I reccommended Rock because it gives Twins/Isida/Freeze protection all at the same time, but if you are willing to change paints in the middle of a battle every now and again, then stick with what you have. Clay is an absolute must. First thing you should get upon reaching Gissmo :) Then Africa.

If I had the money, I would absolutely get Zeus and Firebird M3 before my rank allowed me to get them, hands down!

if you don't have Viking M3, then absolutely.

If you fully MU a turret or hull, as soon as you reach the required rank the next M automatically unlocks for you. However, you are talking about MU'ing a M0! Just buy the M1; it is much cheaper than MU'ing the M0.

Two reccommendation for you. 1. Get Rock. It will work amazingly with your Mammy/Twins in Polygon CP. 2. Pour MU's into Inferno. Compre a fully MU'ed Inferno to a fully MU'ed Zeus. It has much the same protection, and is soooooooo much cheaper. Inferno = 50 Firebird, 50 Freeze, 23 Twins $$$ = 636,002 (base cost only, not including speed ups) Zeus = 50 Firebird, 50 Freeze, 50 Smoky $$$ = 1,000,002 (base cost only, not including speed ups)

ricochat. definately.

Ok guys, question for my alt account at WO5. It has: M1: Wasp, Titan, Vulcan, Freeze, Hammer, Firebird M0: everything else Paint: Forester, Marine Crystals: 57,004 Question: Should I get the Freeze M2/Hunter M1/Tundra kit? (I would need 6k more crystals to get it, but I think I can get that through the 5x funds on Sunday) Or should I get something else?

You are only one rank away from Hunter M1, which is far better than Viking M1. I would go for Hunter/Ricochet. HOWEVER, there is a kit out right now for Hunter/Freeze/Tundra. GET IT if you have ~63,000. All three items in the kit are at 50%, the best any sale will ever get you.

Almost always do M4. Then others do not know if your equipment is upgraded or not and you can get a slight advantage.

Im kinda in the same boat, waiting to tank up to get Rico M3, then gonna focus on MU's for Rico/Titan since I already have some MU's on my other M3's (Isida, Thunder, Hornet). Of course, that is after I have enough for Clay at 50%. :D

1. Get Ricochet M3 two ranks early 2. Get Hunter M3 one rank early 3. Get Lumberjack (ultimate close-range paint, closely followed by Rock) three ranks early 4. 40% off base price Total: Amazing buy if you have the crystals for it.

Definitely worth it, especially as the only other M3 turret you have is Isida. Only thing is that both are shorter-ranged turrets, but if you play on medium/small maps most of the time it should not matter whatsoever. :)

For attacking, Hornet should be your go-to hull. It works very well with Freeze, Isida, and Ricochet. Since you play mostly in medium/small maps however, I would urge you to go for Viking M1. Viking also works well with all three of those turrets and can be used for attacking or defending, so you would not have to visit the garage to change roles in the middle of a battle. Viking M2 unlocks 9 ranks later than Hornet M2 however, so you would have to wait a while to upgrade it. Getting both would be a great balance of hulls for your and your playing style. My reccommendation - Viking M1, then Hornet M1 if you have the crystals. (you would need to get about 15,000 more crystals to get both during a 50% sale)

Another question for future planning. Since I will not be getting a medium hull until I reach Gissmo, should I at that point go for Viking M3 or Dictator M3? I have both at M2 right now, but since Dictator unlocks at Gissmo and Viking unlocks at Lieutenant General (three stars), would Dictator M3 with no MU's be substantially better than Viking M3 without MU's?

I love the new missions! I got almost 10k today from my three missions today, so now I have a question: Should I use some of the extra crystals that I earn each day from missions to MU my current M3 equipment (Isida, Thunder, Hornet, Titan, Rock), or should I save all of it so I have a better chance at having enough crystals to get Ricochet M3 during the next 50% sale (maybe Tanker's Day, Halloween, or Christmas)?

September may not yield a 50% sale. He may be waiting until Christmas.

What maps do you play on? That will determine what turret you should get. If you play a lot on Polygon (especially CP), go Twins since everyone has a limited amount of space they can run off to. Twins on larger maps ends up being the heavy hull defender/flag-squatter, while the Smoky becomes cover fire for your teammates while they head into get the flag with Firebird and a trailing Isida.

If you have Forester and Metallic, you should not worry about paints. Wait until you can get paints that have at least 30% protection against one turret that you find annoying, such as Tundra and Cedar. Then you should wait until you get to Marshall and above for more paints; you will need the rest of your crystals to upgrade your other equipment. Having Viking is a good idea. If you also get Hornet, you should be set for almost any battle. If you get Twins M1, also get a medium or long range weapon, like Railgun or Ricochet. Then you have four different combos, not including paints. Definitely a sale during Halloween, no idea what it will be. Last year I think it was 25%, Double funds, and 3,000 crystal Gold Pumpkins (Boxes). Christmas will for sure have 50%, so it will be up to you if you want to wait the extra two months (I will be doing just that :P).

Firstly, You need to get to WO4 by then, so you have some work to do. :) Secondly, I kind of know what you are talking about. When I am driving forward, I cannot turn left. I have to let up on the forward key, press the left key, and quickly go back to the forward key in order to not lose a lot of momentum. With Twins, I would say go for it. It's reload time makes up for whatever you might miss while letting up on the spacebar for a second or two. It is one of the most deadly M1 turrets, in the right hands.

Thanks for the input, guys. Im leaning towards Ricochet I think, and then as I said then I will save up for Clay, then probably head for Railgun M3 so I can do more XP.

I play mostly on Noise nowadays, with some Silence, Lost Temple, and Polygon splashed in there too.

Need some advice, guys. M3: Isida, Thunder, Hornet, Titan M2: Firebird, Ricochet, Railgun, Viking, Dictator M1/M0: everything else Paints Worth Anything: Tundra, Rustle, Rock I am trying to decide what from my list of M2's I should upgrade to M3 next. I really want something to go with Titan so that I can use it for attack as well as defense. That means Rico or Firebird. Firebird on a slow tank is really best for defending though, not attacking, while Ricochet can be used for either. What do you guys think? And I am not getting another paint until I reach Gissmo; then I will get Clay ASAP. So whichever turret I upgrade will lileky be the last thing that I upgrade before getting Clay.

Firebird M1 unlocked many ranks ago for you. Wail until M2 unlocks and then buy up to that all at once because Firebird M1 is becoming weak at your rank unless you pump Double Power all the time. Also, it is usually better to wait for a 50% sale than buy kits, which are usually only 30% to 40%.

Ricochet is one of the most deadly weapons in the game, IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT PROPERLY. It is very difficult to get all ten shots in a clip to hit one single target, especially if that target is moving. While Freeze unlocks M2 and M3 earlier than Ricochet's M2 and M3 respectively, it has lost a lot of power in the rebalance. So I would go with Ricochet, with the stipulation that you spend a lot of time practicing with it. If you cannot turn your turret at all, neither one is for you.

If you really need it now, go ahead. Otherwise I would wait until a sale (there may be one in September, definitely one for Halloween). By "really need it now" I mean that you do not already have another M3 hull or the only M3 hull you have is Dictator/Titan/Mammoth (which you only have if you bought a kit).
