I would actually get Loam.

Unless you want to play Monte Carlo with something besides Railgun, you should get Rico. I am a Rico guy although now I use Isida more because I had decent upgrades on M3 but my upgrades on Rico can only bring it to stock M3.

Do you have any preference? What kind of battles do you play?

Ideally, you need an M3 hull, but if you upgrade your dictator a bit, it should be fine.

That is expensive and does not provide good Thunder protection. At his rank, if interested in Thunder protection, I would get Metallic for 1000 and upgrade it for 3000 a total of 4000 (now 2000) for 18% protection against Thunder, which is higher than that of corrosion. My suggestion is to pick one of the turrets Rico, Thunder, or Hammer, and get Dragon, Metallic, or Magma, respectively. You can upgrade them and get a better value than the silly more expensive paints.

That is why you should have bought Inferno or Mars. Now that you did not, save for Gizmo paints.

That depends on what turrets kill you most. Only you can answer that.

They did it. They Wiki has been updated. I get 30% off on Rico M3 for fully upgrading the damage of Rico M2.

For?

Actually, Dragon is better at the budget he has.

I suggest getting the Isida. Congratulations to everyone on reaching 1000 pages!

I suggest that you do something with them now, either something useful like a paint or whatever, or upgrade, but don't upgrade randomly. Buy the first few steps of what matters. The speed of a tank does not really matter at your level, besides the increments are too small to make a difference, so avoid that. Focus on damage and protection.

Fire is great for small maps, especially Island and Arena, Polygon CP. For the others Thunder is good. Remember that different maps, play styles, etc. call for different turrets and hulls. There is no combo that is the best for everything, or everyone would get it, and the devs would nerf it so players would get other combos. I don't suggest Smoky. It has its own fans. I'll let them recommend it if they want.

In short range, people are right, but firebird is not flexible. These are the wrong turrets to compare. One is short range, and the other is long range. It depends on how and where you want to use them.

It seems that you need both. Buy the more expensive now, or which you think you will use most.

Is it now fully upgraded?

It should not be that bad. Every step that cost less than 1000 crystals I do without a sale. It is not worth it to wait a month or whatever to save a couple of thousand crystals. The expensive ones though need a sale on the upgrade cost. When there is a speedup sale, I only buy speedup that I need to take advantage of the sale. So normally I speed something up when there is an hour remaining or something like that. If you buy speedup for the first steps, they will cost more than the full price.

I am sorry, but this is a silly request. Fully upgrading an M3 turret takes 40 to 80 days continuous without speedups. Even if you got a whole week, what would you do?

My M2 Rico is 1 step away from being fully upgraded damage-wise, and the stupid thing rules. So, having something unlock a year later just means that you need to upgrade what you have, but don't do it stupidly.

Usually, getting an M3 anything is better than getting an M2 anything. When you get M3, be ready to start upgrading because there is no stock M4.

It is rarely worthwhile to max out damage. You may need to do it when you have an M2 turret where the M3 unlocks at Gizmo or a little before, but definitely not at a low rank. Upgrade halfway (by amount, i.e. about third of the steps).

Read the rest of the post. :P

10k is not something you can talk about saving for 3 months. If it was 100k or more, sure, but saving 10k for 3 months is like saving $5 for when you go to college.

Did you notice that it is not active until you reach the required rank? :P

Don't get Viking M2. You may get a Viking M3 kit if you like Viking too much, but you are about at the rank of Viking M3.
