What to buy? Which is better?

[GurmitSingh 27]

But still, increased cone view means less concentration of bullets against a tank...  :wacko:

Hopefully M4 Hammer lasts :)

I tested M3 Hammer on the Test Server......I didn't really feel a change. I guess that's because I use it close range more often than not. :P But then again, isn't that what it's supposed to be?

Its not much of a change, the change will just be noticed in further ranges :)

Which is a better kit to buy - Guardian kit (Titan M3/Smoky M3/Nano) or Jackhammer kit (Viking M3/Hammer M3/Tiger) ?

 

Mainly poly, also might use it for other small maps. :) Thanks for your reply in advance, guys!

polgygon perfectly suits Hammer :)

The nerf in the smoky coming next week will kinda make it even worse than it is

and hammer Is perfectly good for the maps :)

 

I got pretty great score when I bought hammer M2 fighting amidst these ranks,

M3 will sure do better :p

True, but then again there are very few hammer paints users in Polygon (As of now.) Once people start using Hammer paints, it will be a different story... In higher ranks, mostly one fights against more medium hulls compared to ranks below . Still, despite the challenge, it's a match well done XD.

And you think every one will get up hammer paints? :p

Some ppl wont be available at sales, some wont buy the hammer paints, etc

 

Hammer is strong enough for -40% protections as Ive seen :D

[fellar 37]

Not when i buy mars and then kick ur ass ...that was off topic...in topic

 

Lets say the following kits are in 50%

 

Option 1 : - they will put boar kit with a paint

option 2 : thunder and viking m2 kit with a paint as well

Or reverse both turrets with the respective kits....question is if it happens...which of 2 kits shall i buy..( to carry me till brigadier)

Anyone actually know when the 'rebalance' is?

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

Hello everyone... some of you may remember me from when I was very active around a year ago. I'm thinking to come back with this new balancing and recent updates, but not sure what I should invest in. I'm thinking to buy 300-500k of diamonds to kick off the start.

 

I currently own the following equipment:

Hulls: Wasp M4, Titan M2, Hunter M2, Mammoth M1 - All other hulls M0.

Turrets: Shaft M4, Freeze M3, Isida M2, Smoky M2, Rico M2, Railgun M2, M1 Thunder, M1 Twins, M1 Firebird, others M0

Paints: Zeus, Winter, Loam, Rustle, Electra, Tundra

 

Equipment that I do NOT plan on buying/upgrading:

Hulls: Hornet, Viking, Mammoth

Turrets: Twins, Firebird, Vulcan

 

I most enjoy skill/tactical style weapons/hulls/maps where I can take advantage of a weapon or hulls unique ability to overcome a less trained opponent. Ricochet and Thunder are very very fun in my opinion, because they have special ways to hit your opponents without necessarily being hit yourself, making them superior in my eyes. My problem is that Rico M3 is extremely far away rank-wise, and everyone (at least they used to) use protection paints against Thunder. I would play with thunder/rico on my wasp.

 

To buy list:

Rico M3 (eventually)

Thunder M3

An M3 heavy hull for drug-abusing and take-overs. I have not yet decided on mammoth or titan. I will use one with shaft occasionally.

A paint (middle range)

Railgun M3 (just for XP/BP - I see no reason to buy Hornet, i do not like how it handles at ALL in comparison to wasp, which I have highly at M4.)

 

So if anyone has suggestions or ideas... anything I should consider buying that I don't have listed, with some logical reasoning behind it according to my preferrences, please let me know!

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Rank - General

Crystals - 310,000

Garage - M2 XP M2 Fire, and M2 Dictator

Option 1 - Buy Jackhammer

Option 2 - Buy M3 XP and Prodigi on Sale

Option 3 - Any other

I am somewhat reluctant because I want to play clan wars and Starladder

P.S. I will get 420,000 crystals by June if I don't buy anything

So What To DO ?!?

