Other [Issue 29] Rem's Garage Analysis

[Remaine 4,687]

 

Raphael2, Lhamster, hogree, aojsd, hithere1 and kirby2008 have all taken us on their unique journeys in regards to the progressions (and even regressions) of their garages. Now, it's time for me to do the same.

Some M3s have been purchased before M2s, but all M2s and M3s will be found in their respective stages. Any modifications that I skipped when purchasing (i.e. I didn't have Twins M1 and Twins M2 for over two minutes since I went straight up to M3) will not be taken into account, in light of the fact I never actually used them.

I technically began playing Tanki Online at around November 2011, but it wasn't until February 2nd 2013 that I really got into it. I had become aware of Tanki Online's existence when two ardent players of the game, who also happened to be friends of mine, introduced my whole ICT class to it during free time. We all made accounts and played in battles namely "EGS ONLY"  - it was great fun. However, I eventually forgot about the game and wasn't remade aware of it until my very own cousin took an interest in it; I was aware that I had already made an account, just that at that time, I deemed it best to start fresh, despite the fact I barely made a dent in regards to advancing and ameliorating my initial account - currently, it's still a Corporal.

 

After registering it, I equipped my Firebird M0 and Wasp M0 and was ready to roll. I gradually progressed through the beginner ranks but until reaching the M1 stage, it was a pretty slippery slope. Crystals were intrinsically non-existent and the D/Ls I accumulated reached states of dilapidation; if I recall correctly, the worst D/L I had got was 0.39, which was obtained by raking in 71 kills, whilst dying 178 times. Thankfully, I serendipitously took a gold box, and earned 300 crystals from that battle, only for it to be bombed on Ricochet M0, which was terrible at the time. I was in a rut which I wanted to deem inexorable. This was for on the off-chance I did have crystals, I spent them on turrets and hulls, with the hankering of trying everything out. Freeze M0 is the primary reason as to why I eventually reached the smoother-sailing M1 stage. The freezing effect was irrefutably overpowered, and I did my utmost to be a menace. I also think Shaft M0 warrants credit as well, given that it was fun to snipe people. The economics change took place whilst I was a beginner; it put my cousin under the delusion we received 10 times our crystal amount for no discernible reason. Then he saw the new prices...

 

 

I eventually reached Master Sergeant, the first rank of the M1 stage and I had accumulated around 2,300 crystals. This all took roughly 3-4 months and Tanki Online's 4th birthday was imminent. At the time, in light of the fact I wasn't aware of the festivities, I played as normal. Once the birthday came, a plethora of discounts were implemented during different days of the birthday week. A hull and a turret (or two) went 25% off. I had thought it was relatively exciting. At the time, I had thought 25% isn't enough for me to obtain anything, not to mention I wasn't the rank for the duration of the equipment - therefore, I treated the days as any other. This was until I waltzed into a Silence CTF with Shaft M0, Mammoth M0 on the blue side and a 3000 crystal gold box decided to drop.

 

It was serendipitous, but synchronously effortless. The gold box pretty much dropped right on top of my tank, and with no one else there to stop me, from either side, I could've taken it whilst away from keyboard. This was a great thing - for one, 3000 crystals; it surpasses my whole earnings. It also meant I now had 5,335 crystals. This gold box was obtained on the day Firebird went on sale, which meant I was able to obtain my very first M1 upgrade.

 

8.5/10

 

At the time, Firebird M1 did nothing but dominate. If not for the incredibly low charge at the time, it would've been pretty much perfect. It was especially potent given I got it the very rank it unlocks. Unfortunately, since it did give a bang for the buck, and unlocked early, it was pretty mainstream.

 

I started to work in tandem with my cousin, who had a garage better than my own, using Smoky M1, Mammoth M1 and Mary. We went into Polygon deathmatches together, and did well. This happened quite frequently and I obtained a great 19,000 crystals. Too bad it was splurged on something terrible.

 

2.5/10

 

Honestly horrible. It took forever to take someone out and I was limited to one enemy at a time. Nowadays, that's not too detrimental, but back then, it was significant. I felt completely and utterly useless.

