dictator m2 is actually the best overall of all the m2's

 

I have to disagree when you say "both viking m2 and hunter m2 completely wreck dictator m2". This might be true with stock dictator m2, but you have to consider micro upgrades also. With a few cheap micro upgrades, you can boost dictator m2's health a lot. For example, I MU-ed my dictator m2 just 9 times during the holiday sale, which didn't cost me very many crystals. Now, my dictator m2 has 245 hp. That is a 15 hp increase. In comparison, MU-ing viking m2 9 times gives a measly 4.3 hp increase, and MU-ing hunter m2 9 times gives an 8.6 hp increase.

 

The strength of dictator m2 lies in its micro upgrades.

Really? Dictator m2 can wreck viking m3's with half micro upgrades quite easily, the only issue is that it doesn't suit all turrets due to its size, so vikings happen to be more stealthier

Not just stealthier, it's more stable too.

You can definitely feel that when playing with high-recoil turrets.

So, wait, nobody these days takes rank requirements for upgrades into consideration? Viking M2 is available from a higher rank, so obviously it will have better parameters (even though it's just one rank difference, the parameter difference is pretty significant AND obvious).

 

So, goldensentry22, was it really that hard for you to understand this that you needed to make a topic? Not making a fuss or anything, I'm just confused...

dude, i clearly stated this was only for a discussion. its kinda like the wasp/ hornet m3 problem. all i want is a discussion. im not planiing on buy anything. since i already have huner m2.

hmmm yes, but very few people MU stuff more than 10 times, plus wasp m2 when MUed is awesome too, as its speed increases a lot.

So is hunter m2 and mammoth m2, although titan is probs a better choice

[13HATTI 85]

At m2s hunter is better but at m3s Viking Is too strong than Hunter ;)

[tankionline2027 778]

People complaining about the hunters drift..? Its good for dodging shoots or when playing against rails with hunter rail, you just need to know how to combine the drifting+skill. I've played with hunter since wo4 and its my favourite toy, Viking might be better but I just love hunter and won't betray it.

[animal-king 4]

do you guys like my text? did i write my intro well? cause its the first time for me i need some criticism

well done

[nrvus 31]

is there any chance that the hull kit will make another appearance in the garage so that more players will have to make that difficult choice between 4 different M2 hulls when they play?

They won't return it back - they'll say its going to ruin the balance while when it was here they would say no, its all balanced.

[deadmanrising 715]

Viking m2 is better than hunter m2, viking and hunter are equally balanced

[austen_pierce 1,948]

A lot of this comes down to human behavior.

 

Hunter is the plain hull everyone starts out with. Thus everyone is eager to try something new. This Hunter disappears by the time most other M0 (yes I said M0!) hulls unlock. People want the new hotness. It's human nature. I remember seeing a Hunter once in a Warrant Oficer battle, and it took me a while to figure out what it was. Hunter was that rare. Hunter only returns to the game in real numbers through attractive M2 and M3 kits. Vandal in particular and also Redneck, which I bought.

 

And then there is Viking's appeal. Who doesn't want armor right? I bought Titan M0 thinking armor was everything, but got frustrated by the horrible speed. Viking gives the edge on armor while maintaining 'Close enough to Hunter' speed. Do I wish Viking was faster? Sure. Would I rather play with the speedy Wasp or Hornet and explode every three seconds? No!

 

Just look at what tabks are on the battlefield at high ranks. It's predominantly Viking. If you're on small or tiny maps, you see Titan's and Mammoths, since speed isn't an issue. But if you are crystal poor and can only invest in one hull, bet on Viking.

You can last a lot longer than that if you play the light hulls well. Personally, as a Wasp fan, I prefer Hunter over Viking, because the Hunter is way faster and works better with my Firebird M2 for offence. For my strong medium tank I use Firebird M2 + Hunter M2, but I also often use Firebird M2 +  Wasp M1 and Freeze M2 + Wasp M1 for CTF battles where my teammates all have poor tanks for capturing flags.

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

I like both hulls to be quite honest, but Viking over Hunter (whether it be M0, M1, M2 or M3) any day of the week for me.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

My all votes for ViKING

[stawp_thundertime 275]

Having used both hulls for a decent amounts of time, they are pretty balanced.

Allthough i did prefer viking at m2.

[istina_forever_loool 0]

With m2 situation similar to the M4. I was preparing arguments for the M4, then throw.


