1) Yup 2) Yup - it's ridiculous actually. 3) Yup - that's why I'm buying M3 next sale ;) 4) Been crisped a lot trying to do missions on Normal battles so... yup 5) Yup

This. I was lucky a short time ago and got a couple Premium-3hr rewards - so cashed them in just before server re-set for the freebies. But other than that - pretty much junk rewards. If you catch your own Gold in an empty battle you get the 1000. Normal & Pro-battle I think If you catch your own gold with at least one opponent you can complete a Gold Mission (normal battle of course).

I wish!!!! Le-sigh... This account? Or a higher one? Cuz when I try to do my missions it's hard to avoid Gismos and Legends that use a lot of RKs - basically every time you damage them. it's very difficult to survive long enough to get anything done in normal battles without using RKs. So they get depleted fast as we don't get as many "free" RK as we do other supplies.

What combo are you using that is having trouble versus Isida?

And can only attack one tank at a time with no after-burn and no slowing down opponent. It needs to have better DPS than other short-range tanks to compete, since it has no "special" combat abilities.

Wait what??? :o :wacko: Not. A. Chance. A Protection module should offer protection. Period.

Stronger than Firebird with alt? In a battle situation I don't think it's any stronger than other short-range turrets. Just depends on how they are used.

Why is Isida "sickening"?

What???? :o :blink: I'm more like Blackwasp - IF I get one, it's usually ~ 700-900. On rare occurrences it's a 2000 one - but much more difficult (80 kills or such). So < 10000 crystals / week from completing daily missions. Last two server re-sets.... 3 supply rewards. Switch one - another supply reward. x 2.

OR... a ratio based on team balance... 8 vs 5? The "5" should get a handicap. Having fewer tanks is at least as bad as not having same supplies. Those with more tanks tend to control map (and supply-drops) better. Unfortunately it's difficult to track as some might drop out shortly before battle ends... so - likely not.

Except we still can't complete weekly missions there. My Pro-Pass expired over a week ago. If I find there is time to play more than just completing missions I'll think about buying it again. Not really impressed with server merge - have not noticed any time-savings when looking for suitable battles.

Why? Thought MUs were cheaper now. And... already half-way there...

How are you going to get more crystals by fighting higher ranks and placing lower on scoreboard? You are better off being a big fish in a small pond. getting the lions-share of a smaller fund is still better than getting almost nothing from a larger fund.

With an attitude like yours I would not be surprised if people joined your team armed with wasp M0 and smoky M0 :D :lol: And... legends seem to be in all servers. Lots of time wasted jumping from server to server to find compatible game for missions. Hopefully a pattern sorts itself out after a while where similar ranks self-regulate to specific servers like previously.

Viking not great for Gold as it is low and many tanks ride up on it. It's not a bad hull, but, if I could have a do-over I'd probably choose Hunter for the stability - what Viking used to have before they made the ridiculous update that switched Viking and Hunter characteristics. That was criminal.

Oh I agree. It may not be the "looks" though. Some people may pay money for something that many think is fugly, but - they are "one of the few" that has it. It is weird.

Can't see BrightFusions garage at moment - just has one turret & one hull? To buy a kit the turret, hull and Module would all need to be useful else it's wasting crystals. So a Hunter M2 & Ricco M2. Could buy a kit if Protection Module is needed badly. Else just buy a 2nd turret on sale.

correct - don't buy an M2 module. If you still like smoky and maybe want a Titan, Guardian comes with Ursa that has Ricco protection. (wish it had rail though instead of shaft) I think medic still has the module with Twins protection.

Two separate discussions here... Is MU-ing useless in general? Before last update was useless to MU anything below M3. But with cost of MU reduced it is now worth it. Have Ricco get another.... mid-range turret in a kit? Not sure that is a good idea. Both Ricco and Smoky are versatile - but they occupy a similar battle-range. I'd argue Ricco is actually better on smaller maps than Smoky. So maybe best action is to commit to Ricco MU all the way to M3, and perhaps buy a different turret on a sale. (either short range like fire or a long-range like Rail) Kits do not offer as much value as they used to with removal of 1) sale discount 2) personal discount and 3) supply kit. And you pay for a useless paint.

Lobby chat? That is location-based. If your default server was EN, you would see English in the lobby chat, not Russian.

Why is MU-ing a waste of crystals? Costs no more to MU fully than it does to buy next M-level. And this will give benefits immediately.

yes - some battles can work out nicely for you - can depend on if you face weak competition. Post some with you at top vs Gismos & Legends. ;)

3) exact same thing has happened to me. Comfortable lead half-way through battle (now "invested" ) and all of a sudden half my team leaves. Que the amazing "come-back".

Economics. Consider a Bugatti and a Ferrari. Bugatti might cost 3x the Ferrari, but... is it worth it? Priced to differentiate, and make it more "exclusive".

You generalize a lot. <_< How do you know what server they were using before update?