 

Now I had two M1s, I was looking to obtain more, but unfortunately, I didn't obtain my third one until Warrant Officer 3, which only took around a month or so, due to my handy M1 Firebird. I acquainted myself with the forum during that time, so I was able to know what was going on. A 50% on Viking (and Hornet) came by, and I had around 4,953 crystals. Viking M1 at 50% equates to 9650, so it looked bleak. However, in this case, I still gave it a go; I was determined to obtain it. I only had 72 hours, and for the first 24, I earned nothing that warrants mentioning. However, on the Thursday, I went into a 666 Polygon DM and ended up winning it, giving me 4667 crystals. At that point, I was only off by a miniscule 30 crystals, which could've been done in around 2 minutes, but that battle had taken a good four hours. I was completely tuckered out. But all was good, given the 30 crystals could easily be obtained the next day. And given that's exactly what happened, I obtained my third M1.

 

7/10

 

Worth the 4 hour deathmatch to get it? I certainly think so. The extra HP (compared to the Hornet M0) I used before was really useful. The speed wasn't too great but it was bearable.

 

During this period, I also obtained a paint and the two heavy hulls.

 

 

6/10

 

Decent. The Freeze damage decrease was somewhat noticeable, and that was the point of the purchase. At the time, the freezing effect was still really potent - the damage was also pretty impressive - in most cases, I had still been taken out.

 

3.5/10

 

Put them together given that, to me, they're quite similar at this modification. They were both, in brutal terms, appalling. The turning speed and acceleration on both hulls were abhorrent and it didn't really feel like the extra HP was there. It's a darn good thing they were cheap.

 

I went about obtaining more M1s - sales weren't coming so I bought another M1 at full price, which at the time was the most lucrative one yet; namely Freeze M1. I purchased it at Warrant Officer 4.

 

9/10

 

Almost perfection. The more able players with longer range turrets did me justice at times, but other than that, I ceased to see anything wrong with this turret. With the long freezing effect, the fact that it's incredibly potent and used with Viking M1, in short maps, it was no less than domination.

 

I reached Warrant Officer 5 in less than 2 weeks because of it. In light of playing well, I earned around 9,000 crystals, which wasn't great, but it sufficed. A "You decide!" type of turret sale came along; how it worked was that depending on the amount of votes a turret got, the sale went up. Railgun ended up receiving a whopping 65% sale - this meant that it was only 10,990 crystals. I had to earn the rest somehow. I did this by dueling by cousin. I gradually got there:

 

6.5/10

 

It wasn't all that at first; the sale lasted a full 24 hours so pretty much everyone had it but it proved pretty powerful when going in team deathmatches. It netted a lot of points for each hit.

 

The team deathmatches got me quite a bit of crystals; around 7,000 to be a bit more precise. Not long after, a Firebird and Hornet sale (including all the Firebird protected paints) arrived. I had Hornet M1 in my sights. Via playing many team deathmatches and a particular Noise CTF, I earned enough to obtain Hornet M1.

 

7/10

 

Above average, all-in-all. It did provide me with my third-highest reward ever, not long after buying it:

 

 

Another four hour game. An interesting tidbit regarding this picture; I died 845 times in this game and this is the contemporary EN Tanki Online World Record for "Most deaths". I still have this record today which means it's been over a year. Should I be proud of holding that record that long or slump down in shame due to what the record is for?

 

But back to the Hornet itself, it's one that worked well with all my turrets, which was a plus, certainly. The lack of armour was felt at times, however.

 

Halloween came and we received a 13% sale, oh joy! Due to the fact the sale was so miniscule, I decided to buy Hunter M1 just two days before:

 

7.5/10

 

A great mix of speed, power, and armour and it too worked well with all my turrets. I felt like I could play anywhere. (As in, midfielder, defender, attacker, etc). I've had to knock it down a bit though, given that the acceleration was awful.

 

I went into a Fire-Wasp with people who had M2/M3 Firebird and I was aware that they would obliterate my Wasp M0 - I bought Wasp M1 full price just so I could hold my own; this was just three days before the 25% on all hulls; I happened to purchase Hornet M2 that fateful Friday:

 

5/10

 

As a result, it held its own in that Fire-Wasp, which was the sole purpose of buying it. However, it had no use anywhere else.

