Let's Discuss Viking!

[M1-A2 840]

I have experience with most of the other turrets, thanks to my alts.

I do like thunder so ill go with that. Thanks!

Thunder is a great choice, but you might want to consider getting an alternate mid-range weapon in case there are a lot of players with Thunder paints around.

 

Then again, you do have Shaft.

If you let yourself get cornered, then you deserve to die.

Recently I was chasing someone and I managed to corner him and then all of a sudden he fly hacked over me and left the battle as soon as he ran away . 

[Chameleos 157]

i usually dont corner enemies,since they ALL lag above me.. but isida's range is extendable,once it connects,it goes further :P

[ALEKSEJ0077 150]

I remember when you were in rage mode and showed that noob a real isida viking xD

[Chameleos 157]

Ok, so now you hate quicker turning speed and better stats?

You are one strange camel...

i prefer those stats though,it's way quicker d:

[trombone_ftw 734]

Agh, you multi-quoted and confused me...

 

Pic won't show (comp is messed up ok), I'm assuming Viking? But it's not faster... hmm.

[Chameleos 157]

check now

[trombone_ftw 734]

Still won't show .-.

[Chameleos 157]

;-; well i meant all kinds of acceleration,you can see on the wiki (plus the 30 more hp cx)

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I vouch for Hunter. Can't beat the great speed, stability, appearance, and versatility.

 

The weight is also better than Viking for some reason. Not complaining.

[M1-A2 840]

I like hunter when I'm using firebird, but when it comes to sniping I'm all for viking

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

The differences between Viking and Hunter are small, a lot smaller than often suggested IMO.

There are some speed and HP differences, but not spectacular ones.

The Hunter is a bit smaller than the Viking, but only just a bit, nothing like compared to the Dictator.

 

 

Both hulls follow different upgrade patterns and this mostly makes up for the differences.

 

At M0: doesn 't really matter

 

At M1: first the Viking M1, the Hunter M1 takes over at Warrant officer 4

 

At M1: (from WO4) the Hunter M1

 

At M2: first the Hunter M2, the Viking M2 takes over at Lieutenant-Colonel

 

At M2: (from LT-Colonel) the Viking M2

 

At M3: the Viking M3, the Hunter M3 (probably) takes over at Fieldmarshal

 

At M3: (from Fieldmarshal) probably the Hunter M3

 

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Ranks

 

If you have to choose one hull for your entire Tanki carreer till at least Fieldmarshal I would take the Viking for sure.

The worst time the Viking has is the time that the Hunter M1 ánd certainly the Hunter M2 pawn it.

 

These "dark ages" of the Viking are between WO4 and LT-Colonel.

This period in XP is LT-Colonel 's 455.000 minus WO4 's 125.000 = 330.000 XP

 

 

From LT-Colonel the Viking M2 ánd certainly the Viking M3 pawn the Hunter M2.

 

These "happy days" of the Viking last till at least Fieldmarshal when a phoenix rises from the ashes: the Hunter M3.

This period in XP is Fieldmarshal 's 1.122.000 minus LT-Colonel 's 455.000 = 667.000 XP

 

Simply looking at the XP needed till Fieldmarshal the Viking is (twice) the better choice.

 

The best solution ofcourse, if you have the crystals... is to skip the "Viking 's dark ages" with the Hunter M1 and Hunter M2. :)

Your viking m3 and isida m3?xD

[Chameleos 157]

Your viking m3 and isida m3?xD

on my main yes :P

i gotta add to the post above you,that with micro upgrades at m3,there's no such "takeover" from a hull to the other :P
