Whats the best gun for DM

[Pheonix-Smoky 2]

Ok so i was wondering... whats the best gun you can use in a DM battle?? as in whats a good gun for killing tanks

ive heard a lot "its all about skill" but as balanced as they made the game theres gotta be some guns that are better than others at certain modes right? so i wanted to ask this whats a good gun for DMs? i tried striker and i got top place a couple times but my DL wasnt that good so i tried another gun Thunder and i wasnt very good at using it. then i tried smoky but it didnt work well for me and i tried a lot of other guns but my question never really answered itself what gun is best for DM?  but i want some opinions :#

It depends on both Skill AND Map size. Small maps, fire bird with M2 Alt. Medium maps, Thunder/Smoky/Hammer. Large maps. , Railgun or Thunder

In DM it's all about being able to quickly switch targets, so that you're always dealing damage to any potential enemies and it's not a big deal if you waste a shot when someone else kills the enemy tank before you do. So for that, guns like Smoky and Twins are the best. Rico, Thunder (with rapid fire alt) and Vulcan are probably next.

 

My overall list for DM turrets from best to worst is as follows:

1. Twins
2. Smoky
3. Hammer
4. Rico
5. Thunder
6. Vulcan
7. Firebird
8. Freeze
9. Striker
10. (Artillery)
11. Railgun
12. Isida
13. Shaft

I don't play a lot of DM battles and when I do, I only use the first 3 guns. So the above list may be quite inaccurate and far from reality :)

ok not exactly what i was fishing for

[Pheonix-Smoky 2]

ok

[Pheonix-Smoky 2]

well ive tried twins before but it was really bad i lost hardcore .-.

I think Thunder is the best for DMs; if you know how to killsteal effectively with it you can rack up a ton of kills.   At least, that's my DM experience.

[Pheonix-Smoky 2]

ok

Never lost a match when playing with Shaft in any map DM. But I guess this is individual, I see alot of Hammers, Rails and Twins in Poly DM. 

[Maf 32,307]

well ive tried twins before but it was really bad i lost hardcore .-.

I forgot to mention that Twins is much better with the alteration that adds range and increases projectile speed. The default Twins is pretty bad.

[DESTRUKCO 51]

I think shaft is best.

If you have skills and you drug, you can rule it, IMHO

For me, mine is Hammer & Firebird, what's yours?

[Pro_Amani 0]

I think shaft is best.

No, I think not, you will die a lot using Shaft...

[TheRollingSlab 803]

Twins (with both alterations) and Smoky (with the range alteration). Smoky in particular, mounted on a heavy hull in Polygon, is an absolute monster at kill stealing. 

[TheRollingSlab 803]

For you, I would use Ricochet, if you can't handle Smoky or Thunder (the Twins alteration is too expensive for you to buy).

 

Sorry for the double post :ph34r: 

[misafeco 713]

Depends on the map.

Don't you mean twins is better with the stable plasma alteration?

Hammer/ Railgun

 

Those are pretty much the only guns I use in DM lol

[FailArmyGT 210]

Striker and freeze .

Maybe magnum.

[tobias.tichy 119]

for me Thunder+Viking (both M3 with some MU steps)

just camp round the corner,put some mines around me,turn on DD , steal kills and have lots of fun with Thunders splash damage

always between fist 3 places

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Hammer

 

Twins and Smoky are ok but get kill stolen a lot.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Shaft

Smoky is subject to kill-steals.  It takes more than a few shots to kill a medium or heavy hull - especially with protection.

Maybe I need more MUs, but two shots at opponent and it's dead by a rail sniper.

 

And you'd be surprised what Isida can do on a small map like Island now.  Isida not so good when trying to heal & kill (because of the 5 sec attack) but... does way better than before in DM. Devs have reversed it compared to 6 months ago.

 

Firebird with Alt should be moved up. It kills very quickly = fewer loses to kill steals.

Ya'll must be crazy. Shaft is the best by a long way and by that I mean it usually has 15-20 more kills than the second placed tanker.