 

That's not the only piece of equipment I purchased for the purpose of Fire-Wasp though:

 

 

7.5/10

 

I cannot refute its utility. Immediately after buying it, I had the mindset it was going to be useless, but in actual fact, it proved to be just the opposite. It functioned pretty great given the duty I gave it.

 

 

6/10

 

Another full price purchase (as you can see, I wasn't a patient person then and even now) just the sake of obtaining Smoky protection. Critical hits were more profound in damage back when I bought this, and it enabled my M1 Hornet to survive a critical hit even after being damaged by a tad, so I guess to some extent, it's really good. However, the other protections were plain useless. Perhaps I'm being too harsh on the critique of this paint?

 

 

4/10

 

Not too shabby, in regards to looks; however, that's the only thing it has going for it, even to this day. It was useless; I found I was still Isida fodder. I did not buy this paint full price, thankfully.

M2 time; with the rut I was in, I never thought I would make it this far. I was Third Lieutenant and the crystals required for M2s seemed unthinkable, at the time. I only had 18,357 crystals and a 50% sale for Freeze and Wasp came up. Despite my successful attempts at just about reaching the crystals required for upgrades in the past, I didn't think I was capable of earning 10,000 crystals in 48 hours. However, that very day, Issue 16 of the newspaper came out, which consisted of the results of a contest. Nobody won the grand prize but I, along with four other people didn't exactly lose. The prize reached my wallet straight away, which brang me up to 28,357 crystals which meant I only needed around 3,000 crystals tops to obtain Freeze M2; I immediately sought after gaining the crystals needed and that I did:

 

7/10

 

Whilst still performing very well on the field, the increase in damage back then was only +4; not very noticeable. However, the increase in turning speed made itself known to me, making it easier for me to take out enemies.

 

Within 48 hours of obtaining my first M2, I ranked up to Second Lieutenant whilst in a deathmatch with haider19505, now known as . He used M2 Firebird, M2 Hornet and Python at the time. Anyways, I was now able to get Hornet M2. A 25% sale came up and I had accumulated a good 62,000 crystals from winning contests, sniping with Railgun, and doing well in deathmatches with Freeze. At this point, it seemed somewhat easier to get crystals. I was ready and pumped for my Hornet M2, especially given that, for once, I didn't have to earn anything to get it. Friday came by and it was mine. @JonathanBernatowicz, a good friend of mine, also obtained it this day.

 

7.5/10

 

The difference between 115 and 138 in-battle didn't seem too discernible at first. But upon using it, I found it enabled me to survive that extra shot here and there. Not to mention, when equipped with Freeze, it looked stunning.

 

A paint I bought during this period (at full price), via suggestion of @JonathanBernatowicz.

 

 

8.5/10

 

For one, it's a beautiful looking paint. In addition to this, it made the difference when facing Freeze and Firebird - I didn't think it'd be too different when facing Firebirds but I found I was in the arena a lot longer before the afterburn got me. The Thunder protection is practically non-existent but I'll let that slip by, given it has traits that redeem that.

 

Now, depending on the mode, I either used Freeze-Hornet-Jaguar or Railgun-Hornet-Jaguar. I had obtained around 20,000 crystals since the purchase of Jaguar. It came to my attention Tanki Online had won a Runet Prize and that we were going to be given crystals for it. Also, a 50% sale on turrets came about. I had ranked to Captain at this point. With Railgun M2 being at around 48,000 crystals half price, I knew I wasn't going to earn it - however, not all hope was lost at that point. I entered a Deja Vu Facebook contest with what I thought was a pretty good entry, personally. I ended up placing second, which meant I won 40,000 crystals along with other goodies. Of course, this also meant Railgun M2 was to be mine on that Friday.

6.5/10

 

Not all that, if I'm honest. I looked forward to being able to take out M1 Hornets in one-shot with it, but that didn't happen, in most cases. On the bright side, it meant I was able to rack up more points in team deathmatches.

 

I wasn't able to play for a while due to my laptop breaking down. Whilst being unable to play, the release of the Update 208 came into Tanki Online; the added bonus being that we all got crystals for ranks. I was a Major at the time, so I received 89,000 crystals - and along with the small amount of crystals I was able to get before my laptop was fixed and the crystals from the "Where have I seen that?" contest, I had over 110,000 crystals. How great was that? When my laptop was back in my possession, I earned around 20,000 crystals which gave me 131,654 crystals overall. The New Years' sale (which meant 50% off everything) arrived and I splashed out, somewhat.

