I play with Firebird M2. Hunter, Viking or Dictator, considering the new rebalance?

Evening everyone. I'm a major fan of Wasp / Firebird. Been doing it since I started. Hardly really like anything else... I've had some fair experience w/ Twins, Isidia and Smoky (Wayyy back before the early rebalances and before all the new turrets were added.) Currently sitting w/ 75k Crystals. Waiting on the Halloween sale / crystals and then deciding what I want to get. As of now, I have Firebird M1 50/50 (M2) Wasp M1 (25/50 I believe?) Don't ask why I MU'd. I believe I did it when MU's came out and back then they were a bit different. A year later I log back in and it's all changed up... so I just finish up the M1 MU's to 50/50 and left the Wasp ones as they are now. Not sure what I should do now. I plan to stick with Firebird. Wasp isn't suitable for a lot of map modes and battle types, though - especially as I level up. I want a medium hull. Hunter, Dictator or Viking? Dictator is probably the least preferrable because of it's speed, but the new update is rebalancing some stuff? Don't know when that's happening. If anyone could update me about that as I'm fairly new to the forums / community here. So yeah I just need some opinions and advice. Thanks! (Also need a decent protection - Looking into kits but not sure which one. I've never bought crystals, I earn them all, so kits could take a while.)

Hey guys. Currently I have M1 Firebird (49/50 Microupgraded... long story. Soon to be M2) and Wasp M1 (25/50 I think?). This is the setup I've been using forever, as it suits my playing style perfectly. Occasionally I'm in need of armour>speed, so I put on M1 Mammoth, but I don't like it very much. My next plan is a hull that applies both speed and armour. My choices are Hunter, Viking or Dictator. All of which, have not been upgraded at all. A complete list of my garage: M2 Firebird M1 Wasp (25/50) M1 Smoky M1 Isidia M1 Mammoth M1 Hornet Everything else M0. My playing style is generally medium-large sized maps, I also love doing CP maps like Polygon because of the high battle funds. I'm also enjoy attacking and offensive rather than defense. I might sound like a noob... but do I need to buy M1 of something to get M2? For example I have M0 Hunter and I want M2, I'd have to go through buying M1 right? The only way to surpass it is to get kits, I assume. I need advice on what hull I should go for. I plan on using my firebird a lot, I've gained a lot of skill with it, so I need a hull to accompany it. Thank you!
