Garage description:

 

 

A good weapon for short-range battle. Fires a stream of napalm that burns tanks within its damage radius. Burning opponents continue to take damage even after the Firebird's attack stops. Can thaw frozen tanks and is a great choice for fast and medium hulls.

Thank you! It helped me get my hull faster and better.

I use Firebird as my main weapon. My dream tank is Firebird M3 + Wasp M3 + Zeus. I love using this combo to sneak behind enemy lines and destroy them while in motion. My Firebird M1 is fully MUd and my Wasp M1 is MUd 30/50. I will get Firebird M2 and Wasp M2.

The firebird is powerful depending on how well you use it. Firebird has a decent reload time, but on the other hand it does have great attack power. After your die, you have afterburn damage which can inflict damage to your opponent (kill from the grave- basically). The one thing that I like is that, the longer you are burning them the more  red your opponent's tank turns. This let's me know when I have done my part. The firebird runs out of fire quickly it seems, but your able to get at least 2 kills out of each reload. What's good about the firebird is that it's meant to take on like a whole army of tanks, however, it's not meant to be used for long range attacks. It can't just blast out a shot and expect to reach your opponent who's on the other side of the area. Firebird is close-range. The disadvantages is that the firebird can be sniped and when you try and get near a shaft it can shoot you no matter what distance you are. You just need to be aware of what guns you're going against when using the firebird.

 

That is all, Thank You! Please like :D

I dont like firebird.

Freeze is so much more effective and freeze needs skill to use it. Unlike firebird when you can just rush at them and be a jerk.

Freeze is better ^^

I like Freeze too. I use Firebird for team battles because the burn effect can give me extra XP and I use Freeze for DM battles because of the freeze effect and the added difficulty for my kills to be stolen. By the way, the whole 'skills' argument is pointless since all turrets require skill to be used well.

Guys don't be too surprised when Tanki nerfs Firebird in January. After we've spent loads of crystals on it during holiday sales. Let history be a teacher. Remember the May and June sales, followed by the July rebalance?

I know. That's why I have Freeze M2 as backup.

Nothin' like some fall-off-the-bone Mammoth ribs.

I would like a kit like Prometheus but with a Wasp M3 instead of a Hunter M3. Better yet, make them XTs! It should be called the "Dragon Kit".

I don't get why everyone puts Firebird on medium and heavy hulls. There is so much more it can do on light hulls, and for medium and heavy hulls its limited range makes it difficult to kill anything. I always thought short range weapons go best for light hulls, and for medium and heavy hulls medium range and long range turrets go best.

Someone here use Firebird M2 as main weapon ?

No one puts Fire on heavy hulls except in really small maps.+

I use Viking-Firebird just fine, you just have to pay attention and ambush the enemy.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

CTF and CP goodness. Good for spraying multiple enemies who don't WANT to leave, while enduring the punishment those tanks try to deal you.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I never considered Isida a threat until M3. M3 Isida is just about invincible in one on one encounters.

 

Pop DD and you just rip through tanks. Any damage you take is self-healed almost immediately.

 

Sorry posted to wrong thread ;)

I'm debating if I should team firebird M2 with viking M3. Hornet is so weak.

 

Getting isida M3 could be another option, as it self heals and that might work with hornet.

I would love to hear a lot more from players who have paired Viking with Firebird.

 

What is your play style?

 

What are your preferred maps?

 

What paints do you use and why?

 

How do you compensate for Viking's relatively slow speed when using Furebird - a short range weapon?

I would love to hear a lot more from players who have paired Viking with Firebird.

 

What is your play style? Support and attacking.

 

What are your preferred maps? Anything with tunnels to ambush with.

 

What paints do you use and why? Storm, it suits my role well.

 

How do you compensate for Viking's relatively slow speed when using Furebird - a short range weapon? Ambushing and outflanking their attacks. And Speed boost.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Question, does DD effect afterburn if I equip it after attacking them?
