What to buy? Which is better?

[SvenArnold 39]

How I reduce my amout of loss, is by always be aware of my surroundings. I tend to use pg up/ pg down a lot, that minimizes surprises. MU-ing stuff is always advisable, however another combo might suit you better. Just MU what you like best!

 

 

Now how can you say that!? Both Hunter and Viking serve an entirely different purpose on the battle field...

I guess I could fully MU clay (and switch to zeus once in a while) and see if it works. Rico has been a little annoying as it sent projectiles into my hiding spot n blow up my viking. What are the different purposes between using a Viking n a hunter on the battlefield? Edited November 9, 2014 by SvenArnold

Viking is the best overall with a balance of speed, health and stability.

I have enough for m1 Firebird but I want to eventually get m1 Ricochet.  Should I get Firebird now or continue saving up for Ricochet?  I have m1 Mammoth and everything else m0 except for Titan.

Firebird doesn 't last long. It 's cheap allright, but it 's also soon weaker than the other weapons you encounter.

So in that case you better save for the Ricochet M1, which is a lot stronger than the Firebird at your rank.

 

Your only M1 for now is the Mammoth and Ricochet will combine with it.

Fairly good combination for CTF-defense and in DeathMatches.

 

 

Personally i would advice you to get the Smoky M1. Not because it 's on sale: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=229648&do=findComment&comment=4049909

though that 's pretty nice for your crystal stack....

 

Nope, it 's a very good weapon to kickstart your further "Tankicarreer".

IMO it 's the best basic gun that you can get that teaches you a lot more than others because it 's easy to handle,

but not that easy that you wouldn 't learn a lot like for example with Twins.

Not that Twins is a bad weapon, but it simply won 't teach you real aiming skills.

 

You also don 't need to learn about using something like Splash damage with Thunder.

Which btw. is a great weapon after your done with the Smoky M1.

And in comparison with the Railgun which is also a great "skill teacher" you can shoot much, much more

because of the fast reload, so your aimingskills will grow very fast!

 

You already had the Smoky M0, well forget about that Smoky: the Smoky M1 is another story and a lot stronger!

It can be fitted on every hull, from Wasp till Mammoth and will always do a good job: the fast rotation

of the turret is very helpful on especially slower heavier hulls.

 

With time you will also learn to use the very useful impact force to shoot your opponents off aim

and rocking/tipping your shots with the Smoky is just awesome!

 

 

Yep, great small gun! And those Criticals... :)

And is awesome in XP battles :)

I am currently using railgun and i was wondering if i should switch to thunder as railgun reloads way to slow for me so i dont want to make the mistake of buying m2 railgun and then never use it.

[doughnut2100 763]

What shall I save for next? I have Railgun, Rico, Hunter, and Hornet m2. My best paint is Tundra. My crystal amount is about 21k and counting.

I have always wanted Firebird m2. As some of you know, though, I only play XP now. I figure if I get Firebird m2, I'll go back to playing other modes as well. The alternative to buying Firebird m2, is to save up for m3 XP later on. If Firebird m2 is achievable along the way, so be it.

Switch to Thunder M2, can 't go wrong with that one.

In your case I would continue XP till Colonel and get the Smoky M2.

Great fun, very engaging gameplay and you can fully use the skills you have developed during playing XP 's.

This is a lot less so with the Firebird IMO.

 

Smoky M2 is great on the Hunter M2 and later on also very nice on the Hornet M3, I assume you will get.

Really, Smoky M2 is all about good aiming skills and that 's why it 's deadly in the hands of a good Railer!

 

Than again if you really like Firebird than ofcourse you should go for it!  :)

I am an active XP player, and I'm getting involved in gold hunting( www.youtube.com/xlxEmoDinoxlx). I don't hunt a lot, so I focused on XP the most, and now I am gaining interest in parkour. I am needy for an M3 hull, but I cannot decide between Hornet M3, or Viking M3. Hornet is essential to XP, and useful for parkour. But if I'm not playing XP, I am almost always in a Deathmatch, where Viking for me is most suitable. I am having trouble over the decision. Hornet or Viking M3?

