00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:16,710
Hey tankers!

2
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:20,880
In today’s V-LOG we’ll be telling you
about the improved system for early battle

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,510
termination, new ways to hone your combat
skills, and upcoming promotions and discounts!

4
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:34,590
Today, Friday, we’ve just launched the updated
and improved system for early battle termination.

5
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:39,770
As before, its primary goal is to finish battles
with an obvious outcome, sooner.

6
00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:44,290
The main difference in this version of the
system, compared to the old ones, is the parameter

7
00:00:44,290 --> 00:00:45,360
that it monitors.

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,570
Now, the mechanism pays attention not to score
accumulation, but to the number of players

9
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:51,540
in the teams.

10
00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:56,500
The new edition of the early battle termination
is as simple as a butterscotch pie. In it,

11
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:01,140
the standard timer gets replaced by a special
one if the winning team has twice as many

12
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:03,400
players as the losing one, or more.

13
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,210
Of course, the termination can be cancelled
— this will happen if the losing team has

14
00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:10,400
more than 50% of the players compared to the
opponent.

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,060
In other words, the system will get triggered
in a battle where a team of 10 tankers is

16
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:21,130
defeating a team of 5 or less tankers. If
the losing team once again has 6 or more players,

17
00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:23,179
the early termination will be cancelled.

18
00:01:23,179 --> 00:01:28,200
Another important difference of the new system
is the fact that it also works in DM battles

19
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,289
— in their case, the timer is launched if
there’s only one player left in a battle.

20
00:01:33,289 --> 00:01:38,560
As before, tankers will have the option to
enable or disable the termination system in

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,950
PRO battles.

22
00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:43,880
We hope you guys enjoy the new early battle
termination. Make sure you share your thoughts

23
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,420
on it in the comments to this video, as well
as in the Tanki forum.

24
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:49,460
We’ll definitely take them into account.

25
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,219
Lately, we’ve been getting more and more
complaints on account thefts in TO.

26
00:01:57,219 --> 00:02:02,539
This is because phishers are taking advantage
of the buzz around the Tanki X testing, and

27
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:05,060
cheating people out of their account passwords.

28
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:09,729
Let’s have a word with our community manager
Maksim, as he’s got something useful to

29
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:10,830
say about this.

30
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:16,060
Two top strategies phishers are using to steal
accounts right now are both related to Tanki

31
00:02:16,060 --> 00:02:20,040
X: invites to the closed testing, and nickname
reservation.

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,380
Let’s start with the first one. The only
place where you can apply for the closed test,

33
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:28,830
and get a chance to join it, is on the Tanki
X site.

34
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:33,850
The only thing you need to enter there is
your email address. Only people who apply

35
00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:37,640
via the site will get invites, no one else.

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,760
Now, about nickname reservation, which is
what you need to do if you want to join the

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,620
Tanki X open testing with your TO nickname,
once it starts.

38
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:52,230
To reserve your nickname, you need to have
a verified email address linked to your account.

39
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:57,200
Below the video, you will find more info on
how to link and verify your email address

40
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,250
in TO.

41
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:03,710
If your email address is verified correctly,
click on the link from the official post about

42
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:05,650
nickname reservation.

43
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:10,200
This will lead you to a special site, where
you only need to enter your nickname.

44
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,240
Once you do that, you’ll receive an email
with the special code, at the address linked

45
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,870
to the account. Do not share it with anyone.

46
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:24,740
At the start of the TX open testing, you’ll
need to say that you are from TO, and enter

47
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:25,820
this code.

48
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:31,070
The most important thing to remember, is that
we are not asking for your passwords, anywhere.

49
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:33,190
So, please, be careful.

50
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,220
Now, let’s all do something useful.

51
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:39,820
There’s a link to my speech in the V-LOGs
description.

52
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:45,850
Copy it, and spread it as much as possible,
so that all tankers can learn how to not get

53
00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:47,200
their account stolen.

54
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,820
We’ll be really grateful. Thank you!

55
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,340
Time for a new collection of handy tips from
an experienced tanker! Today’s guest is

56
00:03:57,340 --> 00:04:00,590
a seasoned player and TO moderator — OldMan.

57
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:03,480
Hey guys, this is Oldman.

58
00:04:03,490 --> 00:04:07,480
Today we’ll be talking about a number of
useful skills that will certainly come in

59
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,170
handy on the battlefields of Tanki Online.

60
00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:11,600
Let’s go!

61
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:17,100
When playing on Iran, tankers often try to
capture the flag by jumping off a nearby building.

62
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:21,700
This is a rather predictable technique, so
defenders often block the flag stealer on

63
00:04:21,709 --> 00:04:23,030
the ground.

