Gauss literally can topscore every single CP battle, it's crazy.

I'm assuming the shooter lagged, and thus the other tank wasn't in his screen at the time, allowing him to hit you instead. Or the targeted guy lagged instead.

Low ranks can just have m2 smoky and with that m2 unlock rank it's crazy powerful.

A gun with a low m1 unlock rank, but high m2 unlock rank will give you great power through micro upgrades, and smoky fits this category, but you could also go for a balanced gun that can work well in all ranges... Though to be honest smoky still fills that role. Currently gauss is utterly devastating (even m2 has a chance to oneshot m4 medium hulls if they aren't protected). I'd only use firebird and freeze if you're confident in your skills with them, as not having a good hull is going to make it feel like hell to progress. Isida can sort of work due to the healing ability and no damage dropoff for attacking but I recommend using it with viking unless you're using the broadband radiators alteration. And generally long range guns like railgun, shaft, magnum have all insane damage so they can let you claim kills even if your hulls aren't up to speed with the enemies of your rank. I can't say much about twins, hammer, ricochet as I don't use them a lot... I guess I skipped thunder, I would start using it at m2 probably, as it can benefit a lot from the microupgrades all the way to m3, and you'll unlock the sledgehammer rounds alteration along the way which will make it a nightmare to anyone unprotected (Unfortunately, protection is common). So... I guess smoky is quite ideal to cross through the m1 ranks. But at m2 you start to have more powerful variety.

It's actually possible to hit/laser target (with striker) a small part of the turret, specifically where it's mounted, but only shaft can actually hit the gun barrels.

Sounds nice. I like this. Dictator could probably get the same healing score factor with the activated healing supply?

1.37 is simply what you get by doing 171337/124788, try it.

Ironically that often causes me trouble, but it's a necessity if you are to hit stuff with uranium.

No he's more saying "You don't get many kills vs a group because you removed twins's splash damage".

Often I am either the backbone of my team's defense or I just lead the match... I bought a battle pass once. You can just look at their GS for that. And, "lucky" I'd rather get crystals than supplies.

Premium+beginner pass? Some people play a lot.

Before I bought sledgehammer, I had SCCM back from when I last used to play... Result is I prefered to play with stock because it 2 shots unprotected mediums unlike the alteration. It may even be a downgrade from a gameplay side. You stay longer in the open for no apparent upside aside the chance to kill an unprotected (And that's not really often) light hull in 2 shots a little faster.

You can also just plop it on titan and pummel enemies while you chill in your dome :D

1) I personally think this is the most f2p tanki has ever been. There is an unfairness in the way kits from the shop are handled, but that's no longer a problem at your rank. You get plenty crystals and with weekly containers you get enough drugs. 2) My pc is literally a potato, that can barely run diablo 3 at lowest settings at 30 fps, and I run 60 fps on tanki. And how do skins, which do absolutely nothing to gameplay, ruin a game? If anything they give income to the devs without screwing the balance. 3) No need to pay anything, you just have to be smart and not buy a thousand m2s when you could have a pair of m3s and good modules for defense. 4) Missions give you so many supplies, I can't even run out. I once told myself "If I ever drop below 500 supplies, I'll stop using them." this was nearly 3 months ago, and I now have 3000+ of each using them almost all the time. Now the fact that matchmaker is unable to create balanced teams, I'll give it to you. And before you go "you're too low rank, you haven't seen old tanki" I started back in 2010-2011, and this is not my first account.

I don't get it, do people actually run out of drugs? I use them all the time and they pretty much grow...

It does great for me with destabilization, but I assume scout will do just as well.

As the guy in the receiving end of smoky's shots I find supercumulative rounds extra annoying, because you cannot predict when you should use a repair kit. Otherwise the most popular ones are incendiary/cryo rounds and autocannon but you won't see those for a while.

So far I've seen molotov, but neither cross or archipelago. But archipelago seems like it'd be an annoying map to be in to be honest.

Perhaps a distaste towards the most common/overrated combo on the battlefield? I get it :lol: I'd move over to titan with EAS anyway :P should be deadly enough.

Maxing up titan/smoky to m2 will make you an unstoppable force on the battlefield, I wouldn't buy another m1 kit. Upgrade your current one, and when the time for an m2 kit comes, evaluate if it's worth it. You'll probably end up wanting one around my ranks, as your current kit needs 3 red stars to get to stock m2, so it's very late, but other m2s can be micro'd to m3 so they're going to be worth it then.

It's probably because hornet gets oneshot by everything, and EAS compels you to stay in the open even more than usual.

Correct, for every piece of equipment. However the increased power and the possibility of hitting 25% sales on micros make it worth it, if you focus on a single combo.

I see at least 2 shafts in every battle, and we go up to 5-6 if it happens to be stadium/brest/highways... :rolleyes:

I tried stock and it's useless compared to destabilization... The amount of times you hit a straight up 2000 or more are many. Whereas the stock railgun struggles to hit 1500 on dd, and if people are protected you can just give up. Consider destabilization still raises the average damage per shot by nearly 15%. I haven't tried scout, however I can tell you that, at m4, a stock rail has 324 dps, a destabilization has 367, and a scout gets a good 403, and you still retain the entire impact force. As for large caliber rounds (you didn't mention this one, but I'll include it anyway), it gets 321 dps, but it's more likely to cause instant kills than the other 3.
