Do you buy Crystals on this alt? Very impressive garage.

Jackhammer or Medic kit. Do not buy Refrigerator.

Very hard to say how much you should MU M2 Dictator since I have never played with it. Maybe others can weigh in? I speculate that by Colonel or Brigadier you'd need at least 25/50 into Dictator in order to hold up against the emergence of several M3 turrets. If you will switch to Viking M3 with Paladin I would not MU Dictator more that 30-35.

Buy this paint and fully MU it. You will spend 20-30k crystals depending on sales, and you will have a paint with 30% Fire protection and decent Hammer protection. You won't need another paint for short range maps until M3 ranks when Zeus or Lumberjack become available.

Both are good, but Atlas is a bit better for those maps.

Loam. Maybe Urban.

Wait - I am also under the impression that power and acceleration are related. I also disagree with Titan having slow acceleration. It accelerated quickly , just has a low top speed. Wasp is a good example. Low power, fast top speed. But that low power=low acceleration means Wasp takes FOREVER to get up to speed, which is why over short distances Hornet and even Hunter can keep up with Wasp, long enough to land that killing blow.

Rico pairs well with Loam - those rounds which bounce back in your face don't sting quite so bad.

Noticeably? I think you are in for disappointment. M0 and M1 are great, M2 is good for a while but nowhere near long enough for M3 to unlock. By Brigadier, you have to have an M3 turret in order to survive. When M3 Rico finally arrives, it is noticeably weak at Commander rank. Needs about 10 MUs right out of the gate. You can get it earlier in the Redneck kit and start MUing early (this is what I am doing). Don't get me wrong. I love Rico, but it is a real challenge at high ranks where it's all about the one shot kill, regardless of what tank you drive. To sum up - yes Rico gets better with each Mod. But other turrets quickly outclass it. If you like it, keep using it. If you want easy kills, but fire or twins.

I like your plan with Huntsman. If you don't want to go Medic, which IMO is the best early M3 kit, or Jackhammer which is also good (both unlock at Brigadier), Huntsman lets you mix and match until better M3 kits like Cardinal, Prometheus, and Redneck come along. You will need to dump a lot of MUs on your M2 dictator though.

Option 1

Fighter

No

I think Clay is overrated. So I would only go for MUs.

IDK on this, my main account, I'm at Field Marshal and squarely in the 'not sure why I still play' camp. My M2 alts are a lot more fun.

No one kit will fit what you have described. Minotaur is on the heavier side of the medium hulls and is generally considered the best M2 kit, along with Atlas, the latter of which unlocks at Captain. I wouldn't get hung up on parkour.

Be careful there. Yes, Hammer with Double Damage is a nightmare for other tanks on the battlefield, but it is very easy for you to get accustomed to that power. Then suddenly you run out of Damage supplies. At low rank it is very expensive to buy supplies.

I noticed. I had sort of gotten used to thinking of Dictator as a hull without a home since I just couldn't figure out a good use for the thing. Then I took a good look at its M3 and M4 stats. Better than Viking. Damn. But... No one is buying. No one is using. Why? 1-No kits - no early access or reliable discount on the hull. 2-Viking is close enough. And you can snag it in very early unlock kits at Brigadier and start your M4 process LONG before you are Gismo. 3-Players have already invested in other combos. Only a Gismo with crystals to burn is going to pick up and MU another hull. New Gismos are going to polish their existing combos and then pick up and polish NEW TURRETS. Rounding out a hull collection is so meh.

If you have Dictator, don't waste your crys on Viking kit - go for Atlas. Better paint and you can use that Titan on Polygon CP

You'll have to do the math once the sale comes. Spend your crys on what gets you the most for the least.

IMO all maps should be in the game. If they are bad, we just won't play on them.... often. But they should be there for nostalgic tankers. Yeah even... wait for it... Moon Silence. I joined after this map was removed and it's always been this kind of legendary thing. I get the anti-cheat problem, but I wish a better solution had been found than simply deleting the map. Sorry, I know, very old news.

Give Centaur a miss, mate. Toss a handful of MUs into your Fire and Hunter, maybe pick up a better paint along the way, and set your sights and Crystal savings on Prometheus.

Thank you!

Stinger kit contains M2 Hornet and Fracture. 2 good items. Isida M2 is iffy.

I use Isida Wasp a lot in Polygon. Isida is OK but the wasp is a problem. Easy target. I do okay but I need a better hull to do well in that map. If I scramble the eggs on all my alts, my Hunter or Viking would be the tank of choice for Polygon. Tough enough to take a few hits, and fast enough to duck under cover. Back to Isida. The way to play Isida on Polygon CP is in the tunnel near the center point BEHIND the fat Titan or Mammoth holding the point AND shielding you from enemy fire - but Ricochet is a problem. Pretty soon the enemy team starts kamikaze runs into the tunnel trying to take you out, which is a lot of fun to watch. The other Polygon Isida tactic is as a spoiler. Forget the point. Run around the outer perimeter of the map and kill or weaken enemy tanks who have spawned and are focused on moving to the center. These tanks are not usually looking behind them, and you can get lots of easy kills or at least assists. This also makes it a LOT easier for your team to take and keep the point. Have fun!
