Well if you like playing defense (gaurding flag and healing at base) then get a medium or heavy hull. If you perfer ofense or healing your teamates on the way to cap then you want wasp or hornet. I would also recomend a paint against shaf, rico, or smokey.

Well of you ever have double damge isida M3 will take about 1-2 seconds to kill them depending on there paint. Also, if you have double power you heal twice as fast so it becomes around three times harder to kill you. I use isida M1 with a few MU's and the only thing that can kill me close range (no double power) is shaft,twins, firebird, and rico. Also, if you have tough hull and they dont then you will kill them faster with taking less damage (in proportion). Plus if you attack first then you will normally win simply because of the damge and healing rates.

Sometimes M2 weapons arnt as expensive because its not a big upgrade.

Well that could be good if you like isida, but it will be hard to get enough cry by the time you rank (unless you buy). Personally I am saving for ant kit but I will get a different M2 weapon that I dont have M1 of so it is cheaper. Also, the ant kit gives you a good paint so you dont have to get a better one latter on. Plus, the M2 wasp is better than M2 hornet, so I would also save for M3 hornet and skip the M2.

Yes getting the ant kit is good, wasp M2 has decent health and it comes with isida M3 (the best isida upgrade). Also there is the iribis paint witch is a decent paint for mid to high ranking battles simply because it has good protection. If you buy this kit then you still have time to keep saving for hornet M3 if thats what you are looking for. Plus with the paint you dont have to worry about buying a better paint later on, then have to deside weither to get the paint, hull, or turret first seconed or third.

What I dont like is when my teamates try to get me to heal them instead of getting back the flag or actually helping the team. I mean do people even get that isisa cannot heal/attack constantly.

Turret, if you can destroy them before they hurt you than you do not need a very good hull. In the end it depends on the weapon you are using and the hull you are using. If the weapon upgrade adds a lot more damage to your weapon then upgrade your turret, but if the hull adds a lot more health then do that. If you are using a short ranged weapon try hull first so you do not die. If you are going for a long range weapon well then upgrade your gun first. Also try getting a new paint that could also help.

Thunder all the way, it works for every battle does decent damage and with splash damage it works better with larger battles.

What is a good kit for around my rank, I use isida often but it is not as good for larger maps? I do not want to buy thing individually because it is too expensive.

Well personally I think it depends on the battle, if it is a tiny map then isida but if it somewhat larger then rico.

What paint is the best for my rank and which gun should I use when I am tired of m1 isida?

no

hi

Medium maps like osa where everything is close so I don't always die from rail. I like using isida Rico and rail.
