What to buy? Which is better?

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

True, it does unlock early. However, the Thunder m2's damage is still pretty good. I do not want m2 Railgun, because the stock version cannot "one-shot-kill" a slightly MU'd m1 Hornet, let alone an m2 Hornet. I do not want to spend time micro-upgrading, plus, with the new system, it would be much more expensive to do so. One other point against railgun is that everyone seems to have it, so I simply don't want it because of that.

Smokey is good, but I don't have the time to rank up three more times before Christmas time. I cannot afford it without a sale. If I do not buy Thunder, then what can I get? Nothing else is close to my rank, except for Railgun, Hammer, and Ricochet.

 

Can people tell me if m2 Thunder still does well in the ranks before m3 turrets? I am pretty sure it does, but the confirmation would be good. 

M1 thunder can do good damage against m2 hulls so m2s thunders increased reload time would really help vs hornets and mammoths.

Yeah, true, although every m2 turret would be better than the m1. The problem is that m3 thunder unlocks at a very early rank, so it may not be worth buying the m2. I just wanna know if it would be good through all the m2 ranks, and into the m3s.

[Amateur 829]

True, and I do love Hornet. I was never planning on completely trading it off for a different hull. It's just in some maps heavier hulls do best, i.e. Ping-Pong, Hill and Island; sometimes, the winner is the person with more health. On the subject of Thunder, do you reckon that I should  buy it? I do well with Firebird, but it can only excel on some maps. Therefore, I want a long/medium range gun. As my previous post stated, I do not need to pay for Firebird, so I am not really wasting crystals on a purchase, I am just buying something different. Thanks for your reply, I may not buy another hull now, but I still would like one.

 

Thanks,

Bluebird13

 

PS

Should I maybe save for a better m2 hull, like Viking or Titan, or go for an M3 one? I know that I am a long way off then, but I need to have some idea of what I should do.

Thunder is good in noise, rio and other common maps.

About hulls, go for an m3 one.

 

Hi guys ,

in my main account(general)

i have a lot of crystals...

last week i was planning to get the Titan and twins m3 kit but fell short of 10k...

now that i have enough for any kit which do you think will suit me...( polygon cp and noise ctf)

should i buy twins or smoky when i rank up?

Twins is the best for polygon cp, but smoky is better in noise.

 

What i should buy in a Sale?

 

Dictador M2

Hornet M3

Or probably Viking M3

 

Got 110k, probably got 150k or 160k for chrismas

Viking m3. It is the best. I will be useful till gismo

The M3 Thunder isn't actually worth it so don't consider buying it. And yeah Thunder M2 is just as good as M3 in the sense that you can 3 shot hornet M3s in the early M3 ranks. But mind you its not a 'long' range turret as its damage drastically decreases with distance.

Looking at your garage, your gameplay is isida and hornet ONLY because of the underpowered low rank m1s.

Get m2 thunder and welcome back the diversity.

Okay then, I guess I will just rely on m2 Hornet. Then, it will be between m3 Hornet and m3 Viking, I guess (much, much, much later on in the future...).

Okay, thanks. I think that that was exactly what I wanted to hear... (I will buy it, now! During a sale). I'm happy, as long as it works on semi-large maps, including Kungur, Rio and others. I am sorta sick of chasing tanks and weaving through cover to get to them, so it may be a good change from Firebird and Isida.

Yep, I think I will, even though m3 is close by (-ish). Thanks for your reply. By the way, my Firebird is completely MU'd, so it is practically an m2 (I maxed my reload, and since the newest update I have been upgraded in the other aspects, too).

 

PS

I think I agree that Railgun is too common, to put it lightly. Bluntly, it must take no skill to use it. Hah.

 

Thanks, everyone. My only concern now is that Hornet may not be best in all maps, for example, Noise, when attacking the blue flag. I often die after a few shots. However, I cannot have/be the best in everything, so I'll adapt, and become more of a midfielder/ defender instead of only "heal" or "charge". The problem is that I find defending boring (too bad for me, I'll be a midfielder). Thanks again.

Should I buy the 1200 supply kit for 105000 and become op?

