I'm not sure about a book, but I think a compilation of funny forum quotes would be very nice to have. I question how you were able to miss my copious amounts of sarcasm. The massive difference in punctuation and tone should be a strong hint that I wasn't being serious. There is the slight possibility that your post here is sarcastic too, but it's quite unlikely, so my point still stands. I had fun with Hunter-Shaft yesterday. M1 Shaft is still surprisingly powerful at my rank, so with Lead, it's a good mobile sniper on Lost Temple.

And people say that Vulcan sucks.

Don't use all caps, please. Also, I doubt that they copied any of your designs- you're not the only person in the world to think of making a hull very tall.

The speed isn't that impressive, but if you don't need to chase down people, it's good enough. I'd recommend it more for small or medium maps if you're using a short/medium ranged weapon- if you're using Railgun or Shaft, big maps are fine. I wouldn't recommend using Dictator with close range weapons in general, but it can be devastatingly effective on small/medium maps like Noise or Island. It'll also do well if you can sneak into bases undetected, like via the tunnels in Silence. I recommend using it with a medium ranged weapon like Thunder most of the time.

Quick notice to everyone: I'm sure that MetalMann's entry is genuine. He's supplied convincing proof, so we can stop accusing him of plagarism. :)

M2 Thunder is great! I like the increased power and impact force. The splash damage is also really useful against clustered enemies.

I'm seeing a lot of M2 Hunters now. That's a good thing, since M2 Hunter used to be very rare. Hunter-Hammer is also getting pretty popular (maybe because of the Pitbull kit). It's extremely powerful at close and even medium ranges, so I take them out from a distance if I'm using Vulcan/Ricochet/Thunder. Oh, and I'm using Isida-Hunter a lot now. It's the perfect combat medic, and your teammates will really appreciate you if you do a good job healing.

Vulcan's a great weapon for medium range combat, but I see a lot of people trying to use it as an assault weapon. That's not its intended purpose- if you want to attack enemies at close to medium range, stick to Smoky, Hammer, or Ricochet.

I like 50% sales just as much as you do, but even if I wasn't rich I would probably buy some items on 25% sales. Anyway, I got all my sale items (except Guerilla paint). I'll try them out in combat for a bit, and I'll let you know how I like them. Oh, and "Thunter" is confirmed. ;)

I get it. Alternatively, you don't need to let all that precious pizza go to waste. Just deliver pizzas to every tank on the battlefield. You'll make friends with everybody, and you can chat in peace over coffee.

I'm pretty sure Bugatti's high account has an ungodly amount of crystals. I'm thinking of buying Guerilla paint- it's only 17,250 crystals during the sale. I think we'll be seeing a lot more Vulcans after the sale, so this could come in handy. Plus, it looks good and is decent for camouflage. Any thoughts? For now, I'll wait until the last day to see how many Vulcans are around.

Never hurts to have a few more guides around.

M2 Hunter is going to be mine in about 3 hours. I can't wait. :lol: Let's hope that Shado can get a M2 Hunter of his own soon.

Pretty sure that isn't yours. Disqualified.

M1 Smoky is very good at your rank- it'll definitely last until you unlock more effective turrets, like M1 Thunder. Some people take their M1 Smokies even further than that. I highly doubt that it'll be downgraded in the future, so if you feel like it's a good choice, go for it. I used mine heavily until I got M1 Thunder, and still used it sporadically until I got M2 Ricochet. If you use it strategically, it will bring you very far. I wrote a guide to Smoky a while back- it might help you out.

Use the Z and X buttons to rotate it while firing, like you would do with any other turret. I get the feeling that you're not used to doing that yet.

He doesn't.

It'll be quite a challenge. Might have to hand out quite a few consolation prizes.

Congrats on ranking, Boss!

Keep in mind that although turrets get a lot more powerful as you go up the rank ladder, the hulls do too. Don't worry, you're not going to get destroyed in one hit by Thunders as long as you use a M2 hull. The main reason why Shaft is a lot harder to play with is the players you're going to be fighting against- most, if not all players at the higher ranks know exactly what to do when faced with a Shaft, so you really need to be good at sniping to survive well.

Long story short, Athena doesn't like anything about Shaft and thinks it makes people "noobs". She stokes the fire on this thread once in a while.

I'm pretty sure that isn't your drawing (it's a Tiger tank anyway). You've been disqualified.
