In today's episode we'll be telling you about the new turret, Striker.
We'll also be discussing the new batch of alterations,
and telling you about New Year celebrations in Tanki Online.
Hey tankers, long time no see!
We've got a lot to talk about in this episode, so let's start!
The Alterations that we announced in the last VLOG have finally been released!
All the turrets except Twins and Ricochet, have been given a new Alteration...
and Railgun got TWO new ones!!!
You can find all the information about these new Alterations in the Tanki Wiki.
We're sure that by now, you all know about Striker
the new turret in Tanki Online.
As we had already mentioned, this is a missile launcher with 2 firing modes:
a single missile fired in a straight line, or a salvo of homing missiles,
which requires you to hold your aim on an enemy tank and lock on
before unleashing your attack.
The damage dealt by the whole salvo can easily destroy any medium hull.
And let's not forget the splash damage from each missile.
The whole development process for Striker took more than 4 months, including testing.
The first steps for our game-designers,
were to decide on all the details for the turret's construction,
and the principles of how it works.
There were a lot of variables for Striker's appearance.
How many barrels should the turret have?
1, 2, 3, 4... maybe more?
Should they be mounted horizontally or vertically?
Should they be stuck together, or positioned on the sides of the turret?
Should it just be barrels, or do we need to add something else?
The end result is that we have two pairs of barrels on each side of the turret.
There were also many discussions on how it would work.
Would it have homing missiles?
If so, how accurate and how easy to dodge should they be?
We also needed to finalize controls, aiming system, and lots of other things.
Every time we design a new turret, we strive to make something really unique.
And every time it's more difficult.
After making all these decisions on the concept of the turret,
Tanki's artists started working on it's appearance,
while programmers had to create a new mechanism for homing missiles.
Before we got the final Striker model and missiles in hand,
we had to test it using what was already available.
For this, we used the Twins model, because like Striker, it has divided barrels.
For our missiles, we decided to have some fun and use a sprite of Mister Hankey.
If you know who Mister Hankey is,
you can imagine how hilarious it was to see four of those flying through the air.
Of course, we later change them to missile sprites.
Developers worked their fingers off to release the turret before the New Year.
This required urgent tests on the game servers.
Striker's non-buyable prototype was added in the game,
and Semyon Strizhak began wreaking havoc and shocking players.
Of course, popular Russian youtuber Sencha couldn't miss this news flash,
and went crazy with it.
You can check out all the info on Striker including damage, reload time, and prices
in our Wiki or in the game.
By the way! We've also launched a contest
where you have the chance of getting the new Striker turret… for free!
For 7 days, starting from the 23rd of December,
any tanker can win a fully upgraded missile launcher available at his or her rank.
To take part in this giveaway, a player needs to destroy
at least 500 tanks in a day, in random, non-PRO, battles.
Every day, we'll be randomly choosing
1 tanker from the list of players who hit the target for the previous day.
This means we'll be giving out Strikers to 7 players.
Of course, players who manage to fulfill the requirements on multiple days,
will be increasing their chances to win the turret.
Last Saturday the finalists for the Masters of Parkour 2016
met in a great showdown to establish once and for all,
who the true masters are.
The teams had to perform three tricks,
which consisted of getting on top of specific buildings in three different maps.
The contestants had the option to
either replicate the trick done in the demo video,
or try to go for something totally original in the hope of scoring extra points.
But that's not all.
They had to nail their tricks in two minutes or less,
with more points being awarded for better time.
The final lasted almost two and a half hours,
and every minute was packed with tension and adrenaline.
In the end, The Flying Parkourists snatched the first place
with almost fifty points of advantage.
The second place was claimed by Fight and Flight,
while the German Tanki Tutorials team secured the third place.
This was definitely an event worth watching, and every team gave a great show.
If you missed the final, you owe it to yourself to watch the recording.
