that didn't just answer my question, it boosted my confidence as well! haha thank you. as for your question, I saw in another thread that you were recommended getting Vesivius. in my opinion, Vulcan requires a Heavy hull. its definitely playable with a Medium hull, but as you can tell from my previous post, I aim to have both Viking and Titan M2 (along with Loam for Firebird protection since Vulcan requires overheating a lot) for my Vulcan account - in other words, I don't recommend it. Atlas is good though.

atlas. Loam and Winter are of the same price, except Winter is useless as you've said. also, Atlas is cheaper because Titan M2 is cheaper than Viking M2, but is definitely the better hull to go with Smoky M2.

dude, those are two different accounts - check the links. I bought Fighter kit on the account that I used to have Thunder. I just bought Predator kit on the account that has been using Lizard kit (along with other turrets and hulls it got from the low rank kits). anyway, question relating to kits: can a WO3 account with no crystals at all, collect enough crystals to buy Vesivius kit at 1st Lieutenant? and since Atlas kit unlocks at the rank after that (Captain), around what rank will it be able to buy it? I ask because there is another option I can think of, but it will not include getting a Viking M2 (so I don't like it much), which is: get Vulcan M2 at 2nd Lieutenant (still using Viking/Titan M1), then get Atlas at Captain. I'm confident with my ability to get a good amount of crystals per rank because of the daily missions and because I've already topped scoreboards with Vulcan M0 at Sergeant Major.

so, are we going to have any kits available to buy after the current expires? or should I go ahead and buy Predator kit for my WO1 account? despite my success with M0 Thunder, I didn't like it.

thank you for understanding(ish :)). I just did. just really bummed that the rare chance my Titan account can get a gold was missed due to taking gold boxes being client-sided, especially when it really needs the crystals to buy Predator kit.

dude, READ THE ENTIRE POST. you just contradicted every part of my post regarding what happened. what, are you the one who saw/experienced what happened now? my position never changed since I parked my tank on the terrain that has the "gold drop site" icon on it because why the heck would I drive around when the gold box is going to drop right on top of me? I was already there way before the gold box even appeared in the sky. also, the enemy who killed the guy who took the gold box is the same enemy who killed me (railgun penetrated me killing me and the guy who took the gold box), how could I be dead already, if the guy who took the gold box died the same time as me but was still alive to take it?

and when its part of tanki that is to blame for missed gold box opportunities, the player should be compensated for given he has enough proof, which I do. uhm, nobody asked... I lagged because my father was surfing the internet using the other computer - probably uploading some file to send with an e-mail because that's part of his job. remember, I did see everything smoothly, so I do have good download speed (I can see the server telling me I have 999 ping after all), but missing gold boxes, as far as I know, is the result of having not able to upload the fact that your tank touched the gold box. so, my father was definitely uploading something cutting me off of any upload speed to tell the server I'm supposed to have grabbed the gold box already.

no, I was under the gold box drop site for a long time (please read the entire post next time before posting a response), I never moved, even though I had both allies and enemies try to push me out of the way - so my "last detected position" was there with the gold box. I didn't even know I had 999 ping until I openned paint and pasted the screenshot I took - the game was running smoothly, just that the lag caused me to be unable to get any drop - we all know lag causes that. if the server thought that I wasn't there, then how did the enemy kill both me and the guy who took the gold box with that railgun shot?

what happened: the gold box sat inside my Titan M1 for a full 1 second or more before Henkske_Vanh (the Hornet/Shaft ally on my right) was able to take it (he pushed from the side). don't know why I couldn't get it as everything seem to be fine (I saw that everyone was moving smoothly - not as if I was lagging badly) but as can be seen on the screenshot below, I did lag so I guess that prevented me from getting the gold box. still, I was definitely supposed to get it as I was alive (used double armor and repaired myself to full when the gold drop announcement appeared) and under the gold box drop way before it even reached the ground (I nearly died before it fell as there was enemies in front of me - as can be seen on the upper right of the screenshot, they died). how do I know that I was alive to get it despite the lag? it says on the upper right of the screenshot that the guy who took the gold box and I was killed with one shot by one guy - that guy who fired the railgun on both of us (visible on the screenshot). by the way, as can be seen, I was using my alt account RAG1NG_FERNO, not this one I use in the forums.

that's why I said 150m, max range is 200m. tried Vulcan M0 and only thing I didn't like is the very long spin-up and spin-down combined with its terrible damage. but M1 has like 40% more damage and the spin times are also less so I'm going to proceed and get one for my WO3.

so I got Storm for it now - don't read entire quote if you know what I'm talking about already. so my question now is, should I still buy Desert for the massive Ricochet and Hammer protection ? the mosquito is not available for him right now, that's why I said buy it during Tanki birthday if its available - meaning if he already ranked up enough to unlock it (should have no crystal problem even if he bought Tundra unless he spent his crystals on something instead of saving it like I said) and if he even wanted it then.

no, only Prodigi and Digital beats Tundra's rail protection. and he can't buy either of those right now. if he wants a paint now (since paints are discounted), Tundra is his best option.

Stinger kit is just one rank higher than you. unless you buy crystals, you'll never get enough crystals to buy it as a Warrant Officer - you'd be Third Lieutenant before you can get the crystals for it. since you seem to like Railgun though, I'd say buy Tundra while its discounted if you can - its less than 20k cry, and you still have 10 hours left, shouldn't be too hard as long as you can play since we have x1.25 battle funds right now. or save for now and buy Sandstone on tanki birthday. if you get to Captain by then, then buy Mosquito kit as well.

are you saying I shouldn't bother with Desert? because I can buy both Desert and Storm.

Not just good, its DAMN OP! I just wrecked two Hammer M1 players (one had Hornet M1, the other had Viking M1) in a DM (they teamed against me) with Osaka kit without even using that 20% Hammer protection paint it came with - I was testing out my newly bought Roger paint, which has 15+1% Hammer protection (+1 because of 10 cry MU). I even survived when they attacked me from both sides one time - the one with Viking had Double Armor, I had Double Damage. stole as much life as I can from the one with Viking/Double Armor (killing him) so I can survive their attacks and force a reload to give me some time and recharge (I didn't have full charge when they attacked because there was a Twins/Viking M0 player who didn't damage me because of Roger's Twins protection and my Double Damage). finished the battle with I think 28 kills, they both had around 10 kills each - that Twins/Viking was just food for all of us because he is all M0, his attacks felt almost like a Twins M1 though (great knockback and decent damage).