 
Optimization of examination:
Hunter:

     Speed:
  Hunter quickly, but hilee vikiga. Here the hunter decides to skid. He can not fully rotate. Test it yourself.
     The buildup:
  It gives sweep higher point on the map. Where vik not reach, to be able to perforation of additional intervals hunter.
    The size:
  Hunter hit a little harder, than the Vikings.

viking

    Maneuver
 Unlike the hunter, not a Viking enters like a cow on ice. This is stupid, vstrat flag due to the fact that do not fit into the rotation. With Viking same this will not happen ever. Viking imbalanced.
    Armor
  Viking Long life average.
    Weight
  Defence flags and points. If the enemy's point, it is necessary to wring out as soon as possible from him. Otherwise, the right time is lost. For the safety of the time do not give the enemy to go to the touch point and to capture it. At Hunter it will not work. Hunter is too easy and powerful.
    Power
  It gives push. Push cord with the flag and take away. Vic slower, yes. He is stronger, and maneuvers. That is, when the hunter cuts into the house because of a skid, Vic continues to turn quiet. The power of a decisive factor that made from Viking flagonostsa.

Hunter milkfish so that rotate under fire is not real at all.

 
 
Come to the contrary to the truth !!!

1. Suppose the point of the enemy. Viking / Hunter takes it and begins slow to grab it. And immediately: you rolled to someone. He let him touch you to the point, will slow the seizure, until his death, and in general he will kill you. This is critical in an equal game both commands. It is important to every point. Whether you even on low hp (up 25% health by fullovyh lives body), you have to grab a point and slow the enemy's advancement in a row. Because you intercept it and push it to the point is not the enemy carrying extra point. Time of Your Life against jig is 4 seconds, 6 seconds against the Twins, + 4 more seconds corpse. Whether the enemy Vic, and you - Hunt, he izi tolknёt and you will bring your best efforts to a minimum. Power (standard units.) - Parameter responsible for peretalkivanie other tanks and the time set the maximum speed. The greater the capacity of the tank, the less time and better overclocking turns to move the other tanks. It works in conjunction with the mass.
2. If a hunter is best for Viking flagovozki, it should explain some parameters of its superior options Viking. After all, it is we - not magically magical-mythical nubo game and nubo TO. Sneakers Offline. What helps to take away the flag quickly? This is the speed. At Hunter is by 11.1% more than the Viking. This allows live longer with abduction of the flag? This, of course, the armor. At Viking is 10.5% more than the hunter. That allows you to shift the strand with the flag that my noob DEF it does not allow to take, that is "holding"? It. Of course, power. It is responsible for the acceleration speed and pushing. Vikings it = 1700 and in 1300. Hunter is = Vikings on 30.76923076923077% more than the power of the same at the hunter. On 30.76923076923077% !!! As the Vikings more and lateral acceleration. It is responsible for the lack of skid aki cow on ice in the body. Do more than just a hunter, and only in a straight line speed. The maximum speed (m / s) - the rate to which it is possible to disperse the tank in a straight line. Stop. Lateral acceleration (m / s²) - responsible for the attenuation of the lateral speed. It manifested in the tank in two effects - the lower the value, the greater the drift tank. The higher the value - the more difficult the tank to push to the side. Vikings it = 20, while the hunter is = 14. Conclusion: The Hunter will be too loose and to drift with the abduction of the flag under fire on way too complicated, that will significantly reduce its speed !!! Viking would be the worse only in a straight line, and that when the flag is no defense !!!
3. If the hunter better at Viking DEF, it should explain some parameters of its superior options Viking. Vikings greater power, allowing to push the enemy from the trajectory to the flag. Vikings greater weight that allows you to not give the opponent to take the flag. Vikings more armor that can hold a lot more damage. Weight (standard units.) - Is responsible for the stability of the impact of their own tools for sustainability under the blows of the enemy's guns and to some extent for peretalkivanie other tanks (on the speed of the tank, this parameter has no effect). Speed ​​flagonostsev handy to catch up, but much better to just not give your opponent to take the flag. The buildup - also a good thing. But you can simply block the enemy on the approaches to their flag.

I know viking is a good hull, but ive never been able to use it. I just dont like it. Hunter though, is one of my favorites

[G..Easy 92]

Dont forget other features of hunter/ u can flip ur self if u have smoky or railgun, can u even do that with viking?

[assolik 134]

I love Hunter more but at M2 it's not better :(

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Daily mission rewards have showered me with speed boosts... Well over 500, so MY Viking is always faster than Hunter.
