1
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,540
In today’s episode we’ll be telling
you about the new turret, Striker.

2
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:22,340
We’ll also be discussing
the new batch of alterations,

3
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:25,880
and telling you about New Year
celebrations in Tanki Online.

4
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:29,700
Hey tankers, long time no see!

5
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,540
We’ve got a lot to talk about in
this episode, so let’s start!

6
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:38,160
The Alterations that we announced in
the last VLOG have finally been released!

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,720
All the turrets except Twins and Ricochet,
have been given a new Alteration...

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,600
and Railgun got TWO new ones!!!

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,240
You can find all the information about
these new Alterations in the Tanki Wiki.

10
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,100
We’re sure that by now,
you all know about Striker

11
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:54,920
the new turret in Tanki Online.

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,800
As we had already mentioned, this is
a missile launcher with 2 firing modes:

13
00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:04,229
a single missile fired in a straight line,
or a salvo of homing missiles,

14
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:07,360
which requires you to hold your
aim on an enemy tank and lock on

15
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,160
before unleashing your attack.

16
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,289
The damage dealt by the whole salvo
can easily destroy any medium hull.

17
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:16,410
And let’s not forget the splash
damage from each missile.

18
00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:21,650
The whole development process for Striker
took more than 4 months, including testing.

19
00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:23,220
The first steps for our game-designers,

20
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:26,280
were to decide on all the details
for the turret’s construction,

21
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,230
and the principles of how it works.

22
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240
There were a lot of variables
for Striker’s appearance.

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,700
How many barrels should the turret have?

24
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,300
1, 2, 3, 4... maybe more?

25
00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:39,880
Should they be mounted
horizontally or vertically?

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,339
Should they be stuck together, or
positioned on the sides of the turret?

27
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:46,620
Should it just be barrels, or do we
need to add something else?

28
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:50,560
The end result is that we have two pairs
of barrels on each side of the turret.

29
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,240
There were also many discussions
on how it would work.

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,820
Would it have homing missiles?

31
00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:00,800
If so, how accurate and how
easy to dodge should they be?

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,440
We also needed to finalize controls,
aiming system, and lots of other things.

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,199
Every time we design a new turret, we
strive to make something really unique.

34
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,190
And every time it’s more difficult.

35
00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:14,420
After making all these decisions
on the concept of the turret,

36
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:16,950
Tanki’s artists started working
on it’s appearance,

37
00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:20,790
while programmers had to create a
new mechanism for homing missiles.

38
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,500
Before we got the final Striker
model and missiles in hand,

39
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:26,989
we had to test it using what
was already available.

40
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:31,760
For this, we used the Twins model,
because like Striker, it has divided barrels.

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,400
For our missiles, we decided to have some
fun and use a sprite of Mister Hankey.

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,760
If you know who Mister Hankey is,

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,190
you can imagine how hilarious it was to
see four of those flying through the air.

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,820
Of course, we later change
them to missile sprites.

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Developers worked their fingers off
to release the turret before the New Year.

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,420
This required urgent tests
on the game servers.

47
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:56,420
Striker’s non-buyable prototype
was added in the game,

48
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:59,690
and Semyon Strizhak began wreaking
havoc and shocking players.

49
00:02:59,690 --> 00:03:03,650
Of course, popular Russian youtuber
Sencha couldn’t miss this news flash,

50
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:05,500
and went crazy with it.

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,679
You can check out all the info on Striker
including damage, reload time, and prices

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,420
in our Wiki or in the game.

53
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:22,800
By the way! We’ve also launched a contest

54
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:26,760
where you have the chance of getting
the new Striker turret… for free!

55
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,920
For 7 days, starting from
the 23rd of December,

56
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:37,600
any tanker can win a fully upgraded
missile launcher available at his or her rank.

57
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:40,959
To take part in this giveaway,
a player needs to destroy

58
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:46,499
at least 500 tanks in a day,
in random, non-PRO, battles.

59
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,620
Every day, we’ll be randomly choosing

60
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:53,980
1 tanker from the list of players
who hit the target for the previous day.

61
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:58,220
This means we’ll be giving
out Strikers to 7 players.

62
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:03,170
Of course, players who manage to
fulfill the requirements on multiple days,

63
00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:06,369
will be increasing their
chances to win the turret.

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,459
Last Saturday the finalists for
the Masters of Parkour 2016

65
00:04:13,459 --> 00:04:16,569
met in a great showdown to
establish once and for all,

66
00:04:16,569 --> 00:04:18,250
who the true masters are.

