I think I'll MU the first few steps of my Thunder only, and from there save for Medic. Sound good?

One hour till that time.

Ignore that spoiler. Rico M3 costs 252 100 crystals. You need to take the ten percent off that price, which is: 226 890 crystals. After that, you have to take away the 45%. So: 226 890-45%= 124 790 crystals. The final price is 124 790 crystals.

Alright. I'd do that, but I'm just not sure how I can MU and also then have crystals later on. Does anyone know when the next sale will be? If it is months and months away, then I'll be fine, and I'm pretty sure it is (Easter??). Then, my final question; Do I pay for speed-ups as well as the actual MU? If I pay for speedups then I'll get to about the 15th step. There is that 33% sale, so I can probably MU a few more than that. I could also pay for the first few speedups, then slowly MU.

Thanks everyone. I've got two people telling me to buy nothing and one to possibly buy Loam. I'll probably just skip the paints, then. MUs. I probably don't need them at my rank, do I? I'll MU the first few steps during the sale. Are the rest needed yet? I could spend my crystals on doing that (100k worth) but what if I buy a different M3 later (I will be doing so). 100k to MU only to about step 15 wouldn't be very practical if I could just save for another M3. What does everyone think (I was thinking about saving for Medic kit instead)?

Thanks again for your help. Somebody else suggested Tundra, so I'll see if I need it. Also, I don't find Hammers too irritating, unless they drug and I use Hornet. More responses, please.

Already asked this once, but I only got one reply. Thanks to that person; I may just buy nothing paint-wise. However, I still want to see what other people think. My only semi-reasonable paint at the moment is Jaguar, and other pathetically cheap paints. During the turret sale, I'll buy the Bulldozer kit, giving me Emerald paint (mainly Thunder and Twins protection). That's all I'll have. I will have about 115k remaining after buying Bulldozer. My question is: Should I buy another paint during the sale? Two options are Hohloma and Loam. Loam costs 56k after the discount and Hohloma is 59k. Is this worth it? I could just buy something at a later rank, or forego paints, as I may not need them. Please tell me what you think.

Thanks, maybe I'll just skip paints. Even so: Can I have some other opinions, too? Also, if not these paints, are there any others I should consider?

I wouldn't buy M2 Isida at your rank. Unless you are solely healing, you will find that it is really underpowered against other tanks (especially heavy hulls) Although you don't have a heavy/medium hull, I'd go for Huntsman. Much better, and has an M3.

I'm buying the Bulldozer kit during the turrets sale. The sale will lower its price to 130k (from 203k). I've got 240k right now, so I'll have 110k plus battle funds (5k?) after I buy it. Now, I'm considering paints. Loam or Hohloma? 36% Firebird protection is great. As I'd be using my FB alongside the new Thunder, it'd still be relevant (Emerald mostly with Thunder, various paints for FB). The other 10% protections are not so relevant. Hohloma, on the other hand, has two 20% protections and one 22% protection (Freeze, Rico, then Smoky). Would an all-round paint be better than Loam? As I'd use my Thunder a lot, I would play medium maps more than smaller ones, and as such would meet more tanks with Smoky and Rico. The Freeze would just be a bonus on top of that, as there aren't many Freezes around. Both paints will cost about 56k-59k. Could I hear opinions, please? PS If the sales don't apply to kits, I probably won't be buying any paints.

Will you rank? M3s are better than M2s. However, keep in mind that Atlas is cheaper, and you have M2 Hornet. If you want to get the early M3 (Hornet), and are planning for it anyway, then get Huntsman. If you'd like a heavy hull and don't think you will get one anytime soon then Atlas still works. Up to you, and also look at the paints.

True, I thought that after I posted.

It has either been fully micro-upgraded, or already bought.

New kits; Bulldozer is there. I have 235k after ranking, etc. and will be buying it! If the kits get discounts on items, then I guess I'll buy it with the Thunder discount, as Thunder costs the most and has the highest discount out of the items. If the discounts apply, then I'll have some crystals to spare. I think I'll probably forgo buying another paint; Emerald is probably enough for my rank, isn't it? My only concern is enemy Firebirds. My Jaguar paint gives me 10 or 11% protection from it, but maybe I should consider Loam? I'll figure out costs and everything.

It has been said that the sale won't be a large one this year; in other words, not 50%. I guess we can still hope, though... They won't because they've said it is going to be the biggest in terms of celebration "events" ever, so why would they give us the discount, too? Anyway, I don't mind.

I'm curious, is this linked in any way to your nickname? Nice story.

Happy ending...? It was written really well, and I was expecting something bad to happen the whole time. Then, voila? Anyway, I really enjoy reading what you write; it's always entertaining, and never boring. Thanks for a great series.

Twins M1 is still common in battles I play in. There are more of the M2s in slightly higher rank battles than my rank (past unlock rank). Firebird M2 starts appearing often along with Twins M2. An Isida is often in one of the teams, but rarely more than two in one game. Then, of course, there is the occasional Freeze attacking the point, and a few more ranged turrets camping/firing at the point.

Thanks. Thanks. By quick reload I meant slightly under 3 seconds. I guess it depends on what is happening; if a few Firebirds are burning you then I guess it isn't enough. I'll probably consider Medic. If the kit appears during the sales, I'll get it. If not, I guess I should just wait until I rank? Ant it is in right now, and I'm pretty sure no one here would recommend it. Maybe I'll have a look at Brigadier kits, etc. Thanks for the help :).

In short, my questions: What do people think of the Bulldozer kit at my rank? Should I buy it later if it doesn't appear during the sales? 12k xp before the sales is achievable, isn't it? I don't plan on playing excessively. If I don't buy it at all, should I get something during the sales? I was thinking of Thunder M2 before I discovered this kit (I want range). My thoughts: What do people think of the Bulldozer kit? Even though Thunder isn't considered a good M3 (for various reasons), I'm sure that at my rank it'd excel, as it can kill an M2 Hornet in 2 shots with a quick reload. If I use it right... On top of that, I get Emerald and Mammoth M2. Emerald is considered a great paint (tell me if I'm wrong) and it'll sort out the Thunder protection issue. Mammoth isn't exactly the best hull available, but it does have a heap of hp, and still works well at my rank. I need another 12k xp in order to rank, and next rank is the unlock rank. I think that I will complete this before sales. If the kit appears during the sales, I'll buy it. If not, should I wait until it appears? My original plan was to buy M2 Thunder during sales, which isn't as appealing anymore. I'll have over 228k after I rank, plus the unaccounted battle-fund crystals that I'll gain after now. The kit could cost 203k, or or under 250k depending on the discount. Thanks!