8/10

 

Wonderful. It took a bit to get it and it was verily worth it! The damage increase was great, and the afterburn was just as good - it didn't take much charge to take enemies out.

9.5/10

 

This is what truly made Thunder one of my favourite turrets - it performed even better in team deathmatches than Railgun, and it performed well pretty much all other types of battle. With Double Damage, 2 shots and the duration of hulls were out. Unfortunately, many Thunder-resistant paints were around. However, it wasn't really detrimental to my gameplay with it.

 

Whilst the sale was on, the "Make a Christmas Tree" (or something of the sort) finished. The prize for getting all toys was five times your crystal bonus. Therefore, for the sake of it, I bought this paint.

 

 

4.5/10

 

I found this paint was rather underwhelming - I don't really have anymore to say about it.

 

Within two weeks of the Christmas sale passing by, I earned around 77,000 crystals by going into team deathmatches with Thunder M2; I obtained respectable rewards almost every time. In addition to this, I ranked so that bagged me 14,000 crystals. I realised I could buy Mammoth M2, and it was incredibly tempting. I eventually succumbed to the temptation and bought it, only for a 25% sale on hulls to be announced the very day after. Either way, was the purchase lucrative?

 

2/10

 

It was absolutely not. It was really slow, and it felt like it had less than 300 HP. This was also when Mammoth could push practically anything, as well. If I'd obtained it after, I casually would have given it 0, no problem. Fortunately, it posed relatively useful in Island CTF/CPs.

 

I still had Thunder M2 to use, and so I went back to my TDM'ing regime, and with the help of some more contests and another rank up, I got back up to 100,000 crystals, the last 1000 being obtained via a gold box I stole from a red player in a Silence CTF. It's quite obvious what I bought full price at this point.

 

8.5/10

 

Although I unfortunately had to wait longer to obtain this, due to my Mammoth crisis, once I eventually got it, Viking M2 was nothing short of magnificent. The lack of height was felt, but this is a problem all modifications of Viking have, to this day. Aside from that, it's a great mix of speed, and health points.

 

After buying Viking, I didn't buy a single thing until around Major General, until I purchased Freeze M3 full price, the critique of which can be seen below. I accumulated 222,033 crystals - I still had a good 50,000 crystals after buying Freeze, and upon reaching around 100,000 crystals again, I bought yet another thing at full price (I think I have a problem)

 

8/10

 

Now this is a heavy hull that's made to impress. Especially useful in smaller maps (not just Island), it wasn't too slow, although the acceleration wasn't up to scratch. But when using it, I didn't move much anyways, thus it wasn't too much of a problem. I recall a great feat in the presence of @jusmaly and @BATMAN808 - these two helped me maintain the lead. @Phoenix-Warbird (on the other side) was also present. Won a good 4,000 crystals for a 45 minute battle. Great, or great?

 

Tanki Online's birthday came up, and I had a respectable amount of crystals; here's what I spent it on.

9/10

 

I used this turret to the extent I annoyed M3 tanks with it, and that's not just light hulls. Shaft has quickly become my favourite turret and nowadays, I look to join battles where I can utilize it. I never used M1 Shaft but the damage increase is incredibly high, nonetheless. Despite getting it at a rather late Lieutenant General, it still did very well, and I was looking forward to getting M3 the day I bought it.

 

 

8/10

 

Another late purchase, when looking at the rank it unlocks, but it still performed pretty well. Railguns only tickled my heavy hull, and didn't do too much to my medium hull. The Shaft protection enabled me to just about survive what would have been shots that took me out.

 

Ages later, a 50% sale came up on Ricochet, since it had just become rather overpowered, so I joined the bandwagon of Ricochet users.

5/10

 

It hit pretty hard, initially. However, after around 48 hours, I went back to Freeze. I guess I deemed it as boring.

 

Less than a month ago, a 31% sale on everything came about. I bought M2 Smoky, since I knew I was going to M3 it later.