67
00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:20,599
The teams had to perform three tricks,

68
00:04:20,599 --> 00:04:25,300
which consisted of getting on top of
specific buildings in three different maps.

69
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:26,590
The contestants had the option to

70
00:04:26,590 --> 00:04:29,448
either replicate the trick
done in the demo video,

71
00:04:29,449 --> 00:04:34,129
or try to go for something totally original
in the hope of scoring extra points.

72
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,500
But that’s not all.

73
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:38,830
They had to nail their tricks
in two minutes or less,

74
00:04:38,830 --> 00:04:41,370
with more points being
awarded for better time.

75
00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:44,120
The final lasted almost
two and a half hours,

76
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200
and every minute was packed
with tension and adrenaline.

77
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,500
In the end, The Flying Parkourists
snatched the first place

78
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,759
with almost fifty points of advantage.

79
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,409
The second place was
claimed by Fight and Flight,

80
00:04:55,409 --> 00:04:59,129
while the German Tanki Tutorials
team secured the third place.

81
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,220
This was definitely an event worth watching,
and every team gave a great show.

82
00:05:04,229 --> 00:05:08,800
If you missed the final, you owe it to
yourself to watch the recording.

83
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,400
You can find the link in
the V-LOG’s description.

84
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:13,940
Video of the week!

85
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:18,139
Last time we asked you to send us a
video where you are the hero of the battle.

86
00:05:18,139 --> 00:05:20,990
Let’s check out the best video!

87
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:42,940
For next time, shoot something
very cool on the New Year map.

88
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:49,340
And now, some information on what
you’ve all been looking forward to

89
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:51,149
the New Year event in TO.

90
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,440
As per our annual tradition, we have
prepared for you a ton of cool stuff.

91
00:05:55,930 --> 00:05:59,390
The celebrations will start tomorrow,
on the 24th of December,

92
00:05:59,390 --> 00:06:01,969
and will last till the 9th of January.

93
00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:06,700
Throughout the celebrations, we’ll have
New Year decorations all over the game,

94
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,260
including your Garage, plus the
Premium paint Spangles,

95
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:13,659
and the traditional holiday paint, which you
can also buy if you’d like to keep it forever.

96
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,200
And let’s not forget the 3 new holiday gifts.

97
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:19,549
Pick your favorite and send it to your friends!

98
00:06:19,549 --> 00:06:23,520
There will also be a holiday map
where golds will drop twice as often,

99
00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:26,190
as well as special missions
with bigger rewards.

100
00:06:26,190 --> 00:06:29,610
By the way, in addition to Deathmatch
and Team Deathmatch modes,

101
00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:31,820
this map will get a special New Year mode.

102
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:34,139
It’s very similar to the
Assault Mode from last year,

103
00:06:34,139 --> 00:06:37,599
where the attacking team needed to carry
their flag to an enemy team’s base

104
00:06:37,599 --> 00:06:39,498
except this time, there are THREE flags!

105
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,439
By the way, if you don’t have
a PRO-pass, don’t worry!

106
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,779
You’ll still be able to play on the
holiday map using a special battle filter.

107
00:06:46,780 --> 00:06:48,539
And now THE SALES!

108
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:51,909

For those of you who are
still not familiar with it,

00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:38,580
THE GAME is a series of riddles and
puzzles that takes place over 5 days,

where any player ranked Sergeant
or higher can win amazing prizes.

121
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,809

1000 units of each supply, 100 gold boxes,
and a fully micro-upgraded Dream Tank

123
00:07:50,949 --> 00:07:54,489

00:07:54,489 --> 00:07:56,149
available at the player’s rank

125
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,600
All those participants who can
solve all the game’s riddles,

126
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,600

128
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,420
This time, registration will start
1 day before the game starts.

129
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,640
We’ll announce the winners and hand
out the rewards on the 9th of January.

130
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,139
More details about the game will be
posted on the 1st of January.

131
00:08:17,139 --> 00:08:18,499
Don’t miss the announcement.

132
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,179
That’s it for this year guys!

133
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:25,819
The V-LOG is going on holiday again.

134
00:08:25,819 --> 00:08:28,819
The next episode is due
on the 13th of January.

135
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Happy holidays!

136
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,599
See ya!

137
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,220
Last time Wasp and Thunder jumped
off a platform on the Madness map,

138
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:44,110
and you had to guess how
many flips it would do.

139
00:08:44,110 --> 00:08:46,590
The right answer is... 4.

140
00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:48,500
Here are our winners.

141
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:49,569
And now, a new question![]
