What to buy? Which is better?

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

Which one between Hunter or Viking? One is 7 HP more, the other is 1,2 SPEED more. It's a tough fight, between those two  :)

 

Rico is cool, but someone has told me that it lasts too much for M3, and I would be figting with an M2 gun against M3s, so better not go for it...What do you think?

 

About Twins, I will just forget about it, I will maybe go for them when I am a super-Generalissimo with thousands of cry B)

 

Yup, I will get Viking and Thunder!!!  :P

 

And I already have M1 combo, hehe, Isida and Rico -Hornet. But that new combo will help undoubtedly in DM and CP. So from now on, saving mode ON.

 

Kirby, I appreciate your precious advice, thank you vey much again!!!!

The fight between hunter and viking, dont listen to any one on which is better, not even me who says hunter

 

As its a real though fight, go see which is your calling, hunter's more speed or Viking's more durability.

 

Tho I have M3 vik and will get M3 hunter soon so Im prepared for situations which need speed, or durability xD

 

(planning on wasp and titan in the long term, after I have MUd Hunter,Isi,thunder, (maybe even some lil bit on Viking's health and speed) and bought clay and MUd it a bit too :lol:)

 

 

And rico, there is a reason for late unlock, I always run when I see a Rico M2/M3 :lol:

Hehe, sorry for the long post, and thx for answering! :rolleyes:

 

As I said, I'will be going with Hornet+Isida and using Viking+Thunder....It's great that most of you agree on the same aspects!

I will not mess around wasting cry, only focus on these 2 turrets+2 hulls, which will give me 4 different combos.

 

By the way, I would like to know what do you think of Hunter and Viking. I’ve been looking through Hunter and Viking stats, and i find that, when M3, Hunter has only 7 HP less but 1,2 more speed. I would like to know why is Viking considered to match perfectly with Thunder instead of Hunter, which, by looking the stats, I find more OP than Viking.

 

Learning from experiencied is the best way we can learn, so thank you for your reply ;)

I personally do not use Hunter, so I cannot fully appreciate what it can do. I would say, however, that Viking M3 unlocks several ranks before Hunter M3, therefore allowing you to get closer to having an amazing M4 hull much faster.

^ Hey kirby, I'm buying Smoky M2 on Tanki's birthday, should I pump MUs into it, or leave it clean until Marshal? Also, what's the situation like at generalissimo battle using Thunder M4? Still awesome, right?

Maybe a couple can't hurt but leave it clean imo :)

 

Yeah, it's awesome. Double powers are addicting, I can one/two hit most things on the field, and rack up insane K/Ds

 

  

hey thanks kirby sir !

i am glad u answer me i love thunder too sir

but the fact is i am confused between four guns smoky , thunder , rico and hammer

i am confuse which one to choose

i love all four of them

i am an old playe of tanki and playing since 2012 and thunder and smoky  r great in my hands and i love both of them

but after the update of rico i star using it and when the hammer came  i was like to buy this gun and use it cause of its damage

i am confuse sir plaese help me thanks

To be honest all of them are great weapons. Just pick which you like the most, find the most fun to play with, etc. That's probably the best choice for you!

At base m3 there's no doubt hunter is probably the way to go. You should have a look at m4 stats, it's fairly balanced :) viking unlocks earlier as road pointed out - partly the reason why I went for viking over hunter...

 

You're right, it unlocks late. Maybe pick up a different m3 until you can buy it!

 

Good luck with it!

Thank you for your answer J

 

I will follow your advice, stick with Hornet-Viking-Isida-Thunder and yet forget about Twins-Mammy. When I’m an absolute pro, I will consider buying it or not.  As you say, sticking with those guns I have lots of different combos, which is awesome!

 

I’ve been looking through Hunter and Viking stats, and i find that, when M3, Hunter has only 7 HP less but 1,2 more speed. I would like to know why is Viking considered to match perfectly with Thunder instead of Hunter, which, by looking the stats, I find more OP than Viking...just curiosity!

