Let's Discuss Paints!

[roadkill78 39]

Hey! I really need some advice. I have needle already and I use it a lot. What do you recommend me getting? Note that I am ranking to marshall soon and I was thinking between Nano and Prodigi. 

 

Thanks!

figure it out

figure it out

Hello?... I posted in this topic because I "can't" figure out.

[roadkill78 39]

the thing is is it really hard to decide what paint to get

its not like your getting a turret or hull

[DESTRUCTOR2 84]

That is true, but I am not looking for looks or how good the paint makes my tank look. I am looking for the stats for the best paint to protect me from getting killed.

I don't know why new paints looks like special paints from far  :blink:

Invader (Masters Of Parkour)

Fracture (Champion)

Blacksmith (Reporter) 

Rhino (Tester)

Lumberjack (Ruby)

The new special paint "lord" is tooooo OP -_-

[ll.DonT.Even.Try.ll 513]

 

I plan to buy Hunter M3 very soon. What paint should I get with it? Pick one option.

 

Option A: Nano

Option B: Tiger

Option C: Taiga

Option D: Mars

 

I'm leaning toward Option A, for the now - what would you do?

 

Depends on a lot of matters:

• Your hulls list
• Maps you‘re interested to play in
• Other paints you have

"Lord" is a fascination paint. "This paint is exclusive property of the player sidlob. He received it as a gift from the administration because he helped Tanki Online with legal issues at the beginning of the project."

i heard it changed from 10% to 30% to everything instead. thats a bit of a BIG CHANGE CORRECT? :p

Why can't their be sales more often? it's hard to save up when you have other things to do during the week. Also, it would be great if you made Gold Boxes more common, or if you made them worth more than 1000, besides special occasions.

Guy is prolly is a corporate lawyer, with a speciality in online business or international busineess. A "paint" specifically made for him, might reflect a small bonus on top of a large fee. $10000-100000+.

As far as paints go, I vote for dirty being the overall best for the money. It work aginst rails 8+% and shafts 26+%- paarticular shafts. For the price $17.5K , there is no equal or better long range paint till Sandstone (82K) or Blacksmith(90k) .

 

SInce rails and shafts do the most damge per shot, Dirty by default rduces  actual  damage more than any other paint on the average.

 

One paint that does come close is Corrosion, but it costs twice as much, and adds thunder defence -which are rarely seen IMO. And its shaft def is not as good.

 

Dirtty can  work for you, all the way to Captain rank or better. Worth the money, especially at a discount. With MU's its shaft defense can get very good, +39% , that is hard to beat especially for 57K total, (17K+40Kmu) , The first two MU's alone get it +30%

Save up for hulls or turrets. Dirty is not that good of a paint. You dont really need a paint untill youre captain/major cause you can defeat others with skill more (if youre not skilled, buy paints...). Later in the game, skills are less superior to equipment and you need to buy something better for your rank.

can someone send me a pic of what vortex paint looks like

That is your opinion. However paints are often found in many "kits". I picked up my Dirty in an XL Starter Kit along w ith 2 other paints, 3hulls, and 3 turrets and 50ea supply, for only 8900 crystals. I would agree that just buying paints at full price is a waste. Kits may well be the best way to get them, at a steal, if the Kit contain enough items you want. Paints are an "extra bargain" in many kits. 

 

As to using no paint till Captain, I doubt more than 5% of the people who have played this game have followed such a torturous route. Perhaps you did, but that was your preference. To forfeit some kinda of paint advantage is silly, especially as it is easy to tailor paints to certain kind of maps and certain game play styles. As it is, when I play a couple hours I might see one person with a "neutral" paint . The rest of them are using paints and all of them are well below the rank of major/captain. No paint may be the default option for a poor private on the first day, but generally people have paints in a short period of time.

this is vortex, a pretty nice illusion paint for tankers!!

A paint providing medium protection against Vulcan, Ricochet and Thunder. Will help in combat at medium and long ranges. Covers your tank in a quirky pattern.

i meant what it looked like on a tank

too bad the protection really isn't that good

[roadkill78 39]

sandstone paint is overpriced

fracture paint hurts my eyes yet i still want it
