Anything on drugs is scary.

Hmm. What is your style of gameplay? If you excel at close combat, then I'd suggest for you Freeze. If you're the Medium-ranged type who doesn't like long reloads, then I'd suggest Thunder. It's pretty amazing on Drugs. For Railgun, you want to time your shots correctly, and pinpoint them right. One missed shot means a lot. And not to mention for Railgun you must be patient. So tell me your gameplay. Then I'll be able to supply you with more tips. Remember, choose the Hulls/Turrets that you can use well and have fun with. This is a game after all. The set that you're most comfortable playing with is the best choice- even if it's something others find distasteful. Why? Well because you'll be able to use it to its full potential and more! And it's always fun to experiment with a weapon. Create new tactics and ways to demolish the enemy. This is very good not only in gameplay, but your financial path. Not only will boosted gameplay because it's your favorite weapons of choice improve crystal income, but since it is a weapon of your taste, it will be an interesting weapon for you. An interesting weapon will last you a long time, so you won't feel the urge to spend more crystals on another weapon/hull and waste crystals. Remember, a weapon that you are comfortable with enables you to figure out new things to it. If you keep learning new things with it, then it won't actually ever get boring now will it? :) An example would be when I was a newbie. I asked what M1 Weapon I should buy. Everyone suggested me Twins. Ok, I bought it. Guess what? I did not like it. At all! Could not play with it because it just didn't suit my gameplay. Although it is considered to be if not the strongest, but one of the strongest turrets in the Garage (Although in the near future, this gun is getting Nerfed), since it did not suit my taste, it was left in my Garage unused. That is a waste of 35,000 hard-earned crystals! :mellow: I ended up buying almost everything in my Garage to M1- a grave mistake. I now have M1 Ricochet, M2 Freeze, M2 Railgun, M1 Thunder, M1 Isida, M1 Firebird, and M1 Smoky. The only one I've not M1'd is Shaft. I suggest to you to stick with one set. Choose the one you like. Test this out by playing on the Test server if it's open, or using a noob account. You know, just get the M1 things, and test them out to see which one matches you. Right now looking at your rank, your Battle Funds are starting to matter. However, you should still always be on the prowl for Crystal boxes. Especially Gold ones! Hornet or Dictator for Railgun? Well, I find Hornet uncomfortable to use with Railgun. I've seen it in action, and went up against them. In my opinion, they're not very bright and can be tricked easily. :lol: Now that's not directed to all Hornet/Railgun users, just the ones I find in battle- and tend to destroy. :) You see, the thing is that the turret on Hornet is right smack in the middle of the hull. You see, this bothers me immensely. Why? Well I use the Peek-a-Boo tactic a lot. Hehe, when using Railgun, I'm first behind a wall. I'm still behind the wall right? I take careful aiming at the enemy, then I hit spacebar, then I drive out from the wall. Why? Well Railgun has to charge you see, so if you expose yourself first, then charge your shot, you will be vulnerable to enemy fire, and simple guns like Thunder, Smoky, Shaft, and even other Railguns can make you miss. Anyways, back to my primary point. When Hornets do this, their hull is exposed before their turret is. I use this to my advantage and before their turret is exposed, I strike them with my Railgun on the corner of their hull, spinning them to a 180-360 turn. Sometimes even flipping them or killing them. and of course, mercilessly making them miss. Also, another good way is to feign a Railgun. The latter can be quite surprisingly stupid when confronted the right way. :lol: Even I yield to a feign every now and then. You see, if an enemy Railgun has his eye on you: 1) Try to find another hole to pop out of. He'll be trained on the last part of the wall you came out of. Hehehe, instead of coming out of that way again, go out another way. Shoot him and he'll be caught off guard. However, if you find someone who plays like me (Anti-Railgunner Railgunner. :P ) Then you'll be in a pickle. You see, I love Rail vs. Rail battles. It's wit against wit. So when the enemy Railgunner is still behind the wall, I know that he knows to shoot when I am either not paying attention or wasted my shot. Well, this is where it gets funny. Instead of concentrating my Railgun itself on him, I move the Railgun's tip away from his hiding spot. Just a bit. Then I see him (Since he is a fat Hornet) with my camera that he is advancing a bit outside the wall, meaning he is about to shoot. Hah! I've caught him in my trap. As soon as I see this, I quickly smack my spacebar before he can, and I aim it at where he's going to pop out. He won't be able to react fast enough and pow, I got him. This strategy works for me whenever I confront a Hornet/Rail that actually has brains. :lol: 2. Another good way is to quickly dart the slightest bit of your hull out of your hiding spot, usually a wall. Then immediately withdraw back to the wall. Don't worry, your enemy will see it. This will trigger the enemy's instinct to fire. Hahaha, he has hit nothing and has wasted his shot. Take this moment to come out of the wall and take proper aim. Or just make a quick-run. THis is also a tactic that can counter the strategy I mentioned above. The enemy may be feigning, so keep your eyes open. There are always adjustments or add-ons that can be attached to these strategies. It just matters on what kind of a person you're pitted against. This is just the root-basics of it all. A gist, you know? So, that's why I'd prefer something like Dictator. The turret on the hull is positioned to all the way at the end of the hull. This is a very good posture. Absolutely marvelous and perfect for these strategies. Dictator isn't bad for Thunder either by the way. And if you do get Railgun, practice kill-stealing. If you do master it like me, well then by M2 you should be able to take part in DM Polygon matches with Generalissimos. Or at least Brigadiers~Marshals. I used to use Wasp, which I consider to be the Mini-me version of Dictator. They look alike, don't you think? Just Dictator is bigger, and Wasp is much faster. Man, I used to be one heck of killer-wasp. I now use Mammoth M2. Very effective with Railgun when used right. ;) I shall return to the Age of the Wasp soon. After I save 102,000 crystals. :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh yes, and to the community. I've bought Freeze M2. Hehe, it's not bad. Not bad at all. Amazing for defense, Druggers got nothing on me. And not too shabby for offense either. So what do ya'll think? I'm now a Mammoth/Freeze/Electra. :lol: And so addicting to drug with. :huh:

