00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,240
In today’s episode

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520
we’ll be telling you about controls and
optimization of the mobile version,

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,220
we’ll also be telling you about
the New Year event in Tanki Online

5
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:19,500
and announcing a 
crazy frosty weekend.

6
00:00:21,310 --> 00:00:22,420
Hello Tankers!

7
00:00:22,430 --> 00:00:26,500
In the last V-LOG we announced
a new rugby mode in Tanki Online.

8
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:29,300
You might have noticed the mode
didn’t come out this week,

9
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,840
and maybe it will be 
released next week.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,550
Right now we want to show you
what the ball will look like.

11
00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:37,460
Unlike the flag, the ball is a 3D object.

12
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:40,530
It comes down onto the middle
of the field on a parachute,

13
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,699
and once captured the ball
is placed above the tank.

14
00:00:43,699 --> 00:00:45,110
One more thing to clarify,

15
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:48,989
rugby is NOT a holiday event
— it’s a completely new mode!

16
00:00:48,989 --> 00:00:51,680
And it will stay in the game after the holidays.

17
00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:55,600
Tanki on smartphones.

18
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:58,839
This is a huge topic and we’ll have
much more to share in the future.

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,600
Today we’ll tell you about the controls
and how we optimized the mobile version.

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520
From the start of the development 
of the mobile version of Tanki

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,040
we knew, that using Flash for 
smartphones and tablets is a bad idea.

22
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,350
There’s a reason why all Apple
gadgets don’t support Flash.

23
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:18,180
It’s all about the number of required resources,
and, consequently, heavy lags occur.

24
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:20,340
First tests confirmed this theory.

25
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:25,060
At that moment we made the decision
to port Tanki Online on HTML5.

26
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:28,479
And from the first working demo
we started testing it on mobile.

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,700
In the end, we managed to
optimize mobile version,

28
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,640
but not everyone has best
Samsung Galaxy phones to play it on.

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Practice showed, that even HTML5
doesn’t provide comfortable FPS

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,619
on medium-level devices.

31
00:01:41,619 --> 00:01:45,280
This is why we are working on
a special client for phones and tablets.

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,070
First tests are planned for
the end of January.

33
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,860
And, of course, we’ll
share the results with you.

34
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:51,360
Now controls.

35
00:01:51,369 --> 00:01:54,729
Right now in the game there are
2 control schemes:

36
00:01:54,729 --> 00:01:57,780
keyboard with a mouse 
and only keyboard.

37
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:02,440
Mobile devices are a fully
third way to control the game.

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,580
And each option has its pros and cons.

39
00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:08,179
Best arguments for playing
with a keyboard are these -

40
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:10,680
precision and control of your shooting.

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Disadvantages:

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,120
players can only look around with
the speed of the turret rotating,

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840
and camera goes up and
down using separate keys,

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,420
and it also takes lots of time to execute.

45
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:22,760
Now the option “keyboard + mouse”.

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,390
Here you can quickly look around,

47
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:26,620
and moving the mouse 
forward and backward

48
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,320
changes the angle of the 
camera in a small range.

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,420
Disadvantages:

50
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:32,971
you have to constantly check
the position of the turret,

51
00:02:32,971 --> 00:02:36,880
and it adds extra time to aim, which
impacts your precision in real battles…

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,200
Shaft excluded.

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,320
And about mobiles - here we
have two huge disadvantages.

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,040
First you have less feedback
controlling your tank with the touchscreen,

55
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,540
and second you basically
need to relearn everything.

56
00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:51,800
But there are pros too:

57
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:55,510
you can choose how to control
the camera based on the turret.

58
00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:58,110
It can follow the turret
- as on the keyboard -

59
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:01,360
or to be freely moving around
- like with the mouse.

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Also using a fast swipe you can
quickly raise or lower the camera.

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,400
And rotating your hull can be smoother,
meaning, you can turn bit by bit.

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,140
Can you play like a pro on the phone?

63
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:14,920
Yes, it’s just a matter of
getting used to the controls.

64
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:18,240
Video of the Week.

65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,140
Last time we asked you to record
a Solo Parkour video in Space mode.

66
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:25,870
It was very hard to choose the winner,
but there can be only one.

67
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:29,600
Congratulations to the
last winning video of 2017!

68
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,900
Next time make a holiday tree
out of tanks and send us the video!

69
00:03:57,909 --> 00:04:00,790
Here’re a couple of examples 
from the V-LOG crew.

70
00:04:00,790 --> 00:04:05,250
All tankers from the winning team
will get 5 Gold Boxes and 2 containers,

71
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:09,500
so make it special, take your time,
and see you in 2018!

72
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:15,100
Finally the big New Year
event has come to Tanki,

73
00:04:15,109 --> 00:04:17,608
with everything you ever
wanted for the holidays!

74
00:04:17,608 --> 00:04:19,379
Let’s start with the holiday map.

75
00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:23,650
It’s NOT an absolutely new map,
it’s made with the Forest map as a base

76
00:04:23,650 --> 00:04:27,030
and has new placements for
Gold Drops and holiday trees.

