What to buy? Which is better?

[sam131192 113]

Nah, too many protection paints. But mammy with thunder is better than mammy with shaft. I can stay in a battle for 1 hour and easily reach 150 kills with shaft m2.

Nope, thunder is way better. Shaft may get you one shot kills easily but the frequency won't be consistent.

Thunder on the other hand is more versatile and can be used in most maps except the insanely long ones which anyways are'nt that popular.

True thunder gets nerfed but thats only if you go against emerald or prodigi users on a heavy or med hull. So stay away from kit buyers and you'll be OP with thunder in most maps.

Still, it's an excellent M2 weapon.

I dont like heavy hulls, so Im thinking of getting Hunter m2. I have Hornet, and am getting Viking later. Should I bother to get Hunter, or just have the other two? My m2 turret list is Fire, Freeze, Thunder, Rail, and play on small to medium maps.

Wait and get Viking ;)

Yes, I agree, but I always play large maps like stadium, madness, serphov... And I find shaft extremely OP in those stages.

Shaft OP in Serpuhov? No way. :blink:

Well in TDM when the whole enemy team is hornet m2s, yes it is!

[jayed98 26]

Is hull kit worth it, Is freeze and isida m2 worth it? I can get both (soon) but I do not know the best one. Also How much more Xp Does Score Multiplier Give you?

 

 

Kill normal tank: 10xp                 Kill tank with Score mulitplier: ?

 

Kill normal tank with flag: 20xp                             Kill normal tank with flag with Score multiplier: ?

 

Capture a flag: 5-40xp                Capture a flag with score multiplier? Help me please

[r_S_A_J_A_D0 2]

jayed 98>>>score multi pass will not give you advantage in team battles like ctf or tdm matches! so you will get xp as you already were earning them(no extras) only in dm battle when you kill 1enemy you will get 30% more xp!!!

[r_S_A_J_A_D0 2]

which???? Hornet m2+ tundra paint or just rail m2????

I know I'm off topic but I want to clear this. In TDMs and CTFs you'll get 13XP, although your score at the leaderboard will be 10. However, DMs are not mentioned because at the leaderboard you don't have a column for score, just kills, death and D/L ratio.

^ yep viking m2 is really good in those positions from my experience, it can survive a rail m2 with double power in most cases which means it can also survive shaft m2!  :D

lolo M2 Viking can survive two Rail shots? Not really. I use M2 Viking with Emerald (-10% Rail) and it's hard to stay alive after 2 rail shots. Especially when you come up against Rail users who spent a great deal of crystals on MUing it. But surviving a Shaft M2 is the biggest advantage of Viking over Hunter.

 

Pick two.

Jaguar and Corrosion simply cannot run for much longer.

Ok here is my genuine opinion. Winter and Loam have strong protection against one turret, but minimal protection from the others. Loam has good Firebird protection... but it only has good protection against Firebird. The other three 10% protection won't help. Go with another paint like Inferno, which has decent protection from Freeze and Firebird, which makes it a good attacking paint. I don't really know a situation where a paint with only Firebird protection will help you. Next, Winter. 38% Shaft. Makes a M2 feel like a M0. I'm not sure if you're a Shaft user or not, but let me tell you this. In DM, Winter paint won't really directly protect you from Shaft. It's more like (from the perspective of a Shaft user) "Oh, that Viking has Winter. I won't shoot him, because my shot will be useless". And besides, after getting a reload nerf, usually Shaft users will want to make every shot a kill. However, I know you like playing TDM, and if you play a lot of Serpuhov or Stadium, then Shaft protection will be good. But if you just need a paint to keep your M2 Hunter alive, stick to another paint (like Sandstone). Then, Holhoma. This paint looks awesome and has decent protection. But the combination of paint is where it makes me not recommend it. I mean, Freeze,  Ricochet, Smoky... in what type of situation will this combination of protection help you? See, other paints like Emerald (good for DM) and Inferno (good for attacking) will help you especially in special situations. The only map where this paint could be helpful would be Noise, I guess. But other than that, this paint (IMO) is a bit more recommendable than Loam or Firebird. Last, Savanna. Pretty popular paint, and good enough for me to recommend it. 20% Rail won't help on light hulls, but on heavier hulls, it will (e.g. allowing a Viking to survive two rail shots). And the 40% Smoky will definitely help too. Smoky and Rail protection is good on maps like Bobruisk, where these weapons are prevalent.

 

I dont like heavy hulls, so Im thinking of getting Hunter m2. I have Hornet, and am getting Viking later. Should I bother to get Hunter, or just have the other two? My m2 turret list is Fire, Freeze, Thunder, Rail, and play on small to medium maps.

If you get Hunter M2, make sure you get paint with Shaft protection (You only need 15%, so Sandstone is good). Or else you'll be an easy target for Shafts. M2 Viking is a good buy. It's biggest advantage over Hunter is that you won't have to worry about Shaft paint, although M2 Hunter is definitely a lot faster than Viking. So if you don't mind speed, I recommend you skip Hunter and get Viking. Or, if you want Hunter, skip Viking and you can get Titan later on.

 

which???? Hornet m2+ tundra paint or just rail m2????

Hornet M2 with Tundra won't do any more than Hornet with Forester. You will still die in 2 Rail shots. It will only make a difference if you use it on heavier hulls. I recommend Rail M2 first, and then you can get Hornet M2.

If I were you, I'd buy savanna and loam.

[doduobird 315]

which???? Hornet m2+ tundra paint or just rail m2????

If you have Hornet M1, I'd first get Rail M2 and Tundra. 

[NaVi.markeloff 365]

it's better if you buy titan m2 instead of mammy its faster, it has more power and with two micro upgrades it will have the same hp like mammy. Don't waste your crystals buying paints. First you must upgrade turrents and hulls that you are good at them, then you save up for a nice paint. If you use heavy tanks I recomend you to buy paints against freeze, because once your enemy freezes you, you're dead. So instead of buying elecra I would buy python, and if u micro upgrade python till the end, it will have a 48% protection against freeze, and it will cost you 100k(without speeding he time) thats better than inferno

Well you already have hornet. Hunter and viking, if a sale happens when you are ready for it. You are one rank from hunter, so you might get that faster.

Freeze or tundra? I usually play with wasp

[dardayy 493]

 

 

 

I should probably elaborate:

 

Which of the 4 paints would you recommend for someone who'll be using these combos:

 

Firebird + Hornet

Firebird + Viking

Freeze + Hornet

Freeze + Viking

Thunder + Hornet

Thunder + Viking

Rail + Hornet

Rail + Viking

 

And potentially:

 

Twins + Mammoth

Twins + Viking

 

So, when you look at that and you have the choice of picking two paints, which ones would you pick?

 

 

 OR  OR  OR

 

Pick two.

Even generalissmos use savana, and you can upgrade its anti rail anti smoky later, its one of the best paints, the rest 3 paints are nearly useless.. if freeze catches you then haloma wont help, and the rest of paints are useless, You need protection against the most powerful guns which are smoky, rail and thunder. Savana is very practical until very advanced ranks
