Review [Issue 12] Beauty in Tanki - Ranger's View

[Ranger7 75]

Well, you guessed it. Admittedly, both Lhamster and Hogree have nice choices, but, in my opinion, they certainly aren't the most beautiful. Here are my views on what looks the best.

I will review the weapons first, then hulls, then paints last:

3. Shaft

Personally, I like the looks of Shaft. It really does look like a futuristic weapon, and I love its barrel, since it is much different from your normal barrel. Though Rail is a nice weapon, Shaft really does look better than it. Before the rebalance, Shaft was most definitely the coolest looking weapon around. However, though the barrel may look nice, the thing that the barrel sticks out of isn't as nice.

2. Isida

Though it doesn't have the nice red colour like Rico, in my opinion, Isida is still pretty good looking. It really is graceful in my opinion, unlike the rough parts of Rico. It gets even better when green or red lightning shoots out of it, and I think that is part of what makes this gun so interesting to me. Though it could be argued that Freeze has a much smoother turret, Freeze can only shoot out snow, which isn't as good to look at as green or red lightning.

1. Rico

Yup. This is one awesome looking weapon. Though Shaft lost some of its color, Rico certainly did not. I really like how the red light stands out from the inside of the weapon, and I think it complements it well. Though it does have a bit of a stubby barrel, the red makes it totally worth it. I especially like how the red comes out of the vents in the back. Not only does this make it look cool, it also makes it look very dangerous. Unfortunately, due to the rebalance, Rico has been significantly nerfed. It will never be the same weapon that used to dominate many of the battles before the rebalance.




3. Titan

Though it may be bulky, I still enjoy how it looks. I have noticed that Titan is shaped so that whatever paint you equip it with, it will have the same things on each side of the tank (starting on the armor that covers its tracks). I really think this adds to it. Though it does have some rough parts, it still looks great with most paints in my opinion. Some may argue that it looks ugly, but if you look at it with a nice paint on, it isn't as bad as it looks with say, green.

2. Hornet

I have no choice here but to agree with Lhamster. This tank really does look great. I love how it is small and sleek, and at M3, it really looks extremely beautiful. The blue lights really look good on it too. I especially love the good-looking contour lines all over it. From the side, slightly tilted so that the blue lights can be seen, this tank really does look nice. Still, I have to put it at No. 2.

1. Dictator

Though some argue that this is a bulky tank, it is really beautiful. It uses its bulk to the best, which means more room for smooth armor and graceful armor plates. If you look at the sides, you will notice air intake areas, which really make it much cooler than most of the other tanks. The lights are also in an excellent position, which really makes it look good. Like Lhamster, I also like the front part of the tank, which, like he said, "look like paws".





3. Mary

Some of you may disagree with me, but I think that this is a truly beautiful paint. Though it doesn't look quite as beautiful as Emerald or Zeus, it certainly still stays high in my list of beautiful paints. Personally, I really enjoy wearing this paint. Thing is, many newer players might gasp at seeing this paint, so it must be doing something right.

2. Emerald

I really like this paint, and I love how it uses the green. Unlike most paints, which have green camouflage, this paint is the only paint that is green that is beautiful. In my opinion, it really looks very nice on relatively any combination. Still, though green goes very well with Rico and the blue lights, I have to put this paint after Zeus.

1. Zeus

I really think this is the best looking paint. Though it only has two colors in it, unlike Spark, which has a bit of purple, it still looks great. Since Spark has had its color a bit darkened, it certainly doesn't look as nice as before. Though I like the red of Electra, I prefer Zeus over it since it has more lightning. Though the red is nice, it has way too much black in it. Before the rebalance, when someone saw a person with Zeus paint equipped, they knew this was a very strong tankman. Though its protections may not be as good after the rebalance, its looks haven't changed. Still, you might see some famous tankmen using this paint, such as Reiki12345.




Well, there you have it, as Bruce would probably say. I hope you have enjoyed my little review of the most beautiful tanks, weapons, and paints. Do you still agree with Hogree or Lhamster?

Good job, but, I'll stay with my preferred combo's. :)

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

Nice one R...

[r_SwagBoy110 421]

I'll agree with you that Dictator looks very nice, at M3. But Rico.. ehh, it looks like a nose. :lol:

[monster0909 299]

Finally! Some one agreed with me! High-Five! :lol:

[LETCHIK_WOLK 370]

Isida's crap.

Haha, I remember you liked to use it XD

[skitee 555]

Emerald and Zeus are undoubtedly in the 10 ugliest paints in the game. They both look like scum. As does Dictator. I would never use Dictator, Zeus or Emerald, just because I would be ashamed to carry about somethings as ugly as that around with me. Well written article though, even if your opinions suck. xD

skitee... you think those paints are ugly... great now i got 2 guys to slap and then re slap :P

[BoRn.To.Be.WiLd 29]

Dictator is ugly :|

[ExtremeKiller26 443]

Dictator looks cool with railgun, but with rico.... meh.

[Lhamster 4,081]

Rico? Just no, especially with dictator, tater can only look good with a few guns or on its own.

[mchen 162]

Ricochet looks good but not with dictator

[Notchfan 616]

Titan? Though I agree it looks decent(i.e. resembles a tank), but I did not expect it to be on this list :o

 

Dictator is shaped like an, uh old shoe. M3 is beautiful but at M0-M2 the chicken wire around it really disturbs me.

 

And where's viking?

Edited June 2, 2013 by Notchfan

[r_SwagBoy110 421]

Titan is the ugliest tank... by far... O__O

Quote removed, avoid quoting large amounts of text in the future.

 

Tank u call beautiful is one of the most ugliest tanks ever, but I have to agree with you about Hornet, so beautiful on M1 and M3, but it doesn't looks that great on M2
