Awful but true.  :)

You...sniff, sniff...too? :( :( :( :(

Yes but remember that Firebird has a very limited range and has the slowest reload time of all the spray weapons. There are plenty of problems with other turrets. Vulcan and Twins have way too much impact force (at the M1 level they throw around my Hunter M2 like a tennis ball), Smoky has a really fast reload time combined with a long range and fairly good damage, Thunder can oftentimes shoot through walls and buildings in the game (I am not sure if this is a hack or not).

I know I will never reach Generalissimo, so I might as well enjoy my time down here with the rowers. :)

Rico, too, has massive impact force. They can bully light hulls at will.

[george_ace 57]

Yeah, I know. At the M1 level it can mke my heavily MUd Wasp M1 do somersaults. Even with my Hunter M2 on I still don't have enough weight to resist its impact force.

Should I keep on MUing my alt's Fire M2 further? Currently at 27/50 60.1 DPs.

Firebird M3 looks incredible I'd like to thank the devs for their impeccable designs

The afterburn time for Fire M3 is just sick!

[9.nine 101]

Personally, im an anti- friebird kind of guy. In rico vs fire fights,im usually left with 1/3rd hp,if its on a hornet.Against fire/viking, no chance of survival

[inthehouse81 34]

I have an M2 Hunter as well, your're right, Twins, Vulcan and Ricochet do throw this amazing hull about, I have MUed it 5/50 times and its starting to improve the "throwy abouty ness". I'm planning to get M2 Firebird on a sale since I have heard it's OP and it is OP, thanks to the fully drugged Firewall kits I encounter in Noise CTF 24/7. After that maybe a good paint, probably Sandstone.

Don't get Sandstone if you already have Corrosion. Spark works really well against Twins/Ricos.

It's way too OP in my opinion. They should nerf it a little, not much though. Maybe a Shorter burst or something. Like Raphael2 said, it can kill a Mammoth in one burst, which is a little bit too Over Powered really.

[Schlyttinator 0]

That's the same With me, 9.nine. I have barely any Health left even though i started firing.

And yet us Firebirds get picked off in large maps by snipers before we even know where they are.

Eliminate the continued burn damage. It's annoying is even more aggrivating that the users doesn't take damage as well.

[Carraway 0]

Firebird is the most dangerous gun in Tanki Online. I mean that burn damaged! The attack without the burn damage. Put firebird on hunter and  man. YOU ARE THE KING!

[george_ace 57]

Firebirds should have higher damage because their range is way shorter than almost all other turrets (except Isida, which is a support weapon). They may seem really OP on small maps (good for short-range weapons), but on large maps (such as Brest) Shafts, Railguns, and other medium range or long range turrets win. Also to note is that Firebird M2 and M3 are both very expensive for their level.

[SarfarazTheGreatKhan 20]

So M3 Firebird damage is 72 in 1/2 a sec. So in a full second its actually 144 dmg, compared to Freeze 80 dmg and Isida dmg, in terms of damage Firebird is by far the best?

I don't know about the best, but I like it. Every turret/hull combo has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Why does everyone want to use it with Hornet? Hornet has very little health and since u need to get close with firebird, u'll have lost half ur health before u even get into shooting range of the enemy.
