What to M1?

[AceAgent 5]

I have enough Crystals to M1 anything in my garage (except for thunder and twins which I'll get next rank). Weapons I'm looking at right now are Rail, Freeze, Rico, and Shaft. Hulls would be Hunter, and either Dictator or Viking. Could someone of higher expertise give me some insight?

oh and btw I already have Firebird, Isida, Smoky, Wasp, and Mammoth on the first modification

I'd suggest that you M1 your favorite combo, or whichever hull/turret you feel most comfortable using and feel like you will continue using well as your Tanki career progresses. That's the most important thing. 

 

If you're really open to trying out new guns, however ,I do have some opinions on a couple of them...I'm not a high-ranked pro but I remember being your rank and so can offer some advice. Hopefully.

 

• M1 Rail is a killer. Until it isn't. I used it almost exclusively throughout WO3 and WO4 and enjoyed very much the "one shot kill" capabilities the turret has against M0 Hornets/Wasps, as you will still encounter many during your battles. It's also a good gun to practice your aim. Past WO4, however, expect to be using 2-3 shots to kill an opponent. Therefore you'll need to habituate yourself to finding cover, perfect your timing, and all those tactical elements. Unless you drug, M1 Rail will eventually appear somewhat weak and on small maps, using it against Vikings with Ricocchet, for example, is not recommended at all. If you're (looking to be) an XP/BP player, of course, get it. 

 

• M1 Smoky might seem weak, but it's not to be underestimated. I bought it during the Halloween sale, and was surprised by how efficiently it worked. The great advantage is the rapid rate of fire. If you go 1v1 with M1 Wasp/M1 Smoky against a M0 Hornet/ M1 Railgun for example, you are almost guaranteed a victory if you can time your shots to disrupt the opponent's aim. Critical shots are also wonderful to see. However it's really only good for mid-range battles.

 

• M1 Firebird is very cheap, but I ended up using it only for a couple of days. Although the lasting damage can be useful, the fuel runs out too fast for me and the turret turns too fast for my liking. I wouldn't recommend it, but some people I know in this game say it's a very good turret. I certainly haven't used it enough to have begun to master it. 

 

• M1 Isida is my current turret. I actually bought it because I was gaining xp too slowly with M1 Rail for my liking. It allows you to gain xp fast while healing teammates in your base (you'll be a popular guy in no time!) and also is surprisingly good at destroying enemies, with the added benefit of self-healing. I'd highly recommend it. Just keep an eye out and make sure you don't run out at the inopportune moment. 

 

As for hulls, I'd recommend M1 Hornet. M1 Wasp is too weak to be really efficient on the battlefield, and the others are a bit too slow for my liking (although I don't have their M1 modifications). 

 

Good luck, and have fun picking out a new combo!

 

 

EDIT: I just re-read your posts and didn't realize you already had some M1 turrets. Just read the M1 Rail part then  :rolleyes:
