Should I MU smoky or twins?

Smoky <3

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Garage:

m2 hornet, m2 mammoth, m2 freeze, m1 thunder, m1 rail, m1 fire, m1 wasp

others m0 i think

Paints: jaguar, swash, in love are main paints. Forester 15% is xp paint others are bad

Turrets:

I like isida, but it's too bad for my rank. Railgun is a good option but i'm not as good as you guys

Can't get smoky m2 or wasp m2 bcuz of rank

Rico seems quite good, but then I wouldn't be able to buy anything (maybe a paint)

Thunder I'm crap at now, somehow

Shaft is also attractive, as it can 1 shot m3 hornet, but the laser gives it away

 

Paints:

I kinda like digital, but tundra is a good alternative.

Sandston-youknow what im confused

 

I have digital and i haven't regretted getting it for a second. With a few micro upgrades i wasp able to resist 1 rail m2 shots (with hornet m2) and thats what made me love it

Is Dictator or Titan better for golds?

[DonutsForLife 292]

small maps (etc ping pong, island) - titan

 

med - big maps (etc. polygon, silence) - dictator :D

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Is Dictator or Titan better for golds?

Depends, Do you get under the gold or do you wanna push for the gold? I would say dictator as it is faster and can be used for all round playing not just camping

Should I MU smoky or twins?

If I had to make the decision, I would probably go with smoky just because it is much more interesting to use in battle, it has that infamous critical hit, and force is overpowering (well so is twins). Twins is also pretty good, but it can get pretty boring overtime. Also, a lot of players would probably call you skilless and other because twins really only requires you to be able to press the spacebar and turn your turret. Also, twins can't shoot through players while smoky can. I would love to play with smoky with a titan and just sit in the back and pick out my enemies one by one while using a double power while an Izzy is healing me constantly :D .

Hi, I am warrant officer 2 (after 2000 xp ill be warrant officer 3) what color is better for warrant officer 3? I like swash but its too expensive :( , give me a cheap one wich is also WORTH IT!

If I were you, I would just save and not rush to buy a paint. Remember, until you reach 4-star general and Marshall, there will always be a better version of your paint. When I was your rank, I waited months and months to rank and buy a paint worth using until at least the Brigadier level. I eventually bought python, MUd it a bit, and became one of the most powerful players on the field in CTF matches. You have to remember that playing at your level will be much different when playing at the colonel level. In most cases, people in the lower level warrant officers are still developing their own skill, tactics, and strategy to win. Now that smartcooldowns is in place, even more skill is needed to be able to know when to drug and not as well as which drug to use. If I were you, I would wait, see which turrets is most effective on you or just fits your playing style, and pick a paint that provides substantial health (at least 30% protection) and stick to it until you can buy an even better paint. I used this method on python and it has helped me capture flags, support my team, and get a bunch of gold boxes. Of course, this method is for the non-buyers of the game. If you do buy, it's a completely different story.  

 

Hope I helped :)

Is railgun worth it? I was gonna get it M2 but lately i have been seeing alot of prodigies because of the old medium tank m2 kit and it takes so many hits to kill even a hornet. Even digital and tundra are a pain. Should i abandon railgun and switch to another turret like ricochet ?

 

Same thing happened with thunder m2 because of cedar rustle and emerald, its just rendered useless, i havent used it in a while now and am planning to replace it with smoky m2

 

So what do you guys think? ( preferably higher ranks as they are familiar with paints used in their battles)

Since I am mainly a CTF fighter, I'll say that I very commonly will see a mixture of tundras (very common), pythons, electra, corrosion, and jaguar at the colonel and lower level. I never bought railgun or thunder to begin with just because of all the protection paints out there for them. Most kit buyers will have emerald and prodigy, which provide 40+% protection to both turrets. Unless you are drugging with these turrets, fighting may be a struggle, especially when you can't rely on your teammates to help you.

 

If I were you, I would totally go with m2 smoky. It is a BEAST, especially in numbers. The only paint however that may be a pain as you go to colonel level and above is savanna and needle, just because savanna is unlocked at the brigadier rank and needle was available to those who bought the m3 light kit. Other turrets you may also want to consider is m2 ricochet and m2 firebird just because you sell far less paints on the field that provide substantial protection to these turrets. The only downside however is that both are unlocked m3 at the Commander rank, which is a long way from now. Isida is another good turret to consider because its a very powerful m3 turret for CTF matches as well as well has staying on defense and just healing your comrades. However, electra and Irbis can be a pain. I think to compensate with all the paint protections nowadays however for thunder is that it is one of the earliest m3s you can unlock. In fact, its the first next to Isida.