77
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:30,170
You can play on the holiday map
by pressing “Play” in the Lobby

78
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:31,980
or choosing from the Battle List.

79
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:33,440
Daily missions:

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,720
this time we’ve decided to change
all missions to holiday missions.

81
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,540
They are harder, but the 
rewards are also bigger.

82
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:41,200
And now for discounts!

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,080
They start on Saturday already,
on December 23rd, with a sale in the Shop.

84
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Discounts will be anywhere
between 20 and 50 percent.

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,500
After the discounts in the Shop,
discounts in the Garage will start with:

86
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,520
All turrets will be 50% off
on Monday, December 25th.

87
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Next comes:

88
00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:06,380
all hulls, modules, alterations, paints,
micro-upgrades with 50% for each level

89
00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:08,720
and 70% on speeding up the upgrades

90
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,660
50% discount on supplies 
and gifts has already started

91
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:14,760
and will continue until January 1st.

92
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,410
Don’t miss your chance
to upgrade your whole Garage

93
00:05:17,410 --> 00:05:19,560
with such amazing discounts!

94
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Double Battle Funds!

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,860
They will be active on 
December 30th and January 6th,

96
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:25,820
so don’t stay away too long.

97
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:30,620
Also remember - double battle funds are
active only in regular, non-PRO battles.

98
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,850
December 31st is the perfect time to
catch Gold Boxes, and the holiday map

99
00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:36,410
will have a lot of them!

100
00:05:36,410 --> 00:05:41,380
For 1 day only Gold Boxes on the
holiday map will drop 10 times more often.

101
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,580
And now for something special - containers.

102
00:05:46,590 --> 00:05:48,210
They are returning to the game!

103
00:05:48,210 --> 00:05:51,300
From the morning restart 
on Sunday, December 24th,

104
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,060
and until the end of the holiday break,

105
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:55,620
in all regular battles 
instead of Gold Boxes

106
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,060
there is a chance for 
holiday containers to drop.

107
00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:01,200
This doesn’t apply to Gold Box
supplies dropped by players,

108
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,380
only to random drops on the maps.

109
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:07,100
Containers themselves have changed
a little since Black Friday as well -

110
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:12,590
now they have big packs of crystals, supplies,
Gold Boxes, Premium, and more rare paints

111
00:06:12,590 --> 00:06:15,460
like the new animated paint “Holiday lights”.

112
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,600
Frosty Weekend is close!

113
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,400
This Saturday and Sunday
get ready to crush your enemies

114
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,300
while following the standard
Crazy Weekend rules:

115
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:29,340
destroy enemy tanks in regular,
non-PRO battles and win prizes:

116
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:32,010
3 holiday containers 
for making 400 kills

117
00:06:32,010 --> 00:06:36,560
5 containers and 3 days of Premium
for destroying 800 enemies

118
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,840
And for reaching 2000 kills
you will get 10 containers,

119
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,560
5 days of Premium and
protection module Kodiak T-A!

120
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,340
Also, from among those who destroyed
more than 800 enemy tanks,

121
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,280
2 winners will be selected
to receive Dream Tanks.

122
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,960
On Wednesday, December 20th,
we launched a special New Year Contest,

123
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,840
and for the first time YOU 
are deciding who will win!

Check the full rules for Tanki Awards 2017
via the link in the description.

141
00:07:46,060 --> 00:07:47,200
About a month ago

142
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,080
our Polish community started registration
for a local tournament called "Frosty Trio".

143
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Players had to group with 3 people
and fight against other trio teams.

144
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,180
Last weekend the final live stream
determined the best Trio Team -

145
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,860
EVIL-PANDA-SQUAD!

146
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:05,930
They won 180 000 crystals
and the Scandinavia paint.

147
00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:11,340
2nd place went to team KSW Squad
and 3rd place to team MODS NOBS.

148
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:14,750
Congratulations to all participants
and of course to the winners!

149
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:17,780
Do you like hearing about
worldwide events in the V-LOG?

150
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:19,020
Let us know in the comments!

151
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:21,560
That’s it for today’s episode!

152
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,480
Next week there will be no V-LOG
as V-LOG is going on a vacation,

153
00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:28,190
but check the Forum for 
any surprise streams!

154
00:08:28,190 --> 00:08:31,750
The winners of the Codes Contest
will be posted on the Forum next week,

155
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:34,429
good luck finding the 
final code in this episode,

156
00:08:34,429 --> 00:08:37,859
and don’t forget to enter the
15 seconds to New Year contest!

157
00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:40,960
Happy holidays and an even
happier New Year, tankers!

158
00:08:41,059 --> 00:08:41,559
Bye!

159
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Last week Twins was shooting at Railgun
and you had to guess how many shots

160
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360
it will take to destroy Railgun.

161
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,260
And the right answer is… 17!

162
00:08:57,260 --> 00:08:59,340
Welcome the winners,
and here’s the new question:

163
00:09:15,920 --> 00:00:00,000
How many shots will it take
to drop Wasp off the bridge?

[]
