I've expanded my M4 ROI analysis.

 

Turret Min-M3 Min-M4 Max-M3 Max-M4 Min-Impr Max-Impr Min-% Max-% Crystals C per %

Shaft 221.8 280 221.8 280 58.2 58.2 26.24% 26.24% 802250 30,574

Hammer 89.7 111.3 89.7 111.3 21.6 21.6 24.08% 24.08% 875000 36,337

Freeze 63.2 80 63.2 80 16.8 16.8 26.58% 26.58% 802250 30,180

Thunder 58.6 78 87.1 110 19.4 22.9 33.11% 26.29% 765750 23,130

Firebird 64.9 72 64.9 72 7.1 7.1 10.94% 10.94% 984500 89,992

Smoky 37.4 44 47.5 56 6.6 8.5 17.65% 17.89% 911750 51,666

Ricochet 28.3 32 33.8 38 3.7 4.2 13.07% 12.43% 984500 75,301

Twins 14.4 17 17.7 21 2.6 3.3 18.06% 18.64% 911750 50,497

 

Sorry that didn't format better, but the data is pretty clear that Thunder and Isida are good M4 investments. Take that with a grain of salt with Thunder though since I'm not sure the M4 is good enough for battle. Isida is a no brainier... A crazy killer.

[MrCheezyPotato 850]

Iv heard m3 thunder is not very good*,but m4 is insane

*not very good for its rank,amount of crystals, and other opponents

The upgrades cost much more money than buying the upgrade and by the time you finished upgrading you would have probably unlocked the desired upgrade on the desired weapon.

True....unless...

 

1. Its m3 and your trying to upgrade to m4

 

 

2. Your upgradeing m1 wasp, cause m2 takes sooo long to come out considering that m1 comes out at (with a kit)

 

 

Or if youv got insane amount of crystals in proportion to your rank/equipment your upgradeing. If you have 50k at then its not bad to upgrade your m0(exept Dictator and maybe a few others, cause i upgraded my Dictator and it cost over 50k for me......

Thunder when camping under the high-side bridge

I wouldn't call that area a "bridge" tbh.

 

I would call it a platform.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Ramp.

 

I hated my first Polygon battle. Now I like the map, except for the screwy CTF setup.

 

So far this MU sale, I have upgraded Ricochet, Viking, Hammer, and Lumberjack. All at M3+ already. Shame they didn't also discount speed ups. Otherwise I'd be going to town. As it is my plan is to let each MU to run for 24 hours, then pay what's left of the speed up and MU again. That way I'll get 3-4 MUs into each of my items and waste a minimum of crystals on speed ups.

Isida micro upgrade is cheap, m4 is very op.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I managed 4 MU steps into my M3 Viking and M3 Ricochet. I think I am somewhere around 20/50 now on both. The step timer was a killer, and because they didn't discount speed ups I probably only realized a 35-40% savings. Still better than paying full price and/or waiting two weeks for the cool downs.

 

Now I'm hoping for an MU sale day or days during the May sale. Time to save up those crystals, boys...

I think the new MU system is badness ciz give to a lot of players (buyers mainly) free M4's and now is hard to get a M4

If i wasnt playing tanki when that update came out, i would basically just think that buyers are just getting free equipment...

 

I agree with the fact that mu-ing is way harder now.....i hate it...before, you could upgrade your Wasp 10 times* and be signifigantly faster than a stock Wasp... now you need to do like 30 mu to get that same speed...

 

 

*What i mean by that is that you could do 10 speed upgrades

You are now forced to spend extra crystals to upgrade the parameters you want along with the ones you DON'T.

Clearly because only one of the attributes really counted- armor on hulls and damage on turrets. Everyone was upgrading only those and seeing great improvements in play.

 

And Tanki also saw too many crystals in circulation. Pretty classic inflation scenario.

Hmm...good point.....though i wish they wernt so positive about it....

Every change is introduced with excitement and glee, no matter what it does to gameplay.

 

Anyone know if there will be an MU sale as a part of big May sale?

Each turret, hull and paint with protections can be upgraded. Thanks to MUs, you don't need to wait until the next modification becomes available to you. In order to start this process, you need to select an item in your garage and click on the "Upgrade" button. One item can have several parameters to upgrade, each of these parameters has several steps of upgrading. A player can select a desired parameter in a special window and upgrade it. Once the process of upgrading has started, the item will be unavailable for some time. However, you can always skip this waiting time by clicking on the "Speed Up" button.

Let's discuss mu here. Post your mu images

its good that we can mu upgrade our hulls and turrets so we can be better . BUT one thing is that the mus are getting more expensive after every mus is that after u buy an m1 , m2, m3 , the mus for people who cannot buy crystals because they are too young to waork or am a student  xannot buy crstals enough for the m1,m2,m3 guns or mus

[Destroy604 0]

Hmm...good point.....though i wish they wernt so positive about it....

so which means they should make sure that they should  lessen the crystals to mus or buy an m1 or m2 or m3

Hello fellow tankers:

 

I am a Lieutenant-Colonel playing with M2 railgun. I have my weapon upgraded at level 20 out of 50. i am pleased to be able to destroy some Hornet M1 and practically all Wasps M1. Only the upgrades are expensive (the 21^st is 7000 crystals) and I am wondering if it is worth to continue upgrading my weapon.  Is the total price of all micro-upgrades inferior to the M3 upgrade price?

 

Thank you for your help,

No, the total stats will be the same as a stock M3 railgun, but it will be like 3 times more expensive to fully mu it than to just buy the M3 turret itself. Trust me, i know this... At i had wasted about 70k total on mu for my equipment...

Actually, when i was doing the mu it wasnt a waste because it was before the big mu update in october.

But its a complete waste to do many mu on stuff in the current system unless its M1 Wasp, M1 Smoky, or an M3 item . I suggest you do maybe 3 more mu so tha you will always one shot a hornet since youv already wasted enough crystals so you might as well go and make it kinda worth it.

No, thats not what i was saying. I was saying that it made a bit of sence where people dient need to spend nearly as many crystals to get nearly the same performance as a real fully mu-ed item.

 

I still do want the mu to go back to something for custamizable :angry:

[999sub_XT 1]

MU hunter is very expensive out of most of the hulls.
