What to buy? Which is better?

[r_Ultimate013570 21]

At your rank there's no paint that offers anything substantial. Much better to save for turret and hull upgrades on at least 50% sales for now :)

So pretty much, even if I'm able to buy a turret and/or hull, I should wait for sales to buy things? Oh and when will paints be something I should be concerned about?

I've always waited for at least a 50% sale. Anything more than that generally buy it whatever it is ;)

 

Paints... Wait till brigadier plus in my opinion. Investing in one or two that would bring you up to that level might pay off, but no more than one in my opinion!

Should I consider MUs before Fieldmarshal when my gear unlocks at: Brigadier, Lituanant General, General. Marshal and Fieldmarshal? Also, this is less about what to buy, but do M3s that unlock later have less effective MUs?

@Ultimate01357:

Golden rule for Free-players: Only buy on 50%+ sales.

Save up, and you can buy a lot on sales. Especially with the crystals you get for ranking.

By the way, I agree with Kirby that you should get paints after hitting Brigadier and up.

 

It is important to note that I said ONLY buy on 50% sales, NOT "always" buy on 50% sales. Sometimes waiting, saving, and ranking for other types of equipment is better than just getting whatever comes M3 first, got it? :P

 

@Loackie: If you're 100% sure that that item is what you want at M3, and it unlocks at the end-game ranks like Field Marshall, Commander, and Generalissimo, then I guess it's worth it to Micro-upgrade (e.g. Dictator, Mammoth, Vulcan, etc.). If it's something that unlocks fast, like Freeze/Thunder, then no.

 

I'm not sure about MU's effectiveness, so can't answer that.

And if I were you, I'd only Micro-upgrade on sales. :P

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I was wondering. . .which path shall I tread. . .

 

A. Get M2 Vulcan

B. Get M2 Vulcan and Micro-upgrade

C. Get M3 Viking, my first M3 Hull. (Need to rank up, which I am close to doing).

 

I feel like M3 Viking is the best choice. . ..Considering it'd be my first M3 Hull. . .

But Machine Gun is such a FUN turret! :(

The first few MU steps are always pretty cost effective, so I would recommend doing all your M3s to at least the first few levels. Personally, I prefer to have a few m4 combos than a lot of m3s that's my preference :)

 

Generally yes, the ones that unlock later improve a bit less, but they are also better at base m3

I'd advise you to get m3 viking first. M2 Vulcan unlocks quite early while m3 Vulcan unlocks at a much higher rank. It wouldn't be of much benefit getting it now, considering how weak it would be at your rank. However, if you really want to get it, get it after you get viking m3 and MU it. Viking m3 would go really nicely with Vulcan.

what kind of maps are best for isida wasp if i get it m2/m3?

[Loackie 269]

nothing too small, and not too many buildings so your adaptive range doesn't get cancelled

it is a video game and video games are met to be fun so just get the machine gun

[panamatriple 37]

I need more recommendations on what I should get on the sale

M2 freeze- I'm used to it

M1 hammer- M1 viking - for good protection

M1 twins- M1 hornet- for fun

M1 railgun - M1 hunter- because I like hunter

M1 shaft- M1 dictator-drugs- for more range

M1 ricochet- M1 mammoth- lots of drugs - i dominated with it on the test server

M1 machine gun(vulcan)- M1 hunter-drugs- good combo

I'm sorry if i ask this too much its just i really need a good combo

Well definitely get freeze m2. At your rank you will be the best tank out there. I got it m2 at WO5 and it was an absolute beast. then save for m2 hornet.

[roadkill78 39]

freeze m2 it is

mot people tell me to get that

As you know, m1 firebird has a long gap from getting to m2, which means I might get owned, so is it worth it to use a different combo meanwhile, like a different combo so i'm up-to-date with everything? If so, which one would be best for offense (turret and hull)?

Do you want to stick with close range turrets? Or are you interested in going long? One option is to get thunder (the joint latest unlocking M1) and use that until Fire M2 comes out. Another is to get freeze or isida M2 and use them until Fire becomes available. Using M1 wasp as a platform, maybe with the first few micros, will give you more crystal freedom with turrets since you won't have to worry about the 70K or 90K to get hornet M2. M1 Hunter is very overpowered when it first becomes available and can carry you well into the M2 stage, It works well with Thunder, Twins, Shaft, Rico, and Smokey, and will work with short range weopons if you use it right. It has more protection that M1 Viking.

I think I want to have a turret that will work best offensively, if there is one that is offensive in mid or long range, so I should use hunter into the m2 stages, and then switch to what?

what i should buy m2 viking or hornet or dictator

Thunder is a turret which works good enough in short-medium and large ranged maps,

of course,you need to have protection from your own thunder in short ranged maps,

 

and you could use viking as a serving to reach hunter 3 (if you are into hunter)

and cant go or MU your M2 hunter all the way to M3, just buy a Viking,

you have your thunder M3 :) buy EME for it :) and I'd suggest viking as it suits isida and thunder better than hornet IMO

Perhaps it is my rank , but I can't see Wasp as a useful hull. Hornet can make jumps. And if you don't jump then, go Hunter if you just want/need speed. Both Wasp and hornet seem super vulnerable to "one-shots".

 

There seems to be no heavy tank advocates running around in this forum. "Viking" seems to be the heaviest hull advocated, no matter the rank or M level.

I wonder.

It's all about versatility, Light hulls can work in any map with varying degrees of power. They also work with every turret. If I could choose only one hull to M4 it would be either Hornet or Wasp. Adaptabilty is also present with medium hulls, and you CAN use mammy on a large map, it's just easier and more convienent to roll with just one hull, easpecially for non-buyers.

As to being one shotted, try dirty with wasp or Corrosion with hornet. That problem disappears until M2's become popular.

I know, but is it worth for being offensive, I mean, I kinda want a mid-long range offensive weapon if any, not a short-mid or short-mid-long, just anything that would do best at mid-long range, excluding the few closer range weapons, thunder is also something I'd rather not have due to my game style, I'd much rather have the mid-long range weapons as listed below

 

Weapon choices I would like since they aren't close ranged twins, smoky, railgun, shaft or rico as well as which would go best with that specific turret, I have hornet, so something that would go well with that is something i'd like, oh and btw, I think I like railgun, is it a deadly weapons for attacking? Also, when should I buy it?