64
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:27,819
But there’s a simple trick that will allow
you to counter this. When playing with a partner,

65
00:04:27,819 --> 00:04:31,090
you need to jump off the building one after
the other.

66
00:04:31,090 --> 00:04:36,280
The first tank will capture the flag and get
blocked by the enemies, while the second one

67
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,970
will jump on top of the teammate.

68
00:04:37,970 --> 00:04:42,210
Now, you’ll need to pass on the flag at
the right time. If everything’s done fast

69
00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:47,430
and clean, the enemies won’t even have time
to react, and you’ll successfully steal

70
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:48,700
their flag.

71
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,280
The same trick works when attacking the blue
base on Silence.

72
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,660
Approach it through the tunnel.

73
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:58,540
Here, the first player stops right near the
tunnel entrance, while the second one jumps

74
00:04:58,540 --> 00:05:02,150
over him and steals the flag past the heads
of the defenders.

75
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:04,139
Now, onto next thing.

76
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:08,610
Quite often, when stealing the flag, you have
to shoot back at the enemies, which means

77
00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:11,440
driving with your turret facing backwards.

78
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,280
In order to keep driving in the right direction
without hitting any walls, there are 2 tricks:

79
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,040
First, you can lift up your camera angle.

80
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,419
This will allow you to shoot back while watching
where you are heading.

81
00:05:23,419 --> 00:05:25,840
However, your view range will be rather limited.

82
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,570
The second option is a lot more sophisticated
— on urban maps, road markings serve as

83
00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:32,169
excellent landmarks.

84
00:05:32,169 --> 00:05:36,620
When driving with your turret pointing backwards,
just stick to the dividing line.

85
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:41,389
This works perfectly on Kungur, Serpuhov and
many other arenas.

86
00:05:41,389 --> 00:05:42,910
And now, the last tip.

87
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:47,360
Sometimes you’ll see an opponent driving
your way while facing backwards, often while

88
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,450
holding a flag.

89
00:05:48,450 --> 00:05:53,560
Don’t rush to shoot at him from afar. Instead,
bet on the element of surprise.

90
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,280
Take advantage of the fact that the enemy
hasn’t seen you: place a mine in his path,

91
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,300
place your tank nearby, and start shooting
at him as soon as the mine blows up beneath him.

92
00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:07,780
That way, the enemy will instantly receive
a huge amount of damage and won’t be able

93
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:09,800
to use a Repair Kit in time.

94
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,680
And if you are lucky, he might even flip over.

95
00:06:12,690 --> 00:06:16,300
That’s all from me tankers, have fun playing
TO.

96
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:16,940
Good luck!

97
00:06:19,910 --> 00:06:20,940
Video of the Week!

98
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:25,960
Let’s check out the best clip from the past
7 days, and hand out the well-deserved

99
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,220
50 000 crystals to the winner!

100
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,479
Valentine’s Day, which traditionally brings
with it a collection of sales and goodies,

101
00:07:05,479 --> 00:07:06,750
is at the doorstep.

102
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:11,360
Let’s ask our marketing specialist Roman
about what we can expect to see in the game

103
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,990
on the 14th of February, and for the next
couple of holidays.

104
00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:15,580
Hey guys!

105
00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:22,060
This Sunday, February 14, we’ll be celebrating
Valentine’s Day in Tanki. For 24 hours only,

106
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:28,229
we’ll be having special decorations, gold
boxes worth 3000 crystals, bonuses for purchasing

107
00:07:28,229 --> 00:07:33,949
crystals, a 90% discount on the “In Love”
paint, and of course, a collection of themed

108
00:07:33,949 --> 00:07:37,100
in-game gifts, which by the way, are super
cute!

109
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,650
You might ask, “What’s next?”.

110
00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:43,350
Well... in less than 2 weeks we’ll be holding
our traditional Iron Days sale.

111
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:48,780
It will start on February 23 and will last
for 4 days. The event will include double

112
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:54,110
battle funds, as well as discounts on paints,
hulls and turrets! You can also expect more

113
00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:55,600
unique in-game gifts!

114
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,419
But that’s not all. This will be followed
by Women’s Day on March 8. The holiday will

115
00:08:01,419 --> 00:08:05,250
be celebrated with a 3-day sale on micro-upgrades.

116
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:09,919
Just to make it clear, Valentine’s Day and
Iron Days will only be held on the European

117
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,239
servers of Tanki, while the Women’s Day
celebrations will also be available for Brazilian players.

118
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:17,990
Make sure you don’t miss any of it!

119
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:21,970
That’s it tankers!
