1
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:04,860
In today’s episode,

2
00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:08,830
we’ll be having a look at what’s waiting
for you in our Valentine’s Day event.

3
00:00:08,830 --> 00:00:12,460
We’ll also be giving you a
sneak peek at upcoming skins,

4
00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:14,900
and ushering in the second
challenge for this month.

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Hello Tankers.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,869
Can you feel it?

7
00:00:19,869 --> 00:00:21,190
Love is in the air.

8
00:00:21,190 --> 00:00:22,930
It’s Valentine’s Day,

9
00:00:22,930 --> 00:00:25,970
and of course, we’re celebrating
it in Tanki Online too.

10
00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:28,630
We’ve got some neat
stuff prepared for you,

11
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:30,680
including two themed contests.

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,240
Let's start with your favourite.

13
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:36,580
Until the 17th, holiday gold boxes
will be dropping on our maps.

14
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:38,460
Catch them,
and send us screenshots.

15
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:39,620
On the 19th,

16
00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:44,460
we will randomly select 14 winners
who will receive 14 thousand crystals

17
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:46,480
and 14 containers each.

18
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,640
And if you have someone special,

19
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:52,210
you can take an in-game photo
with them and send it to us.

20
00:00:52,210 --> 00:00:54,879
If you’re both wearing
the festive paint,

21
00:00:54,879 --> 00:00:57,480
you will receive 3
thousand crystals each.

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,859
BUT, if one of you is
wearing the Yin paint,

23
00:01:00,859 --> 00:01:03,039
and the other is wearing Yang,

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560
you will receive FIVE thousand crystals.

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,320
Additionally, we’ll be choosing a
number of lucky participants

26
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:11,890
from among all the valid entries,

27
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,050
and rewarding them with special prizes.

28
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:18,180
All the details are in the
links in the description.

29
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:20,160
But enough with all
the sentimental stuff.

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,630
We’re tankers,
and we want action.

31
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:23,730
So here it is.

32
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:25,180
Today, Shop sales.

33
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:28,100
Tomorrow, slashed
prices on Garage items.

34
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,800
Sunday, Upgrades and
Speed-Ups on the cheap.

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,190
And of course, double
funds in matchmaking,

36
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:35,160
plus the return of DM mode

37
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,110
and increased gold box frequency
on the Barda map all weekend.

38
00:01:39,110 --> 00:01:41,790
Check out the details in
the official announcement.

39
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:43,360
The link is in the description.

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,100
We recently showed you
the new Vulcan.

41
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:49,240
But as you can imagine,

42
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,630
this is not the only
thing we’re working on.

43
00:01:51,630 --> 00:01:53,060
Can you guess what’s next?

44
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:57,860
It’s the second most popular combo
after Viking Thunder — the Hornet Rail.

45
00:01:57,860 --> 00:01:58,980
And this time,

46
00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:00,360
we’re not just gonna
show you the model.

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,770
We’re also gonna chat with our artists,

48
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:05,230
and ask them some of your
most frequently asked questions

49
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:07,950
about the process of
creating new skins.

50
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:10,590
Why can’t you just reuse
what’s been made for tanki X.

51
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:12,700
Unfortunately,
we couldn’t do that.

52
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,900
All of the turrets and hulls from TX
were made in a completely different style,

53
00:02:16,909 --> 00:02:19,610
and they featured animations
that are not used in TO.

54
00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:24,310
That is why, despite the apparent similarity
of the hulls and turrets in TX and Tanki,

55
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:26,470
all the work has to be done from scratch.

56
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:30,380
What kind of compromises did you have
to make when working on new skins?

57
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:32,400
We had to sacrifice the
material of the tank.

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,860
We had a lot of ideas,

59
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:38,780
but the textures for new skins need to fit
the visual style of the old hulls and turrets.

60
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:39,920
A workaround could have been

61
00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:42,859
to release ALL the hulls and
turrets at the same time,

62
00:02:42,859 --> 00:02:44,409
while removing the old ones.

63
00:02:44,409 --> 00:02:45,870
But that’s not realistic.

64
00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:49,440
Plus, let's not forget that many players 
have been playing with these skins

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,080
for over 10 years.