Rank and get Wasp xD

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm close to ranking, and for Lt. Colonel I will just save (and buy M2 Thunder). But then Colonel comes, and M2 Smoky, M2 Wasp, and M2 Titan unlock. I am definitely getting Wasp, but I can't decide between Smoky or Titan. Titan provides an excellent, strong addition to my garage, where my strongest hull is Hunter. Smoky is outright epic at M2, but so is Titan... and I will be getting M3 Thunder at Brigadier, so would that make Smoky a bit of a waste? Smoky and Thunder are perhaps the two most similar turrets in the game, so would it not be worth it to have both?

My garage is: M2 Hunter, M1 Thunder, M1 Railgun, M1 Ricochet, M1 Firebird, M1 Smoky, M1 Wasp, M1 Dictator, Digital, and Rustle. (useless items excluded :P)

If it has to be between Hornet and Viking: Viking M3

 

In XP you can continue with your Hornet M2. It is a small handicap compared to a Hornet M3 for sure: but it will work.

In time you can still get a M3.

 

In DM 's you will start to suffer against the Viking M3 's and other heavier M3 hulls.

Especially the ones with micro-upgraded damage/HP.

So there 's definitely IMO more need to get a M3 here.

 

That leaves parkour. And I 'm a parkour-noob. I guess you need the HP of an Hornet M3 to survive

some tricks: but I leave this to somebody else.

 

Still, I do feel that the Viking M3 is more essential for you.

Since I'm not a parkour noob, I'll answer that part :P

M2 Hornet should be ok for most parkour, the modification of the weapons are really what matter most due to impact power. IMO you should be using medium hulls for ramps most of the time, and M3 Hornet is heavier than M2 so doing the flying wouldn't have much difference (speed cancels out the weight pretty much).

Hi Trom,

 

Smoky M2 is also great on the Hunter M2 (especially a Hunter M2 with a fairly micro-upgraded HP )

and the Wasp M2.

On the Wasp the Smoky M2 is IMO a bit more effective than the Thunder M2 due to the zero self-damage,

which you can 't always avoid. (I know you will disagree with the latter ;) )

 

Only if you are planning to do a lot of DM 's or CTF-defence I would say get the Titan M2.

It 's made for those jobs IMO and does them very well.

If you continue to play (attack/flagcape) CTF 's and some TDM 's you will be fine with your two hulls.

 

Maybe it 's even possible for you to "skip" the Thunder M2, than first get the Smoky M2 at Colonel

and than ofcourse the Thunder M3 at Brigadier?

If your really lucky and get such a big 70% Thunder discount at that time...

 

My two cents: Smoky

Thank you. Smoky had been an ON and OFF turret for me, meaning I want it, an update comes and then I do not. I only have m0 but it does seem to fit me after Railgun.

I think I just want Firebird for the fun of the splash damage and the torture of the after burn. :lol:

Which is why it's both enjoyable and effective.

But you're right, I should go for Smoky and XP in the future. Firebird can wait.

but I can't take advantage of the sale because of the time zone I live in...

 

Plus, I like Smoky. but Ricochet is my main gun; I use Hunter-Rico for CTF and Viking-Rico for DM.  I plan on getting the Hammer of Thor kit, but I would prefer Hunter.  And anyway, Ricochet has WAY better damage than Smoky.

[fluctuation123 3,435]

what to buy with thunder m2, mammoth m2 or a medium hull like viking or hunter m2. I want to play mainly in Sandbox or polygon DM with this combo.

[denex12 77]

Hello, so I am almost a WO3, and I need a suggestion. I already have the turret kit, so I'm not in need of turrets just yet, but I need a good suggestion on M1 Hunter, M1 Dictator, or M1 Hornet. Statistically wise they are quite similar in terms of armor increase, speed increase, and price. I would like a suggestion with good reasoning behind it, not just "GET M1 DICTATOR" with no reasoning behind it. I need a complete, thorough idea/review of which one to buy.

 

Keep in mind I will buy Tundra, Corrosion, or Desert with it. I'd like suggestions about that too as well, since I will get one of these paints with the hull I buy.

 

Also, which turret should I equip with my hull? I have every M1 besides Shaft and Ricochet (I have the turret kit), so it'd be nice to have a solid combination with good paint.

 

Thanks!

For twins you need an Mamooth/Titan to resist alot .

 

Smoky can be use with all hulls , you shoot , hide , come back shoot run .. etc .

 

So , smoky if you like action game , twins if you like to stay in middle and kill others (but you need a heavy hull for twins)