 

I hope I get to master Thunder fast! By the  way, should I get a paint that protects Thunder like ‘Cedar’ now? Or better wait for INFERNO-EMERALD-PRODIGY and so on?

 

I have never tried Freeze or Rail, how are they?

As detailed above by a couple very high rankers, hunter is in my opinion the better m3. The only thing that kept me from going for it is that it unlocks later for each modification than viking. I would say that viking advantage and disadvantage is that it is so low to the ground. The pro's are that it pairs very well with thunder because it gives a stable shooting platform for easier aiming, and allows you to shoot downward easier. The cons are not being able to catch as many gold boxes and that shooting upwards is at times difficult. If you enjoy a little speed more than a little health, go with hunter, but it will take more ranks to unlock each modification :)  

 

Thunder paints for a thunder user are crucial, and although splash damage has decreased, it is still important. If you have a solid pure protection paint, stick with it. If you dont, buy cedar. Don't fall into the trap of buying too many paints though. Once you buy cedar or an equivalently priced paint, wait until about brigadier (my rank) to look at getting a new one, probably emerald.

 

One more point, if you enjoy ricochet STICK WITH IT! This game is all about having fun and enjoying your time on here! Picking the most OP combo may ensure some success, but not necessarily enjoyment. I believe you can make the three turrets/ two hull system work, as I have done the same. So buy them all (thunder, rico, isida, viking, hornet). You will just need to save very carefully and never purchase any un=needed paints. I am doing the same thing now, and have well over 300k ready to spend at the june sale, and get freeze m3, hornet m3, thunder m3, and Emerald paint. Just save and you will be fine!

 

To answer your other question, I enjoy freeze and rail, but sadly freeze is quite under-powered, but I still enjoy it. I love playing friends 1 v 1 with rail/hornet, so it is a must as well. Good luck my man :)

Hero kit worth get, or get items separately at 50% sale?

[Roadrunner15 47]

(Rock + Needle) OR (Rock + Freeze M3)

[kedar2 28]

WHat sould i buy on Tankis B day? Thunder m1 or hammer m1

[FLEEEEE.TANKIONLINE 0]

Is Firebird m3 is better than Isida m3 !!! :P :D

[Pathfinder 1,690]

(Rock + Needle) OR (Rock + Freeze M3)

Rock is, in my opinion anyway one of the best paints in the game. Don't rate needle as much, the shaft protection isn't as useful, as say railgun in savanna. Freeze is decent, I prefer my Isida though

[Pathfinder 1,690]

Is Firebird m3 is better than Isida m3 !!! :P :D

Can be :) biased maybe but I prefer Isida!

[FLEEEEE.TANKIONLINE 0]

thanks sir!!

but i ike attacking and i guess isida is for defending

[L.I.B.E.R.A.T.O.R 218]

Emerald paint worth to MU? Or save for future Inferno? Also, how effective is Savanna paint in poly?

I might save for next 50% sale.

[Baby_Sam 614]

Who said that? You can attack with every turret, but not every hull. Firebird is better than Isida in defending too. Isida can be key in an organized attack because if you die, you respawn at your base, miles away from where you are attacking. You need an Isida to keep you alive behind enemy lines. Where if you die defending, you respawn near where you died.

Okay, I shall save the crystals to MU thunder M3... and save the rest for something else? By the way, what paint are you using for Thunder?

Emeral with MUs is great against thunders and twins in maps like polygon and slightly when MUed it can help against the commonly occurring railguns in polygon CPs

But sure inferno is better for smaller maps as it can be MUed to protect 23% against twins and with not more than 100k at 50% discount to MU both anti fire and anti freeze to 41% + 21% anti twins .. while emeral is supposed to protect against faraway gunfire so it helps with bigger maps, but it can be replaced with the much better clay and prodigi as you wont find an attacking twins , however these days we see a lot of twins are attacking using light hulls and they are really oped !  However for emerald then its anti twins + anti thunder are great combination + anti rail.. but with the last ranks you would prefer Africa as its much better than emerald ..

Savana is better than needle as it serves against rail as well unlike with needle as it protects against the useless shaft, and since the rail players are much more these days..
