Isida and Twins - Swash early, then Electra

Fire and Rico, buy Loam

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

You see less ricos as you rank, and Swash protects against the other 3. Need some MUs though.

I'm thinking of getting hohloma or emerald, crystals are not a problem, and neither isrank, so which is better? In looks and preotection?

I would say inferno

[Shellfire_tanki 1,820]

I would say inferno

there aren't that many freezes at my rank so I'm tempted to go with emerald.

[EPICPURPLEDUDE 1]

Should I buy Corrosion?

[Tenderfoot 41]

I Need a paint with protection from rail. And at least 2 of thunder, shaft and vulcan. 

 

Budget is about 110k crystals and i will rank fairly soon.

(looking at sandstone and digital at the moment)

 

Suggestions would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Does 5% protection really do anything? Does 10%?

Yes. Both help. Constant fire weapons like Fire, Isida, and Vulcan require higher percentage protection though.

what paint advise to take? i play mostly on the maps Massacre(CTF), Serpuhov(CTF), Rio(CTF), Polygon(DM/CP), Highways, Kungur.
use Thunder.3+Viking.3 or Shaft.3+Mammoth.2 (rarely Hornet.3 on Serpuhov). now looking for Emerald, Jade or Prodigi(will be avaible soon for me)

On those naps you will need a lot of Thunder and Rail protection, maybe shaft too but Viking can take a shaft shot and still make a kill before the shaft reloads. That and shafts are virtually nonexistent at high ranks. Go with good Thunder and Rail protection in that order. You can check the paint table yourself for which one suits you best.

Sandstone

Thanks. Just seen blacksmith. Does that change your recommendation.

I use a lower-level version of Thunder/Viking/Corrosion for Massacre CTF .

If you are that worried about Vulcan (don't be), just buy Invader. You won't find many battles with Vulcans and even fewer where the Vulcans are dominating. It does happen though, so having basic protection with some MUs is handy but not required. Not worth the crystals for a combo paint like Blacksmith.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Can you folks out there explain to me what are the best paints to use in Tanki Online?

 

There are quite a few paint that provide protection from 4 turrets. Which ones are the best?

[Contradiction 1,242]

If you are interested in making inquiries on what to buy, I would suggest doing so in the already existing topic: What to buy? Which is better?

made an excellent guide to choosing a paint, I would suggest reading it: Choosing a Paint. He also created a guide detailing top-tier paints, one can find it here: Dissected: Top Tier Paints.

The Ideas and Suggestions section is not the correct section to create topics like this.

Good choice. I personally alternate between Sandstone and Loam depending on what I find in maps.

Why you dont want to buy better paint, for example, "with love"?

'Can' but usually won't.
