Most important in TO is a nice combo you are good at and even more importantly: enjoy! :)

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Micro-upgrades_of_%22Raccoon%22 The only one that comes close. Not that impressive though in especially Railgun and Isida.

That 's what I though as well...because every "upgrade" of Eternity is micro-upgradable: that 's a bummer. :mellow: Than you might better stay with Spark and Tundra that you already own. Don 't get other paints till you get really good ones like Savanna. If you want to do "something": imo better put those crystals in micro-upgrading your fav. turret (hull).

?? In the Wiki it states: Stage 3: From Third Lieutenant to ColonelProtection from Smoky: (25% → 38%) Protection from Firebird: (40% → 50%) Protection from Hammer: (10% → 25%) http://en.tankiwiki.com/Micro-upgrades_of_%22Eternity%22 You are a Captain, so these should be your protections: or did they change them?

Titan/Smoky with a fairly skilled player is a winner in DM in small and medium maps. In larger maps you have a better chance with more mobility: so a medium like Viking would be a better pick in that case. Skilled players can choose Wasp or Hornet, but they better avoid small maps. Between Wasp and Hornet I rather choose Hornet, mainly because of it 's stability. (and I prefer it 's centralized turret). With both light hulls it 's ofc. all about avoiding being shot as much as possible. Wasp has also a lot going for it, but when under fire it becomes pretty much helpless, while Hornet when making the right corrections has a much better chance to quickly return fire. Ofcourse both hulls are in big trouble when facing an ungoing barrage of Ricochet, or even worse Vulcan. Overall Smoky benefits from a stable platform (like Titan and Viking) to keep shooting in a steady rhytm. A Smoky player has to land those hits otherwise you better keep it gathering dust in the garage.

Corrosion is good, Tundra even better. Corrosion, because of the lower-percentage protections might be better on medium- to heavy hulls. Tundra fits every hull. Tundra would be my top pick when you play in medium- to large Maps. The 15% against Smoky does at least something. (like Premium). Rails are everywhere... Storm is ok for smaller Maps and ofcourse against Firebird. The protections against Hammer and Freeze are pretty much useless though. A very specialized paint. (looking at your profile I would just micro-upgrade that Eternity you own. Very nice protections and pretty rare!)

Paints are often too overrated, but there 's a huge difference if you use a good paint or not. It depends on your own combo and gameplay from which protections you benefit the most in the kind of Maps you like to play. So instead of buying multiple paints I would rather stick with a few or even one battlepaint and completely micro-upgrade those5that one. A paint like Corrosion that you have is a good paint, which at your level (especially if mued ofcourse), gives a very good protection. Or do you rather battle with green? Top paints can provide 50% protection when mued from three turrets. You can even have protections against four turrets, though that comes with lowered protections. Paints translate into longer survival time and less respawning, thus more time to get those points or kills.

Should I get <_< or :) from being accused from "hax!"? If someone calls using DD like :wub: and not using one single repairkit "hax": I 'm guilty :(

High chance that both will be nerfed somewhere in the nearby future. These turrets were made OP to boost sales. And about the micro-upgrades? I very much preferred the old system too, this is again done imo to boost sales.

Maybe it 's all about Paints? (or an AFD joke...)

You might derive some comfort from your well-deserved Medal of Merit instead. It 'll always be with you as long as the world and Tanki keep spinning. That 's not too bad either... ;)

Faster minedropping is really starting to pay off ^_^ http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=184384&page=76&do=findComment&comment=5404311 Btw: looking for a real strong combo? Hunter/Isida on drugs...D/L16!

Yippieee!!!

Wow, that 's going to be a spectacle you 'll never forget, can 't wait! When does it arrive? :D

That 's a bit premature: give the new guy a break, ok?

We Tankers can only see a very small part of what a community manager does, but what we could see and notice was good. Goodbye Semyon, I enjoyed your open and friendly personality, and ofcourse thanks for what you 've done for us and the game. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours!

For the Tankers who have decided or maybe will decide to get themselves a new keyboard if they experience hindering ghosting issues: hopefully it 's a programmable keyboard that can make profiles... Recently, I 've made a post about laying mines and how to use them very fast and at the right time in 1 vs 1 situations. Which is crucial if you want to be successful with this very effective trick. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=184384&page=76&do=findComment&comment=5404311

OMG!....

You won the lottery? ;)

Get Hornet M2 if possible, you already have a large experience with the Hornet. Great with Smoky. Better as Wasp M1...Wasp M2/Smoky M2 is better than Hornet M2: but you could skip that Wasp M2. Hornet M3 beats it again and is "just" two ranks away.