That'd make more NS battles I guess. Tanki don't want that. :P

3. Something else M1. Then save for M2's. Then after M2's, you can either get a real good paint or go for M3's.

Use the one you can. Are you sure you're up to Wasp? IMO one of the hardest hulls to use efficiently. If you can't use it, then just play it safe and get Hornet. (Hornet will be one of the best hulls after the Physics update.) ====================================================================================== Ok, now I really want to get Freeze. Druggers these days. Can't stand them at all. :angry: What do you guys think? It'll be my second M2 Weapon. If I get it, then I'm sprinting for the Wasp M2 ASAP. And it'd be pretty nice to fend off Isidas 'cause I've got an Electra.

I log on and Moon Silence- Everywhere! Hah, when Madness comes back. . . .going to be the new Silence. :D

Farewell to Moon Silence ....yeah . .and Farewell to my drugs too. Used like 50 of them and no Gold.

Nice! :o And whoah. . .that's one massive pile up. :D

Indeed. For Thunder, you have to be creative. You can't just wait for the enemies to group up. That's why I like Thunder. ..

When you catch it, it automatically records in Tanki Online I think. So if you caught one, you're already going to get your drugs on October 10th.

Don't do it. They'll clear out soon. I think you should get Hornet M1.

Only in Moon Silence I think.

Tempted to get Freeze to M2 . . . .should I do it. If I do, then I'm broke. 0 crystals left if I do.

Same thing as Dragon Paint.

You know the ramp near the red pipe in Silence map? Tanks usually huddle there. Always great for a Thunder to flush that hiding spot out.

Well it'd be mighty fine to get a Thunder M2. :) Though I'll need to scrape up about 20,000 more crystals to reach 55,000, which is half of 110,000.

With Thunder you have more options in Gameplay. And in the future Twins will be subject to a firing-rate nerf. So I'd say choose Thunder. M1 will last you a long time too.

Well I got the paint 'cause it's Limited Edition. . . Well played for 45 minutes with Generalissimos but still no Gold. I shall try again tomorrow. :lol: Been drugging with Mammoth/Isida/Electra. ;)

Nice! Closest I got was in a Polygon DM full of Gens. 90% of them ignored me for the whole battle even though I killed them. :D

However, Thunder can hit multiple people. Smoky can't stop a group of enemies. Thunder can. And in my opinion, Thunder is more annoying- if used correctly. Cause a ton of damage, then just shoot yourself to avoid death from enemy.

Haha, reminds me of the Ford Exploder. The Pinto car. The fuel tank was at the back I believe. So when the car was hit from behind, Boom! You get the point. But eh, guess that makes Wasp special then. :)

No, a basement.

Nice. Beat a bunch of Gens. also.

They're actually tears. :lol:

What house? :lol:
