What to buy? Which is better?

[JPBTanker 1]

Imo, you don't really need it with your garage :) viking is a great buy though if you want something. Other than that, save your pot for m3s!

Thx for your help

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Can you guys help me, christmas is coming up and theres bound to be a sale, so i was wondering if I should buy twins m2. Currently my twins is still at m0 and its quite expensive for a turret so should I buy it or not.

 

Current m2 turrets: Freeze, Thunder, Isida

Current M2 hulls: Dictator, Hornet

 

Playstyle: All-rounder CTF (Both attack and defense)

No i got twins and i rarely use it

Get fire instead as i still use it and it is useful for atttack and defence

You could also get a hull like Viking, Titan or Wasp (providing you get to colonel)

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Thank you for your suggestions. I've tried a friend's account with M2 Hornet and M2 Isida, but I'm not really getting the hang of it. I mainly do CTF battles as those are my favourite.

 

The M2 Hornet is easily killed by a railgun, and I find the twin fire annoying me a lot. It's really fast and I was able to outrun the opponent while they were shooting at me, so I do think it's a pretty good hull. It's easily taken down by long distance shooting tanks though and that is annoying when you keep getting shot down without knowing where the fire was from.

 

So well, is the lack of strength because of my inexperience? Maybe when I play more, i'll be able to gain some skills on manipulating my tank. Because I'm not sure about the speed of a M2/3 hunter, if anyone has any experience with it?

 

I did try out viking for a while, the lack of speed annoyed me a lot. I have heard that Wasp is a good M1 to use but in terms of a long run tank would you suggest that?

 

Of course, like all newbies, I'm pretty short on crystals. I've heard people talking about some sort of sales and I was wondering if someone could enlighten me? Maybe then I'll get hornet and really try everything with people of my group and choose my favourite ;D

If you need there are some great paints with rail protection. I would suggest Tundra.

I use digital and when using m3 Hornet an it a rail m3 (provided it hasn't micro upgraded a lot) cant 1 hit me

Buying is good at your rank as it gives you a advantage over the rest and provided you keep that advantage it will last for a long time

Viking is slow but at m2-m3 the speed to health ratio is amazing so it would be a good investment 

 

Good Luck :)

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Hi everyone I need your suggestion for upcoming sale I've M2 isda and M2 thunder with M2 hornet and M1 viking with tundra paint so now I want to ask what should I do on upcoming sale here are the options I'd have on sale

 

1. buy M2 firebird <--- Its a really great weapon so would reccomend 110%. Works great with Hornet

2. buy cedar paint <--- Nah Tundra is great as it is so save for another turret/hull

3. buy rodger paint  <--- Same as above

4. buy m2 fire with cedar or rodger paint <--- Just Turret

5. save more and buy m2 twins (but after purchasing m2 twins I'd have very low amount of crystals left so I'd have to save up from very low amount that may cause problem at the time of m3 items) <--- I got m2 twins and a never use it. Unless you have a decent heavy hull (which you don't) and use twins a lot it isnt that good

6. keep saving up for m3 paints and items <--- Get a few more m2s then start saving as isida loses its value throughout the m2 stages

 

Please I need more than 1 answers so I could decide the best option.

Good Luck :)

HORnet M2, isiDa M2 and tundra.

Only about 4,000 more Exp. to rank up! I think I should be able to rank up before Christmas. . . .

But anyways, which path should I choose?

 

1. Hornet M3

• a. Freeze M3 and a good paint for my next rank. Highest possible paints are Irbis and Emerald when I rank.
• b. Ricochet M2 (Must preserve Crystals for M3 Ricochet, or M3 Railgun, etc.)
• c. Twins M2

2. Save my Crystals for Viking M3 which is two ranks away. . .

 

3. Save my Crystals to see if I like the new turrets.

 

If option 1, choose a, b, or c to accompany it.

 

Extra information: I own Smoky M2, Isida M3, Firebird M2, Thunder M1, Railgun M2, Twins M1, and Freeze M3 already. I own M2 Wasp, M2 Mammoth, and M1 Viking already. My best paint to this point is Digital unless I get Irbis or Emerald when I rank.

 

240,000 crystals.

About Paints ...

 

Picasso or Clay ?

 

In the future i will make a Full MU on one of these , but idk on which one .

Actually im not higher than you, but i have an idea  :)

Probably you use Wasp M2 most of the time right? And you don't have any good medium hull?

And you have these guns.

2 and 3. Wait possible Christmas, and if you can get "Liuetenant General", you can buy a new gun with viking.

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

 

 

Asked this before and didn 't get any answers. Not completely to my surprise I admit, it 's pretty hardcore stuff.

Still I try it one more time. you never know... :)

 

At my next rank up and following sale (Christmas I guess) I will be getting the Hornet M3.  edit: oh! yeah!

 

This will be my only fighting hull on this account till the Hunter M3.

My question is about micro-upgrading ánd how to keep the drift as low as possible.

 

Damage will be fully micro-upgraded in time.

Weight will also be micro-upgraded a long shot.

 

My feeling is that I won 't MU much or more likely even nothing at the Turning Speed.

I 'm mounting fast rotating turrets: Thunder M3 and Smoky M2

plus I don 't care about which direction I drive my hull.

 

First question: does a lower Turning Speed reduce drifting or is there no correlation with drifting at all?

