Skylark has 5 CPs, and it has 12 players per team, so it is less dense and thus less mayhem and less crystals.

Good job, but the first part is more fit for Poly TDM. For CP, you have to actually keep capturing the point, and if you are at most of the great spots you describe, that is impossible, in addition to contradicting your advice not to waste time fighting tanks on the way. Another thing is that if you capture the point and keep it till the end, you turn the battle into TDM, which is much less rewarding. For maximum score, you need to keep letting the enemy capture the point and then capture it immediately. That way, you and the enemy generate very many crystals and you take most of them. Even if you end up beating the enemy by 1 point this way, it is much more rewarding that keeping the point and playing a TDM battle.

You use flawed logic, and it does not seem that there is in your mind any room for any doubt that you are telling the absolute truth of life. In real war, there is a reason and a reward for fighting to death or the end. In Tanki, the only reward is crystals (and experience points). Imagine a real life situation, where you are a mercenary fighting for someone who does not mean anything to you, and you are going to lose and/or lose your life. Can you tell me the point of going on? I am sure somebody like you, knows the thing about cutting your losses. You even said it yourself when describing your mission: fighting until it is prohibitive for the enemy to continue. Guess what? Your enemy has the same goal. If you continue to fight when it is prohibitive to continue, it is actually incredibly stupid, not admirable or anything. You would only be piling losses over losses. You should not give up when there is a possibility of winning. When there is none, can you tell me what is the point of fighting say in real war when you do not have enough ammo or almost all your soldiers are dead? Killing the rest of your soldiers? Is that a real goal in wars? It is very simple. Tanki rewards me for winning. If I know I am not going to win, I am not playing. If Tanki wants me to play in that condition, it needs to reward me for that. This is real logic, not baseless subjective opinion that contradicts your own experience. Nice try though.

At least, say it depends on the maps and play style and that it may take longer or require a bit of drugging, but you can theoretically reach gismo with M0 equipment.

You can use any of these with it, but I think that they go in the order you put them.

I do not recall seeing an Isida getting the top score in Poly CP. The thing is that if you heal others, you get extra score and exp and so they do unless they are flipped. By doing so, you may be able to increase the team score, but remember that you would be healing people instead of killing others, not on top of it. So it may be useful in large maps because you can't easily kill people with short range.

Thank you, but I am still bad if you irritate me. :)

Sorry, I meant at General, i.e. one rank after it becomes, available because then M3 Rail will be available and other M3 Hammers might have already started MUing. . When you start MUing, do it as early as you can, unless you do not intend to use that piece of equipment for a while, so you can benefit the longest time.

MarineMan, So they are going to release the Unity version by Christmas (or so). Is there a plan for Alpha or Beta testing before then?

:)

Judging by the way you ask this question, I say C. Normally, you should say what you like, your play style, your favorite maps, and battle modes.

Those turrets are constant-exposure turrets, not sting like the Railgun. I think he should be fine with them.

Actually, one step should be enough at maximum damage. He may want to add a few more.

I say start MUing at Major General because you can increase its power by 28.6%. That is huge.

Why do you think so about the Hornet M2? I would usually go with geting the turret unless the D/L is low because of lack of hull protection. If he goes with M2 Rail first, with a little MUing, he will be able to take out an M2 Wasp in one shot. It also improves the chance of destroying a tank before it destroys his. That is important for a slow-reload turret.

The increase in rotation acceleration is 5% for M3+ from M3. The increase in rotation acceleration from M2 to M3 was 8%. Did you suffer when you moved from M2 to M3? If so, you'll suffer 6% of your previous suffering. :) However, the rotation acceleration only makes you reach the maximum rotation speed in 7% less time. I don't see it a big thing. I honestly did not notice that in a bad way moving from M0-M1-M2.

Actually, I only play CP. :) However, usually Vulcans stand on the edge of the map and keep hitting tanks constantly. I have seen Vulcans keep firing until they explode without anybody firing at them. You need to actually capture the point to get the most score, but we often do not make it there. We either get distracted by other tanks attacking us or other tanks that we have a good opportunity to destroy on the way to the point, and we get destroyed ourselves before making it there or as soon as we touch the ground there. :) Not everyone gets to capture the point often. Rails and shafts are not in better shape than the Twins. Actually, you are in better shape. Anyway, my point is that given everything, it makes sense for the Vulcan to be stronger than the Twins within 50 meters. You can't have the same turret perfect for close range and long range, etc. That would be unfair to other turrets. I think Firebird is perfect for CP, especially Polygon, which I play most. Despite that, I use Rico for Poly and Hammer for Island.

On second thought, how is this different from using the new speed boost? Are you saying you never pick up speed boost? Actually, the speed boost at 30% is greater than 84 to 100.8 or whatever which is about 20%. You are too high of a rank to ask for advice. :P

The word "best" is elastic, so you can't use it just like that. Anything is best in certain conditions.

I completely agree here. Reload and impact force difference is hardly noticeable. I suggest to focus on XP format battles while you MU rotation speed all the way unless he wants to develop adaptive skills.

What you are saying is not true. If the distance is less than 50 meters, Vulcan is stronger by ~17%, but it has the problem of overheating. If the distance is 50-80 meters, its damage diminishes by 50% but yours diminished by 15%, so you become 50% stronger than it.. So, when you fight against a Vulcan, be over 50 meters away.

There is some merit in what you say. :P To make it more beneficial to lower ranks, can you tell them how you know that you are going to recover your crystals? :)

What is the point of this?

You should think about it this way. If you buy it today and used it these 5 weeks, will you earn more crystals than what you would have earned without it by half its price? If so, then buy it today. If not, don't buy it today. Another question is: Are you irritated so much that you are playing without it now and you can't take it for a few more weeks? You are the only one who can answer these two questions. Good luck!

I hope you have tried M0 of both and you are asking about M1. In that case, in addition to answering falcosenna1's question, you should also say which you liked to play with most, and what is your play style, i.e. attack, defense, midfield, grabbing flats, etc.
