There he can meet tankers of Recruit, Private and Gefreiter rank. Such a player automatically gets the nickname RecruitNNNNN, where NNNNN is unique number. A player is offered to fill the registration form only after reaching Private rank. If you are not a newcomer, but also found yourself in a battle with newbies and with nickname RecruitNNNNN, then click «I have an account» button in the upper part of the game menu. We have created a basic achievement system, which helps newcomers to learn some basic elements of the game.

February 3 One of the errors causing the appearance of so-called «invisibles» has been eliminated All New Year’s decorations including, Christmas trees (which had replaced flags), holiday parachutes, wrapped presents, and holiday-themed billboards have been removed. An error that made it possible to make infinite use of supplies has been eliminated. The shopping cart icon used for entering payment section has been replaced with a «Buy» button. The garage has been optimized through the use of progressive loading. Upon entering the garage only visible items are loaded, allowing for faster entry. All other information will be loaded when players scroll through item lists. We have launched a notification system that notifies players the moment they achieve a new rank. The message is displayed during battle. We have also launched an alert system, informing players about new items available for purchase in the Garage. A message displaying the icons of these items will appear when a players receives a new rank and leaves battle or enters the game. Click on the icon guides to the description of the item in the Garage. February 1 Overloaded database, caused game instability, was modified. Now all player’s achievements are not only saved but also stored through Redis. This solves a lot of issues. Due to this update search logic in the Hall of Fame is temporarily changed.

Tanks, whose sources weren't completely loaded, are marked with grey color in battle statistics (press «Tab» to call it). This helps to solve problem of incomplete sources loading and resists to so-called «invisibles». Error in CTF mode, caused some lags, was eliminated. Error messages are more detailed now. This helps find and solve problems more promptly. Hash for server entering without password during evacuation and hash for permanent server entering without password are differ now.

Changed algorithm of anti-foul language system. Within some period of time there can be false responses, since we’re perfecting the system. If you have examples of false responses please send them to help@tankionline.com Changed algorithm of anti-flood system, now anti-flood follows typing of similar symbols in a row in one message. Flags finally have taken their stand. Fixed bug of mismatch between number of players in the battle list and battle info (9/11). Changed the sound of Twins shooting. January 16 Experimental changes in the Twins gun: the vertical angle for automatic targeting is now increased (3 degrees upwards, 3 downwards), speed of flight of the individual shells is lowered. January 14 Eliminated a vulnerability that allowed to increase the speed in battles (aka speed hack). Now if you somehow speed up the tank, you’ll be automatically kicked from the battle. January 12 Twins is experimentally strengthened for one week. You can discuss the current stats and post your impressions/suggestions here The referral banned display problem is now solved.