 

Two micro-upgrades are than left now: Top Speed and Acceleration.

 

How do these two affect drifting? I can imagine that a higher Top Speed will increase drifting.

A basic Hornet M3 outruns already everything expect Wasps and fellow Hornets

so if a non micro-upgraded Top Speed recuces drifting I might keep it like it is.

 

Drifting has a lot (all) to do with Lateral Acceleration, from the Wiki:

"Lateral acceleration (m/sec²) — responsible for damping of lateral speed.

The less this parameter is, the easier a tank can drift. The higher it is, the more difficult it is for a tank to move sideways."

 

Knowing this you should try to increase the lateral accelaration for less drift:

 

Is this lateral accelaration included in the overal acceleration?

 

Or is it "hidden" somewhere else and does the lateral acceleration increase when you

for example micro-upgrade the Top Speed or Turning Speed?

 

It 's a mistery to me, and I really hope someone can come up with the right technical answers.

 

 

edit: did some testing with micro-upgrades in the test-server and the only thing that really negatively affected

the handling of the Hornet M3 IMO was the increase of the turning speed.

With increasing this it went from smooth quick turns to "too much of a good thing" at my taste.

So I won 't micro-upgrade the turning speed.

 

Further parameters didn 't really affect the drifting in a negative way. So micro-upgrading them is ok.

Drifting was no issue at all b.t.w. especially on the Hornet M3: starting to really :wub: this hull.

And I feel now that on the Hornet M3 with some more training drifting can actually go from a small nuisance

to a benefit in many situations.

 

 

Still I hope someone can give me some more technical info about this, or should I better try to make contact with a Dev?

 

 

 

Did quite some testing on the Hornet M3 with micro-upgrading different parameters at it during the nightmode testing. 

Drifting soon wasn 't any issue anymore and one thing is certain: now I really want the real thing! :)

 

IMO there is only one parameter which I personally found to have a negative effect

on the handling of the Hornet M3.

This parameter was the turning speed.

 

Micro-upgrading the turning speed made the Hornet too twitchy to my taste.

When I kept this MU parameter at zero the Hornet retained it 's basic fluidity.

 

So as far as I am concerned: question closed.

[JPBTanker 1]

Is smoky M2 worth getting, im still two ranks away, and probably wont rank up fast enough till christmass but ive seen many colonels use it and heard lots of things, mostly that it becomes op at M2 so should i get it at a future sale when i eventually reach that rank or keep saving up for my m3's

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Only about 4,000 more Exp. to rank up! I think I should be able to rank up before Christmas. . . .

But anyways, which path should I choose?

 

1. Hornet M3  <--- Its amazing and would definitely recommend. With isida m3 it is really powerful

• a. Freeze M3 and a good paint for my next rank. Highest possible paints are Irbis and Emerald when I rank. <--- Good m3 to start off with
• b. Ricochet M2 (Must preserve Crystals for M3 Ricochet, or M3 Railgun, etc.) <--- It still works with m3s but isnt as strong
• c. Twins M2 <--- I have it and its useless. It just collects duct in my garage

2. Save my Crystals for Viking M3 which is two ranks away. . . <--- With a bit of MU this is the strongest m3 IMO so would definitely recommend it

 

3. Save my Crystals to see if I like the new turrets. <--- I would save for a paint against them rather than the turret

 

If option 1, choose a, b, or c to accompany it.

 

Extra information: I own Smoky M2, Isida M3, Firebird M2, Thunder M1, Railgun M2, Twins M1, and Freeze M3 already. I own M2 Wasp, M2 Mammoth, and M1 Viking already. My best paint to this point is Digital unless I get Irbis or Emerald when I rank.

 

240,000 crystals.

1. Option 1 with A

2. Option 2

3. Option 1 with B

 

Good Luck :)

YES!!!!! I use it with hornet m3 and i still dominate battles

[9thDr 0]

Should I buy Freeze or Vikking? Which is overal better?

[arnav0506 2,777]

I think viking goes better with the ricochet and the freeze with the hornet

[doughnut2100 763]

Smoky m2 vs Firebird m2?

Well, here we go:

Pros and cons of each.

Pros of smoky- Allowed in light format, seems like a railgun would get the hang of it better than with other turrets, and you can knock off aim. Also more versatile.

Cons: some paints against smoky out there, would need to buy m1 as well and at a later rank.

Firebird pros- I have m1 already, i've wanted it a while, heard it is OP, can spray multiple enemies, I do not have short range m2 turrets atm, and I could get it at new year sale.

Cons-not allowed in light format, maybe I am better at long range and used to it so I would have different gameplay weapons.

 

This of course, is not taking into account the new weapons. Using the above information, you guys can help me choose between either. However, once I do the testing for the new turrets, I may change my plan. If I like either new turret (probably minigun), Maybe I will get that instead. Or, two m2s before my m3s.

 

More to take into account:

40k crystals (and will rank this week).

M2- Hunter, Hornet, Rail, Rico,

Best paint tundra.

Again, once testing begins, I may rethink this all. I probably will post here once again too.

[Pathfinder 1,690]

man what i buy shotgun or machinegun when they release

Test it on the test server when they open it :)

 

I have a feeling that both will be either OP or UP as with any new weapons, and will be rebalanced later

Knowing your budget would be helpful :)

 

But perhaps thunder or rail m1 :)
