What is the best to buy M1 ( Hull and gun )

 

what is the best to buy M2 ( Hull and Gun )

hornet m1 and thunder m1(viking m1 also good)

hornet m2 and freezer m2(thunder m2 when is unlocked)

I will do my best to answer all the current questions, if I miss something I apologize, just ask an dI will get back to you as soon as I can!

 

@FC: I recommend that you just forget about twins, as now it is massively underpowered and you will be extremely dissapointed with the m3 version. Firebird on the other hand still retains much of its power, and it would be a great buy for anyone looking to have a solid close range gun to use (other than freeze)

 

@Halo: I wish I knew what the prize was, but I don't care, 700 crystals is nothing :D You have a very insteresting situation, and I like to work with players that have a similar setup to you. As is seems, you like close range weapons, but are having trouble facing long range turrets. In this case, I urge you strongly to not buy a better paint, but more focus on upgrading your turrets, hulls, or even considering buying a new turret to upgrade! From looking at your garage, you only have titan, which is fairly slow and clumsy (I'm buying m3 :D) so I'd recommend buying an m3 light hull such as hornet or wasp. Hornet is so much cheaper and easier to unlock so sticking with that would be cheap. Stay away from paints, as you unlock much better ones later in the game.

 

@In10: Mammoth + supplies is simply wonderous. Viking is good for battles without supplies, or those that don't have mammoth. Titan is now the 'better' version of mammoth, and awesome with drugs. Since you have mammoth upgraded already, sticking with that won't be a dissapointment as the m2 has whooping health. I have m2 mammoth and am not afraid to use it in my high ranked battles, so that is a great all around choice!

 

@parth: Just save, it's your best bet

 

@123sess: I understand your position on python buddy! Though it's not the most beautiful, it has good protection, and you should stick with it instead of buying other paints. Depending on what guns you have m2, I would almost definitively reccomend hornet - it's cheap, easy to use, and quick to upgrade! And it goes well with any gun. Isida is a great choice if you don't want high K/D ratios, while rail is great fro sniping, and can be used in clan wars.

 

@Stra: Don't upgrade a hull you don't think you will be using later on, stick to hornet and mammoth. You don't necessarily need a mid class hull yet.

 

@Sorinel: Can't go wrong with isida - hornet combination, so get that first. Since you are used to railgun, also get that m3, because then you will long and short range variety. For paints, normally I advise against buying too many, but I instead will tell you to get one, and that is corrosion if your rank allows it. If not reply to me the highest possible paint for your rank and I'll explain to you which is best.

 

@lik: Freeze is awesome, I have m3 and if you stick with it you will not regret it! It's currently my main weapon ;)

 

@tsdd: Savanna for sure. With that massive smoky protection and some rail coverage, smokys will hate you and stay away, whether it be TDM, CTF, DM, or CP!

 

@Xen & Goku: It's not the best of other m2's out there, but you won't be unhappy with the purchase. I have m2 rico, and I use it occasionally, but it cannot stand up to m3's.

 

@fighter: Spark, it has the LEAST spread out protection (only 3 guns) which leaves maximum % protection for those parameters. Those 3 guns are very commonly used between high and low ranks, and I sometimes even use my spark paint in high ranked battles, so it won't be sitting in your garage for no use!

 

Hope I helped, any more questions - just ask.

thank you for your time

@legend: If you have other m3 hulls, get thunder m3, if you don't get viking m3

 

@mohamad: Best m1-m1 combination - wasp rail, Best m2-m2 combination - freeze hornet/wasp

[r_goku8900 45]

i have a last question.i for surely am going to purchase rico m2 but i want to know what is the best hull for it?

[ognjen556_Alt 5]

i have 3 desicions

 

1.M2 Hornet /m2 isida

2.M2Hornet/M2Rico

3.M2Hornet/M2 fire- i don't think i can bjy this cuz i ranked yestrday and im Captain .-.

That's a very tricky question to answer, as it all depends on your playing style. If you like large maps playing ctf, you may want hornet, as it is fast yet more stable than wasp, and has the ability to do parkour. Viking and hunter are for covering players, or heavy attackers. If you don't want to capture all the flags, but prove to be a formidable opponent, this is the way to go. For heavy tank users, or players who like defense, mammoth and titan have both ups and downs, but overall titan is the better choice. Dictator is pretty tall and balenced, and falls into the medium - heavy category somewhere in between viking and titan. Maybe not the best choice.

