Yeah, it is totally worth it as Bugatti said. M2 freeze and thunder are some of the top notch weapons seen on the battlefield among players your rank! Thunders splash damage is deadly for those annoying campers who hide behind walls, as if you shoot behind them into a wall the get damaged. Even from hitting the ground while you jump devastates their health, plus the impact force of thunder is enough to send wasps flying!

Good question, you came to the right place! First off, I'll tell you rustle for sure. Now why? Rustle has more protection, for turrets more commonly used in close range. Now you being a firebird face isidas and freeze a lot, and having protection against them is a must! Also, thunders can be quite pesky for any players, so it's nice to have them taken care of!

Hornet m1 an freeze m1, I think it's the consensus dude. Depending on whether you have an m2 hull already, I would say hornet if you don't, and isida if you do. Both are highly upgradable and usable later on among higher ranks. yeah, I think freeze is the best all around. The sale is indeed a good deal, and it's not only that taki wants to get you to spend, but they are being generous. There will be many interesting things released come 2014, which is why I tell the younger players to wait, while players like you I urge more to buy what you need or want at the sale, while keeping about 100k in your wallet. In my opinion, freeze benefits you the most later on, and when mounted on hornet you are able to use it's full potential. Also, at your rank freeze m2 is very powerful compared to other guns which gives you an advantage on the battlefield no matter who you face. I'm glad I helped you buddy! It's great to see players like you taking advice and making good decisions, it's not something you see a lot! I'm sure 2014 will also bring many new updates, where petiole who saved will be glad they did! Merry Christmas to you too man!

The generallisimo toy is the last one bud :)

Save it for a later purchase :) You will be glad you did. Yeah, freeze hornet is great for any style of play! It's also a great compliment to your garage!

If you play tdm, then you are going to want isida, if you have isida and play tdm you are not going to want smp. Isida is good with supplies, so I recommend buying some supplies that you use sparingly. You can buy rail later.

I would suggest freeze m2 or hornet m2. Hornet is actually quite stable, I use it m3, but you have to know how to use it. Depending on what hulls you already have, freeze goes well on wasp, hornet, hunter, viking, mammoth, or titan.. So pretty much everything haha. Tell me what you have for hulls already and I'll recommend an option based off that,

Hey everyone, sorry for letting the questions build up, I do my best to answer all of the ones I see while I'm awake, but I have to sleep so I can't asnwer them while I am asleep, sorry. I will answer them all when I wake up though. It seems you are doing best with firebird, so you should go for that. Even though madness is a huge map, you can still do great with short range weapons. I had first place and well over a 2.0 DL in madness on the test server with freeze hornet (Pro battle, no supplies, no MUs) You already have a short range gun, so I think you would have fun buying m2 rail to mix it up. I DO NOT recommend paint, unless you can buy rustle, sandstone, digital, etc. Even then, only buy ONE until you unlock higher ranks, at which point buy TWO or THREE such as clay, inferno, prodigi, whatever you feel comfortable with. DOn't waste crystals on pety paints. Yes, I do. I have viking and freeze m3, it's my favorite combination, so I have to recommend it! It's great if you want to play moderately in short/med maps and still do well, and possible to use for defence purposes in long range maps, unless you use supplies, in which case it can also be used for an effective assault. Buy both if you don't have another upgraded light hull (wasp) and if you don't have another medium hull (hunter, dictator) if you do have one, buy the other. EG: You have hunter m1, just buy hornet m1, llikewise if you have wasp m1, just buy viking m1 Railgun and hornet m2 is a combination that suits many among your ranks, and personally I think you would have fun playing it. Plus, it's good to have an m2 hull, and you don't really need thunder when you have rail. Buying rustle paint, for you, is something I WOULD recommend. Unless, you want to have crystals when you rank up to buy the m3's. The way I think about it, will the purchase I want to make help me earn those crystals back, so I have my crystals, and the thing I bought previously? Usually, the answer is just save up for what I really want later on, in your case it would be saving for m2 smoky/m3 hornet.

