Just curious...what is the most commonly used turret among the warrant officer ranks?

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

Firebird, Rico, or Railgun.

Firebird: First M1
Ricochet: Close to first M1
Railgun: "OMG RAIL M1 IS AWESOME!!!"

[Amagi 1,728]

In CPs, it's Dictator-Twins. That combo is pretty powerful even against Majors.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I have a lower ranked account and I must say, everyone who doesn't have m1 fire has m1 rail. Then, those m1 rails can go on a killstreak by targeting m0 hornets and wasps

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

M1 fire is most common in the WO ranks. There is usually at least one in my ranks

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

Firebird. People who waste crystals on anything and everything can still afford this M1. Because of this, Storm is a screaming deal at 9000 crystals.

[beaku 2,656]

Firebird and Freeze are the common turrets at these ranks, given the early unlock and low price of firebird, and of early M2 unlock of Freeze.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Cheap, true, powerful - not at WO ranks.

not powerful? Seriously ? I have m1 fire with 11 MUs and its awesome with my wasp m1

[Flw 1,625]

Firebird, Twins

[GHOST68INVINCIBLE 152]

Rail & Fire

[ethanisme 1,115]

Def rail or fire m3...prodigi and zues are common too XD

[The-Operator219 1,929]

M3?

Did I miss something? O_O

as sad as it is ... firebird is probably the most common gun on low levels (up to marshal)

 

and it is sad, because fire is a typical NOOBISH gun, I mean 100% noobish (even more than shaft and izida).

This stupid simple weapon develops exactly 0 gaming skills - it needs no aiming, requires no tactics, no global view of the map and team disposition, no battle strategy, no brains ... just spawn - press Forward/Space/Kill - die - respawn and do this again and again and again ...

 

no surprise, that fire is the favourite gun preferred by the multiplying childish plankton that chokes the TO servers lately and suffocates any attempts for a so-so tactical gameplay ...

 

Firebird users = just another example of the downgrade of TO

I have to disagree, it only becomes that skilless if you're too thick to learn some tactics.

I have to disagree - there are NO tactics with firebird ... except for the ONE that I described above

 

firebird = skillless, brainless and dull gameplay ... just what the kids want and that's why you see fire-spitting noobs on every map )))

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Rail

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Rail like usual . That is why Iwant to get tundra

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Although fire is pretty common. And isida is very common once you reach my rank cause you start seeing a lot of stinger and osaka kits along with third lieutenents with isida m2

Get burnt out one too many times?

Invest in Storm. .-.

I have to once again disagree, you HAVE to learn something at that rank or you'll never progress.

Also not to critique your playstyle but... Smoky M1 is terrible. :p

Wait until M2 to bust that baby out.

I 100% agree with this. Smoky is my favorite gun, but I'm not getting it until M2. At M2, it is an unholy terror.

I progressed fairly well through most of the WO ranks on the strength of Keeper (Smoky-Titan). I invested in MUs for Titan so that I could survive long enough to deliver critical hits.

 

Towards the end, and besides the M2 Isidas and M1 Rails, I was seeing a lot of Hammers. The gun is so expensive (M1/M2/M3) and damaging within 4 seconds that buyers seemed to prefer it. Of course, they were always running around with supplies activated, which is condemning stochastic evidence of buying in WO ranks.

At the lower sergeant levels, yes, you could probably get away without turning your turret. But as you go up the ladder, this type of no-neck play will be exposed as a weakness. You should give a try to the turret(s) you hate the most. You might find it a pleasant surprise that the thing you hate the most is the one you might change your mind about. 

 

I used to hate Firebird with a passion. I was a Rail-gunner and almost always camped with it until the WO ranks. I then started using Firebird, first as a farce to see why I hated it so much, then used it as a tool to force myself into learning close in-fighting by maneuvering my hull while turning my turret. Now I LOVE Firebird.

Fire and Smoky

[deadmanrising 715]

Used to be isida and smoky, now its freeze, fire and of course twins

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I just took out an M2 Railgun-Hornet and M1 Hornet-Twins on a Noise DM using only my Firebird and Viking. :p

I'd say it takes SOME skill.

[deadmanrising 715]

I 100% agree with this. Smoky is my favorite gun, but I'm not getting it until M2. At M2, it is an unholy terror.

It does become more useless among general ranks unless your planning on getting m3 early of course
