There may have been short films up to this point, but they weren't that famous. It used the ordered materials from the game, had its own story. The first film about Tanki Online appeared in 2011 together with the Screening of a Fairy Tale competition. On the first day of the test on the test server, the maximum damage of the Schaft in the aiming mode was 150 - 175 - 200 - 250 units (for M0 - M1 - M2 - M3, respectively), on the second day - 200 - 225 - ~ 275 - 300. But a day later it was seized, the crystals were returned, the description was changed. per second! Later, its characteristics were edited, resists were introduced. After the release, Shaft was bought at a rate of 3 pcs. The appearance in June 2011 of the Shaft cannon caused a real sensation among tankers. The Hornet was then changed to its current state due to the overly futuristic design and the complexities of gravity and traction. When they first started testing the Hornet body, it consisted of: a central part and four side ones, each of which was lower in level to the central block, and on each side block there were tracks. At that time, Vulcan / Ricochet was a machine gun, but during the testing phase, the idea of вЂ‹вЂ‹bouncing balls arose, which later grew into a full-fledged cannon, now known as Ricochet. The cannon shots were originally not supposed to bounce off the surfaces and were blue in color. The Ricochet cannon project appeared back in 2009. It is worth noting that the map was developed by the legendary map maker Figishe. The game fell apart and the card was never released. It was assumed that the map will not be able to use supplies (neither purchased nor falling from the sky). It was handled by a special association of players - 'KPTO' ('Communist Party Tanks Online').

In 2011, the developers decided to arrange a competition-race in which they had to constantly turn the tower. This party was engaged in the development of various programs for maintenance. In 2009-2010, there was a party 'KPTO' ('Communist Party Tankov Online'). Two days after the opening of the map, measures were taken, and the use of this bug began to be punished, and a week later the bug was completely fixed. After the map was displayed on the main servers, a bug was noticed: the prop of the tower from the inside could easily be shot from the Shaft cannon. Moreover, it was created two years earlier (in 2010).