[Roadrunner15 47]

I'm trying to do some planing for my alt account, DrgnBlst. I want to try to not use what I used in my main account in my alt, so I am going for the following:

 

Turrets - Smoky, Vulcan, Freeze

Hulls - Wasp, Hunter,Titan (the only crossover, just because I need a good heavy hull)

Paints - don't really care yet (currently have Tundra because of the "Siberian" kit)

 

The only M2 that I might buy outside of a kit is Smoky M2 if I don't get it in a kit before it unlocks.

 

My question is what kit(s) should I be aiming to get that fit these preferences well?

By the way, if you want to use Thunder in the long run, I recommend buying it M3 at Brigadier and not buying M2 now. A stock M3 Thunder (no MU) is pretty trash, but a M3 Thunder (with MU) in the ranks General and under, it is OP. Mine is 41/50 (kinda got lucky after the MU update), and its fantastic, although I don't know about the long run.

Skip both thunder m2 and m3 and instead go for hammer m2 right now. At your rank you could unlock it. It is far superior at m3.

[panamatriple 37]

I have a question. I plan to have ~390k by christmas sale, and will also have ranked up. Currently have m3's of freeze, rail, viking, hornet.

Option 1: Hammer m3, Twins m3, and Wasp m3

Option 2: Hammer m3, Twins m3, MU's on Viking m3

Option 3: Twins m3, Isida m3, Tiaga paint

The paint I use currently is Emerald. I play mostly Poly CP, a little island and noise, and xp/bp.

M3 Twins seems obvious to me. But you might want a heavy hull to pair it with, especially in Poly CP. Not sure what Wasp will do for you, since you already have Hornet and play Poly CP mainly. idk about Hammer though, but in general I would go for Twins, a paint, and MUs.

 

Edit: And how is Freeze/Viking in Poly CP?

The problem I have with Hammer is that it isn't really very ranged at all. I know it can, and does, do well, but I wanted a turret with more range. If you think I'm making a mistake, could you tell me why? Thanks.

 

Edit:

One reason why I don't really want short range is because I already have m2 Firebird.

Hammer is a good turret vs wasp and hornet and it can do very good damage to heavy hulls. It can be used well for camping at your base with teammates but for midfield its pretty useless. Stick with smoky/thunder for midfield.

Actually, I prefer attacking best, but midfield would probably be a near second for me, because I could stop flags, aid flag captures, and even attack if there is a good opportunity. Hammer would be good with when attacking, but it depends on the map too; I may as well just use Firebird for that. Also, heavier hulls would pair well with Hammer (and Firebird, sometimes), but all I have other than Hornet is m1 Viking. Unless I am charging into a base in Noise, then Hornet should be enough to keep me going. I hope.

Go for option 3 twins m3 if u upgrade them last far into generalissimo isida m3 is beast at ur rank and so is Tiaga paint

Hammer does well with attacking but for maps with medium size bases that often have mammoths and vikings defending i.e. brest it wont be effective. Thunder can get to a spot near the flag and shoot at those mammoths while damaging the isida(s) healing it without taking a lot of damage in return as hammer 1. cant hit something behind something else 2. needs to get close to do decent damage.

I have hammer/hornet m1-m1 and in tdms i keep my kdr over 2.50. ninja_on_tracks

I would much prefer Thunder, but the problem is that the m3 is available at a low rank, so it may be a waste. I think I will just get the m2, then move on to a different turret later.

The fastest way to get m3 is through bulldozer kit. Only unlocks 2 ranks later & you get emerald too.

What is the cost, and what hull...

 

I'll find out.

I will probably still get m2, because it is cheaper, and sooner.

The bulldozer kit costs 243k, but has great-ish equipment. I only have 105.3k now, so I cannot afford it any time soon.

 

EDIT:

Does "243 840 at 40% off"  mean that it costs 243.8k, or 97.5k?

 

EDIT x2:

It costs 244k...

 

PS:

I do not buy crystals, so I won't be getting this. Thanks for suggesting the option, though.

There's also the fortress kit at 166k crystal but it has an M2 version instead. -With Rustle instead of Emerald.

I will have 200k by Christmas sale. I don't have a protect paints against hammer and smoky but I have a lot of m3's. Should I get rico m3, nano paint or mu smoky and thunder m3?