This is my ALT

Definitly gwt Jackhammer kit

Hammer would be a good option. As would Rail for BP and Smoky

You dont need a hull but if you were to get one i would recommend Hunter

As for a paint i would recommend Prodigi. Rail can 1 hit a Wasp and Thunder can 2 hit it so it is good to have some protection against that.

Well, from the looks of things getting ricochet is currently the right thing to do, I don't know if they're going to change it but if they aren't, once you get to the rank, definitely get it. As for now, you already have a long ranged weapon; close ranged weapon, now you need one for mid-range. Thunder would probably be the best for this, in my opinion it's the most versatile turret out of any. It can do well on any hull, light, medium or heavy, the slower rate of fire, but the increase in damage (the new balance that is coming, not the current version), you can play it similar to railgun, hiding, then taking a shot, basically a 'peak-a-boo' tactic. Having wasp M4 at this rank gives you a massive advantage to most other players at your rank, so use it. Mammoth would defiantly the way to go if you're thunder however I would highly suggests using viking and thunder, amazing together. As for the paint, well again if you're going to use Thunder, Emerald would be the right choose as you have protection against yourself. Once you have reached a higher rank going for Picasso or later at Generalissimo get Africa. I wouldn't say it's final on what they have at the moment with the new balance but we'll have to wait and see. 

[r_brandybabyxx0 737]

Thank you both very much for your suggestions!

 

I think I will go for Thunder M4, and use it with my Wasp M4. It fits my personality the most, and will work great on any future hulls, and great in CP mode which seems to be growing in popularity... at least since I played a year ago. I enjoy the strategy of it, being able to self-destruct on command, the tactical splash-damage aspect, paired with the speed and agility of my wasp, I think I'll have a blast with it.

 

My current favorite combo has been Wasp + Smoky, knocking enemy's aim off constantly is really enjoyable, but im always out in the open when attacking, not so great for a little wasp with zeus paint.

 

After some thought, I believe my future plans are Titan or Mammoth M3, Hunter M3, Ricochet M3, Railgun M3 and 2 medium ranged paints. Clay... so perfect.

My personal choice would be Titan. It has only a little less armor then Mammoth, but a whole lot more speed and agility.

thunder m1 or hammer m1 which  is better

[Celestial_Maelstrom 23]

This is one of those (Tanki) life changing decisions. Feel free to contact me somewhere else if you wish to have a more back-and-forth discussion.

 

Option 1: Buy Isida m3, Hornet m3, Viking m3, Emerald. Use all your crystals.

Option 2: Buy Jackhammer kit (available at Brig and with Tiger), Isida m3 and Hornet m3. Use all your crystals.

Option 3: Buy Jackhammer kit (available at Brig and with Tiger), and mix match* up to 200k.

 

*(Isida m3, Hornet m3 or Emerald).

 

Basic differences: Between Option 1&2, I lose Emerald but get Tiger instead; Between Option 2&3, I'll have Hammer m3, Viking m3, Tiger, and then add 2 of these: Isida m3, Hornet m3, or Emerald.

 

When answering, please explain your reasons, if you have any, so I won't have to question your answer and you can go on your way. 

 

Note: I use Thunder m3, so if that changes your view on Emerald. Thank you.

Hello all, I'm back to play tanki after quite a bit of time so my knowledge is quite 'rusty' so I want to start in a simple map: Polygon.

 

I have planned to use isida, but I'm not sure if Hornet or Viking is better for it. Also, how is Isida after the rebalancing? Is it still good?

Isida got a buff, and it is easier to use and lock onto an enemy. I would definitely recommend it, but mostly as a support Turret, not a charge-the-pit-and-die Turret.

Dear sir, could you help recommend what paint or hull is best used with it in polygon? :)

[Baby_Sam 614]

You need to say for what and should be talking about the future specs.

Shouldn't you be thinking about M2 now?

[deadtoyou 2,502]

Viking/Hornet with Loam or Inferno. I see so many Firebirds in Polygon nowadays.....

Until @deadtoyou can reply, I can give you this advice.

 

Find out who kills you most, and get that paint.

It is hard to go wrong with a medium hull because it has some mobility and it has some health when you need it.
