Currently still Twins M0 - and cannot compete with Rico M0. How do you use Twins? Defence, offence? With what hull?

I'm finding it harder and harder to use with each day. Damn, my Death/Kill ratio is better with Rail then with Twins... and I suck with Rail...

^ So Twins is OP right now like Rico, but Rico is just so OP that Twins seems nerfed. I suggest you get Dragon paint, only 3k and 22 protection from Ricochet. I have it on my other 2 accounts.

 

Twins can be used as offense, defense, and midfield/support. My two favorite hulls to use it with are Hornet and Hunter. Mammoth is also popular, but I prefer Titan. Put it on Hornet, and your job is offense. Try to take a side route to the flag (I'm assuming you play CTF), wait for a weak spot in the enemy's defense, and run! *Hint: NEVER charge! Twins requires enough health so that it has time to kill. Going head-on with Hornet does not give you that. Instead, hide behind walls, buildings, other teammates etc. and be sneaky.

Put Twins on Hunter, and your job is midfield/support. Go to either the side of the map (I suggest you only play small/medium maps), or just go to the middle, and constantly blast away at the enemy, clearing the way for the Hornets and Wasps to go for the flag.

Put it on Mammoth or Titan, your job is probably defense. With Mammoth, you can go offensive if you drug. This is true with Titan also. However, with Titan, it's easy to be a midfielder too. Mammoth should always stick back though, defending the flag.

All of that looks solid. Especially part "NEVER charge!"  ;)

Any hints how to use it in TDM ?

Defending is good with Twins Mammoth.Defend the flag  and place mines and that flag will not be captured!

i think that there are no flags in TDM  <_<

[Vettefan22 145]

TDM- Kind of similar.

 

Hornet: Sneak behind enemy lines, taking out people from behind as they're focused on the rest of your team. Try to kill at least one person per time you get killed.

 

Hunter/Viking/Dictator: Stick to the sides (again, only go in small and medium maps) and just blast away.

 

Titan/Mammoth: CHARGE! Wipe out everyone, row by row!

Also, has anyone with M1/M1 or higher had a good game with Hornet/Twins? Just interested...

i have m1 twins and use it on m2 hornet and i get like 1k crystal in about 1hour :wub:

but man if im using wasp/rail or wasp/fire, twins is my worst enemy!!!

its knockback makes me lose control of my tank!!  :angry:

that's why i always have  a twins protection paint equiped~ ^_^

[werty8763 1,483]

oh and btw, im hoping that there will be a 50% sale on everything on June 4th!!!~ (tanki's birthday)

I HOPE ITS 50% AND NOT 25% LIKE LAST YEAR!!!  :angry:

 

im just saying that every tankman is waiting for a 50%sale on EVERYTHING!!~  :wub:

am i right??  ^_^

[werty8763 1,483]

It means Rate of Fire.

 

Anyway, I don't see Twins very often for one reason or the other. It's probably since Rico is more popular.

 

Twins has several strengths:

1. Good knockback per shot. At medium range, if you can keep your aim trained at a Railgun or Shaft user, they won't be able to hit you very well

2. Great damage per second. Maybe a little less than Rico in the short term, but because you don't really need to reload, it's better for prolonged combat.

3. Not many people expect it. Like I said, it's not very common, so most people don't wear Twins-protective paints.

 

On Rio or other maps, I like to steamroll through with a Mammoth/Twins combo. Not much can stop you, especially if you're drugged up. Titan would probably be a little better in this regard, but I don't have it at the moment.

hey man, i have on twins protection paint on all the time!!  (no.3)

your wrong on that one~  :P

 twins is still king...... sometimes

 lol

[werty8763 1,483]

Guys i am saving for an m2 turret but am really confused...i have about 70 000 so shall i get fire m2 or twins m2? Or shall i just continue with my m2 freeze which is so under powered

if you like short-ranged weapons, get fire or isida, both are really good

but if you like medium/long ranged gun, get twins or rico 

if you snipe, get shaft or rail

but....... (rico is overpowered)  lol

[Vettefan22 145]

^ That was like 5 posts. O_o

 

I take it you like Twins :P

[Theawesomecooldude 108]

Looking to get m2 twins soon. M2 twins is very dangerous every time I encounter them plus it looks kinda scary too. :blink:

[GumaTurbo 19]

So overall, which hull you find best for twins? If you had to chose one - which would it be?

And knockback - on M0 its almost non-existing. I mean I see almost no effect on enemy's aim when I fire at them. You say M1+ is better in that aspect? I know that impact on M0 is around 70, and on M1 ~100, but hulls also get heavier reducing the effect.

[Vettefan22 145]

^ 1 hull: I would definitely pick Hornet. This combo is so much fun to use! And if you know how to use it right, you can get a pretty good DL too. Flipping people, messing up their aim, circling around them like a boss, mmmmmm. Love it!

 

Yes, M0 knockback only works well when tanks are in the air so you can flip them (my favorite technique :D) However, I've seen M1 Twins do some pretty significant shaking if they aim it right. On light hulls, I would hit one side, then the other, constantly swaying my turret. Anything else, just focus on one corner.

Gonna get this baby m2 at the sale on June 4th. I will tell you guys my impressions when the time comes.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]
