Which one should I get? If you said neither please put what you think I should get in the comments below.

I was thinking Tundra or Cedar, possibly Electra?

I just bought my m1/m1 combo and I am looking for a good paint to buy. I am using m1 twins/m1 viking. I almost always play CTF. I usually play on Serpuhov, Silence, Iran, Kungar, Bobruisk, and Future. I am more of an attacker but will defend if I see people coming for our flag/winning and just need to run out time. What paint, unlocked at major or lower, should I get?

As a great tankman once said (DidYouKnowThat) in a once great topic (What to buy? What to use?): I hear Dictator sucks because it's too tall. It's true actually. I've done some testing with my wasp, and I pressed up against a Dictator and his Railgun missed me completely. It shot overhead. Lol! Then I continued to drain his health with my Isida. :D With Viking you can go turtle style and kill everything around you! You're a low-rider tank so you won't miss the guys next to you. However, hitting overhead will be quite the problem. With Dictator it won't be, you don't have to drive backwards. With Viking however you will, and you might have to put some space between you and the wall the enemy is standing upon because he's so tall. However, I'd say Viking would be a better choice. With Dictator you'll have to practice a great deal of time with it so you get the feel of it. Besides, study shows that people call the Dictator an old boot.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In addition to this, you have to look Long-term. Look at this, Dictator can be upgraded onto M2 at 1st lieutenant for 81,800 Crystals. Viking is at Lieutenant Colonel 99,900 Crystals. True, Dictator would be the better choice. However, take a look at this. For M3, Dictator needs you to be Generalissimo and costs a whopping 223,000 Crystals. Viking only needs you at Lieutenant General for 195,600 Crystals! Let me ask you something, do you really want to wait until Generalissimo? No, you do not want to. Dictator is best kept at a Secondary hull- in which case I think you should wait until you are a higher rank. Right now, you should be only focusing on gaining your M2/M2 or M3/M3 Combo. After you get such a combo, you should focus on other guns/Hulls. ----------------------------------------------Now lets look at the Stats. at M1, Dictator is clearly the better choice. It only lacks 1 Hp and surpasses Viking's speed by .6, which is very big. However, you will not be staying at such a rank for so long. Soon you'll upgrade to M2. M2 is basically M3 because M3's cost so much. That's my opinion anyway. So, at M2 Viking is clearly the better choice because it surpasses Dictator by 29 Hp and is only lacking .1 speed! Now, take a look at M3. Dictator needs you to be Generalissimo! Clearly Viking would be better because you get to get M3 easier, and quicker.Think of this as a Marathon. The Dictator will give you a good run, however, Viking is the one that will get you to the Finish Line. The theme may just be: Slow and Steady, Wins the Race. Viking is just that. Well, it's not that slow, but it is steady. I hope you don't mind DidYouKnowThat that i took your words :D

If you could only have one turret and one hull from m0 to m1 to m2 and to m3 and you could not change combos what would it be and why. I would have wasp-railgun the most fun gameplay ever :)

I had to make the same decision. Dictator will not last you. Even though m1 is better m2 dictator is not better than m2 viking and will not last you until m3.

how much protection does a paint need in order for it to be considered effective against that turret?

I know twins are really OP but freeze has a really good ability, cheaper, and you can get m2 really fast. So even with all this, is twins still better? Plus, which is better with viking and in CTF?

thank you all for the good advice

DidYouKnowThat can you please answer these questions: should I get m1 railgun or m1 thunder and which is better for attacking, which it better for sniping, and which is better for defending.

Can you please tell me which is better for attacking, which it better for sniping, and which is better for defending.

Thats why I asked whether I should get m1 railgun or m1 thunder in the first place.

not for shaft or railgun

I usually snipe but the thing with smoky is that at farther range it decreases damage, so the the already low damage decreases even further and again LOW DAMAGE.

But it takes a long time to even kill the weak tanks. And when you play against higher level people, smoky is not as effective as the other m1 guns. Plus, in CTF, when you are going for the flag you can never kill the people defending it and when you are defending it, you can never kill the person taking the flag.

I never said smoky is bad. It is really good in TDM. But, in CTF you always get kill stolen. As for the video, he is using an m3 smoky. At m1, it takes 4 hits just to kill a wasp.

So i recently bought viking m1 and im saving for either railgun m1 or thunder m1. I bought smoky m1 not to long ago and it was a disappointment and I do not want to make the same mistake again. Smoky simply does not do enough damage. So should I buy m1 rail or m1 thunder. Railgun does a lot of damage but it has a slow reload time. Thunder has splash damage which might be bad considering i like to charge the enemy.

but the thing is m1 dictator is better then m1 viking. So lets say crystals is not a problem, which is better for railgun, m1 viking or m1 dictator?

should i buy viking m1 or save for dictator m1. I would save for dictator m1, but i also want to buy railgun m1 and dictator m1 will waste my crystals and it is unlocked later

Right now im using M1 mammoth and m0 shaft, should i buy m1 smokey or wait till m1 shaft. Also, what is the best paint for me at this level?