66
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,139
They’ve grown fond of them and
would not want to let them go.

67
00:02:54,139 --> 00:02:58,190
What do you consider more important,
aesthetics or realism?

68
00:02:58,190 --> 00:02:59,190
When creating a design,

69
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:01,200
we first focus on the
appearance of the tank,

70
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,950
and only later on the functionality.

71
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:06,520
Let’s face it — Tanki Online
isn’t about realism.

72
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,159
However, when designing
a turret or hull,

73
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:12,170
we still try to understand how
the mechanisms would work,

74
00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:13,579
and what each part would do.

75
00:03:13,579 --> 00:03:14,959
If a turret fires shells,

76
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:18,299
we think about how
they are fed into the barrel,

77
00:03:18,299 --> 00:03:20,010
how the powder
gases are released,

78
00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,370
how the recoil works, and so on.

79
00:03:22,370 --> 00:03:24,579
These things aren’t
noticeable at first glance,

80
00:03:24,579 --> 00:03:26,799
but they help to draw
you into the game.

81
00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:29,400
And no, we’re not
stopping at Hornet Rail.

82
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,520
Have a look at what’s
also coming up.

83
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:36,860
The second February challenge
is at the doorstep.

84
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:40,249
Remember, from this month
we’re having two challenges,

85
00:03:40,249 --> 00:03:42,659
each one lasting for two weeks.

86
00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:46,939
And the final stage of each challenge
will now reward you with 100 tankoins.

87
00:03:46,939 --> 00:03:50,330
That’s much better than what
you used to earn in previous months.

88
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,330
By the way,

89
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,650
don’t forget about
the Yin Yang conflict.

90
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:56,170
There are two weeks
left till the end of the event.

91
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:57,170
So hurry up,

92
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:59,340
earn those stars
and get containers.

93
00:04:02,029 --> 00:04:05,659
Time to check out the hottest of this
week’s videos from our Youtubers.

94
00:04:05,659 --> 00:04:08,659
First, AV-gamers shows
off a fan-made version

95
00:04:08,659 --> 00:04:11,120
of the upcoming Ares
hovering hull.

96
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Nice!

97
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,260
Next, Mr.Railgun uses the Blaster Drone
to bully Juggernaut in battle.

98
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:19,140
Poor Juggernaut.

99
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,479
The Solo and Clan editions of the
Masters of the Sword tournament

100
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:25,849
are in full swing.

101
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:30,710
In Solo, duels are held exclusively
with Railguns in XP/BP format,

102
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:33,440
while in the clan version,
it’s all about the Light format.

103
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,819
Of the six players on the team,
only five use the Railgun.

104
00:04:37,819 --> 00:04:42,160
The remaining player uses a Smoky
equipped with the Assault Shells alteration,

105
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
which eliminates critical damage
but grants an aggressive impact force

106
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,330
that easily knocks off the aim of
even the most skilled rail users!

107
00:04:50,330 --> 00:04:55,180
Join the livestream and let's choose the
best tournament Smoky player together!

108
00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:57,870
Links to broadcasts and
voting are in the description.

109
00:04:57,870 --> 00:04:58,870
By the way,

110
00:04:58,870 --> 00:05:02,460
if you have a team but didn’t manage to
get into the Masters of the Sword tournament,

111
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:03,920
don’t despair!

112
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,330
Blitz tournaments are
just around the corner,

113
00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:08,990
and they will also be
held in the Light format.

114
00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:11,610
Build up your clan’s skills
in Blitz tournaments,

115
00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:13,150
develop winning tactics,

116
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:15,620
and get ready to move
on to the big tournaments.

117
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,460
It’s time to wrap up this episode.

118
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:24,460
But first, tell us how many hearts
you spotted in today's V-LOG.

119
00:05:24,460 --> 00:05:27,560
Write your answer in the comments,
and see you in a week.

120
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,280
Bye!

121
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Last time you had to guess
where the red tank would respawn.

122
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:39,750
And the correct answer is…

123
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:40,750
A.

124
00:05:40,750 --> 00:05:41,750
Here are our winners.

125
00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:43,300
And here’s the new question.

126
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,300
How many times will Wasp
flip over before it explodes?[]
