Which M1 should i save up for?

[mistriker 8]

I wasted a lot of crystals buying all the turrets and hulls. Now I have the dilemma of choosing which turret to upgrade. I currently have M1 Wasp and M1 Firebird (waste of crystals). So what do you guys think I should get to pair up with my Wasp?

Freeze is good, try that.

Or rail if you think you can do well with it long range.

For Warrant Officer Ranks:

 

* These are the M1 weapons I have

 

Smoky *

- 11K to upgrade, very inexpensive.

- It is very dynamic (fits any hull, good for any map, does well in any gamemode, good for different styles of play [offensive, midfielding, defending, camping, sniping])

- It is a balanced weapon compared to other M1 turrets. If you play with people below your rank, it is OP against M0 hulls.

- If you like to play Polygon DM's, Smoky/Mammoth is one of the best choices

- In my opinion M1 Smoky loses a little bit of power after Warrant Officer ranks. It is still good against Lieutenants, but it will be harder to get kills.

~ Overall, I do recommend Smoky. It works with any hull, and it can be used in whatever kind of battles you like to play. Smoky (IMO) is better off as a sniper weapon, and it has critical hit.

 

Isida *

- I got this weapon because it was on sale and from M0 to M1 there is a change. However, the change is not worth the 18K, but never the less it is still a good weapon

- Obviously, if you like healing, then get M1 Isida. The range in my opinion does not really change.

~ Overall, I don't recommend getting M1 Isida, especially since is 18K. I got it for 9K (50% sale), and you are better off saving for other weapons.

 

Thunder (from these weapons down I don't have, so it is based on my observation)

- Thunder is the most expensive M1 weapon. However, it is OP. The base damage significantly increases, as it can kill a M1 Mammoth in 4 shots. If you use it with double damage, you can one-shot M0 light hulls.

- Also good on Mammoth, as Mammoth is very cheap to buy

~ It is good if you can afford it. It may be on sale in the next couple of weeks. Good if you like midfielding, as the fire rate is not that high and it does not have the best accuracy, either.

 

Freeze

- M2 freeze unlocks at WO5. If you get M1 freeze, you will be able to unlock a M2 weapon very early.

- From my observation, Freeze as OP as it is, still retains its firepower at M1. The change seems pretty evident.

~ Good weapons to get. If you like to be the one on the offensive in CTF, then this is a good weapon.

 

Railgun

- I wish I'd saved for this one. Damage is up to 120 (equivalent to M0 shaft), so against M0 hulls it is OP. 

- Huge change from M0 to M1. At 29K, definitely worth it.

- Good if you like sniping, and the hit and run tactic is extremely annoying

~ OP. Fits well on Hornet and Viking, and I think there will be a sale on it in the coming weeks. Rank up to WO3, and kill everybody.

 

Twins

- 35K, pretty expensive. LIke rail, big change from M0 to M1. In close quarters, it can easily take down a Mammoth. Use it with drugs, and you might as well take the entire battle fund.

~ Requires WO4 and a lot of crystals to buy. Again, works well on Mammoth (A very cheap M1 Hull).

 

Shaft

- At M1 IMO it is weak. It has 150 damage, so you can't one shot dictators. It is pretty cheap, so if you like sniping then I guess you can give it a try

 

--

 

I would say get either Smoky or Freeze. Both weapons keep their strength at M1, and they are not very expensive (Freeze is so-so)

I honestly think smoky and wasp would suit you fine. (but thats just my opinion)

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Hulls:

 

Hornet - I got it for 11K today. Change is somewhat evident, but definitely worth it. Its increased allows you to take jumps easier, and if you use Forester paint, you can survive a M1 Rail.

 

Mammoth - 3K crystals to unlock, insanely cheap. Speed is slightly improved, but turning speed is still slow. Biggest change is 200 HP. This hull can really take hits.

 

Viking/Dictator - Both have pretty much the same amount of HP (165 for Viking, 164 for Dictator). However, Dictator is faster and as a higher turning speed. Viking is more popular due to its price and looks.

 

Titan - Pretty much a Mammoth with 10 less HP. Still a cheap hull, nevertheless.

 

Hunter - I don't see a lot of these. I guess it's good if you want a mix of a Hornet and Viking.

Thanks for the detailed descriptions!

Mammouth, flag ship, best one.

huh?

After a couple calculations, I found that M1 Smokey does less damage than M0 Thunder per minute.

Don't forget those Criticals. And Smoky does better than Thunder at a big map where you have to hit enemies from afar soo .. . .  

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

 M1 Firebird/ M1 Wasp works great at your rank doesn't it? :D

 

However, if you want to keep using wasp then try out Isida. If you find isida a bit boring then maybe Railgun or Smoky.

Hornet M1 can already survive a M1 rail shot. Did you mean M2 rail?

Railgun..i have it m1 and it rock! :)

[husto 474]

it depends on your gamestyle, but I would suggest you freeze or richo :)

The problem is I keep getting railguned when I am rushing anyone with firebird.

[mistriker 8]

Yea, freeze seems to be working. I'm not very good with the recoil from ricochet plus the insane fastness of wasp.

[mistriker 8]

Railgun..i have it m1 and it rock! :)

Is its reload time bearable?

Yea I got the forester paint so my wasp withstands railgun shots.

Shaft M1 is weak ? :mellow:

 

I'm using it from time to time; I still pwn with it.. Looking forward to buy it M2 :)

Mheh, Railguns will love you.

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Hornet M1 can already survive a M1 rail shot. Did you mean M2 rail?

I thought M1 Rail was up to 120 damage. Maybe I remembered incorrectly.

Ok well never mind then. :D 

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

 Yes, but it rarely goes from a range o 116-120. It's common range is like 90-110 probably. Occasionally a 80 or 120. So it won't always 1-shot a Hornet, but it has the potential to.

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

Is its reload time bearable?

It all depends on you. Bearable to all the railgunners out there. We love it. I think it's the hardest weapon to skillfully use, which makes it fun with plenty of things to learn and practice.
