:57,122
I consider the new changes to the parameters
of most turrets as suitable.

98
00:06:58,072 --> 00:07:03,144
Hulls though, require quite a lot more attention:
light hulls are often lacking protection while

99
00:07:04,044 --> 00:07:06,105
heavies need more agility.

100
00:07:07,005 --> 00:07:12,006
And the main thing, distinguishing hulls
from each other even more, making them individual.

101
00:07:12,078 --> 00:07:17,082
I encourage everyone to test the new update
in person and share impressions on the Tanki

102
00:07:18,018 --> 00:07:23,055
forum, so that the game designers can take
your opinion into account when making upcoming

103
00:07:23,055 --> 00:07:26,083
changes to the parameters of turrets and hulls.

104
00:07:26,083 --> 00:07:28,127
Which, I hope, are not too far off.

105
00:07:30,052 --> 00:07:34,128
Along with balance tweaks, the update brought
a number of other small,

106
00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:37,052
but pretty handy changes.

107
00:07:37,052 --> 00:07:40,096
All the info about them is on Tanki website.

108
00:07:50,004 --> 00:07:53,011
A V-LOG without a video of the week?

109
00:07:54,001 --> 00:07:55,085
Inconceivable!

110
00:07:55,094 --> 00:07:57,180
Let’s check out the best clip for this week.

111
00:08:14,006 --> 00:08:15,034
Tankers!

112
00:08:15,034 --> 00:08:21,953
Just a week left till the 1st of May, and
we’ve already received a lot of questions

113
00:08:22,259 --> 00:08:26,315
about what we’ve been preparing for the
holidays this year…

114
00:08:26,082 --> 00:08:28,483
Time to tell you all about it!

115
00:08:29,221 --> 00:08:34,240
Get ready for a whopping 11 days of May holidays!

116
00:08:34,024 --> 00:08:36,090
4 days of double battle funds,

5 days of gold boxes worth between 5000 and
9000 crystals,

118
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,440
and of course, discounts:

119
00:08:45,044 --> 00:08:49,363
25% off turrets, hulls and paints,

50% off micro-upgrades

and 80% off speed-ups!

122
00:08:56,018 --> 00:09:03,100
Of course, the game will feature themed decorations:
a holiday paint as well as unique flags, billboards

123
00:09:04,009 --> 00:09:05,015
and parachutes.

124
00:09:05,005 --> 00:09:09,087
And one last thing, something entirely new…

125
00:09:10,329 --> 00:09:17,230
On the 9th of May, you’ll be able to purchase
a special pass that will provide you with

00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:20,071
UNLIMITED SUPPLIES for a full day…

For just 70 crystals!

128
00:09:23,012 --> 00:09:28,014
Unlimited supplies, 9000 crystal gold boxes…

129

You got it, right?

130
00:09:29,009 --> 00:09:31,061
This will be one hell of a gold hunt!

131
00:09:35,046 --> 00:09:39,050
That’s it, tankers, time to wrap up another
V-LOG.
