No it won't. For M2's I'm just saying be ready to buy them or just save Crystals in case of a Sale and such. You should buy Hornet as I said. You only have one M1 Hull- Mammoth, so Hornet should make a nice addition. After that be ready to save for either a Good Paint or M2 Weapon/ M2 Hull. (When choosing what to upgrade first consider the facts. An example would be Freeze/Mammoth- which to upgrade first to M2? Well Mammoth M2 has a bigger difference to M1, so logically you'd get M2 Mammoth./ Another example would be what to upgrade: M2 Firebird, or M2 Hunter? Well M2 Firebird has a much bigger difference than Hunter, so logically you'd get M2 Firebird first.) For paints, you should get a paint that you'd like to look at and beneficial to you. Like, you wouldn't buy something like Spark or Dragon. No Ricochets around. Get the paint that protects against the Gun you hate most. Important: Wait for Sales. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you find Isida as a boring gun to use? Firebird M2 -> 94,600 Crystals at Major Rank. Smoky M2 -> 114,800 Crystals at Colonel Rank Isida -> 68,000 Crystals at 3rd Lieutenant Rank.

5 hours a day? Whoa. You should limit yourself. :lol: The Crystal-fund isn't worth it at low ranks if that's what you're aimed at. Listen to Raphael2. :P Get Hornet first. Then, since Wasp M1 is so cheap, once you reach Colonel rank you can get M2 wasp if you want. 1. Make sure you get an M2 combination as soon as possible. (Hull, Weapon) A good paint is recommended. 2. Don't get everything to M1. 3. Only buy one paint that lasts a long time like Forester. Don't buy every paint in the Garage because you won't use them and it'll be a waste of crystals. Don't buy Dragon just 'cause it's expensive and looks like something advanced. Ricochet was back in the days before Re-balance. Nobody uses it anymore. :o Well not the majority that is. I'd say get Hornet. True: You do get one-shotted by Drugging Thunders. Solution: Make them kill themselves by pressing up against them while sucking their life away. Most of the time they'll feel proud when they kill you and self-destruct. So I recommend if you're doing this with an un-drugging Thunder, damage his health a little bit. Then he'll shoot you. Right after he shoots, hold that spacebar down. More than likely you'll get him as a kill and he'll be annoyed. Or if he is reluctant to shoot, keep tapping on your spacebar to flash the electric-ammo Isida has a bit. He'll think you're out of energy and he'll shoot. Then hold that spacebar down and you'll kill him. Sometimes though you'll have to let him shoot you two times. However, after he hits you once hit him some more to regain health thus to survive the next hit. Thunder has a slower reload. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- True: You do get one-shotted by Railguns. Solution: Get a Forester paint. You'll survive majority of the M1 Shots, not to mention on rare ocassions you can survive M2. On very rare ocassions though. Doesn't happen everyday. Warning: After Micro-upgrades, people will upgrade Railguns and the stats will be all mixed up. More than likely, you're going to get One-shotted even though you have Forester on. I suggest getting Digital or Tundra paints. I have a feeling that Micro-upgrades are going to change gameplay- a lot. So consider those Micro-upgrades which will be coming soon before buying anything.

The Isida probably died from the Thunder. Just saying. You know the stakes in CTF is quite high. Even if you lose by just 1 flag you get such a low amount of crystals.

Yes it's pretty good. Since you only have M1 Mammoth, try to get M1 Hornet or something. If you use Isida/Mammoth: 1. You'll only be able to stay at Base-camp protecting the flag and healing. I guess you can try fighting, but it'll be tough with a turtle-speed. 2. Good on Drugs. 3. If you see a Drugger, crash with him head on. It will stall him and give your team enough time to respawn and kill him. Remember, he can't advance until he kills you and you have 200 Armor and still regaining. You can also sit on your flag. An annoying Tactic with Mammoths. (You'll basically supervise your base. Lol. :lol: Be a good supervisor and keep your Snipers/Defenders safe not to mention keep a sharp eye on your enemy. Turn your turret, not your hull.) But yes I do recommend you use an M0 Hull like Hornet. Wasp at M0 is too fragile. If you have trouble using it then don't buy it. Stay with Freeze since I see that you like it. For goodness sake's upgrade it to M1. 1. You aren't supposed to fight head-on with Railgun. 2. Hit and Run. 3. Try to Snipe. 4. Peek-a-boo tactic. 5. Kill-steal (although your teammates will hate you for it) 6. When behind a wall, hit spacebar then drive out. Remember, your Railgun needs to charge first. So if you come out first then charge, you'll be vulnerable to be shot, flipped, or unbalanced. And no Railgunner wants that. It's great in TDM (Hit n' Run), DM (Kill-steal/Snipe/Get a good spot), CTF (Kill-steal, aim for Noobs). I like shooting at Druggers to either unbalance them or see how many shots it takes to kill them. (Knowing that each shot does considerable damage even to a drugger) :) In general I think in CTF: Railgun benefits the team, but it doesn't benefit the User whereas Freeze is le ultimate Flag Guardian.

Good day for us. Bad days for pets such as Dogs and cats. -_-

The point of it is to get players to spend real money. I don't think they'd do it when they can just earn the crystals. That's dishing out Free-crystals, something Tanki would never do.

