As the other guy says try to 20K you have 5-6 days. 6k gold boxes fall on the 4?-5th? Yes you have to have a 20% paint with an M2 Hornet for XP, because this gives you 165 armor , which is more than max dam. for rail M3 164. All tanks in XP have to have enough protection not to be one-shotted by rail . So you might be looking at another 21 K needed in 5 days to buy fracture the cheapest 20% rail paint, so that is 40k or so, You might just need to decide if which combo you want the most vic/thunder or the xp combo and fracture. If you can't make 20-40K don't buy fracture or the hornet and buy later at full price 40 If you go vic/thun you might buy cedar on Paint day. all a matter of which you want the most or making 40K

Has anyone noticed that they might have tweaked Vulcan back up a little? None of the charts/logs/vids mention it, but I have run into a couple fairly fierce Vulcans lately. Really could tell because they were drugging a lot, still. Guess I may have to knock the dust off mine and see.

Thunder/Viking - out of the list IMO, you could do Hornet/Rail if you don't mind Fail-gun

Fighter Kit?? And how can you buy M2 Rico at your rank?

Someone else will have to comment on that. IMO, Viking is not fast enough to use with Freeze, but I am not a regular freeze user. I've got one , tried it, but I just don't like close range weapons or close range fast combat myself. My connection speed is not up to it either, most of the time.

Thunder M2 would be the meanest thing to buy. Rail M2 + Hornet M2 would let you play XP battles, given a paint for it.

Just use Viking with your Smoky , no need to buy Hornet for a Smoky , you would just be losing armor protection for a speed Smoky does not need. MU dragon 2 levels, as I said earlier , I think

M1 Hunter would give you a considerble armor increase over your Hornet for some of your weapons including M2 Isida, But you might want to just hold onto those extra crystals until you get some more rank and/or a good kit M2 deal comes along.

At your rank, don't be fighting Majors with M2 shafts. Find lower rank battles to avoid this "frustration". Also if you see good Isida support , odds are, you are dealing with a pre-configured team, avoid those battles too, to lower your "frustration".

Viking/Rico Rico , works better with a heavier hull as you often get in shoot-outs with it so you need the better armor. Plus Rico can bounce back and the damage can be fairly serious with a light hull. Hunter/Vik/Dic/Tit, are the only hulls I would put a Rico on. No lights hulls, and Mam is too slow for Rico.

Buy Freeze, unless all you have is med+heavy hulls, if you do, buy Freeze and Hornet. M2 Freeze comes along pretty quick. Forget Vulcan, it has been nerfed,,, more than Freeze :lol:

Go Winter. Your thunder problem is typical of rico users, and Winter also shuts down shafts which is another big enemy of Rico. Sandstone is also an idea, it is cheaper than winter, its works against rails and shafts , and Thunder

Sure, buy dragon and do the first 2 (+2) MU's, to (+26%) that will work for a while.

For cheap you could get corrosion which is a good all around long range paint. and maybe Winter later, If you are going to buy Thunder , you might as well buy Cedar now, and stick with that until possibly buying Winter, forget about cherry and emerald, unless you are seeing tons of twins, which I doubt and cedar does about as well as either of them in regards to thunder and is far cheaper p.s. -forget about Vulcan , it is not the long range weapon it was. Might work at M3 as a close-in buzzsaw but I'd forget about range combat. Shaft is boring , might as well buy Thunder..

Yes, I was having lag issues that entire game , as to being able or not to be able to pick up boxes. But sitting on a gold box for 1-2 minutes was REALLY irritating moreso since I picked up a box shortly after afterward.

They have kits that jump 4(possibly5) ranks later on. Which is a gap of alot more playing time than what you are "complaining" about now.

On a low account (Cpl?) account I have, I saw a gold box drop that no one else saw, so I drove to it and could not collect it. :( . I stayed parked on it with a Dictator so it could not be seen, until someone from my team came along and I let them have it. You talkin :angry: , I surely was, 1k crystals is ALOT at those ranks.

Rico, Viking , Dragon , or Rico , Titan, Dragon+ Dirty

Anybody know which weapons(if any) can self-recover a Titan on its side, back to upright? M levels and MU's as used please.

On my new account I manage to evade and break away from an Isida, and wouldn't you know it , he fired again and the dang beam was hitting the ground and I blew up :( :angry: :blink: .* I guess that failgun ability to totally noob miss, yet hit , is rubbing off on Isida. That might worry me. *And no it was not lag, I was running deep green/green on fps/ping.

I love Thunder and despise rail , however if you prefer Hornet as a hull, go rail

error

I'd buy Thunder M2 and Hornet M2 on BD, in your position. However I think Thunder really needs a heavier hull than Hornet for several reasons, IMO. Or you could buy M2 Rail and M2 Hornet , which would give you a high end XP set-up(though you are short about 10K for Fracture) that would work until September, and then possibly an M2-M3 SMoky buy.

My wording was not accurate in describing what might be occasionally occuring. I may find some empty maps and try to figure this out or at least duplicate effects. Might be impossible since it may rely on alot players and server lag, but I will try.

You can use anything you can buy, including stuff you are not at rank to use.
