What to buy? Which is better?

[Irontank1v 836]

So it all comes down to Thunder, or Smoky! :P

Im stuck in same thing. What i realized is both turrets are really good just go for the one you like to play with.

Rail or Rico Or thunder i am good at these three but which one to get......

Plz reply to this

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

What hull are you using? Surely you do not want to pair up Rico with Wasp. . .especially since when Physics arrive, Wasp/Rico can't parkour anymore.

[doughnut2100 763]

Hows m1 rico/hunter sound? :D might get rico this sunday.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Ricochet/Hunter sounds decent. :P

 

I think I'm going for Thunder. :D M2!

 

Then I'll have 34,000 Crystals left. . .. can't buy anything else except M1 my Shaft.. . . . .I feel the urge! xD

 

Or I'm going to just save for M2 Thunder / M2 Wasp. I find Wasp/Smoky a difficult and frustrating combo to use, but Thunder/Wasp is pure beauty.

Hey,tomorrow is sale,what to upgrade? Freeze or Riochet ?

[Remaine 4,687]

Alright, people, here's my scenario:

On Sunday, I'll be able to get Railgun M2 and Twins M1 due to this Runet Prize thingy - congratz to TO on winning that btw

 

This puts me waaaaaay ahead of plan - I never expected to get Rail M2 at Captain.

 

As you may have distinguished from what I previously said, I've added Twins to my plan.

 

So, the question is not "Firebird M2 next or Viking M2 next?" but the question now is:

 

After Firebird M2, should I get Twins M2 or Viking M2 FIRST?

 

I plan to get Firebird M2 on the NY sale hence why I've not included it in the question.

twins cuz its dynamic plus the power stays the same only rate of fire changes

Hey, have you seen splitterpoints video about Smoky + wasp that he recently uploaded? It makes Smoky look pretty appealing haha. If you havent seen it, check it out. I think the main problem with thunder though, is that its very hard to kill druggers with it. When a titan/mammy drugger charges at your base, they (if they're smart) will time their health pack for when they're pretty low on HP so they get the most use out of it. At that point, you need a large damage spike to throw them off. (Shaft or Smoky... almost railgun - but isnt a big enough spike) I'm in the same boat that you are, I was strongly considering trying to devote 2 months of my life for like 8 hours a day, grinding XP to reach your rank for Smoky/Wasp/Titan, but 140k xp for someone like me who plays more casually is just absolutely insane lol. As for killing multiple tanks with it at once... unless you get a flood of crits all at once, you can't really count on it. Sometimes you will get lucky, and other times it will feel like FOREVER since you've critted.

 

Honestly, I think you could do very well with shaft. You don't always have to be stuck at the base, as long as you're able to aim (safely) at the exits of your base - or in Silence, keep your eye out for an attacker, and if you need to get to the base asap for defense, just jump off the edge and respawn (with shafts 3 second charge, pop a double power if needed, and that drugger is done for.) I dont think shaft should be paired with mammoth M2 though. It wouldnt be bad at the moment, but as soon as those physics come, you'll be using shaft like a railgun. I've just purchased Hunter M2 to use it with Shaft M2 which ill buy Sunday. I think shaft will even work great with wasp. Imagine facing a close range user with shaft... hes charging you, charge up, fire, run for your life (with shaft u can distance yourself from them easily) once you have a 3 second lead, turn around and charge up, bam dead. Or you can simply run from the start till someone else gets his attention. With any other slower hull though you could easily be dead. I believe you can make shaft work in almost all maps too. It works amazingly in Farm, a fun small popular map.

 

As for thunder... its the only turret I have at M0. All others are M1/M2 , and I REALLY regret this. Its my favorite turret to have fun with, using ground shots and wall shots and getting multiple kills...I use it on my alt account as M0 with wasp. I try to master its ability to shoot at the ground from even long distances, say someone is 50 meters away, and is hiding behind the corner of a building, if you just accelerate and brake and time your shot right, you can hit the ground right next to them. Even in Combe, if they're right up against their base's front little protected wall, and shooting the back wall wont hurt them, you can shoot at the ground on both sides, and the splash damage will do its magic. Sadly, it seems 90% of thunder users don't know how to use it to the best of its ability... and many use it on heavy hulls, where its impossible to do as many manuevers with ground shots and other tactics. I'd enjoy Thunder in NSB's, on a medium or light hull, but past the M1 point (where it rules over all during the WO-Lieutenant ranks) I can't get myself to buy it since its not only very expensive, but seems far less effective. I've read alot in the Lets Discuss Thunder! Section, and it seems that it requires extra skill just to 'match' other turrets. Im not sure if I agree with that, but I've heard it alot lol.

 

I fear that paint protections may hinder smokys effectiveness in the higher ranks. Potentially shaft may become the same. I hope it doesnt happen with shaft though. I doubt we'll see too many shaft protections in any maps besides Monte Carlo/Stadium/etc.

 

Hope some of that helps you make the right choice.

@Brandybabyxx: True, druggers everywhere! It's same as Test server now.

 

But I see more Needle and Savannah now also. xD

 

-sigh- This is tough.

 

I think Thunder is more of a team player. Doesn't do well by itself due to enemy druggers, but it's amazingly good support.

 

Smoky could hold its own with the Critical and all- but the paints!

 

Maybe I'll re-think this. . Not sure. At least sale's on Sunday. I have time to think.

[Irontank1v 836]

Hey,tomorrow is sale,what to upgrade? Freeze or Riochet ?

I say ricochet, as after new physics freeze effect will be decreased and rico will get some power

After Firebird M2, should I get Twins M2 or Viking M2 FIRST?

Get twins m2 first

[MTAOTHE 19]

In the sale i will buy m2 islda i will still have 60k what do you sugest me to do? Wait till rank up and buy hornet(i will buy it whatever i do). Or buy another gun? And which if yes

[StrahinjA_FDL-PFC 0]

[Irontank1v 836]

[SuperKeb 5]

[StrahinjA_FDL-PFC 0]

[MisterGeneral 692]

i have smoky but i dont like shaft i will upgrade railgun and what else upgrade :)! ??

Well, stick to upgrading one weapon instead of multiple guns. 

[adider 1]

What is better ? Viking M1 or Titan M1 with shaft

[dardayy 493]

just 3000 scores and i will be a marshal, and i saved crystals exactly to go with smoky m3

But am too much hesitant, 

Please answer professionally 

shall i go for twins m3 or smoky m3? 

I already have rail m3, shaft m3, isida m3, thunder m3 :(

and i know the new physics of thunder sucks as i tested them myself even with the MUs. 

I didn't like the new physics and MUs of rail, nor isida, and certainly not thunder. Despite my team call me one of the best skillful thunder's player. 

Just shaft i found its new physics "reload in 3 seconds" fabulous ! 

I suggest you don't buy smoky nor twins, since you will waste all your crystals, instead of that keep them for the MUs, a lot of people are just getting too seduced by the 50% discount forgetting how much crystals they will be needing for their current m3 items

[MisterGeneral 692]

What is better ? Viking M1 or Titan M1 with shaft

The heavier, the better. 

[Finesse 968]

The heavier, the better. 

Basically Mammoth. But keeping  new physics in mind it is Titan.
