00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:17,779
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:17,779 --> 00:00:24,680
In today’s episode of the V-LOG we’ll
tell you about upcoming changes to TO and

3
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,539
the process of making sounds for the new Tanki.

4
00:00:28,539 --> 00:00:36,679
We’ll also help you become even better players, thanks to another bunch of tips from an experienced tanker.

5
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,380
Let’s go!

6
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:46,690
Guys, in the past two weeks we’ve received
quite a lot of complaints about lags in Tanki.

7
00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:53,820
We are aware of the issue, and we are doing
our best to solve it as soon as possible.

8
00:00:53,820 --> 00:01:00,760
Last week, we released not one, but several
updates, aimed at fixing the situation.

9
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:04,909
Just a little more time and all will get back
to normal.

10
00:01:04,909 --> 00:01:07,389
Thank you for your patience and support!

11
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Now, something exciting for those of you who,
for some reason, play Tanki less than they

12
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,040
would like to, and can’t keep up with friends…

13
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Or simply want MORE from the game!

14
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,300
In the upcoming weeks, we’ll be releasing
a feature that’s been speculated on since

15
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:31,900
the very birth of Tanki — Premium Account.

16
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:36,600
Intrigued? Then let’s get all the info right
now!

17
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,569
The upcoming update is aimed mainly at those
who want to rank up and get access to new

18
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:44,039
equipment faster…

19
00:01:44,039 --> 00:01:50,409
or are simply looking to get something new
from Tanki, whether it’s unique content

20
00:01:50,409 --> 00:01:52,990
or the ability to stand out.

21
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:58,640
With a Premium Account, these tankers will
be getting a whole list of advantages.

22
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,459
First of all, tankers with a premium account
will be receiving 50% more experience points

23
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:08,509
and crystals in every battle.

24
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:15,150
Secondly, unique content: while the account
is active, a player will have a special paint

25
00:02:15,150 --> 00:02:20,330
with 20% protections against mines and all
turrets.

26
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:27,120
Additionally, he will be able to buy kits
that include XT items in the Garage!

27
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,380
A premium tanker will be easy to distinguish
in battles, as well as in chats and forums,

28
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:37,110
thanks to a special rank icon.

29
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:42,040
For those, who would rather stay under the
radar, there will be the option to change

30
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,060
back to the standard rank icon in settings.

31
00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:53,140
On top of all that, players with Premium Accounts
will also have access to PRO Battle Pass features.

32
00:02:53,140 --> 00:03:00,840
This means they’ll be able to create Pro battles with custom settings, as well as participate in them.

33
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Premium Accounts will be purchased in the game’s payments section, just like crystals,

34
00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:08,900
but on a different screen.

35
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:15,720
There will be two options available: a subscription
for one month, or for three months.

36
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,840
Premium Account days will also be awarded
as a bonus for purchasing crystal packs.

37
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Work on the Premium Account is close to being
concluded. The feature will be added to Tanki

38
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,730
in the following weeks.

39
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:33,900
And to give players the opportunity to check it out,

40
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:41,840
upon launching the update we’ll be giving one day of premium FOR FREE to all tankers in the game.

41
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Stay tuned!

42
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:54,320
With each episode of the V-LOG we give you
more and more info on the upcoming Tanki on Unity.

43
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Today’s story will be about the game’s
sounds.

44
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
So, let’s watch it… and listen of course.

45
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,340
Sound…

46
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:11,960
An essential component of any computer game.

47
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:19,030
Unfortunately, it is often neglected by developers,
ending up in the shadow of graphics… which

48
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:21,120
is not right of course.

49
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,810
The roar of the engine, the crackle of tracks
on tarmac, the BOOM of the turret…

50
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:33,720
All of this is as important as detailed models
and advanced lighting.

51
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,470
We totally understand that, which is why we’re
paying so much attention to the sounds in

52
00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:41,120
the new Tanki.

53
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,080
We want to find a balance between novelty,
and familiarity.

54
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,140
On the one hand, it’s an all-new game, on
the other — it’s TO’s successor, so

55
00:04:49,150 --> 00:04:51,440
everything needs to sound recognizable.

56
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,190
In other words, an experienced tanker should
be able to understand what’s happening in

57
00:04:55,190 --> 00:04:57,000
the game with his eyes closed.

58
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,740
This also means you’ll easily be able to
understand what’s firing at you.

59
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:08,960
Each turret will have a sound that is easy
to recognize, but also a lot more detailed

60
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,840
and complex than before.