 

Just a few things to think about. Hope I helped :)

[jazz20 1,181]

Alright so I'm buying M1 Thunder and Hunter M1 on the next sale, is that good? Also, what paint should I buy? I was going to buy Corrosion but I ranked up and unlocked more paints so what should I buy?

Hunter and Thunder are a very good combo together, although hunter may be a bit challenging in that it isn't quite as fast as hornet yet it still has that drift affect, which may be challenging and annoying at times (especially when you are completely drugged up). A better hull in my opinion for thunder is Viking just because it has more health, no drift, very steady, and thunder is not the kind of turret you want to rush your enemies with especially because of its self-damaging affect.

 

A paint I would recommend to use, especially if you are to become a major thunder fighter, is to use a paint that protects you from thunder, such as Cedar. Due to thunder's self damaging ability, many of your opponents may get up in your face when your trying to shoot them in hopes that you may kill yourself or they kill you quicker. After Tanki implemented that self-destruct penalty, playing with thunder has become much tougher. I wouldn't recommend corrosion to much because it is much more suited for battling it out at the m1 level. Once you start leveling up into the Lieutenant ranks, the battles start to concentrate more on the m2 level.  

 

Just some things to consider. Hope I helped :)

[jazz20 1,181]

Should i get twins m2 or smoky m2? I am an attacker. The hulls I have are hornet m2 and viking m1 (but if u guys tell me to get twins m2 i have the crys to get viking to m2)

Twins m2 with Viking m2 is a beast combo thanks to twins unlimited ammo and Vikings extreme stability. Smoky needs more of a tactical approach and may command more strategy to use against your opponents, but seeing that you are mainly an attacker, going all out on the twins may fit your style, especially if you have all three drugs on :D . Also, there aren't too many commonly used paints that provide substantial protection from twins at your rank, although just to name a few are roger, spark, and urban. Also, if you have m2 mammoth or m2 titan, you may as well be the king of defense in any battle with twins.

 

Hope I helped :)

Is Dictator or Titan better for golds?

Dictator of course. Titan is too slow, there is that new 20 second warning so gold catching won't be like it was before, and if a player happened to get on top of you, you wouldn't be able to shake him off as easily as you would with dictator. And besides, I never see too many people using titan in any of those gold box youtube videos. Here are a few videos to check out.

u don't know anything about viking. it's the most versatile hull in this game.

It is the cop out for noobies, a cheap, low rank, medium hull that is only good with....Shaft?

[r_pits0 8]

Actually, hunter is xD

 

hunters the jack of all trades hull on tanki.

Mhm.

[DaVinceFTW 19]

It is certain that I am getting M2 Firebird in the New Year's sale.

But what other thing should I get?

I'm considering the following:

M2 Thunder

M2 Railgun

Rustle

 

If I rank up by then, I'm also considering M2 Viking

[mrcabdriver 1]

Im about to level so I will be able to purchase viking m3. Im currently running viking m2 and isada m3. Its not the best setup but it works great for my style of play. I prefer silence, kungur, serpuhov, rio, noise and polygon. I like the healing position while defending but do occasionally go after flags when we are in a close game. I currently finish in the top 4 most of the time even in higher rank battles. Im concerned about the speed of viking for healing. Im wondering if I should switch to hornet m3 to get to my teammates faster.  Im looking at long term play with whatever setup i go with and what would benefit my team the most.

thanks winnerofturkey, greyat and jazz, smoky it is!

I already asked this, but what should I get during the Christmas sale, M3 Hornet or Emerald? I have the following in my garage currently (that I actually use):

 

Hulls:

M2 Hornet (my favorite)

M2 Dictator 

M1 Viking (rarely, if ever)

 

Turrets:

M3 Isida

M2 Railgun

M2 Firebird

M2 Ricochet

M1 Shaft

M1 Thunder

 

Paints:

Tundra

Rustle

 

What should I do?!?!?!?!?!? 

 

P.S. I just ranked, and I only have 123,000 crystals, so not enough for both.
