Let's Discuss Firebird!

[husto 474]

Firebird i think is one of the strongest M3 Gun in tanki, but i think the after burn is the only reason it is good.

it's a weapon that goes with fast tanks, just to kill one-two enemies and then die.

Say what. :lol:

 

Burn and then hide/run. ^_^  Killing one-two enemies and then dying is like if you're trying to kill as fast as possible. :lol:  Burning is pretty fun. ..

Awesome with afterburn,but very Long reload time,ive got m2

[OOheroOO 2]

Wasp/Firebird combo will get you good results in the WO ranks sure, but after that you're better off relying on another combo until you get both Wasp and Firebird to M2.

That's my secondary combo ,but twins knockback is very annoying.I can't go near them and they shoot NO-STOP

You get good D/Ls with Firebird

Yep. In my opinion, it's the best weapon of choice for DMs in small maps.

 

It's also good for attacking in CTF.  :)

firebird is good for newcomers too, coz theres NO strategy with them.

Dude, don't run toward Twins. Get away from them, then surprise them. Even if you run away, it doesn't mean you stopped targeting them. ;) Running to them would just be giving them a free kill . ..

The problem   in polygon DM is that ,you can't move 10 meters without being shot by someone especially when it is a 16 people game

I agree that it finishes too fast. & of course the after burn is what makes it good. It makes it fun. & yes it is a gun that mostly kill acouple then die but if you see a group attacking each ither close in a DM youve just hit jackpot :p

Control your fuel. Do not dish all of your fuel out on one enemy. Depending on the hull.

 

Light Hull -> Either use 1/4 or 1/2 of your tank or Use until Burn effect is at its limit. (Until the enemy cannot turn more red) Then just keep the burn at the maximum limit until the enemy dies.

 

Medium Hull -> Use 1/2 or 3/4. Then keep the Burn at its maximum limit.

 

Heavy Hull -> Use 100%. Then wait until the fuel has regained 1/4 and keep the burn at its maximum limit.

 

(If you have Low Armor/Health, then of course I suggest you go crazy with the fuel. . . . :D)

only problem is the reload, but if it reloaded faster it would be seriously OP.

Contrary to what most people think, Firebird M1 is pretty awesome. I can't wait to M2/3 it.

[raxcave 1]

Oh, right. Most of the time people fail with that combo but I have seen people do well with that said combo.

[JohnnyBoi_007 0]

I use M1 Wasp and M1 Firebird, and I still get a good D/L. As an honest opinion, the firebird is amazing. It is pretty good for TDM for CTF, and ok for DM, but it rocks in CTF battles.

I love burning drugging light tanks with my m2 fire, because even without drugging, if I can burn them for a full 4 seconds, they die eventually.

[husto 474]

firebird is underrated. In my opinion it's one of the best weapons in NS battles with light hulls

[aojsd 144]

Speaking of being good with light tanks, I'm not sure which is better, firebird with wasp m2 or firebird with hornet m3?

[doughnut2100 763]

Yes its under rated because people say its too slow. Yes but if it was faster itd be OP people.

Wasp.

 

The armor at M2-M3 isn't much of a difference from Hornet. And not to mention Wasp is so much faster, and it will be even more rapid later on. Crazy yeh?

 

The speed will allow you to burn many opponents, or at least reach enemies faster. You do not have to kill, since the burn will kill it for you. Firebird has a crazy good DPS.

 

Not to mention of course, with Wasp's small size you can easily act like a support tank and hide behind walls, or even friendly Tanks. With walls you can burn the opponent then run. Then use your speed to be as elusive as possible, dodging their attacks and surprising them. The burn will wear them out, remember.

 

Hornet you will be more convinced to make an abrupt charge. The fact is you'll probably get crushed.

^^And it is easier to outrange those pesky isidas with wasp.

well you cannot compare a M2 tank to another M3 tank in my opinion, in this case hornet is better for firebird, but if you speak about both M3 tanks I'd say wasp.