And they do actually pose a severe threat. I was in Silence CTF once on Blue-Team. There was a Fly-hacker who was also drugging who had Viking/Firebird. He would go to the bottom of the cliff, fly up, kill every Sniper, take our flag, and fly off. He was good at controlling himself. He only captured one flag I think. By then every Freeze/Railgun on my team was waiting at the cliff. Another example also took place in silence. I couldn't get any Screenshots though. Didn't save them. But the Ricochet/Hornet was on my team and this guy was adept at controlling himself. He took the enemy flag and flew wildly away and he captured like 15 flags for us. The Blue team couldn't catch any of our flags because the hacker would take their flag and shoot them from midair. So we basically won cause of a hacker.

True. That's why sometimes it's better to be a ranged gunner. (Railgun/Thunder/Smoky). If I see a flying one on a roof, I always try to aim for him first. B)

Smoky! In Polygon DM I caught up to a M1 Viking/M2 Rico with my Wasp M1/ Smoky M1. Criticals be flying everywhere man! With Thunder you're probably in the front lines killing every shred of Tank-life. Well with Smoky I think you'll have to withdraw from that tactic unless you're drugging or have an Isida to back you up. Stay behind a little and keep firing. Smoky is unlike Thunder remember. At ranged, Thunder's damage decreases dramatically. Smoky, not decreased much. Along with the firing rate, criticals be everywhere.

I think this is a sale for 4th of July. Even if it's released on Friday. (Probably because everyone complains that they don't play Tanki Online on Holidays whereas they spend time with Family and Friends thus they can't buy things on Holiday-Sales and the sales become useless to them)

Get M2 Isida. Just look at the Stat improvements from M1-M2. It's great. Just get M1 Twins later. With M2 Isida you'll earn more Crystals and Points. If you pick Twins M1, you will not be very satisfied when going up with all those Isidas. You know how annoying it is when you're shooting with Twins at a tank backed by Isida?! I have Twins M1, trust me, get Isida M2. If you get Twins M1 may Tanki-Shame be upon thou. :angry: :D :lol:

If you already have an M1 Weapon, I'd suggest Hornet M1. Isida or Twins? Well that's up to you. Personally I'd go with Isida, but Twins is a good gun too. Try out Twins M0 with double power, and you'll get a feel of what's M1. Logically I assume you've got an M1 Hull. Railgun M2 is unlocked at 1st Lieutenant, so you've still got 2 ranks to go. I'd say sure. Go ahead and buy it on the sale if you want a different gameplay. Earns for points to in CTF. Railgun is absolutely amazing in TDM. :lol:

Sadly I will be ignoring this Sale. I hope Railgun Sale doesn't come soon though. Or at least give me a month.

Maybe on the Battle list, you can also see how many Gold Boxes have fallen already in the battle? I don't know, just a thought because after Gold Box drops there is usually a drug war.

Today I've witnessed Icerugby use M1 Rail and M2 Wasp. That's it, I have my scope on Railgun M2. Ignoring any other sale. Must, get, Railgun! M2 is purple anyway soo . ..

The title of this topic reminded me of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Thought this was going to be some parody of it; a Tanki-Online version. Lol that'd be ironic. :lol: :D

He said that he was active in 2010, but now nowadays. So he probably gained those 200 posts in a short time in the year 2010, but stopped right after.

It's not leeching actually. In exchange you're letting them live on when they should've died 2 or 3 times already. As an Isida/Wasp user I've never gotten kicked- well so far. :lol: I do drug when there is a need to. I never play games that exceed one-hour. Not my type of game. A big bad M3 Isida? A. Stall him/ B. Lay a mine/ C. Flip him and move on/ D. Tell your teammates that he's coming. First Aid? Well I just saved you one. Nice information, but no thanks. :D P.S. Even before the Update 161 where they extended the rank limits for battle, I could already play with Generalissimos. So I'm no newby when it comes to high-ranked battles. :P Although tons of druggers these days. :wacko: -------------------------------------------------------------- I do understand you though. Those low-ranked ones who come in are sometimes useless and just get in the way of their team instead of the enemies. However, do acknowledge there are a few who do actually make good additions to the team. :lol:

What rank are your friends? If they're my rank or something, you can play with them once you reach something like Warrant officer I think. They extended the rank limit in this game by a lot in the recent updates. If they're Generalissimo, I think you can still play with them if you reach my rank.

I think you're right. :P America has it's freedom . . .for now. America is about le people- which the government is not caring for right now.

In Conclusion: The US should just get out of every other country (Especially Middle-east etc.) because it's just turning things worse. It should focus on reforming itself and all since it's in such a bad economical state. The ''war'' in the Middle-east does not need to include the US. The US is just wasting countless lives. Once the good people are gone, who are the new generations supposed to look up to? And that sir, is why we have a messed up gene pool. Good day sir. I blame Obama.

You could join high ranked battles- but it's safer to do it once you get to a higher rank like Lieutenant. And when joining high-ranked battles, never use offensive turrets. Meaning always use isida. Keep healing your teammates. However, be a good Isida. Bad isidas are just a waste to the higher ranks and like Funini said, they should join battles with ranks suited for them. And if you do join higher ranks with Isida, get isida M1. Big difference from Isida M0. :lol:

Oh my Tanks, the lag. Just think of the Lag! But I'd like it. :thumbsup:

I did not notice that. :mellow: Why do I not notice these things? I even forgot to post on the Congratulatory Topic when I reached 1,000. :angry: Well thanks. :D

Indeed. My post only gives you the gist. If you want more detailed versions of each section, look there. They also show you the tactics- in action! Whoa. who wouldn't want that? :lol:
