What to buy? Which is better?

[Bluebird13 95]

Thank You!! I'll just save from now on till I get the minotaur kit available and around 200k, so I will be around rank major? If I have minotaur at rank major, is it still affective? BTW: I just got boar kit and I now have 4k xD

 

No worries, and Minotaur kit normally tops battles at my rank (if used right). Congrats with the boar kit.

Firebird is beast for any map. I used it well into the m3 ranks and it served me well. 

 

A safe option would be to get Railgun m2 with Fracture or Blacksmith and use that in XP battles. As it is very fair in those battles, you will still be able to compete with m3's 

Thanks, makes sense.

Can people please tell me what they think? Beforehand, I was only considering decent turrets; Railgun wasn't really one of the best, in my eyes. I didn't want it because of that reason, and a few others. Now, however, I don't mind as much about whether the turret is the best or not, because I have Firebird m2, which will last well into the M3 ranks. So, it has come down to Thunder, Railgun and (if by strange chance I happen to rank two times before Christmas) Smoky. I don't know if I would enjoy Smoky, but it is one of the better turrets. As for Thunder, I think it would be fun enough to use, but not enough damage, etc. When it comes to Rail, it cannot kill a stock Hornet m2 (second lightest hull, obviously) in one shot, so I guess I would need practice to become competent with it, especially when you consider the reload time.

I have pretty much outlined the bad points. I probably won't be getting Smoky, so it is really between the other two turrets.

 

I have 163k at this very moment, and will probably not be buying another hull until M3s (Hornet only). I like attacking best. Can everyone please give me their latest opinions? Please check my profile for more info. Thanks very much! :)

Could more people respond to this, please?

First - what do you play.

 

Second, what about Twins

what is better for dictator m3 (ricochet m3 or hammer m3)

I like playing on any maps, really. At the moment, I don't have a long range turret and therefore am limited to short and medium maps. I still can come first in Kungur, for instance, using Firebird alone. If I get another turret, then I can play on more maps with more ease (I hate using Firebird or Isida on Monte Carlo). As you probably know, now, I use Firebird m2 as my main turret (short range). Twins falls in the short-medium category to me, and therefore isn't what I am looking for.

 

Any map (ones with many people, friends, or for missions), Twins isn't suitable because I want a long range turret, and I like attacking (as I said earlier).

I just combined two posts so it is easier for people responding.

If you don't want Smoky, then the best guess I have for you is Thunder. You said you were worried about Thunder's damage - you shouldn't, cause Thunder's reload is more of the problem. For a large map, Thunder is actually decent in Kungur, I've tried using it and it is definitely usable. In other maps like Monte Carlo, Smoky prob isn't your best bet, but if you choose Thunder, keep in mind that its sucky without MUs.

 

Honestly if I were you I would keep playing with your current M2s and just keep saving. You could get an early M3 (Thunder, Isida etc) and/or a early M3 paint (Inferno Emerald)

[HaloScorpionV2 438]

Hmmm... Ok, at my CURRENT rank and lower, I think I'll only get Hammer m3.

Thanks. That would be sticking to Firebird only, and sometimes Isida. May I ask your opinion of Railgun M2?

btw when I said "other maps like Monte Carlo, Smoky prob isn't your best bet" I meant to say Thunder not Smoky.

 

Anyways I'm pretty sure the last time I used Rail was when I was a Colonel or something. As far as I can remember, it was an average upgrade from M1. I feel like nowadays users only buy Rail with the intention of playing XP. I can't really say much about Rail M2, pretty balanced in respect to other M2s.

Cedar for poly cp + noise ctf?

Has to last till at least 3 red stars or one golden star ( bad memory of rank names)

I plan to buy a paint if there is an xmas sale... if not cedar, any suggestions for paints from 3 gold diamond? Thanks

I'm not sure what Poly CP is like for M2 ranks, but I'm going to assume the same for Poly CP at my level - Fire, Twins, Thunder everywhere. You have storm, so I suggest a Thunder paint. Here is what I'll tell you:

 

1) Get Cedar if you want to get Emerald () later on

 

2) Get Rustle if you don't want Emerald in the near future

what kit should i save for? m3???

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

what kit should i save for? m3???

There are many options and they all unlock at various ranks. Medic is quite popular and cheap too

[NewbieCake 3,067]

 

~ Wall of text ~

 

If you can make it to Colonel, Smoky. It will last way into the M3 ranks. However, if you can't, I'd save for a good kit. You have M2 Firebird; and you can use Fire/Hornet up until Major General (). Giving you plenty of time to save for a decent M3 kit (e.g.,  Medic and Paladin).

Tell that to the folks that use that and nothing else.

Talk about inflated ego, they always boast and say "1v1 me bro!".

I know. THAT is the MAIN reason why I don't like rail. They always think they are better than everyone else.

[pwhite 120]

Get hunter m2. It is pretty cheap and it lasts a long time, plenty of enough time to get it m3. I used hunter fire m2 until marshal when I got prometheus kit which made it m3.

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Jackhammer is a great place to start, followed my Raiden, Legend and Medic :)

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

Hmmm... Ok, at my CURRENT rank and lower, I think I'll only get Hammer m3.

Good Choice. I would recommend Micro-Upgrading it to AT LEAST 105 damage so you can definitly 2 hit a Hornet M4 :) I did and don't regret it at all

I know someone with a HUGE ego. The only problem is hes good at XP. :/

Hornet is good. 

IMO staying alive and dealing slightly less damage is more important than dying quicker and dealing a bit more damage

Fire M2, Smoky M2 and Rail M2 work well at M3 ranks so you will be fine for turrets :)

But that's 36 steps!!!  :o