You can't go wrong with hornet and isida, I have it m3 and so does just about everyone else at my rank. Though it's not my main combination, I know it's a quick way to rank and I will always be able to use it, even at the highest rank

[vanshajwore 324]

hey guys! 

see what plans i have planned and suggest me something if i am wrong/ or i should get something more:

i'll be getting cedar paint this time (it will cost me 21k crystals on sale, i have 72k crystals and i am a thunder + hornet user) and i'll save rest of my crystals for hornet m2 (i use m1 and it rocks!) :)

[Bowzie 64]

@van: That's not a bad plan, one thing to think about is do you really need the paint? If you already have a good paint, there is no need to spend on something more. If you do want to get a paint, you may want to consider something with more evenly distributed protection, say corrosion. Also, as you rank you will be unlocking many more paints, so keep that in mind as the more costly the paint, the more you will probably use it.

Its ability to parkour was removed with the new physics update unfortunately.

Dictate to me why Mammoth M2 is no longer worth it.

[vanshajwore 324]

@Blackoutwarrior: three reasons for cedar:

1. i use thunder, it means that it will give less self damage.

2. i already have alien and carbon and i think i spent a lot of crystals on them.

3. i dont think that tundra will help much as now a m1 rail requires two shots to kill me, and even after tundra it will require two shots only. But a rail m2 can one shot kill me but still i think hornet m2 is not much far and it can hold an m2 rail's shot is some micr upgraded and i can buy roger but i dont see many twins at my battles

 

But thanks for replying, please reply again if you have any other advice/ suggestion

I did not know this, that is quite a shame. I loved doing parkour with that combination.

It's not that mammoth 'isn't worth it' as much as it is, titan is better now. If you compare the two, though they are both heavy tanks, they are completely different beasts. Titan's balence and mammoth's balance is different, speed - different, turning - different, health - different. It all depends on what you are more comfortable using. Some people say mammoth uses supplies better, others say titan does, you really just have to find what you are comfotable with and work with it.

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

Its worth it if you're wanting to play strictly on defense 24/7, or on drugs 24/7, and its only worth it in either case at M3. At M2, Titan towers over it in almost all aspects, making it a weak purchase. If you're impatient and simply can't wait 2 more ranks for Titan, then go ahead, but Titan users will have the advantage over you as soon as you start playing in matches with Colonels in them. Although many people are still using mammoth, because its all they have after the update... a huge number of them will be purchasing M2 titan with their rank-up crystals. 300 hp is nice, but 292 hp + a handful of other clear and obvious benefits put Titan M2 on a higher tier.

 

For an example of comparison, it would be as if they made Hornet keep its HP and everything, except increase the speed by 2.0, making it faster than wasp. There would be little to no reason to purchase Wasp at that point. That is what they have done with Mammoth vs Titan... likely because they want everyone to have to make a new purchase and spend more crystals.

Those are good valid points, I think you have a well thought out plan. There is no reason NOT to get cedar, and after all you are the one who is going to be using the tank, not us!

Another analogy would be to imagine using Mammoth now, as if it's ALWAYS frozen by a freeze user. (Not at the most frozen point, but the part where its starting to wear off.)

 

Mammoth M2:

 

~pic~

 

Titan feels much more free. Its far more comfortable. Titan moves more like the old Mammoth M2 did. Now the new M3 mammoth moves like the old M0 Mammoth... but kinda worse. Honestly if you want a comparison, just go use M0 Titan / M0 mammoth (or M1/M1) and feel it for yourself... the upgrade really doesnt do that much noticeably except the HP increase.

Hmm, okay. Thanks, you two.

DId rico get a buff?\is it better now?

Its better... but its still not very useful at all at M1/M0... it shoots an extra 1-2 shots now, reloading slightly faster. It's not a huge increase, but its enough for those Rico lovers who have stood by its side since day 1 to become competitive again, at least at M2/M3. It will by no means easily grant you a top position in games without a large amount of skill though. I plan on purchasing it at M2, but it is definiately not my main turret, itll be just for fun when I'm bored of my other 3 turrets. At M3, I'll consider using it more full-time.

[liam2rules 62]

go for isida big difference from m1

[ognjen556_Alt 5]

go for isida big difference from m1

-.- every m2 is "a big difference from M2" otherwise it'll be M1~

[Dark-Rim 183]

Ok im completely stuck on this. I was told by a lot of high ranks that I should focus on upgrading one weapon and hull. And now I cant decide. freeze m1 or thunder m1? ( the hull is hornet m1 ). I play small / medium maps like combe , sandbox , noise.

[Irontank1v 836]

freeze m1 if you are not planning to join any team/clan and thunder m1 if you are planning to join team/clan. Freeze is good if you don't drug much and is annoyed by druggers ;)
