My own advice to others in no particular order:
Don't buy anything but kits & supplies.
Use supplies tactically as mentioned by the original article.
Sit comfortably especially while playing in important battles such as duels, clan wars etc.
Ask for 1v1's/duels to judge your skills against others and don't stop if you lose every time, just watch your opponents tactics and try them yourself.
If your team is losing and a Gold drops, ignore it and focus on getting a higher score for your team, in other words use Gold drops strategically, they have turned many battles in my favor.
If you have a turret with decent recoil such as Thunder practice one man parkouring (OMP) to good camping spots such as in Highland, then use those skills in battle.
Avoid head-on brawls with hulls that have more armor than you, instead; destroy them using circling or peek & pop techniques.
That's all the advice for now, lets go on to a story.
Until today my go-to combo was M1 Wasp & M1 Railgun, today however today I purchased a kit consisting of M2 Dictator, M2 Thunder & some paint I can't care to mention.
I used my still M1 Wasp along with the aforementioned M2 Thunder in Rio (which I hadn't played in for a long time due to it's lack of decent camping spots) today and was extremely surprised and gratified to achieve 64 kills in 15 minutes using just a few double damage boxes. Going back to my previous Rail/Wasp combo, my best number of kills was a 1 hour Stadium DM battle in which I achieved 220 kills, (pretty much the same if you do the math) I had to put a ton of effort in to it however; whereas with my M1/M2 combo I was practically sleeping.
This goes to show that even if you have M1 equipment in the mid ranks; with skill you can achieve equal results as M2 users.
On to the questions.
How would you describe mid ranked game play? Chaos, mults, trolls, bullies, noobs who can't turn turrets and heaps of fun! Oh, and 'gold plz admin' of course!
How did you approach the game play of the midranks snd try to be a successful player? I learnt to aim accurately and refined my battle tactics.
Sum up your advice to mid ranked players in one sentence.
Save for a kit, whatever happens.
What have you learnt from this article? Don't get me wrong but pretty much nothing I'm glad to say, it is a fantastically written piece but I can't see anything mentioned here that I haven't learnt previously.