61
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:15,260
We’re paying special attention to engine
sounds.

62
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:22,760
In the current Tanki, these consist of 3 elements
— idling, acceleration, and full speed.

63
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,210
In the new game, the engine’s sound will
closely reflect the tank’s speed, as well

64
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:30,639
as the activation of Speed Boost.

65
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:34,540
And yeah, light, medium and heavy hulls will
finally have different sounds.

66
00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:38,600
It will be impossible to mix up Wasp and Hunter…
or Hunter and Mammoth.

67
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:56,440
Of course, there will be entirely new sounds
too — from major things like tank collisions

68
00:05:56,450 --> 00:06:00,770
to turret and hull transformation during supplies
activation.

69
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:03,620
There are also very subtle sounds.

70
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:10,360
For instance, when you plant a mine, it will
sound different depending on the surface it falls on.

71
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:15,060
The work is still in progress, but the new
game already has ten times the sounds of the

72
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:16,050
current one!

73
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:21,430
This is an all-new level, so those of you
who are used to playing Tanki with sound muted,

74
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:23,960
should go and get some decent headphones…

75
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,460
They will surely come in handy!

76
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Time for Pro’s Advice.

77
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,660
Today’s guest — Tanki letsplayer Berik
— will give us some useful tips

78
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:37,500
on playing with Firebird.

79
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:40,680
Hey guys, this is Berik.

80
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,169
Today we’ll talk about playing with Firebird.
Let’s go!

81
00:06:46,169 --> 00:06:52,949
The first point is Firebird’s most obvious
advantage — high damage. This consists of

82
00:06:52,949 --> 00:06:57,610
2 components: direct damage and burning damage.

83
00:06:57,610 --> 00:07:03,790
The first one is easy to understand because
it’s constant, but the burning damage is

84
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:07,830
more tricky because it increases over time.

85
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:15,820
For example, a fully micro-upgraded Firebird
M3 reaches its maximum burning damage of 30

86
00:07:15,820 --> 00:07:20,110
health points per second after 2,5 seconds
of firing.

87
00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:24,470
So, you don’t need to keep attacking the
enemy till he’s dead.

88
00:07:24,470 --> 00:07:31,330
If he’s already heated up, you can drive
away once he has about 50 HP left.

89
00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:38,050
He’ll burn down anyway, and you’ll save
time and precious energy for your turret.

90
00:07:38,050 --> 00:07:44,060
Firebird is an excellent opponent against
Vulcan and its self-damage.

91
00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:49,840
When attacking a machinegun that is already
heating up, you re forcing him into a tricky

92
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,600
choice: to continue shooting and receive more
damage, or cease fire and hope to survive.

93
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,540
Very often, the enemy picks the second option.

94
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:08,900
The next tip is a tactical one useful in team
battles, especially no-supply ones.

95
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:15,919
Your task is to enter the enemy base in the
first wave of attack and damage as many enemies

96
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:17,610
as possible.

97
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:23,930
They will receive direct damage and will start
losing health thanks to the burning effect.

98
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:29,550
Within several seconds, your teammates will
arrive, finish off the damaged enemies and

99
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:31,490
steal the flag!

100
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:38,120
When playing with Firebird, keep in mind your
two main enemies: Repair Kits and paints with

101
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,610
high Firebird protection.

102
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:46,980
For example, Zeus eats up half of Firebird s
damage and decreases the heating up speed

103
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:52,490
by 50%, so the turret loses most of its potential.

104
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:58,920
As for Repair Kits, if you see that the enemy
has just used one, don’t even try to attack

105
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,930
— save your energy.

106
00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:08,110
The supply overcomes Firebird’s standard
damage and fully neutralizes the burning effect.

107
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:15,460
And finally, to get really good at playing
Firebird, spend some time reading the TO wiki.

108
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:22,760
Memorize the speed at which your turret deals
damage, as well as the health pools of various hulls.

109
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:29,340
Your goal is to spend energy wisely and make
the best out of your Firebird.

110
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:33,580
That’s all, guys. Roast your enemies, it’s
fun!

111
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:34,460
Good luck!

112
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Now, it’s time for some epic footage!

113
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,540
Let’s check out the best clip sent to us
since last Friday.

114
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,560
The topic for this week is MINES.

115
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:13,360
Draw something with mines on Stadium, destroy
somebody in a spectacular way…

116
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,600
The only limit is your imagination!

117
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,980
Just make sure the video has mines in it.

118
00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:20,800
Good luck!

119
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,300