7/10

 

It feels like you're using an M3 when using it. The rapid-fire and the potency of the impact force put opponents in a daze - it's only effective up short though; nevertheless, I'm looking forward to M3.

[Remaine 4,687]

 

I've reached the final stage (excluding M3.75 or M4). Unlike with M2s, I thought I'd be okay in regards to raking in crystals, given I had nearly 150,000 crystals once reaching Brigadier. At this time, Thunder M3 was my favourite, so when I got enough to buy it full price, I was very tempted. However, I resisted. But then I ranked up to Major General and unlocked Freeze, another favourite of mine. Did I succumb to the temptation? You bet.

 

8.5/10

 

Quality; the damage increase was more significant this time round. To be fair, it probably wasn't worth 171,500 crystals but I couldn't help myself - I can't help myself, even now.

 

A sale came up on hulls, which was 50%. I had 80,000 crystals, so I had just enough.

 

 

7/10

 

It looks awesome - I imagine very little people think otherwise. When M3'ing it, it had only 159 HP which isn't great. Fortunately, the first micro-upgrade brought it back to 166 HP. It then got reverted back to the default HP amount which overall upped my HP; it was good to see. When on Nitro, it can be quite annoying.

 

On Tanki Online's birthday, I planned to buy Viking M3 and Loam - but I changed my mind and bought Thunder M3, Shaft M2 and Digital instead.

 

6.5/10

 

When buying this, the damage had just decreased profoundly, although it meant a better reload time. I wasn't too accustomed to this - it wasn't the Thunder I used to look forward to using everyday. But that aside, it was quite okay when in the right spot.

 

A 25% sale on hulls came about and I had 149,000 crystals. I bought it before I went on a short break to Great Yarmouth. I played one battle with it before my departure.

 

7.5/10

 

Perhaps it's not worth what I paid for it, due to the lack of health increase; however, I still think it's a solid hull to use. Perhaps I won't feel the same when I eventually get Hunter M3?

 

After purchasing Viking M3 at Lieutenant General, I bought nothing for around 3 months - I nearly got to 400,000 crystals. Unfortunately, I didn't quite get there, but the amount I had was more than enough for 3 month's work. @Xenophobia had even more before spending it on the M3 Medium kit. I purchased three things.

 

 

8/10

 

I've grown quickly accustomed to this paint. It looks good, especially with Thunder-Viking and the presence of Smokies, when used on a heavy hull, aren't really felt.

6.5/10

 

@Thekillerpenguin, @Chameleos and all said I should've gotten Smoky instead of Twins; perhaps they were right? In all honesty, once I got used to it, it was okay, but when I first got it, I was quite underwhelmed.

9.5/10

 

Perhaps a rather high rating, but it's come out of my deep love for Shaft. I think it's going to be my first M4.

 

I saved up a lot of crystals - I was planning to use my earnings for Smoky, but I suddenly bought it in an XP with @JJ410 and to their befuddlement.

 

"Since when did you have M3 Rail?"

"Didn't Rem have M2 Rail a minute ago?"

5/10

 

It was purchased only for the purpose of having a M3/M3 combo in XP - I don't plan to use it anywhere else

 

Finally, during the celebrations of the Runet Prize, during the hull sale, I nabbed myself my eighth M3:

 

7.5/10

 

More useful at this modification - it's incredible when equipped with Railgun, which makes for a M3/M3 BP combo. I find a BP combo is more effective than XP. This was the primary reason as to why I bought it, but I do use it in normal battles as well, where speed proves useful. It feels as though it's lacking in HP at some points, however. I imagine that eventually, this can be rectified with some microupgrades.

 

 

Now you're aware of where I'm currently at, what are the purchases I'm planning to make whether imminently or long-term?

 

Imminently:

 

My rank is a barrier to equipment, and in light of the fact I'm not going to rank anytime soon, chances are these three are going to be the ones I'm going to get, on the proviso all goes to plan. I've bared in mind that respectable sales on these three pieces of equipment may come beforehand. I'd like Smoky given that even M2 can dominate at the pinnacle of ranks. I'm also prepared to give Isida another chance, after its underwhelming performance at M1 since when asking friends, the consensus is that M3 Isida is actually quite good. I've also considered buying another paint, but I'm not too sure on which one just yet, hence why no paints are listed here.

