I appreciate what you are doing here, but, man, you need to get on the field a little. I think you ranked up once or twice since I joined Tanki, and I now hold a higher rank than you do. Do something about it! :)

Actually over a quarter mil. Though, the Firebird M3 is the cheapest turret. :)

Since the Twins is a noob turret, Smoky is better. Now regarding Titan, Viking, or Wasp, Hornet, Hunter, or Mammoth for that matter, depends on your play style and maps. It is usually strange for someone to ask advice between a very heavy hull and a medium hull. It is kind of like: Should I eat popcorn or hamburger?

I agree. I finally figured out when to leave a battle. I just need more discipline. I often have it.

That's because you can't. :P Seriously, Isida could be a great choice for certain people and maps. It has never appealed to me. I got the M0 of it just in case, and I probably used it only once. Though sometimes, you wish there was an Isida when the enemy team has a couple of them and they keep reversing the damage you deal, and you can't get rid of them because they have more than one.

That is mostly true, but what matters most is the type of battle and style you play.

That is if you make it to the point in one piece. :P

I completely agree. I think this here was a small miracle. I got my 2000+ crystals. I have no idea how much because I did not catch the reward table. Watch at 02:20 and 03:08. [media=640x360] [/media]

The noobs who fight in the 15 seconds after the gold box notification.

You are not serious. How long did it take you to get your rank? WO1 needs buying crystals? This is news to me. I think I can easily make it to gismo without buying any crystals. I just need to avoid being a punching bag.

Its range is medium short. It does not work for me in Poly. It works great in Island. In Poly, I have to use Rico, where no Thunder can be too far from me. :) The only ones that can be safe from me are the Railguns on the hill just outside of the field.

That is a skill/luck/hull difference. If you are face to face, it should win if you factor in about 40% of vampiring/self-healing. If you both have Hunters at about 200 health points, your 3- clip within a little over 4 seconds has 233 damage points. Its turret can deal 162 damage points to you in 4 seconds (just before you can shoot your 3rd shot), and it can recover 63 health points, so it effectively has 200+63 health points = 263. Your entire three shots can't kill it, and you will be at its mercy for the next little over 5 seconds. You are dead. :) Then, it will have about 50 health points left.

I am not sure that I understand what you said here, so here goes. :) In the case where an entire team leaves, it is better to distribute the rewards immediately and restart the game. If they want to wait for others to join, they still can with the new battle with zero battle fun. In the other case where a team is down by more than one player, especially >25% of the team size. I think it is okay to issue an alarm within two minutes of that situation given that this situation did not happen at the very start of the battle. I mean, for the first 5 minutes, let it be (except if an entire team leaves), and then activate the system. If 5 minutes or more into the battle a team is way down and can't keep up with the other team for 2 minutes, issue a 3 minute alarm. If things do not improve by then, end. I hope this explains my POV on this thing, which revolves around the same thing. I want to reiterate that the point should not be preventing a team from winning by a big gap. The point should be making sure that both teams are having fun playing the game. When there is a huge score gap, neither team is having fun. The winners will be playing parkour or you would find five tanks firing at one poor tank at the same time. This is not the kind of fun I want to have. When I join a 1-1 battle and it becomes 2 - 1, I do not fire unless I am fired on because that is not fair. I would actually be waiting until someone joins the 1-person team.

You think you can't join another battle or even stick around in the same battle when it restarts and make more crystals if someone joins?

Actually, bonus supplies, including crystals and gold boxes, disturb the flow of a battle. Bonus supplies are allowed to promote buying drugs, so it is a financial thing. Gold boxes are allowed so the losing team does not quit early and disturb the flow of the battle even more. The poor losers will keep saying let me stay, I may catch a gold box. :) This is why I disagree with you, and I think they all should be removed, other ways of monetizing be used and reward distribution should be done fairly so nobody feels ripped off and have to leave.

[spelling mistakes highlighted in red.] They would tone it down once every other turret is Hammer. If you want it to be toned down, buy and use Hammer and have all your friends do the same. :P

I don't think there should be an alarm in this case anyway. Just end the stupid battle immediately like you would at server update. Just say Red Team left and pop the results table.

I think Spark is better for Poly CP, cheaper too.

This is not simple. If you think it is, you are welcome to spell out the algorithm that can solve it.

Maybe to save you time. You can grab and flag and run. You do not have to go get it. :)

Hammer, Rico, or Freeze are better I believe. I think that Twins and Vulcans are for noobs regardless of what rank they have. :P

M2 Fire is very powerful especially for Island CP, but I do not have it yet. I intend to buy it at the next serious sale. If I were you, I would save and not buy anything now until you get an M3 Rico kit two ranks later. If you really want something, then get it.

I say go with M1 Hornet, M2 Hunter, and M3 Dictator. Normally, you should provide some info on your play style or favorite maps.
