Thank you both very much for your suggestions! I think I will go for Thunder M4, and use it with my Wasp M4. It fits my personality the most, and will work great on any future hulls, and great in CP mode which seems to be growing in popularity... at least since I played a year ago. I enjoy the strategy of it, being able to self-destruct on command, the tactical splash-damage aspect, paired with the speed and agility of my wasp, I think I'll have a blast with it. My current favorite combo has been Wasp + Smoky, knocking enemy's aim off constantly is really enjoyable, but im always out in the open when attacking, not so great for a little wasp with zeus paint. After some thought, I believe my future plans are Titan or Mammoth M3, Hunter M3, Ricochet M3, Railgun M3 and 2 medium ranged paints. Clay... so perfect.

Hello everyone... some of you may remember me from when I was very active around a year ago. I'm thinking to come back with this new balancing and recent updates, but not sure what I should invest in. I'm thinking to buy 300-500k of diamonds to kick off the start. I currently own the following equipment: Hulls: Wasp M4, Titan M2, Hunter M2, Mammoth M1 - All other hulls M0. Turrets: Shaft M4, Freeze M3, Isida M2, Smoky M2, Rico M2, Railgun M2, M1 Thunder, M1 Twins, M1 Firebird, others M0 Paints: Zeus, Winter, Loam, Rustle, Electra, Tundra Equipment that I do NOT plan on buying/upgrading: Hulls: Hornet, Viking, Mammoth Turrets: Twins, Firebird, Vulcan I most enjoy skill/tactical style weapons/hulls/maps where I can take advantage of a weapon or hulls unique ability to overcome a less trained opponent. Ricochet and Thunder are very very fun in my opinion, because they have special ways to hit your opponents without necessarily being hit yourself, making them superior in my eyes. My problem is that Rico M3 is extremely far away rank-wise, and everyone (at least they used to) use protection paints against Thunder. I would play with thunder/rico on my wasp. To buy list: Rico M3 (eventually) Thunder M3 An M3 heavy hull for drug-abusing and take-overs. I have not yet decided on mammoth or titan. I will use one with shaft occasionally. A paint (middle range) Railgun M3 (just for XP/BP - I see no reason to buy Hornet, i do not like how it handles at ALL in comparison to wasp, which I have highly at M4.) So if anyone has suggestions or ideas... anything I should consider buying that I don't have listed, with some logical reasoning behind it according to my preferrences, please let me know!

jomama_tanker, on 04 Dec 2014 - 00:18, said: FAIL The whole point of SNIPING is to not be seen. You've just completely stripped that away with this update. Probably the most ******ed turret update since I began playing in March 2014. If you want to give a "hint" to make things "fair", then show an illuminated dot on the target's hull or on objects nearby. At most perhaps show a tiny red dot on the sniper. But to show a laser from point A to point B is idiotic. Tanki developers needs to rethink this one. Absolutely stupid! For the naysayers I add...shaft is already purposely disadvantaged in close quarter combat. The turret turns relatively slowly, arcade damage is significantly lower, and reload time is fairly long for sniping. There was absolutely no need whatsoever to further handicap the turret with this update. Experienced players know how to deal with snipers. ^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^

Not just wasp, fully MU'd speed of wasp, with 0/25 weight, with an M3 railgunner with maxed out impact force MU :)

Oh come on, you call that flying? :P

As long as you arent fighting Brigadiers with Railgun M3... I think you should be fine. You might occasionally die in one hit though.

So I logged on today, joined a match... and I see this havoc LOL.. how to lag... 60 FPS, 0 Ping. Come at me.

Come to think of it, some of these could be used for rankup parties as well! The person about to rankup could be at the head of the Dragon/Python, killing an enemy for the last rankup kill. Or The Predator idea, a Jaguar (the player about to rank up) could be chasing a bunch of Zebras (safari paints) and as he captures one and kills it, he would rank up! These would make some pretty awesome videos.

Okay, first of all I asked you for advice on equipment because you pretty much have a full M3 garage and you always want to show off your stuff to people. I figured you could answer my questions about equipment because of this. It has nothing to do with this topic at all, nor does the advice you gave. In your message, you said 'Btw, are you a girl?" (See spoiler for message) Now firstly, I barely know you at all, aside from the few forum posts I've seen you make. Therefore, I wasn't even speaking of you, when I used the word 'pervert.' If you are not one, you shouldn't have taken offense to this to start with. I was referring to a handful of players who had abused a friendship in hopes of receiving personal gain which I will not state by name, but they know who they are. The thread was 'directed' if you wish to use that term, at you, because it answered your simple question in the topic's title. That was the only reason. I even told you this 10 minutes ago as you asked me if you could post this beforehand, and I explained that it was hardly directed at you, but if you so desired you could post it. And you went ahead and did it, there was no reason to bring this to a forum thread when you already knew that I wasn't calling you personally a pervert on Skype. (See spoiler) I created this topic for a reason, not because it relates to Tanki Online in general, but it heavily relates to my experiences and connections in Tanki over the last year. Why do you think this was posted in the Off-Topic section? And when everyone you meet thinks you're a different gender, they simply treat you differently. I was apologizing for my error that went in over my head, and as you can see people are appreciative of me telling the truth. If you took offense to this, as I stated, it was hardly my intention. I did not 'crave' for you to listen to my music, I am a pianist and singer who wishes to obtain a career in the music industry, and as a means of receiving feedback from people before performing on real stages in person, Skype calls allow me to work on my craft and understand how the listeners feel about my work. Just because I ask you to listen to me playing a song or I ask for your input doesn't mean I 'crave' for your ears to give me some approval or something. That is not the purpose. You ASKED me to 'socialise' with you. (See spoiler) What was I supposed to say when you asked me to 'socialise?' We never talk, so there was nothing to discuss, therefore I offered music since you were obviously bored and wanted me to associate with you. I never once said anywhere, ever, that you, DNA, were a pervert. You made the assumption and took the link to heart, even after I told you that the link was not for such purpose. It was linked to answer your simple question, and it did just that. P.S. There is no reason to use big words to try to sound intelligent. It's counter-productive when you spell them wrong. Briefly wait as you anticipate more avocations to embark upon? Seriously? Okay ZiAa.

No lol, I promise its not him. Multiple people have heard Ach (Fen-Harel) on mic before from clan wars to confirm it.

Lol? I'm deeeefinitely not a girl, if you want I'll sing for you next time while playing and you'll know in an instant haha.

I find it funny how I never told a single person I was a 'boy' aside from the two mentioned in my post, yet a considerable number of people 'knew' it to be fact from the start haha.

Your turn loki :)

Oh? Do share.
