Three M1 turrets and 3 M1 hulls, you are set. Save up for M2's now. You should probably look at getting an M2 heavy hull.

Twins M2 is better than Thunder M2, IMO. Twins M2 can still be used in M3 ranks, like Firebird and Smoky. Thunder HAS TO be M3 to compete there.

In my opinion, yes. 1) Isida doesn't have a great angle-of-fire 2) Dictator is not fast enough to keep up with most hulls, except those who are fatter that itself 3) Dictator doesn't have a large enough pool of HP to sit and camp on your flag. You would be better off using Hornet (Light), Viking (Medium) or Titan (Heavy). Dictator is just too awkward for Isida. It is great for Thunder or Smoky, though!

There is usually a sale that encompasses both Christmas and New Year's. In previous years, the dev's set the sale up so that one day all turrets are 50% off, the next day it is hull, the next paints, and the next supplies/passes. I would also expect a MU sale then too. The Halloween sale will most likely be 25% off the entire garage I think, but that is just my own speculation. The dev's never reveal what sales are going to be happening until then happen. Yes, you have Rail/Hornet M2 so you can play XP. Just make sure that you have a PRO battle pass and a qualifying paint.

If you eat pure sulfur you will b ded. So, what would I do? I would have to attend your funeral :P

- Nothing (save up, better stuff is coming) - Viking M3 - Railgun M3 - Smoky M3, Prodigi - Rock

M2 Viking is the most versatile hull. A great balance of speed and health. However, since you have Firebird and Railgun I might recommend Hornet because they pair better than with Viking.

Trick question? LOL :blink: (Definitely Rock, cause it rocks!)

Those turrets are all good turrets. Yes, you probably spent a little too much on them, but so long as you get a good hull soon you should be perfectly fine. Hornet is a great choice, and I would also recommend Viking so you have a secondary option with more health. Try to narrow your purchases down to two turrets and two hulls if you can. Being focuses like that helps you with your spending.

Either Railgun M2 or Rico M2. Vulcan loses most of it's power after M2 until you can get it M3 due to hulls with higher protection, paints, and player skill. Railgun lets you play XP, but Rico is OP.

I used my M2 Firebird yesterday in a Polygon deathmatch. I got 6th place, behind three druggers and two other people. If I had it M3 I would have been ahead of those other two. It is still effective, but M3 dominates even more :)

Thunder M3 is a great turret, but you will need to pump it with MU's in a few ranks to keep up with others getting M3 hulls and M3-level paints.

I always like hearing others opinions (if only sometimes to hear my own thoughts validated :P ). I was thinking Zeus would be the best paint to get first, since I have no Fire protection, then Clay. Turrets, I am deciding between Firebird and Smoky. I think that the combo I will get will be Smoky/Viking/Zeus, because it addresses all of the areas that I don't have a lot in. I lean away from Firebird since I have it M2, while my Smoky is M0. Anyways, thanks for the input! :)

FINALLY! SO PUMPED! Over 130k spent trying to get XT, and I got Rail XT today! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D So, what else to plan for? Current M3's: Isida, Ricochet, Thunder, Hornet, Titan (Soon to be railgun) Paints worth anything: Tundra, Rustle, Rock Playing style: any Maps: Silence, Noise, Polygon, Rio Please recommend one turret, hull, and paint. Thanks in advance! :)

You cannot keep a super long steam of fire, but that should be good. It is advantageous to keep on the move when you have a long range turret that people can see where the shots are coming from, unless you have a large amount of energy in your friendly alien technology. In short, yes. That would be good.

Only if you have a fat hull and a friendly piece of alien technology with you.

Thunder or Railgun. The maps you specified are too big for Twins and Rico at your rank.

You are a long ways off from getting either. I prefer Titan M3 because of the extra pushing power.

By professonal, you imply that we get PAID to play Tanki (I wish that were true :(). I think you mean experienced :) Jokes aside, I had your dilemma a few months ago, and I got Titan M3. I have never regretted it once. The next paint you should get is Rock, because Twins is one of the most annoying turrets, plus Rock also has great Isida and decent Freeze protection.

M0: Ricochet > Vulcan > Freeze > Shaft M1: Ricochet > Freeze > Vulcan > Shaft M2: Ricochet > Shaft > Vulcan > Freeze M3: Ricochet > Vulcan > Shaft > Freeze

With Hornet M2 as your primary hull, Thunder. Once you get an M3 Medium hull, go for Hammer.

Isida M3 for now. Save up for XP M3 and Viking M3.

Thunder works really well in Noise when you are on the Red team. You have vantage points that make peaking out and firing very easy. It is best for support/cover fire. Hammer is better if you prefer straight up offense in Noise, though.

Without a SMP you rank slower. Therefore, you have more time to earn crystals at each rank. So yes, not buying an SMP does, in a way, give you more crystals. Only buy an SMP if you need to collect a lot of exp in a short amount of time, say before a sale or something. Thunder M3 is a total beast, but it needs A LOT of MU's in damage and reload time to be that effective. I terms of attacking wise, I would suggest Hammer > Isida > Thunder. My reasoning is that Hammer is best for straight up attacking, Isida is good for keeping you alive longer, but Thunder is best as a support weapon, not right up in front where you would take your own splash damage. In terms of overall gameplay, I would rate Thunder > Hammer > Isida. Even though I prefer Isida, it needs MU's after you buy it because it begins to become underpowered once the other M3 turrets begin to unlock.

I use Titan M3, just because I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of HP to move a significant amount faster. Inferno is great if all you care about is Firebird and Freeze protection, You would just need to MU the Firebird protection, and then Zeus would not be worth it to buy at all. Rock is my best paint at this point. This is going to change during the next 50% sale, since I ranked yesterday :) I will be getting Clay, and Lumberjack instead of Zeus. I can always MU the Firebird of Lumberjack a bit, and I value the 30% Isida protection higher than the 25% Smoky protection from Zeus since I play mostly small/Medium maps where Isida is more of an annoyance. For Smoky protection I will probably get Savannah and MU the Smoky protection a few steps (but that is later, if I need to).