 

In the long-term:

 

Me ranking to Field Marshal is eventual and I'll obtain Hunter M3 and Titan M3 as soon as I can, sale or not. I've found both these hulls to be incredibly effective at lower modifications, and so I trust they'll do the same at the highest possible modification. I've also picked Firebird and Ricochet, primarily for the sake of having all turrets M3, but it's also because I feel they can perform well at these modifications. At the minute, after obtaining all of these, I will move onto microupgrades; perhaps I'll buy M3 Dictator on the way.

 

I guess this is living proof that despite making many bad decisions, with determination, you can get out it. In any case, thanks for reading. Feel free to comment below - all thoughts written in context are appreciated!

[fahim_the_boss 1,519]

At my m1 place my story was similar to you, at first I bought firebird m1 on full price. I thought that it might be good and the people who had bought it was annoying me with that , but to be honest, I found that very useful. It was OP'ed with m0's and it was  the cheapest gun and to say at least, the afterburn affect was amazing.. And later on, I bought XP combo as GoldRoyck suggest me to buy and from then.. I wanted to become pro xp player, and in my rank I beated almost everyone and I found these pro's who I had never beaten :- @Jovanos @ShootingStarz These are the main pro's even tho I won a lot of times with random peoples , didn't put it in my duelist page.

Pretty good article rem m8y m8

Cool remy.

[fluctuation123 3,435]

I simply don't have enough praise for this article Remaine! It is probably the most useful article among the many good articles of this newapaper, ever; at least to me. You saved a lot of crystals of me. I am currently in the M2 stage and am torn between mammoth and viking m2. But this article decided it for me. I also somehow  suspected mammoth m2, but was thinking about its health and low price at m2. 

 

A couple of questions:

 

1) Why no Dictator? Don't you catch those golds? Sould I get one?

 

2) What about Hunter at m2? Ideas?

 

Thank you anyway! :)

Glad to hear that my own journey has assisted you on your own.

To be honest, I've never been a fan of Dictator. I won't refute its utility, given that it's quite good, in other hands. However, the shape, for me, is a major deterrent.

I left Hunter at M1 because I knew I was going to skip M2 to buy Hunter M3 later on. Therefore, I can only imagine how well M2 will do, which won't help you at all. I'd suggest looking for more opinions regarding that.

^ For a continuation to that: I have Hunter m2, and it is perfect. :wub: Everyone has their preferences, but at least for me, I just love it. You have the stability, the health, and the speed, a well rounder indeed. Besides that, the shape/looks (not too bulky, and not too weird looking). So, if you have Hunter m1, have played with it a while, and enjoy using it, go for it! I sure did not regret it!

 

Also, nice articles Rem! I remember many of your buys, I was there much of your journey. I especially recall when you were barely using Viking m1 in a death-match. I believe you were using it along with Freeze m1, at WO5. Anyway, I was strolling around at WO1, with Fire m1 and hornet m0. :lol: The match was pretty lengthy, but it was alright. Just a little memory.

I personally just LOVE thunder and isida thunder is great beacause it does lots of damage and isida because it does so well up close (you have to try to dodge around them while you are attacking them) I've wanted to get M1 freeze but i want to get M1 isida when i level up. I only have M1 mammoth M1 hornet and M1 viking and by far hornet and viking are the best. Mammoth just doesn't work for me

I simply don't have enough praise for this article Remaine! It is probably the most useful article among the many good articles of this newapaper, ever; at least to me. You saved a lot of crystals of me. I am currently in the M2 stage and am torn between mammoth and viking m2. But this article decided it for me. I also somehow  suspected mammoth m2, but was thinking about its health and low price at m2. 

 

A couple of questions:

 

1) Why no Dictator? Don't you catch those golds? Sould I get one?

 

2) What about Hunter at m2? Ideas?

 

Thank you anyway! :)  

M2 Hunter is currently my only M2 Hull... and it is BEAUTIFUL! It's just like a sample of M3... you will not regret it, even if you bought it full price!

could you explain a little bit more how you didn't like m3 thunder?

There was a rebalance which lowered the damage of Thunder - therefore, it wasn't all that when I got it.