Like others are saying, wait to rank up before you decide to buy a paint. Don't buy Electra if you are a rail, it won't help you that much. Get a paint that protects against the guns you will more likely be facing - thunder or rail. That means get a paint like Corrosion, Sandstone, Rustle, digital, or just wait

If you still need advice, or want some in the future, post here > http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=180349&page=203 < instead of making a whole new topic, that topic is for people who are seeking advice, just like you!

I'm not sure if you folks are taking any requests, but if you could make something freeze hornet, or freeze viking related that would make my day. Your work is fantastic already though, I have to say. Never seen work this good!

Well I think you should choose what you like, as in the end it will work better for you. It's hard to play with something you don't like. Yeah, I'll give you a little more. Part of Tanki's ploy is to get you to buy something at every sale, and I think it is a good one. The thing I urge players to think about however, is what you're buying necessary, or are you getting it just so you can have something new and feel like part of all the excitement? I personally have bought random gimmicks for pleasure, beacuse there was a sale at the time. I'ts easier to do at the higher ranks because you have more crystals, and more options. I don't want players just to buy buy buy whenever there is a sale, because after the sale when you actually get around to using it, you will find yourself ranked up and wishing you had just saved at the sale. The reaosn I think you will find this with dictator, is because you already have so many hulls, covering light medium and heavy, so there is no need to get another! Also, why waste your first m2 hull purchase on a dictator when it could be something exciting! Not saying dictator is bad, it's actually alright, just when you have so many other good hulls it's not worth it to buy another. Your thought of trying to rank up quickly isn't a bad one, but I don't think it will happen unless you play consitently all day until the sale. It may happen, but even then, you would have wasted crystals. There will be more sales.

You should post it here http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=182576&page=65&hl=suggestions+and+ideas&do=findComment&comment=3293919 in ideas and suggestions. It will be looked at sooner this way!

If you defend, you may want to try out Freeze! If now, railgun is fine and viking would be a good choice for a defending - style player. Yes, you would stand out! Maybe you don't want to though, makes a more easy target! Just kidding man, but still Dictator is not what it used to be, and I think you should stick with what you have.

Just get it all then! What hulls do you already have? I say you should not buy the pack unless you don't have a hull you like Save for sure, it may be tempting to get something but I say you should hold off since dictator isnt that good and you have a few hulls already

Get freeze and hornet m1. It is a very good combo for your rank, easy to use, easy to win with! Don't buy a paint until you can get a ONE that you will use for medium ranks, and then set your aim high on TWO or THREE high grade paints like Zeus or Inferno.

Viking is more common among your rank players as it is stronger and cheaper and easier to unlock. Freeze is my favorite gun, so I reccomend it to anyone! Can't go wrong with freeze.

I think what he means is shots/m means shots PER minute, not how fast it reloads.. If a fun has 6 shots per minute that is worse than having 8 shots per minute. It's a context problem..

Good choice, after all you aren't THAT far away! And brandybaby means don't buy a paint until you can get rustle I believe

Do not Micro Upgrade m1 weapons, wait for m2 if you must. Don't get paints either until something better is available to you. Viking is the better hull for thunder of the two. If you must go ahead, I'm sure you will find a use for it. Though I think waiting for rustle would benefit you in a greater way.

You don't need a paint 'earlier' in my opinion. You will be a higher rank longer than a lower rank, so saving the hassle of looking for paints to cover cedars weakness would seem to be a good idea. Plus you can use rustle forever if you wish once it is MU'd. Overall rustle gives you more options despite the wait to rank up.

M1 hornet and m1 thunder looks to be the best based off of your current garage. You could also just get hornet and save for later upgrades.

Yes I do like it. It's better than viking, but for that many crystals you should get m3 Titan like I'm doing :D and what is your high account nickname? Option 5 if you ONLY play silence, 4 if you wanna be versatile.

This is really well put together, as is brandybaby's this is going to help me a lot later on, thanks to the huge amounts of effor both you guys put into this table. I'm sure many others will appreciate it as well :)

I'm glad you made the right choice! You're welcome dude! Viking m3 is more balenced and versatile for many different turrets Well no matter how many you are left with, you will need to figure out how to manage your crystals. W all have problems doing that so don't be ashamed. Just keep saving, and work hard to keep the crystals until you can get the gun you want. Don't buy paints or supplies even on sales until you have what you want
